In this classic episode, I talk with the LaGreca brothers, Charlie and Jeff, about creating Denver's indie comic convention, DINK, which returns on April 14-15th. They share how they created the convention, how artists can make sure they get picked for tables and panels, and all kinds of insider industry stories!

Some thoughts on not allowing heartbreak to rob you of having an open heart.

Plus, stories of extreme wardrobe malfunctions, high school suspensions, and how crying fits work with sewing. This episode was originally posted on 5/4/17.

In our Valentine's Day episode, I speak with two creative couples:  Chaz and Carolyn Kemp  & "Oi" Bob Parks and Cachet Whitman.

Have a wonderful Valentine's Day, whether you're loving yourself or someone else!
