Where We End Up

This is part two of the origins of the first episode about my paranormal experiences. I've had a connection to the supernatural most of my life. It started when I was a child in 1994, but when I was a teenager in 2002, meeting a spirit up close and personal was the beginning of a whole new experience of interacting with spirits.As always, know that I'm primarily a carpenter and artist. My catalog of designs and how to purchase them can be found at jdrewsilvers.comhttp://www.whereweendup.comhttp://www.whereweendup.com

I take a personal opinion and deep dive into why I think Instagram's own user base is (partially) to blame for the horrible algorithm, decreased reach and exposure, and why the platform has become so unusable. Instagram: @jdrewsilvershttp://www.whereweendup.com

My old friend Will Pugh (from the band Cartel) and I have some back and forth banter and laughs.  He answers some fan questions, some industry questions, talks touring, how the 2000's  era pop punk/emo/post-hardcore bands all seem to be connected, and the friendship he and I have had over fifteen years. New music coming? Listen and find out. Will: @willpugCartel: @cartel.bandJ. Drew Silvers: @jdrewsilvershttp://www.whereweendup.com

This is a solo podcast of me explaining my woodworking and carpentry origins. It goes deeper than just me and is rooted in my family's history.  Find me on all social networks as @jdrewsilvershttp://www.whereweendup.com

As an artist or creator, what is the line between imitation and inspiration?  What are the unspoken rules of how far you can go before you're copying someone else's work?  Chandra asked the question and I gave my answer.http://www.whereweendup.com

Today's episode of season one is fun because Shannon (@aurgvon) and I had known each other online for a long time without actually speaking in any sense until that point.  Our first real conversation was this podcast. So that's where we ended up!Guest: @aurvgonHost: @jdrewsilvershttp://www.whereweendup.com

In the fourth episode of this series, I @jdrewsilvers am trading personal stories with Lauren @xtwii about both of our experiences of working in the high-stress and long hours environment of the restaurant industry - her as a chef, and me as a sever. We spend some time comparing notes about the methods of that industry, the interesting characters who always seem to exist there, and how those experiences ultimately helped her artistic journey.  Leaving the full-time bustle of the culinary world to work with her hands in a different way: Jewelry design and creation with a very "Lauren" style and vibe.http://www.whereweendup.com

In the third episode of this series I @jdrewsilvers am talking  to Noel and Joy, the owners, personalities, and sisters behind the crystal shop @truelovecrystals.We take a look at how we first connected as Noel was a customer who then became a friend, the origins of their business, families, and how they both left long careers to take a risk in search of rewards they ultimately found.http://www.whereweendup.com

In the second episode of this series I @jdrewsilvers am talking to Chandra @thisthatandthese about her unique family dynamic.Her, her husband, three kids (and their pets) decided to sell their house and move into an RV to travel the country full-time.  To add complications, they happened to set out just a few months before the pandemic arrived in the US.  Three years later, they're still living in the RV, still traveling, and figuring out what's next as their children get older.http://www.whereweendup.com
