First Footage 3/3: "Origin Story" - how I got into publicity, and why I chose to become an ARTIST

<p>"Shopping-me" is back, but this time, this persona is killing it in the podcast version</p> <p>More on Ewan, just quick... In this episode, he becomes the very first person to ask me a question. I asked him a couple of questions about how he's headed to theatre school at Acadia University (Wolfville, Nova Scotia, Canada). He answered beautifully and with a lot of poise. We then did a role-reversal activity, and it was totally real! He asked me how I got into publicity, and how I first got into the digital arts. What a great question!&nbsp;</p> <p>That's why this episode is called "origin story." It was totally unplanned, but it turned into an excellent opportunity for me to tell my story to my audience at the very start of my new podcast. Thank you Ewan, Jerramy, Marcus and Cole for playing a major role in the development of my audio products. You can check out their new show - coming soon - at communityradio.ca. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>Jerramy and Marcus are headed to University of Kings College (journalism) here in Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada. I worked with a ton of people involved in that program, and I know for certain that it's good stuff. I'll let the piece do the rest of the talking.</p> <p>I also want to thank Oliva and Ryan. They're two more students at CIOE (the voice of east coast music - communityradio.ca) this summer. They help me quite a bit behind the scenes - and, they're mention in this description is well-deserved! &nbsp;</p> <p>A big thank you to Nova Scotia Community College (known around these parts as NSCC). It's an excellent school, and Cole is headed there for Architectural Design. And, a big thank you to Canada Summer Jobs! That's the program that helped the Universe find a way to put me and these students together so we could learn and grow together. Thank you Canada!</p> <p>---</p> <p>An ARTIST can't hesitate to ask for help; especially when they're just starting...</p> <p>If you'd like to help me in the early days of developing my practice as a digital artist - thank you!
