The Apprenticeship Diaries

Ep. 206 "Hope" (A personal entry from your host)

Bridges are collapsing and your host is feeling the feels. Something that wasn't mentioned within this Entry was that I've been trying my hand at some decorative sewing and within trying to do this embroidered, bathroom sign, I kept messing up on the word "Hope".
It's been a week (to say the least) for your host and this is truly a venting session. The "hope" is that it has bigger impact than this moment in time, but, at the very least, something was said, made, posted and released... So there's that!
Love you Listeners and God bless you in all that you do. You got this!

Ep. 205 "Some Patience" (A rare movie review from your host)

Not only are you going to get the "skinny" on Cabrini today (A fabulous film produced by Angel Studios) but also getting to hear a bit of my terrible singing voice as I attempt a bit of a Alanis Morrissette, classic. I'm dealing with the beautiful buds physically, as my allergies are raging. It's a little Diary Entry, that hopefully will have you go see a great film and take some Claritin.
Happy Spring Diary Listeners!

Ep. 204 "Ticks, Birds & A.I." (2:2 Diary Entry with Gabe Ripley)

There's a wonderful parable in this Diary Entry, about boundaries and it really helped influence me a lot. My hope is that it will give each of you Listeners, food for thought as you soak up the wisdom of the wonderful, Gabe Ripley of Tattoo Now. (In connection with Reinventing the Tattoo and Fireside Tattoo).
Have a beautiful week Listeners and to all who read these show notes, I wanted to tell you about the best movie I've ever seen (Cabrini . You might not have to pay to see it as Angel Studios has a Pay-it-Forward program). Go... watch it! It WILL give renewed hope.
Thank you so much Gabe. You are one of the good ones my friend! You are an inspiration as well. :)

Ep. 203 "What Can be Given Can be Taken Away" (Diary Entry 1:2 with Gabe Ripley)

I'm so thrilled to bring the man behind so much, to our Listeners: Gabe Ripley of Tattooed Now and truly, an icon in the tattoo industry.
Gabe is behind a lot of the growth that has happened in the world of  tattooing, over the last few decades. His work, behind the scenes, in the tech world, has meant worlds to us artists. Tattoo Now is a leading forum that when I was a wee apprentice, was where we all went to grow as tattoo professionals. 
With the help of Gabe, many artists have risen to baller status over the years. No matter what anyone can say about him, one thing is for sure... He cannot be removed from the history of the industry as we all know it.  
Gabe, my friend... Thank you sir! You always make me smile and I'm so bless in your friendship. I thank God for having met you, but no matter the force that brought us into each other's lives, there's gratitude and mad respect!
Thank you Listeners and have a powerful week!

Ep. 202 "Permitted" (A personal Diary Entry from your host)

This is a personal entry where I, Amy Nicholls, talk about my time with GRAB firearms, Guntry, handguns, tattoo licenses, different states, barriers to entry... It's thick and circuitous, but it all wraps up in a nice way so that we all know by the end that permission doesn't really have much to do with proficiency.
Please email me if you'd like to learn more. :)
As always, thank you for your listening time; God bless and great week!

Ep. 201 "Compounding Interest" (Diary Entry 2:2 with Bailey Jene Moran)

Since, in the beginning of Bailey Jene Moran's life, she took the stable job route and worked at a bank, this two part, Diary Entry, is teaming with banking references. ;) It's also so illustrative of all the risks someone has to take to cash-in on investments.
We can't wait to watch this budding talent as she navigates her apprenticeship years; See what kind of "returns" she'll get for pursuing her passion? ;) Frankly, we have full confidence in her.
Like her parents, we see greatness in Bailey. Make sure to follow her as she grows!
Thank you Bailey! Thank you to your family, loving husband for always being a support system (She does need all of you and it does matter that she has you all). This show is honored to have met you in Paradise.
God bless and as always, we are so grateful to our Listeners!

Ep. 200 "Investment Banking" (Diary Entry 1:2 with Bailey Jene Moran)

Wow!!! Our 200th Diary Entry! Such a cool thing and it was so great to mark this moment with our time recording Bailey Jene Moran of Karma Body Modifications, in Tulsa, OK.
Bailey is just starting her journey into tattooing, but because she struck us as someone who knows how to invest well, in the beginning, we decided to have her on the show.
Thank you so much Bailey (Rick too, as her mentor). You're already making moves that will pay in dividends, later.
God bless you Listeners!

Ep. 197 "Risk" (Diary Entry 1:2 with Jess & Kevin Farrand)

This was an instant joy as both Jess and Kevin Farrand, come with bright smiles and so much hope for wonderful things in this world. 
This is a couple who have "risked" much to pursue all passions. It's a powerful story and so far, it's produced glorious happenings. 
Our hope is that this gives Listeners a boldness of spirit; We can only ask outside of ourselves so much until we just have to risk high and obey the inner truth.
Thank you for this gift Jess and Kevin. You both give me sooooooo much hope and I look forward to keeping in touch as we all grow and risk, in the future ahead.
