INNER AVENUE

INNER AVENUE is a local podcast getting under the skin of creativity and career paths. Why? Because there's not enough real stories from real people in real creative career paths—particularly the ones we've never heard of. This podcast is an effort to cultivate community and a sense of belonging, but also to give people young and old(er) the tools to make informed decisions. It's not about perfection, it's about collaboration and seeing the art in living an authentic life. Our guests aren't professional speakers, and each episode is a step toward a bigger goal than numbers. Join us 🧡
