Nathaniel Carroll has been a musician since childhood. He spent his teenage years wandering the Plains in search of stages to play on, making a few records along the way. Then Nathaniel took a break from music to become, among other things, a father and an attorney. In the COVID era, he descended to his homemade studio night after night to produce Panic Pandemic, a 5-track album with a lot to say. It's also a lot of fun to listen to.  - Tony 

Jen Fitzwater is a talented artist, musician, and sometimes poet. In this episode, Christie and Tony talk with her about her art, why she makes it. We also get into why she is transforming a white van into her future home and studio. You can check out her work (and even get some for yourself!) at the links below.

Tony and Christie dig into ACSAS itself to discuss why we're building this community, how it works, and where we think it's going. Our next cohort starts 1/2. To learn more about ACSAS, see www.acsas.work or email us at [email protected] or [email protected].

Sawil had never considered herself a writer...until she started writing. Her style, which emerged almost immediately, as if born rather than developed, stands out for its rawness and introspection. Sawil has more than a half-dozen ACSAS cohorts under the belt at this point and, as of November 2020, is working on her second book. 

In the first episode of the ACSAS pod, co-founders Tony and Christie chat about Christie's creative process. Since the COVID pandemic paused a new business in its tracks, Christie has finished 3 books (2 from the beginning) over a half-dozen ACSAS cohorts. What?! How. Why.
