The Apprenticeship Diaries

Ep. 159 ”Walkin’ on the Moon” (1:3 Diary Entry with Anthony Red’d’)

This is a great way to move into spring and new beginnings; As sad as the reason was for Anthony Redd and Amy to reconnect, it's wonderful that this can offer the opportunity to share and shout out the amazing talent that Anthony has been honing for quite some time. 
This 3 part Entry, explores a very raw talent that has gotten very refined (and not by taking the roads that most traveled by). 
Hear about how Amy knows Anthony and how wonderful life can be if we try to take the perspective of being a perpetual student, always looking at pitfalls as a way to grow. 
Thank you so much Anthony. This was so wonderful and we know that it will benefit everyone greatly.

Ep. 156 ”Creating Through Adversity” (1:2 Diary Entry with Carol LeBaron)

It's simply been too long since we got to hear from this beautiful and talented woman. Moreover, we recorded this Diary Entry in January of last year (2022). At the time of this recording, Carol LeBaron (our good friend and master textile artist), had just lost her mother. 
In this 2 part podcast with Carol, we get the very intimate, insights, surrounding the death of a parent. Our hopes are that with Carol's story, we can move forward into the spring (in the short term) and better celebrate our parents with Mother's Day and Father's Day; In the long term, our hopes are that this podcast will help inform a beautiful attitude when in the face of the inevitable. 
Thank you sweet Carol. We can't love you enough.

Ep 154. ”Turtle” (3:3 Diary Entry with John Greaney)

So cool that we got to start this journey with John Greaney on his birthday and now, on the eve of Valentine's Day, we get to wrap with love. 
John, you're a very cool guy and the love this show has for you is immense. It doesn't matter the mode of experience, you are consistently awesome despite the distance and the need for Zoom. 
Follow John wherever you can and if in Edinburgh, Scotland, check out Relatively Painless Tattoo for your tattoo and piercing needs... We can vouch  for the owner. ;)

Ep 152. ”Name Day” (1:3 Diary Entry with John Greaney)

Happy Birthday John Greaney (Sounds like Grainy)!!! John owns and operates Relatively Painless Tattoo in the UK (Scotland). Listen to discover all the 'names' and learn more about our good friend John. 
Amy has never met John in real life, but even via the computer and all the crap we have to navigate in this tech world, Amy and John were able to make a connection and become friends. It's amazing what happens when we risk, take a chance and lead with love. 
Thank you John and enjoy all that you've created my friend. The world is better because of you and this podcast is honored to celebrate you with this Diary Entry (1:3).

Ep 151. ”Onward and Up” (Part 3 of our Interview with DJ Chuck Nunn)

As we start 2023, we will be moving ahead without Chuck Nunn as our audio guy; We're all moving on and up. It's time to ask these baby birds to fly the nest to new, thrilling, higher, feats. As Chuck would say and did say, "find what you can't not."... and then go after that. 
Thank you so much Chuck! You're a forever friend and I'm eternally grateful for all that you've given me. Jen's really amazing too and both Rico and I are blessed by your friendship.

Ep 150. ”There’s an Energy” (Part 2 of our Interview with DJ Chuck Nunn)

Well, there was a lot of things that we could have called Part 2 with Chuck Nunn, but overall, this episode really explores nuance and specifics to the job of either Performance, Learning, DJing or Tattooing, that may or may not, be so evident. 
Chuck shares all that led him to being a DJ and we hear together, how Chuck came to working on The Apprenticeship Diaries. Lots of respect goes to Chuck in this episode as he discusses the hard knocks to getting to where he is today.
Again, endless thanks to our Nunn Chuck. Just like the bassist in a band, we really need him. Love you Chuck!
