Nathan Carson aka “Streetarthustle” is a talented artist who has taken fate into his own hands by being creative on his own terms, vowing to fulfill all of his creative desires and never do anything he doesn’t want to again. He is documenting this journey for all to see via his Periscope account, allowing other people to be inspired as well as learn from his mistakes.
In this episode, Nathan discusses:
-A story about what happened directly after the last time he was on the show, back in Episode 54.

-How a mushroom trip helped him to get the courage to hire an assistant.
-How he has had to make some tough decisions about blocking certain followers on Periscope.
-How using e-mail has become a slow way of communicating, whereas Periscope is instant.
-How Facebook is a monolithic code structure that they can’t build on top of.
-His thoughts on how Periscope is like the eyes of an infant artificial intelligence.
-What it is like to be a part of a “Periscope family” that is connected by the Internet, all while circumnavigating the actual physical world.
-His advice to anyone who might be nervous to start a Periscope channel.
-How Periscope is almost like performance art, and how the people that are commissioning him to paint get to help choose colors and thus pushing him and his art.
-His new Patreon page and how it will be utilized.
-How important podcasts have been in his life.
Nathan’s Final Push will inspire you to do what you love no matter how stupid it might seem or feel, and to allow your loves to die if that is what feels right.
