A Quest For Quiet with Artist Jamele Wright, Sr

2026-10-2201:00:36

The first brushstroke can be the scariest moment in the whole studio. Sitting with Jamele Wright, Sr in Atlanta (@artthenewreligion), we talk about that pause right before you commit to the surface the fear of ruining it, the excitement of stepping into unknown territory, and why the next mark can feel like the farthest you’ve ever been from home. From there we get deep into abstract art and contemporary painting: why abstraction can hold multiple conversations at once, why it asks mor...

The Wonderful Mistake. Where Do You End and the World Begins?

2026-09-2230:46

Grief has a way of erasing your map. One day you’re moving with confidence, and the next you’re standing in front of your work thinking, is this the first time I’ve ever done this? I’m recording solo while Nathan’s away, partly because I need to hang out, and partly because the last few weeks have been heavy with loss. When your mind goes quiet and your body goes numb, the usual creative routines don’t always work, so I lean into the simplest thing I can do: tell the truth, read, write, and k...

The Long Game: Georg Baselitz and Rafael Nadal: Kind of Part 2

2026-09-0347:15

A 15-foot painting stops Ty cold, and it kicks off a conversation that keeps getting bigger: what does it look like to keep making serious work when you’re old, tired, and no longer trying to prove anything to anyone? After a London walk from a heavy Tracy Emin experience to Georg Baselitz at White Cube, we can’t shake the feeling that we just saw a masterclass in artistic longevity. We connect that late-career power to the Raphael Nadal Netflix documentary and the brutal reality of sport: y...

The Long Game: Rafael Nadal and Georg Baselitz: Kind of Part 1

2026-08-1301:00:26

Ty Nathan Clark and Nathan Terborg are back! A career that ends because your body says “no” forces a kind of honesty most of us try to avoid. That’s why the Rafael Nadal Netflix documentary hit us so hard and why we couldn’t stop talking about it as artists. We trace Nadal’s mindset back to the studio: the way victory fades fast, the way difficulty becomes the real teacher, and the way motivation can turn dangerous when it turns into obsession. We also dig into the difference between a...

Breathwork And Nervous System Resets with Michael Gazzo

2026-07-2301:20:40

The fastest way to kill creative flow is to turn art into an identity you have to defend. Nathan sits down with special guest host Michael Gazzo (@Michaelvgazzo), a coach, rebirth breathwork facilitator, master NLP practitioner, and platinum-selling music producer, to talk about what happens when external success still leaves you empty and what it takes to create from a more honest place. We trace Michael’s path from childhood music obsession to major-label moments, touring, and high-pressur...
