S2:E2 - On Writing, Life & Cree Time -Interview with Award Winning Indi

My interview with award-winning author Joseph Kakwinokanasum. In this episode, Joseph talks about the anchors of life, the worst jobs he's ever had, writing tips for new or emerging authors, and why everyone on this planet should write. We also get into Cree Time, how to overcome past traumas, ways to avoid past mistakes, the difference between a job and a career, and why both matter.
