Santa Fe's reputation as an art destination is well known, but during our chat with gallery owner Dale McDonald, we learned an interesting fact: Santa Fe has one of the highest concentrations of art galleries in the country, second only to New York City. This puts our region's art scene into a national perspective.

For emerging artists, it means that while there's immense competition, there is also a vast network of opportunities right here in New Mexico, from Santa Fe and Albuquerque to the dozens of galleries in the tiny, funky, and walkable town of Madrid.

Dale’s first rule? He has to personally find the work interesting, since his gallery is also his home. But beyond that, it's about taking calculated risks. He once took a chance on a series of small 4x4 acrylic squares he was unsure about. Four years later, he's sold about 100 of them. It's a great lesson in art curation: what resonates with a buyer is deeply personal, and sometimes the most unexpected pieces are the ones that find a home.

It was inspiring to hear our recent podcast guest, Jason Whetstone, talk about his journey. He went from being a preschool and kindergarten teacher to founding his own successful consulting firm, Whet Rock Consulting.

For the first two years, his business grew entirely through word-of-mouth recommendations, without even having a website. It’s a powerful reminder that expertise and passion can come from unexpected backgrounds and that you don’t need a traditional path to build something impactful.

His story is a testament to the idea that being told "you can't do that" can sometimes be the best motivation.

We don't always know what will come out in a conversation. And Yes, it is part of Unique's Coming Out journey!
We had a fascinating discussion on the podcast about a topic that affects nearly every family: screen time.
My guest, Unique Simmons, who founded the youth advocacy organization "For The People," shared some startling information. Research shows that screen-based addiction is rewiring children's cognitive development, with impacts seen in infants as young as 0-3 months. Her daughter hasn't had a cell phone for 19 months, and in that time has taught herself Japanese and learned multiple instruments.
This isn't about eliminating technology, but about fostering a healthier relationship with it to protect kids' developing brains and social skills.

One of the most important takeaways from our recent podcast episode of 3 Essential Questions was the value of creating a "safe space" for young people.
For the girls at Girls Inc of Santa Fe, this means having a place where they can navigate the tough transitions of adolescence without judgment.
Kim Brown shared how girls who have been in the program since they were five or six find a reliable community to lean on, especially during those challenging middle school years. It’s a space where they learn to build lasting friendships, handle conflict, and find their confidence, knowing they have a supportive network to catch them.

One of the most complex parts of a coming out journey can be navigating long-held family beliefs and personal faith. My guest, Doug, talked about growing up in a religious household where certain traditional values were deeply ingrained.

He described a slow process of questioning and eventually moving away from the rigid religious framework of his youth, which he found freeing. When it came to his family, he was understandably hesitant, especially after seeing a hurtful homophobic post from his father online.

However, with the help of his sister as a bridge, his parents moved from initial shock to acceptance. His dad even stands up for him now. It shows that while the initial reaction may be rooted in fear or lack of understanding, love can often pave the way for a profound shift in perspective.

A fascinating point from our recent conversation with Jonathan David Lewis of McKee Wallwork was about brand modernization. Consider a giant like Harley-Davidson. Their core customer base, the baby boomer generation, is aging. This creates a critical challenge: how do you evolve to attract younger generations without alienating the loyal following that built your brand?

This isn't just a Harley problem. Kodak, Meta, and even Google are facing similar generational shifts. It's a powerful reminder that no brand, no matter how iconic, is immune to the passage of time. The market is always changing, and identity has to shift with it or you will not remain relevant. This makes the work they are doing very important for your branding.
