In this episode I take the opportunity to reflect on the year that has been and give some insight into what is coming in 2026. I have dedicated this Episode to my Mother in law, Maree, who unexpectedly passed away very early in the new year. I share a book recommendation and a creative tip, something that resonated with me while travelling. In the second part of this episode I have a little kōrero with Sölvesborg local and creative extraordinaire Arsi Hakala about all things creative, enjoy!
