Season 2 · Episode 22

Monday, February 3, 2025 • Duration 40:27

After some time away, we're back with a new episode of The Code of The West podcast. I’m sharing a personal reflection on this journey—how the Code of The West came to be, the release of the manual, and what lies ahead. It’s been a road filled with lessons, resilience, and growth.

In this episode, I also introduce something I’ve been thinking a lot about: journaling as a tool for clarity and purpose. It’s not just about putting words on paper; it’s about finding yourself in the process.

I’ll catch you up on future collaborations, art projects, and why this work matters more than ever. Let’s keep moving forward together. Thanks for being here.

Nicholas Coleman is a second generation Western artist. He and I have known each other through Instagram over the years but we finally sat down and chatted recently. It shouldn't have come as a surprise to me, but it turns out that we share a lot of common ground.

The mission with his work is to, " preserve the fading heritage of the American West," so it's not a big leap to see why the two of us get along so well.

His work, exhibitions and background are awe inspiring and it's best if you take the time to deep dive yourself at his website below.

I had a fantastic time talking with, Nicholas and I think you'll enjoy it as well. We cover our respective feelings about The West, and the importance of storytelling in the modern world among a wide range of other topics
