Interviews with Lissa Boles of truecallings.net


The following interviews were recorded with Lissa Boles, who with her husband Randy, provides coaching and workshops on actually living your dream. Lissa was impressed with my interview with Chris Guillebeau at The Art of Non-Conformity blog and the post It's only life or death. It's always only life or death. She emailed to ask if I'd be interested in doing an interview for her podcast about turning disaster into opportunity.

We were both so happy with the way the call went that we've agreed to do a series of talks based on related ideas that came up in the first call. Lissa asks really great questions, which makes it easy to share some of the ideas and lessons I've come up with over the years.

The fun thing about the calls is that there are a lot of stories that come up by way of example that I would probably never blog about… I'm hoping to use the transcripts from the talks as the rough draft of a book in the future.

About John

John T. Unger If my job as an artist is to fill the world with "more things," I feel it is equally important that I reclaim materials from the waste stream to make space for my work. — John T. Unger

I believe creative re-use has the potential to spark new ways of looking at the world… if one thing can be turned into another, what else can we change? Successful recycled art encourages creativity in others— it's alchemical, magical, subversive, and transformative by nature. Read On
