Renee Orlando knew she wanted to be a tattoo artist since she was five years old. Watching the artists at her neighbour's studio, she says it felt magical.

Getting into the industry wasn't easy. It's male dominated, it's gate kept and there's no clear path in. You network, you show up with a portfolio, you hope someone gives you a shot.

We talked about the rite of passage most people don't think about: tattooing yourself before you tattoo anyone else. Understanding what the client feels in that chair changes how you work.

My favourite part of the conversation was when Renee said people come to her in their most vulnerable states. That's not just a tattoo appointment, that's trust.

If you have ever considered a tattoo or are planning your next piece, then this conversation is for you!

For Sandee Facy, it started with a decision to stop performing other people's songs and start sharing her own stories.

In this episode, Sandee talks about the personal experiences that shaped her debut album Chasing Clarity, including the moment she knew she had something worth saying. We get into the art of storytelling through music, writing songs that tackle real issues and why people who claim they don't like country music can't stop listening to hers.

An honest conversation about finding your voice, embracing your journey, and what it really means to make it as an independent artist.
