There are a lot of reasons to start a podcast, but for some folks (the Wordslinger included) it's about learning from people who have done what we want to do, or have found success in their life that we would find important. It's also about sharing what you learn with as many people as possible, to make a difference in the lives of others. That's the kind of thinking that led Brendan Hufford to start the Entrepreneurs and Coffee Podcast, and to do the work he's doing in building a business that can support his family and his passions. This interview is a fantastic start for anyone looking to begin their own journey of entrepreneurship. And to have a good cup of java.

Some of us want to be entrepreneurs, striking out into the wilderness with our own business, making our own rules (and mistakes) as we go. Some of us just want to find work that makes us feel fulfilled and happy about what we do every day. Identifying that work can sometimes feel overwhelming, and so we just take whatever comes along, hoping it will work out ok. Grant Baldwin has a different approach—he believes you should find the work you love, and do that. It's a crazy concept that just might work. This week, listen in as Kevin and Grant talk about figuring out your passion, finding work that fits, and getting out of the "work has to be miserable" mindset.

Michael Galbreth and Jack Massing aren’t artists. At least, they don’t quite seem themselves that way. They call themselves artists, and the work they do “art,” mostly because there aren’t many words that fit better. Conceptual marketing? Performance social experimentation? For the most part, these two—the Art Guys—are in the business of pushing buttons in culture to see what happens, and how they can effect it. In this interview (the most edited interview ever for the Wordslinger Podcast), Kevin talks to the Art Guys to figure out what makes them do all those things they do.
