Johnny shares how he first found his way into art and what keeps him committed to learning and growing as an artist.

• Episode 30: Break-Ups

  In this episode, John and Linnea dive into the often heavy—and at times strangely universal—experience of breakups. With December 11th being the most common day to get broken up with, we wanted to release this episode for anyone who might (unfortunately) need a bit of extra support right now.Breakups are never simple. They touch every part of us: our routines, our self-confidence, our hopes, and sometimes our sense of who we are. In this conversation, we talk about the messy emotions that come with heartbreak, why it can feel so overwhelming, and the very human ways we try to make sense of it all.We also share grounding advice, creative strategies, and gentle reminders to help you move through the toughest moments. Whether you’re grieving the end of a relationship, reflecting on past heartbreak, or simply curious how others navigate the in-between, this episode offers compassion, humour, and a bit of perspective.Breakups are hard—but you don’t have to sit in those heavy feels alone.

• Episode 29: Nico-Sode/ Running

  In this episode we bring on Nico, a longtime friend of John and an ultra-distance runner who casually covers more than 100 kilometres at a time—basically the length of a small road trip. Nico now lives on Vancouver Island, arguably one of the best places in Canada to be a long-distance runner. He and his partner also host a podcast called PEP Talk, where they dive into all things endurance running.Nico shares stories of resilience, the dedication behind his craft, and what it truly takes—physically and mentally—to run distances most of us can’t even imagine. His grit and mindset leave Linnea in awe, while John (in classic John fashion) urges listeners to go for a run… or at least enjoy a nice outdoor walk if that’s more your pace.If you want to learn more about Nico, check out his coaching insta account

He reflects on how the landscape, the people, and the rhythm of coastal life shaped his creative eye.John dives into what makes Antonio’s videos so engaging and inspiring, and Antonio walks us through how he’s honed his craft—learning to capture the best shots, trusting his instincts, and teaching himself to edit with both intention and emotion.Our conversation left us energized, grateful, and ready to pick up our own cameras. Antonio reminded us that filmmaking isn’t only about dramatic moments; it’s also about staying open to everyday beauty, paying attention to the small details that surround us, and letting curiosity guide the lens.
