407. Dreaming BIG… Painting BIG WALLS & Reviving HOMETOWNS! - An interview with Artist Calina Mishay

Today… we’re talking with one of my favorite humans… Calina Mishay.

Cal… first joined me… way back… on episode 185.  And if you follow Cal… you know she’s doing some amazing work as an artist based in Texas.  

She grew up in a small town and overcame a lot!  She started to build a flourishing art career and then a few years ago, Cal expanded her work and started tackling urban street art… making these amazing 3 story-high murals in small towns around the US. 

As she’s been doing it… she’s also infusing new life into these small towns where she’s doing these murals… and she’s been uncovering all these amazing stories and hidden gems in these small towns too.

And guess what? NOW Cal is bringing these stories to the world through her brand new TV show called… “Cal’s Hometown Revival!”

It’s been a heck of a journey to get here… 

I’m soooo excited for this conversation… so let’s get to it!
