GUEST BIO:

Creativity is diverse and spans beyond the conventional labels we place. Every minute of the day we are creating through moments, experiences, and meaningful interactions, but according to Nick, it's the awareness of this creative journey and its infinite wellness that nourishes us the most. In other words, being here now, experiencing the magnitude and awe of our creative expressions, no matter how big or small. It's through creativity that we unlock our true potential and live to the fullest, most authentic versions of our selves. In a world saturated by fear, lack of time, and confusion, Nick offers a rare type of soothing clarity through daily creative protocols, esoteric musings, and self-expression practices, superbly delivered through the lens of art, photography, design and coherent spiritual narrative.

Passionate about connecting people and actively building community, Nick hosts a popular podcast where he interviews personalities that offer 'intel and inspo' through provocative and disruptive ideas that enhance our creative flow and upgrade our daily lives. From Jim Kwik, on becoming limitless, to Mark Manson on how to prioritize which f*cks to give, Nick's carefully curated lineup of creative A-listers is the source of mental, physical and spiritual exploration for listeners and viewers worldwide.
