ON THIS EPISODE: On today's episode, I'm joined by one of my closest friends and collaborators, Octavius A. Newman. Octavius and I have teamed up on lots of stuff through the years, but today we're talking about his new project, Sole Stories. Sole Stories is a episodic series in which local legends in fashion and design get personal about a pair of sneakers that are more than just a pair of kicks. It's all just part of Octavius' "magic trick" to get people to reveal something about themselves. ABOUT MOST UNIVERSAL: Most Universal is a podcast about the interconnectedness of idiosyncrasies. Every week, I sit down with friends and members of the Indy Hall community, and we discuss our unexpected interests, surprising career paths, and quirky qualities that make us who we are. Make new friends with fascinating people, or learn a little more about the folks you thought you knew! Indy Hall members can join LIVE recordings every Thursday at 12pm eastern. New episodes are released every Monday, where ever you enjoy podcasts. And remember, “what is most personal, is most universal”. Find out more about Indy Hall, and join our community at indyhall.org.
