A masterclass in knowing your magic, even before the world knows what to do with it.
Maurice Harris—founder of Bloom & Plume, artist, and creative force—joins Alex and Alexis for a conversation about creativity, confidence, and learning how to protect your energy. Maurice reflects on growing up knowing he was different, how not fitting in became a creative advantage, and what it really means when people ask for your vision. This episode is equal parts laughter and insight, and a reminder that your magic doesn’t need permission to shine.
