Colby Martin: Artist + Interior Designer / Planet Marfa Bar & Grill Owner / Aquarian Sister

@planetmarfaplanetmarfa.comThe scene:We are in Marfa, Texas sitting at one of the many tables in the gorgeous outdoor enclosed patio of Planet Marfa. It’s like a secret desert oasis that all the most interesting locals know about. The bar in the center of the patio resembles a treehouse. There’s also a teepee (that is a cave below ground)…and a school bus…and a dance floor…with a jungle gym! Wow. Join us inside this patio wonderland for a very sisterly, aquarian sharing of the life journey.Highlights:+ Planet Marfa is the first bar/restaurant she has owned+ Buying a place to keep it the same - Project: Save Planet Marfa+ “I don’t know anything about that but I’ll figure it out”+ Working the Marfa radio station during the pandemic+ Originally from Houston+ Being a new business owner in a tight-knit town+ Aquarians…+ Falling in love with Marfa+ Your slow-down place becoming your social place+ Loving your staff and your regulars+ Learning tenacity+ Life events reflecting your strengths back to you+ Empowering others instead of bossing+ Learning to rely on others+ Having a business that is visited by every kind of person+ Enjoying watching people enjoy themselves+ Coping mechanism: being needed+ Knowing when to drop our childhood survival skills+ Being confident and not giving a shit+ Making music video covers in middle school+ Loving yourself - being your own best friend+ Being open to but not looking for a partner+ Learning to take care of ourselves+ Wanting to be a whore but behaving like an asexual+ Flipping the script on crushes and seeing yourself in them+ Falling in love with ourselves through the reflection we see in others+ Nurturing our relationship with ourselves+ Start where you are - and just smile at othersA taste:“I used to come out here and it was quiet and I was peaceful and I’d spend a lot of time at my house…it’s where I would slow down and forget about my regular life.  So it’s a little strange now this is the place where I’m very busy…it’s kind of flipped, now Houston’s where I go to slow down.”Mantra:“I am here now.”Support the showThank you for listening!  Please subscribe to support this project.Love, Sagewolf xoxo
