Martin Hawk joins the podcast to discuss his career shift from full-time musician to filmmaker, having spent the last year documenting the fight for human rights in Rochester, NY. His first short documentary "A Litany for Survival" premiered at the Portland Film Festival and was picked up by NBC Universal for streaming on their Xfinity on Demand platform. Hawk's feature length documentary, "Pressure Gradient," is currently in production, and explores the shades between love, rage, and rebellion as a black person surviving in Rochester, NY. We cover this and other topics related to work, identity, and art as they manifest internally and as they impact our communities.

Emily Bourque is on the pod to talk about being a phlebotomist, a local Radio DJ, an artist, a naturalist, a service industry pro, and a nun-spoon-feeder. She shares her thoughts on quitting, questioning our current collective work/life balance (or lack thereof), and the importance of connecting with the natural world.  

Dana is joined by Tony Obert, 47-year-old father, husband, and self-improvement enthusiast from Weymouth, MA.
