Season 2 Episode # 17 Simon Drew coming from Australia

You can find Simon at simonjedrew.com or via his Instagram @simonjedrew and please make sure to listen to his podcast The Walled Garden.

Simon is an Australian philosophical mentor, poet, author, musician, and photographer.  He received his Bachelor of Music Performance from the Queensland Conservatorium of Music and is currently studying for a Master of Divinity at Trinity College.   Simon is well known for his work with the Practical Stoic Podcast, which has since evolved into The Walled Garden.   

Simon finds great satisfaction in helping artistic and creative clients to think differently about the creative process, the philosophical and theological implications of artistry, and the role of the artist in culture at large. Inspired by his creative heroes, as well as by his own experience as a creative artist, he helps clients get the most out of their gift, and to overcome major personal objections while creating the conditions for their talents and gifts to shine.  

Speaking of gifts and shining, Simon’s authored his first book, The Poet and The Sage  - congrats on so many fronts and for the hard work and dedication to being a student of life… Simon, welcome to the show!
