Behind The Camera Podcast

Adriana Kaegi has spent her life building worlds. As the visionary behind Kid Creole and the Coconuts, from founding the group to shaping its sound, choreography, and iconic visual identity, she understands what it really means to create something that stands out and stays true.In this episode, Adriana and I dig into the heart of creative identity: how it’s formed, how it evolves, and how you hold onto it when the world keeps trying to define you. We talk about her journey from performer to creative architect, and how that same instinct now drives her work at Addy Media, where she continues to design, produce, and innovate across digital and live experiences.🔗Check out Addy Media below➡️https://www.addy.media/🎧 Listen to Behind the Camera Podcast:➡️ https://open.spotify.com/show/5e1CMBcOQ1tDNBlPtdbsuB?si=3a34ee8771d6441f➡️ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/behind-the-camera-podcast/id1762286651📖 Buy my Book!➡️https://amzn.eu/d/0a1IExiT🔗 All links in one place:➡️ https://linktr.ee/behindthecamerapod💙 Support the show / bonus content:➡️ https://www.patreon.com/cw/BehindTheCameraPodcast📩 Business enquiries / Local Sessions collaborations:➡️ [email protected]

Jeff Kildow writes alternate-history thrillers where war, aviation, espionage, and technology collide with frightening possibilities. He is the son of a World War II veteran, an Air Force veteran himself, and a retired aerospace engineer, which means when Jeff writes about bombers, atomic threats, secret missions, and the fragile turns of history, he is not building stories on guesswork.He is the author of the Joel Knight Menace series, including Nazi Menace, Red Menace, Fourth Reich Menace, and America Under Attack—books that ask one of fiction’s most powerful questions: what if history turned just a few degrees darker?And in a world where authors are wrestling with AI, authenticity, and what makes a story feel truly human, Jeff brings us back to something fiction still desperately needs: lived experience, deep research, and the courage to imagine the past as a warning for the future.➡️Check out Jeff's website below;🔗www.jeffkildow.com🎧 Listen to Behind the Camera Podcast:➡️ https://open.spotify.com/show/5e1CMBcOQ1tDNBlPtdbsuB?si=3a34ee8771d6441f➡️ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/behind-the-camera-podcast/id1762286651📖 Buy my Book!➡️https://amzn.eu/d/0a1IExiT🔗 All links in one place:➡️ https://linktr.ee/behindthecamerapod💙 Support the show / bonus content:➡️ https://www.patreon.com/cw/BehindTheCameraPodcast📩 Business enquiries / Local Sessions collaborations:➡️ [email protected]

My guest today spent forty years in courtrooms as a prosecutor, a defence attorney, and a trial lawyer who's seen just about everything, including organized crime cases. Then he went back to school for clinical social work and spent years working as a therapist and addiction counselor. Somewhere along the way, both careers taught him the same thing: a huge number of people are sitting on a legal problem they don't understand, too stressed and too unsure of the cost to ever pick up the phone. So he built something new. A legal consulting practice that helps people figure out what's actually going on and what their real options are, without ever stepping in as their lawyer.My guest today is Bob Martin!🔗Check out Bob's website below;➡️https://theflowmedia.com/🎧 Listen to Behind the Camera Podcast:➡️ https://open.spotify.com/show/5e1CMBcOQ1tDNBlPtdbsuB?si=3a34ee8771d6441f➡️ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/behind-the-camera-podcast/id1762286651📖 Buy my Book!➡️https://amzn.eu/d/0a1IExiT🔗 All links in one place:➡️ https://linktr.ee/behindthecamerapod💙 Support the show / bonus content:➡️ https://www.patreon.com/cw/BehindTheCameraPodcast📩 Business enquiries / Local Sessions collaborations:➡️ [email protected]
