Creative Actors Lab
Join Max and Kelley Grimm as we explore ways to incorporate creativity into your everyday life. Once we give ourselves permission to feel inspired by allowing our imaginations to flourish, we can reignite that childlike joy to create without being self-conscious.

A River Between Chaos and Zen - Poetry Ep. 13 - I Got the Blues
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Max talks about a friend with mental health issues and depression, who would call and spend over 45 minutes talking about his issues, and then he wanted to tell jokes, which was his way of trying to heal himself. He also had a hard time dealing with his daughter's depression and made a joke about it, which caused a falling out. Max discussed his own depression with his friend and his parody poem.
Max reads his poem, I Got Blues, which was inspired by Mississippi Blues and artists like Robert Johnson and Muddy Waters.
Max also talks about his trips to Arabia Mountain and how healing nature is, and extolls on how great a chef Marco Pierre White is, how he left professional cooking to cook for the people he loves, a similar voyage that Max took. Arabia Mountain inspired his poem, The Mountain.
