Mike Brainard: Writer, Producer, & Actor - Epi. 277, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Wow, I had a great time with this podcast, Mike Brainard. He is a writer, an actor, a podcast producer, and a woodworker, just to say a few of the things that he's accomplished in his life. He does a podcast called The Ernie Pyle Experiment!, which is a 13-episode podcast that actually came in second, I believe, for an Audie Award, which is like the top award that you can get in audio-based production. I've listened to a portion of it, and I highly encourage you to listen to it. You can get that on any podcast platform. There's a really deep kind of discussion about what your life can become and things that happened in your life.  For Mike, one of the things was that he was very famous when he was younger as an actor on soap operas. He was an actor for All My Children and Santa Barbara. So it was fascinating to hear that trajectory. People often think, Oh, I want to be famous. Well, you know, fame is a double-edged sword.I think it was a very deep, interesting conversation and the kind of conversation that I enjoy and one of the reasons I do this podcast is to learn and to see the human condition in all forms of creativity, which he has lots of. So I hope everybody enjoys it as much as I do. He really was interesting. Mike Brainard on Art Dealer Diaries Podcast Episode 277.Listen to the Ernie Pyle Experiment!
