In this episode, Lisa talks with Erik Løkkesmoe, former VP Outback Presents, in Nashville, TN. They ponder artistic motivations, isolation, common grace, and the Imaginative Visionary Archetype. Erik shares from his years of experience working in the arts and entertainment industry from LA to Nashville."...We think we're bigger than we are. We think we have a greater influence. And it's helpful to know that no one's thinking about us right now. We're not on the minds of 1000s or millions of people...the smallness is helpful in that it gives you a sense of significance in the small things...the daily habits of doing. The things that are small and never seen are truly art and do contribute in great ways...."
