episode 221: Ten Thousand Words: Exploring Creativity and Connection with Shin Yu Pai
I'm particularly excited to have Shin Yu Pai with me today. I've been a fan of her poetry for a while now, and it's truly an honor to have her on the show. Shin Yu recently started producing and hosting her own podcast, and we chatted about how she got started and what inspired her to take on this new endeavor.
What I loved most about our conversation was getting to know the person behind the poetry. Shin Yu is not only an incredibly talented artist but also a warm and engaging individual. Her passion for creativity is infectious, and I came away from our conversation feeling inspired and energized.
So, whether you're a poetry lover, a fan of nonfiction, or just interested in exploring new creative mediums, I recommend tuning in to this episode. Shin's insights and experiences are sure to leave you with a fresh perspective on the art of storytelling.
