In episode 168 I interview multi disciplinary artist, Dark Art society member and brain cancer survivor Dan Colonna. Dan talks about getting into art, painting, model painting, working for Disney Imagineering and then suddenly getting a diagnosis of having terminal brain cancer. 7 years later, he is going strong and doing so well that the doctors can't even explain it! We also discuss the importance of having support from friends and family, his wife Rhonda (and her saintly status), traveling to Italy, his neighborhood rooster named Jesus and tons more. His story is one of hope and inspiration (things that we can all use these days) and he has an important message for everybody: get up off your ass and follow your dreams!

Also a quick art life update. 

Interview starts at 5:49
