Ep. 217 "What We Leave Behind" (Your host confronts death and it's impact)

This Entry confronts an inevitability of life... Death.
There have been a few big deaths for the tattoo industry, along with your host personally and these recent events have spawned this week's reflection; How to confront death and what is so incredible when we seek to serve others. This podcast explores the special place we servants hold in the lives of our clients; How vital it is to be aware of what we do and why we do it.
At the end of this Entry, there's some exciting news that involves tattoo education and the foundation of a legacy. Please listen to learn and make sure to catch tomorrow's Fireside podcast (hosted by Jake Meeks). Moreover, go ahead and follow Tattoo Career Builders as you'll want to be on the ground floor of what Derek Youngberg is constructing. It's all very exciting and connected to TattooNow, Reinventing the Tattoo and the wonderful Paradise Tattoo Gathering. 
Bless you Listeners and have a powerful week!

Ep. 216 "I Am a Conservative" (A personal confession by your Host)

I'm coming out and elaborating in this week's Diary Entry. There's a few confessions and attempts to outline my concepts of things.
This is a further submission to this podcast expressing a want to be as transparent as I can be with Listeners; A willingness to be seen.
Check it out and remember: If you're not having a good time listening, no one is holding you hostage. If it hurts you, know that I want everyone to do what feels best with the precious time we have. I love you all regardless if you agree with me.
God Bless and great week Listeners!

Ep. 215 "Plague Survivor" (Your host is back!)

This is a personal entry that really celebrates the return to health and well-being.
As most who listen know, your host was suffering burnout and then, as if it could be bet on, fell ill last week. We don't know what this mysterious plague was but it leveled your host enough that all work had to cease for the most part and no show could be recorded.
Now, there is a renewal of self and a want to rebrand (cause we can never stop!).
Listen in to hear the almost 100%, well, voice of @anichollstattoos and what's ahead for this show.

Ep. 214 "How Far Can I Push?" (Diary Entry 2:2 with Kyle Devaney (Ghost))

 Kyle Devaney's (Kyle Ghost) is a very tenacious human who keeps high aims for himself and we (I) think it's best if all who listen to this podcast, know the expectations. If you want to work with Kyle at his new studio (Ghost Gallery Tattoo Company) , expect a serious place that will push you. Especially expect as much if you're wanting an apprenticeship from Kyle. As you'll hear, even those closest to Kyle, don't get off lightly. 
Thank you so much for this time Kyle. You're a Dad and now a shop owner; I know how hard free time is to come by and I'm so very grateful for this donation to the show.
Thank you always Listeners. Your time in participating in this podcast is always a gift. Bless you and have a powerful week!

Ep. 213 "The Knowledge Hunter" (Diary Entry 1:2 with Kyle Devaney (Ghost))

I only kid because I love you man! Had to do an Aussie spin-off with the name of this first piece of Kyle Devaney's (Kyle Ghost) Diary Entry.
Kyle has been in the business for 7 years and pretty much had to frog-hop to one situation to another, in order to be the artist he is today (very talented btw!); He's landed in his own studio (Ghost Gallery Tattoo Company) and I thought this would be a great time to reflect on all that's been learned.
Thank you so much for this time Kyle. You're a Dad and now a shop owner; I know how hard free time is to come by and I'm so very grateful.
Thank you always Listeners. Your time in participating in this podcast is always a gift. Bless you!

Ep. 212 "When it Rains it Pours" (A Raw Entry)

A few days late and perhaps a dollar short? Not sure of much right now as I ( your host ) have been super swamped and am completely late with this Diary Entry.
This is just a check in and a chance to share some cool audio I got of a storm in Oklahoma. Moreover, I kinda announce that I'm getting married? It is an announcement but because I tell it as I do, I really can't account for how unofficial it comes off. LOL!
Happy late Cinco de Mayo and officially, Happy 38th birthday to my man, Rico Illiano. Make sure to follow his rifle page below as a birthday gift. You can find the link below. Also, buy blueberry bushes... Listen to see why!
As always, much love for all the Diary Listener's out there. Thank you for being a reason to get out of bed, along with my hungry cats.

Ep. 211 "OK Roadtrip" (All about your Host's time in Oklahoma)

I had a blast on my roadtrip and wanted to share some of the highlights of my time in Oklahoma City with Gold Fang Gallery as well as my time in Tulsa with Karma Body Modifications. 
It was a wonderful guest visit at both studios but so much more happened along the way. 
If you're in an industry that can travel, do it! It's very good for both the soul and progressing as a professional (networking). It can be done on a budget and in terms of vacations, I find it's best to combine work and play.
As much as there's much to get back to, now that I'm home, I didn't have to stop life so much that I'm out lots of money and catching up with a life that I would have had to put on pause; All continued and on top of that, I got quality time with my Dad. 
God bless you Diary Listeners and biggest thanks to all the souls that made the time in Oklahoma, special. Praise God for this amazing life!

Ep. 210 "Legos" (2:2 Diary Entry with JD Brosius)

Legos!!!! At first I thought that JD Brosius  (of Rapture Tattoo Emporium in PA) said, "Let go!"... but no... He said, "Legos". In truth, whether I heard one or the other, the bliss one gets is the same if Legos are bought or if one just decides to "Let go". LOL! Listen in and see what JD does with this wonderful medium.
JD is someone that your host is going to make some more time for because, like your host, he and his wife (Chandra), are professional nerds who love to do art nights and share those times with the internet. We must become legion!
This is just Part 2 of JD's Diary Entry... 
You can find JD and Chandra here: YouTube, IG

Thank you so very much JD (and Chandra for letting me steal him away for a bit).

Ep. 209 "An 80's Kid" (Diary Entry 1:2 with JD Brosius)

I really loved this time with JD Brosius of Rapture Tattoo Emporium (PA). Every time I record with someone, I learn so much about all the people that surround me and how very vast they are; I also lament how limited I I am in that I don't have infinite time here, on Earth, to play with them.
JD is someone that your host is going to make some more time for because, like your host, he and his wife, are professional nerds who love to do art nights and share those times with the internet. We must become legion!
This is just Part 1... Be sure to come back for Part 2 next week. 
You can find JD and Chandra (the wifey) here: YouTube, IG
Here's the Realm of Collectors IG
Thank you so very much JD (and Chandra for letting me steal him away for myself for a bit).
Bless you Diary Listeners! On IG, I noticed 1,000 followers for the first time in TAD history!!! So that's exciting and I'm so very grateful for your time and attention to this show. God bless you all!
