ARTIDEX PODCAST — EPISODE 003 | ARTISTS 6-10

In Episode 003, Noah and I look back on Entries #006–010 of The Artidex.

We talk about each artist individually: how I met them, what first stood out to me, and why I believed in them long before many other people did. We reflect on the work they’re creating today, the careers they’ve built, and the qualities that make them exceptional beyond their talent.

As always, the conversation naturally wanders.

We end up talking about the difference between a career and an identity, why I’m no longer afraid of being “cringe” if it means creating something I believe in or acting authentically and how working in emergency medicine completely changed my perspective on fear, ambition, and what actually matters. Watching people experience the best and worst days of their lives has made one thing incredibly clear to me: life is finite. If there’s something meaningful you want to build, there is no perfect time. You just have to begin.

The Artidex exists to preserve artists at a moment in time. We are honoring not just what they’ve made, but who they were while making it. Every portrait is an entry into a growing physical archive, and every conversation reminds me why I started this project in the first place.

Thanks for following along as this archive continues to grow.
