Ep 70 - Defining your own Adventure with Samantha Dion Baker

New York-based artist and author Samantha Dion Baker introduces her latest book - Draw your Adventures.

What are good ways to think of the word ‘adventure’? Does it always need to be an exotic, foreign location? Sam and Nishant discuss ways to craft a personal definition of adventure, free of other people (plus social media) opinions.

Then big questions creep in! If all knowledge already exists on YouTube, what really is the job of the how-to book? If artists are self-driven, why do we benefit so much from community? Also, are disembodied hands easier to draw than hands attached to their people?

BONUS: Sam offers advice for first-time authors (like Nishant!) to deal with the anxiety of expectations.
