The Make and Create Podcast
Welcome to the Make and Create Podcast. Here you can find the raw reality behind pursuing the path less traveled when it comes to creative pursuits, careers and life. This space houses inspiration to keep you motivated while on your own journey. This is the rebrand of Halfstack Highlights so you'll still find past episodes in our feed, but we have new ones going live every other Friday beginning in May of 2018. Make + Create is the reinvention of that show, but with a twist. I'll be broadening the scope of the conversations to align with a new path as I explore my own direction within the creative community I am part of here on the internet. While business may still be a topic of conversation, the conversations are likely to go deeper and touch on subjects that are outside of the norm. Whether I talk to an astrologer, reiki practitioner or the founder of an emerging e-commerce site, I want to learn more about why they are choosing the road less traveled. I'm hoping to share the beauty of the messy parts of life and the mistakes along with the successes. I want to offer a perspective that goes outside of those perfect little squares we see on Instagram. I want to remind you that it's ok to make mistakes, to stumble and fail, but the important thing to remember is the lesson you are learning along the way to your own version of success.
