If you've been thinking about trying something new with your own amazing idea, let this conversation be the one to light your fire. _______________________ Steve is busy at work on the third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES.

  • FACES OF REBELLION GONE GOOD - PART 2
    May 21 2025
    Mark Skipper continues the good conversation all about Faces of Rebellion, his artistic mission to lend his voice to the climate crisis at hand. We talk everything from community-building rallies and protests to how he sees himself as an artist in this world to the people who have inspired him to make the change he wants to see. We learned so much speaking with Mark and here's one of the most important parts: every single one of us has something to give and that something we each give uplifts others, makes us all feel a little less alone, and creates the much-needed community we all definitely want so much more of. This is part two of our oh-so-good conversation - be sure to go back one episode to hear the first part before listening (no spoilers!). ______________________________ Steve is busy at work on the third book in his cozy mystery series, THE DOG WALKING DETECTIVES.
