Introduction
In this episode, Boston artist Alex Cook (Youarelovedmurals.com, IG @stonebalancerart, FB @Youarelovedmurals, TW @Alexcookmusic) and I talk about one of my favorite topics, fear. I use to think of fear as the opposite of love because whenever I wanted to do something, fear would creep in. Fear literary stops us from doing what we feel called to do. Alex illustrates how he overcame his fears as a young artist leading him to paint a powerful message “YOU ARE LOVED” all around the world.
