In the 12th episode of Season five, we are joined by the wonderful artist and our good friend Ayla El-Moussa. Ayla is known for her surreal art that combines photography and painting while focusing on the human form, nature, balance and subconscious.

We dive into Ayla’s artistic influences, the power of dreams and the subconscious, her love of all things books and movies, the little book of sex questions, and so much more.

We're excited to announce that the rest of Season Five is now powered by Towns! Built on Base and running on River, Towns is a decentralized and permissionless group chat app that allows anyone to create & own digital town squares on their own rules. Available on web and iOS with full end-to-end encryption, users can join or create feature-rich Towns with native on-chain gating, paid memberships and more with tons of exciting features & rewards coming soon. 

We'll also be doing a little collabing with our friends at SHILLR in a joint Town for our communities so make sure to tap in to get access to some Towns exclusive giveaways, rewards and more. Head to https://www.towns.com/ for more.
