(description written by a.i.) When Ben Cashen decided to transform an attic space into a home studio, he was channeling more than just his audio expertise; he was opening a door to a world where sound, photography, graphic design, and video collide. Our conversation with this Texas-to-Ohio creative maverick reveals his evolution and adaptation in the face of COVID-19's challenges, especially in his role at Christian Life Center in Heath. Ben's story is a testament to innovation and resilience, particularly as we uncover the surprising benefits of a vertical monitor in his studio setup – a twist that proves necessity truly is the mother of invention.
Reflecting on my own journey, I recognize the parallels between Ben's pursuits and the determination it took me to carve a niche in the audio and music production scene while juggling jobs at Chick-fil-A and Harry and Izzy's. There’s a special kind of dedication that's required to balance breadwinning with passion – a balance that's vividly illustrated through anecdotes from our time at Independent Baptist College and beyond. Whether it's discussing the emergence of content creation, the influence of trailblazers like Braxton, or entertaining the notion of a return to the culinary arts, this episode is a melting pot of inspiration, hard work, and the pursuit of creative excellence. Join us for an intimate exploration of the uncharted territories in creativity, where the aroma of possibility is just as enticing as any kitchen's fare.
