One of the best parts of having this podcast is who I am fortunate to cross
paths with, and the ongoing surprise of who reaches out to me. Some of you
may remember when I was falling out of my chair (or rather, the closet that
doubles as podcasting studio) to interview one of my favorite musicians,
Trevor Hall. Well, one of the best side outcomes was getting to know his
team better, Tim and Isabelle at N3W LEVEL Management. We met in-person for
the first time earlier this summer, and the hours flew by! Instant kindred
spirits and friends for life :)

So I was every bit as excited when they mentioned another one of their
artists' ambitious projects: Amanda Giacomini's mission to paint 10,000
Buddhas around the world. Amanda has been teaching yoga for over 25 years,
and she’s been an artist for almost the same amount of time. Ten Thousand
Buddhas is her worldwide, highly sought after art project—including large
scale murals and fine art paintings—that she completed last year after five
years of steadily working toward her goal. In this conversation we dive
into what she learned, how it inspired her to break out of her typical
shell (and artist studio), and naturopathic practices that keep her sane
while touring with her husband MC Yogi.
