Episode 33: Darryl, Creativity, and Joy

It's never easy to lose someone we know and like. Whether we "know" them from seeing them on television, interacting with them online, or actually being in their presence. Particularly when they're creators.

See, the creators leave us with more than just themselves. They leave pieces of themselves with everything they do throughout their lives. And that's the way Darryl Ohrt lived. My own experience in Darryl's gifts spanned from plaid-wrapped vehicles to a questionable inflatable doll that haunted my office.

Get the stories behind these bizarre tales, how the optimism and joy of creativity should inspire us all, and Darryl's own words on what matters in this episode of The Full Monty.
