FEEDBACCKK S1EP8: Turn Your Life Into an Offering (with Mayıs Rukel)

What's up Feedbacckk Fam!? Did you miss us? Because we missed you... Happy 2026, by the way! We are back and what better way to ring in the new year than with a whole new episode of Feedbacckk? In this episode, ladies, gentlemen and everybody in between... your favorite idiots are hosting their very first guest! And what a cool first guest to have on the pod... Our first guest ever is none other than Mayıs Rukel. Born in Türkiye and based in Rotterdam, Mayıs is an incredibly talented artist, writer and filmmaker whose creative practice and works have touched many along his journey. In this beautiful conversation, Mayıs blessed us with his wisdom, sharing his experience as an artist, giving us deeply valuable advice on how to let yourself and your work be seen before you're ready, and so much more. We even got to jam together on a song from his debut album "Vast Terrain" (available on Spotify). What a pleasure and honor it was! You should definitely give it a listen. This is a very special episode, which we shot last summer and we've been so excited to share it with you. A huge thank you to Mayıs for coming on the podcast and for sharing such amazing gems with us! As always, thanks for watching/listening. We hope you love this episode as much as we do. 🫶🏽Love ya, Chayne & Kyle FOLLOW MAYIS ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/mayisrukelCHECK HIS SPOTIFY OUT: https://open.spotify.com/artist/5jvzEtAxo9Egt0ZzmKzen9?si=__BdA5K2SYeELGSXQ3lAVgFOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/feedbacckkFOLLOW CHAYNE ON SPOTIFY: https://open.spotify.com/artist/1LU68gNdRPhnBueINyXhm8?si=ISHgFxDBSkeg8olmkc7bVwChapters:00:00 - Choosing the Artist Life (Before It Makes Sense)06:10 - Acting on Instinct & Being “Delusional” Enough to Try12:45 - Putting the Work in the World (Before You’re Ready)19:20 - Rejection, Quiet Work & Stepping Stones26:30 - Creating Your Own Momentum27:20 - "Lay On Me" Special Session32:40 - What It Actually Takes to Keep Going
