"And for whatever reason, it just mesmerized me. It's sort of that moment I became a person, I became conscious" - Jake Thistle, Musician & Singer-Songwriter.

During this kōrero, Jake shares his journey as a singer-songwriter, discussing the early influences that shaped his love for music, his experiences in songwriting, and the importance of learning from others in the industry.

We explore the themes of pursuing dreams and navigating the challenges of imposter syndrome. Jake reflects on the power of lyrics, the significance of collaboration, and the art of interpretation in music, all while maintaining a genuine passion for his craft.

We discuss the impact of age and experience on artistic growth, the balance of identity as a musician and student, and the lasting influence of Tom Petty on Jake's musical journey. His dialogue emphasizes the importance of learning from both successes and critiques, and the dynamic nature of personal and artistic development.

Are You A Charlotte?

Are You A Charlotte?

In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
