Today I sit down with Campbell Walker — aka Struthless — illustrator, YouTuber and bestselling author of Your Head is a House Boat, and Doom and Bloom.
We explore why life can feel like doom in a world of abundance, how social media became an outrage machine, and why creativity is the antidote. Struthless also opens up about self-help, suicide, humor as a survival tool, and how to be creative even if you don’t think you are.
This is a raw, funny, and practical conversation on turning doom into bloom.
