Michael Garfield is a multi-media artist, musician, podcaster,
futurist, former paleontologist and all around brilliant human. I
have been a huge fan of Michael's work for a while specifically his
ultra-inspiring, mind bending podcast
Future Fossils so I was delighted to have our paths
cross via many mutual friends and of course some delightful
synchronicity.
This conversation occurred literally a full year ago, last
September, a very different time in the world but I think the
topics we touch are as potent as ever. We dove SUPER deep and
given this was our first conversation using voices and eyeballs
there is that familiar vibration that I often talk about occuring,
the "friendship being born" energy.
Since this was a decidedly "co-broadcast" we sort of interview each
other to some degree but the convo is so free flowing I don't think
it even qualifies as an interview for either of us. We talk
about touring vs being at home modes, working in different mediums
& the scorn that can come along with it, tripping indoors vs
outdoors, being in relationship as an obsessive artist type,
Michael's first dance with fatherhood, therapy, the multiplicity of
self, "real job" stable life, synchronicity generators and so much
more.
I hope you dig it.
In related news, Michael and I are presenting a talk together for
