The Apprenticeship Diaries

Ep. 238 "A Real Sweetheart" (3:3 Diary Entry with Kevin Kline)

In this last third of his Diary Entry, we talk about wisdom with Kevin Kline of Tattoo Icons (Perryville, MD); How important wisdom is and all the different ways to acquire wisdom (the funny and stupid ways). Kevin shares what his hopes are for the next 5 years and shouts out some epic influences he's had already; Influences that give him hope and inspiration for the future. 
Overall, this show is honored to know such a sweet human as Kevin. It's obvious that he cares deeply about the work and those he practices with.
Thank you so much Kevin! This was an amazing time. Thank your cat too. As much as we recommend life out of the closet, we can appreciate the moments where we just gotta hide.
Praise God for all the blessings. We are honored by the time of each guest and every Listener.

Ep. 236 "A Wise Choice" (Diary Entry 1:3 with Kevin Kline)

Part 1 of this 3 part Diary Entry is called "A Wise Choice" because Kevin Kline made a wise choice to get fully into tattooing again, before he came on the podcast. He knew the ups and downs of his time, trying to get into tattooing and he wanted to put a good foot forward before he talked too much. Now, as a member of the Tattoo Icons crew, he can start sharing with us and we can shout out his story.
More, it's November 5th, General Election Day and we all should be out to make solid choices today. 
Thank you so much for this time Kevin. God bless you and all who listen in.

Ep. 235 "An Honest Assessment" (After Paradise with your host)

This wasn't an assessment of the Paradise Tattoo Gathering. It was a personal assessment of how I felt after I went to this gathering and the specific ways that I really stretched beyond my limits. 
At the end, as tired as I am, I'm so grateful and have nothing but great moments to recall. 
This life is a blessing and so are each and every Listener of the show! Thank you to all who made Paradise amazing (you know who you are). God bless you all... as well as the pets!

Ep. 234 "The Family That Plays Together" (Diary Entry 2:2 with Lewis Bunn)

This is Part 2 and the last portion of our time with Lewis Bunn or "Lewie" .  Lewis is an Englishman, living in Australia and he's been working his body to the bone to give his kids and wife, a better life. In this second half of his show, we hear about the really cool family Lewie has; They are all wicked talented! 
Lewis was in construction but wanted to pursue a better life for his family. By giving into his heart, moving across the world and seeking a life as a tattoo artist, Lewis is really a great example to all those out there who are struggling to tattoo as a career. He has three kids, a wife, and the regulations of Australia, to balance, along with his passion for art. He's really showing how much a man can do if he simply is willing to hustle. 
Pardon the conversational style of this podcast, but Lewis has been a friend to this show since 2019; We kinda just caught up, in this show. We hope it's fun for everyone to listen to. 
Lewis Bunn works at Sageleaf Gallery of the Sunshine Coast, Australia. Make sure to keep your eye out on him as he hopes to make it to the States in the future.

Ep. 233 "A Better Life" (Diary Entry 1:2 with Lewis Bunn)

Lewis Bunn or "Lewie" , has been apart of this podcast, on the back channels, since the beginning. In the background of this podcast's growth, Lewis was trying to get into tattooing. He's an Englishman, living in Australia and he's been working his body to the bone to give his kids and wife, a better life. 
Lewis had a trade but wanted to pursue a passion in the arts. Tattooing is this for many out there and since 2019, Lewis has been keeping in touch with this podcast; Trying to make friends and get into a field that isn't easy... Especially with a family to support. 
Pardon the conversational style of this podcast, but I am just so excited to finally have Lewis on the show. We don't talk often so this was, in many ways, a personal catch-up that is shared with all of you. 
Introducing Lewis Bunn of Sageleaf Gallery of the Sunshine Coast, Australia. 
Thank you Lewis and thank you Diary Listeners. God bless!

Ep. 232 "Touching Base" (A personal Diary Entry)

I had a movie day with family today (hence my late podcast release) and this is one of two movies that I've seen lately. For a person who typically doesn't find too much reason to go to the movies, I'm rather struck by the saturation of movie-going; I'll give my take on one of the movies that I've already seen as well as let you all in on why I went (today) to see the other one. Now I feel like I need a whole other podcast recording, just for my movie reviews.
I chat about post-marital-bliss and announce (terribly) the line up of what's ahead as far as interviews. Sorry Lewis (if you listen, you'll know why I apologize)!
God bless you Listeners! I'm so blessed in each of you. I'm overwhelmed with gratitude and just hope this personal Diary Entry, can be enough to consider (perhaps inspire), for this week. That's all I ask.

Ep. 231 "Better than Sharpie" (Diary Entry 2:2 with Jordan Kiser)

Alright... We're back with the second half of our time with the lovely PMU artist, Jordan Kiser, of Magic Mirror Tattoo and Piercings ( in Millersville, MD). In this next part, Jordan shares some specific success stories and how deeply in-love with permanent makeup, she is.
This time was all a wonderful blessing and Jordan was gracious enough to forgive me, when I stood her up (with my birthday celebrations) and had to reschedule. I'm so glad she's determined and forgiving, as we really got a great 2 part Diary Entry, from her and her family.
Bless you Jordan and as always, thank you Diary Listeners!

Ep. 230 "Family Support" (Diary Entry 1:2 with Jordan Kiser)

Jordan Kiser is a wonderful PMU (Permanent Makeup) artist at Magic Mirror Tattoos and Piercing, in Millersville, MD. She was awarded "Best PMU tattoo artist of 2022" and keeps aiming up. This is only Part 1 of our time with Jordan... We had a storm naturally, split our time up. I do believe it was divine.
What you'll see in this 1st piece, is that Jordan has been quite encouraged to tattoo; She'd have to have been pushed to leave a dream job where she got to swim with dogs for a living.
Thank you Jordan! Bless you for not giving up on this show when we stood you up the first time (complete mistake). We are so grateful to meet you and get to shout out your experience to this point. We're also so happy to have met some of your family.
God bless you Jordan and all our Diary Listeners!

Ep. 229 "Beyond Me" (Your Host is getting married!)

I'm already so critical of so much but the most important thing to note about this episode is that Rico and I are getting married this upcoming Sunday.
I just wanted to share all that I've been thinking and feeling with you listeners, as Rico and I get closer and closer, to the big day.
Next week, I'll no longer be Amy Nicholls but Amy Illiano. It'll probably be the only way anyone would ever confuse me with being Italian.
God bless you Listeners. Your love and support of this podcast has meant the world to both of us. We are so very grateful for all of you.
