In this episode, we explore the world of artistic expression with three talented guests: Caleb Cameron, and The Zerbo Brothers; Emanuel & Joseph.
We explore how music serves as a powerful outlet for creativity, providing both joy and a means of self-discovery. Caleb Cameron starts with how an artist is driven by the need to create something new, expressive, and personal, often breaking boundaries and challenging norms. In contrast, an artisan focuses on mastering their craft, honing skills through repetition and refinement, and often working within traditional frameworks. This discussion highlights the diverse paths within the creative world and the value of both innovation and mastery.

Together, Caleb, Emanuel, and Joseph provide a well-rounded exploration of what it means to be a creative in today's world, sharing stories of growth, passion, and the relentless pursuit of artistic fulfilment.
