In this episode, Jude joins me for a fabulous chat about arts as an outlet for expression; the importance of documenting ideas and embracing creativity whenever it strikes; and the challenges and wisdom of being an independent artist. We also banter about our favourite musical movies; the physiological benefits of music and arts; and how in a world of division, we need the arts to heal, to feel okay, and to bring people together.
