  • JUTARIZZ: The Creative Space Everyone in Coffs Harbour Is Talking About
    Jan 15 2026

    What if Coffs Harbour had a place where creativity felt real again?

    In this episode, we pull back the curtain on JUTARIZZ, the upstairs space quietly changing the way young people, artists, parents, and creatives connect in our town. This isn't a shop. It isn't a studio. It isn't a program that disappears after the hype fades.

    JUTARIZZ is a living creative hub where music is made, fashion is reimagined, confidence is built, and young people are given space to explore who they are without judgment. From five-dollar clothing and DJ sessions to photography, recording, and real skill-building, this is a place designed for curiosity, culture, and community.

    If you've heard the name but never stepped inside, this episode explains why people keep talking about it, why the energy feels different, and why JUTARIZZ is becoming a must-see space in Coffs Harbour.

    Whether you're a young creative, a parent, an artist, or someone who cares about the future of this town, this episode invites you to come in, look around, and feel it for yourself.

    Because some things can't be explained.
    They have to be experienced.

  • After the Applause: Why Serious Artists Must Stand Like a Wall
    Jan 14 2026

    The conference is over.
    The rally is done.
    The applause has faded.

    Now what?

    In this episode, Jay speaks directly to artists in 2026 who want their art to become income—not just inspiration. From a professional, no-nonsense perspective, this is a breakdown of why most creatives fail after the motivation wears off, and why discipline matters more than talent.

    This is not a motivational talk.
    This is a reality check.

    Jay covers:

    • Why there are no days off after the spotlight fades

    • The real reasons artists fail in today's climate

    • Why even doing everything right still comes with no guarantees

    • Why most people quit long before the work even starts

    The episode closes with "Stand Like a Wall", a reminder that resilience—not hype—is what separates those who last from those who disappear.

    H-D-S-E Studio exists to support artists ready for structure, systems, and accountability—but time and selection are limited.

    First studio visit is free.
    After that, seriousness decides everything.

  • No Days Off After the Applause: Why Most Artists Fail in 2026
    Jan 13 2026

    Everyone loves the conference.
    The rally.
    The motivation.
    The applause.

    But what happens the day after is where most artists fail.

    In this episode, Jay breaks down the uncomfortable truth about why artists—especially in 2026—don't turn talent into income. No hype. No fantasy. Just professional realities from someone who's built systems, studios, and structure where excuses don't survive.

    We talk about:

    • Why motivation dies without systems

    • The biggest mistakes Gen Z creatives make today

    • Why talent is common but discipline is rare

    • Why even doing everything right is still not a guarantee

    • And why hobbies cost money while businesses get paid

    This episode isn't for everyone.
    It's for the ones willing to work after the applause fades.

    H-D-S-E Studio exists for artists ready to treat their art like a business—but time and selection are limited.

    First visit is free.
    After that, seriousness decides the rest.

  • When No One's Watching
    Jan 12 2026

    Sometimes the smallest moments carry the most weight.

    In today's episode, Jay reflects on two quiet encounters with artists who simply needed help — not attention, not exposure, not sympathy. Just presence.

    This isn't a story about pain.

    It's a reminder that character is defined by what we do when there's no audience, no camera, and nothing to gain.

    As the conversation settles, the episode closes with a gentle song about integrity, kindness, and the quiet choices that shape who we are — when no one's watching.

    Stay with it until the end.

    Jan 9 2026

    In this intimate, unfiltered conversation, Jay sits down with Luke Christopher Hennessy for a rare deep dive into writing, memory, loss, and purpose.

    Luke reads from his work, reflects on love and grief, and explores why stories matter long after the moment has passed. There's no performance here—just truth. From gritty realism to quiet reflection, this episode captures what happens when literature, music, and lived experience meet in the same room.

    Recorded at HDSE Studio in Coffs Harbour, this episode is less about promotion and more about preservation. A moment in time. A voice being heard. A reminder not to rush the process—and not to look back.
