Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Lady Pink.  Pink is known for a lot of things: she was an accomplished graffiti artist, she’s potentially a hip-hop icon as the lead in the defining movie Wild Style, BUT those are all just origin stories; she defines herself as an artist.  I quickly realized that she is a person that knows their purpose and power, so I had better not mess around, but I also learned that she adores kids and gives a LOT of herself and a lot of her time to growing and nurturing them.  I love that dichotomy; she’s my kind of people.  I hope you enjoy this conversation with Pink.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Molly Balloons.  Imagine if you will, a 9 foot woman coming at you in the biggest balloon dress you’ve ever seen, but also wearing a 10 foot balloon crown, and sporting the biggest smile you’ve ever seen…that’s how some very lucky folks get to meet Molly for the first time!  She exudes an energy that makes me remember how anything is possible.  She says that 19 year olds remember things we’ve forgotten, but Molly hasn’t forgotten, and she’s here to remind you.  I hope you enjoy this frantically random chat with Molly.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Spencer Crittenden.  Spencer is kind of a big deal; you might recognize him from: the Harmontown podcast where he DM’d, the show Great Minds from the History Channel, Harmonquest where he DM’d, or from his guest spot on Community as Annie’s brother.  He’s also a very polished, fight me, podcaster on the That Happens podcast.  He’s also a deep thinker who strives to precisely articulate his emotions to others; he’s actually got a mastery I’ll probably never obtain. Real quick, pause this and go to patreon.com/thesixler and become part of his community, support your favorite creators, and then enjoy this chat with Spencer.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Morten Wulff.  He’s playing through life on his bike trying to find his true identity…but truely I think that identity is chef.  He’s built and refined his bike that is also a kitchen for 20 years.  He takes guests on bike tours of Copenhagen, but it’s not just a tour of the city, it’s also a tour of culinary delights as he cooks and serves 5 courses over 4.5 hours.   I can only imagine what it would be like to share the cooking experience with someone who so obviously loves sharing his gift.  I hope you enjoy this conversation with Morten.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Taylor Bikowski.  They are, and I quote: “a celestial starchild, learning from past lives, and changing the world with love and light.”  What I really see when I look at Taylor is what pure energy would look like in human form.  They are a self described neurodivergent who is putting in alllll of the work, and experimenting with some really interesting therapies.  I think the line that is going to stick with me was “my trauma was your Tuesday…”  woof.  At any rate, I hope you enjoy this enlightening conversation with Taylor.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Saskia Wilson-Brown.  Saskia has been in and around TV production for some time, even being part of the Silver Lake Film Festival in LA.  She’s also a great podcaster, and BTW has founded and runs the Institute of Art and Olfaction.  More than that she’s a driven artist that tears walls down so that people can connect with each other and connect with arts of all kinds no matter who wants to keep the secrets locked away.  She’s kind of a badass.  At any rate, I hope you enjoy this conversation with Saskia.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Anna Ream.  She came with an impressive list of “who she is”, but the highlights are: practicing artist, photographer, mother, wife, purchaser of things, and person of faith.  We discuss how photography is a super power that opens avenues through which Anna is able to examine herself, her life, and her feelings.  At the end of all of it she has a tangible object that can then help others along their path.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Anna.

Hey everybody, I’m Greg Sowell and this is Why Am I, a podcast where I talk to interesting people and try to trace a path to where they find themselves today.  My guest this go around is Tanya Candler.  Tanya has lived a lot of lives: she was in the metal band Kitty in the 90s, was a dental technician for a little while, does voice acting and coaching, is an awesome podcaster, and a proud mama!  She pulls zero punches, takes zero ducks, always speaks her mind, but she’s very thoughtful, kind, and nurturing while she does it…quite an interesting set of traits.  I hope you enjoy this chat with Tanya.
