This episode I'm unpacking and repacking ideas on professional creativity and the fear of death that drives it with George O'Connor and we delve into merc vs human sales tactics, idea development, and collaborative practices.

George likes to write. A lot. Through Homeless Comics, he’s released the series VAMPIRES ON MARS, CHARLIE’S SPOT, SILENT KNIGHT, HEALED, BABY, GREAT ZOMBIES IN HISTORY, and TODDLER-POCALYPSE. And when he's not at his keyboard, he's on stage with his metal back, Swarm of Eyes.
