Hosted by the dynamic husband-and-wife duo, Mike and Kristen, this show dives deep into the lives of artists, community leaders, and risk-takers who inspire us with their unique journeys and insights.\n\nKristen, who left her six-figure job in politics to be a full-time artist, and Mike, who has nearly 20 years experience as a professional musician, each bring a distinctive outlook to the unfolding of living a creative life. \n\nRecorded in-person at the cozy and intimate Hot Jupiter Sounds in Nova Scotia, each episode offers long-form conversations that are as philosophical as they are hilarious, and as heart-warming as they are thought-provoking. Join us as we explore the essence of identity, the courage of creativity, and the power of community through the stories of those who dare to live life on their own terms.","podcastLogo":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/imglogo/image-logo/11335543/Podcast_Artwork_14007bvp9.jpg","podcastShareLogo":"https://d2bwo9zemjwxh5.cloudfront.net/image-logo/11335543/Podcast_Artwork_14007bvp9_1200x628.jpg?s=2f6bb70ec981711f3c32f2202d68da08&e=jpg","podcastUrl":"https://mikeandkristen.podbean.com","podcastCanSearched":true,"feedUrl":"https://feed.podbean.com/mikeandkristen/feed.xml","theme":"waves","podcastDeepLink":"https://www.podbean.com/pu/pbblog-mfycn-acf777","removePodbeanBranding":"no","brandingLogo":null,"timeZone":{"timeZoneId":17,"gmtAdjustment":"GMT-04:00","useDaylightTime":1,"value":-4,"text":"(GMT-04:00) Atlantic Time (Canada)","daylightStartTime":"Second Sunday Of March +2 Hours","daylightEndTime":"First Sunday Of November +2 Hours","timezone":"America/Halifax"},"podcastDownloads":null,"totalEpisodes":141,"showComments":true,"iOSAppDownloadLink":null,"customizeCssUrl":null,"androidAppDownloadLink":null,"showPostShare":true,"showLike":true,"author":"Mike and Kristen","engagementStatsBaseUrl":null,"shareEmbedLink":"https://admin5.podbean.com/embed.html?id=pbblog-mfycn-acf777-playlist","language":"en","sensitivitySessionExpireTime":88200,"podcastApps":[{"name":"Apple Podcasts","link":"https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mike-and-kristen/id1613542302","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/apple-podcast.png","title":null},{"name":"Podbean App","link":"https://r4j68.app.goo.gl/?link=https%3A%2F%2Fmikeandkristen.podbean.com%3Faction%3DopenPodcast%26podcastId%3Dpbblog11335543%26podcastIdTag%3Dmfycn&dfl=https%3A%2F%2Fmikeandkristen.podbean.com&utm_campaign=pb_web&utm_source=podbean_web&utm_medium=dlink&imv=670&amv=530&isi=973361050&ibi=com.podbean.app.podcast&ipbi=com.podbean.app.podcast&apn=com.podbean.app.podcast","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/podbean-app.png","title":null},{"name":"Spotify","link":"https://open.spotify.com/show/6Cs9Cmz2a8nKOAbeLzZRkc","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/spotify.png","title":null},{"name":"Amazon Music","link":"https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/9bb67cb4-740c-46aa-95af-c9c30818a1fb","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/AmazonMusic.png","title":null},{"name":"TuneIn + Alexa","link":"https://tunein.com/podcasts/Arts--Culture-Podcasts/Mike-and-Kristen-p1642744/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/tunein.png","title":null},{"name":"iHeartRadio","link":"https://iheart.com/podcast/93782108","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/iHeartRadio.png","title":null},{"name":"PlayerFM","link":"https://player.fm/series/3323888","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/PlayerFM.png","title":null},{"name":"Listen Notes","link":"https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/mike-and-kristen-mike-and-kristen-4Y_OG3mqwt7/","image":"https://pbcdn1.podbean.com/fs1/site/images/admin5/ListenNotes.png","title":null}],"components":{"base":[{"id":"MainStyle","val":"light"},{"id":"Font","val":"Open Sans"},{"id":"SecondaryFont","val":"Open Sans"},{"id":"PlayerColor","val":"#3A61B9"},{"id":"PlayerStyle","val":"player1"},{"id":"PlayerWave","val":"show"},{"id":"Favicon","val":"https://www.podbean.com/images/favicon.ico"},{"id":"CookiesNotice","val":"hide"},{"id":"CookiesNoticeContent","val":"

The husband and wife duo discuss following dreams, living the life of a ”creative”, and all the ridiculous stories along the way.
