Jim Nog Pod

Welcome to alAndar w/ Marcos & Jim, a podcast dedicated to sharing and discussing art; it’s sort of like show-and-tell - but for grown-ups.   Who are these grown-ups? Well . . .   Marcos de Jesus “de la Guagua” is a singer, song-writer, and rapper. He’s multi-talented, multi-dimensioanl, multi-cultural, and multi-lingual, and multi-other things. I am proud and lucky enough to call him a good friend and to start this project with him.   James "Jim" Noguera is a fiction writer and poet, a university instructor, and a podcaster. He's published & self-published work online and has an MFA in Creative Writing.   This episode is about productivity, meaning, and process. It’s hard to find the right balance. For an artist, the mandate of creation requires sacrifice.   TIMESTAMPS: 0:00 - Intro song "Ghostly Grace" 0:33 - Intro 2:50 - What is productivity? 10:32 - Limitless possibility mindset vs. stoic acceptance of limitations 15:52 - Productivity, art, and neurodivergence 37:17 - Maximizing meaningful experie
