There's something kind of cool about leaving it, starting fresh the next day. Castenis like, ok, now you have to go, you take a hike or something. You're thinking about maybe lyrical ideas, or maybe that melodys sticking with you,. Or maybe something else comes into your head. The first idea was actually kind of more interesting. T lie just sings it into and then pep a like that. Hearkens back to remember the old 19 nineties version that was a roundball rock from weba.
A/J Jackson is an American filmmaker, musician, songwriter, record producer, and the lead singer for the band Saint Motel. From feeling too limited to one color choice with his own eyewear – A/J Jackson took the leap and created interchangeable tinted lenses. He’s now the founder of AVIEW, which helps you experience a new way of wearing glasses where you can swap out colors whenever you feel like it. Colors can affect your mood, productivity, and general sense of well being.
I really enjoyed speaking with A/J Jackson and learning how he maintains his ‘creative muse’. In this episode we discuss how it went from making music to glasses, finding a team of experts to work with, color theory – and the 3D printer at his local library.

- Taking on new creative projects
- Color theory and its impact on mood and productivity
