Join our host, Daisy Burns-O’Keefe, on her mission to dive into as many avenues as possible with guests across her hometown.
Why? Because there’s just not enough real stories from real people in real creative career paths available.
This podcast is an effort to cultivate community and a sense of belonging. It’s not about perfection, it’s about collaboration and seeing the ‘art’ in living an authentic life. The guests aren’t professional speakers, and each episode is a step toward a bigger goal than numbers.
