Visual artist Maxim Zhestkov joins us once again to discuss how his career and artistic process has been changing over the past few years since we last had him on the show. We discuss how his entrance into the fine art world of gallery exhibitions, his thoughts on originality and authenticity, and what it means to experience pain in order to achieve your goals.
