• I Interviewed The Modern Day Da Vinci — Kevin Champeny

  Kevin Champeny is a New York–based mosaic sculptor whose massive works are built from tens of thousands of hand-cast resin “pixels” — gummy bears, pills, bullets, and flowers — forming giant portraits and cultural icons that have attracted collectors like Drake, Mike Tyson, and even the Saudi royal family. In this episode, we explore how he went from aerospace mechanic to selling six-figure art commissions, the viral moment that began with a gummy bear chandelier on iCarly, and the mindset that rejects the “starving artist” myth while embracing obsession, defiance, and creativity to carve out a life as one of today’s most distinctive artists.🔗 FOLLOW KEVIN:WebsiteInstagramYouTube🕒 TIMESTAMPS:00:00 Who Is Kevin Champeny20:32 No Breaks28:30 Finding a Unique Artistic Niche40:11 Navigating High-Profile Commissions47:28 Philosophical Reflections on Kindness and Violence01:08:27 Current Projects and Future Aspirations✌🏼 SUPPORT THE PODCAST BY PURCHASING PRODUCTS WE LOVE:💧 Vitadrop — Healthy Hydration & Vitamins (Sleep / Hydration / Focus & Collagen) — Use the code 'TOT' to get 25% off👟 Vivobarefoot — My favourite barefoot shoes that I wear everyday — Use the code ‘TOT’ for 20% off🔫 Legacy — Advanced at-home fertility analysis test — Use the code 'TOT' for 10% off🥗 Blueprint — Longevity supplements and meal solutions by Bryan Johnson — Use the code ‘TOT’ for 10% off📖 5 Minute Journal — My favourite daily gratitude journal — Use the code ‘TOT10’ for 10% off📝 Notion — My favourite note-taking app for business and life — Use the code ‘TOT’ to support the podcastGET IN TOUCH:🌍 Our website🌍 Advertise with us: [email protected]🌍 Book us: [email protected] OUR COMMUNITY:🎥 YouTube🗣️ Spotify🍎 Apple Podcasts📸 Instagram🐦 X / Twitter🎵 TikTok💭 ABOUT US:Each week I’ll be deep diving into the lives, habits and lessons of some of the most successful and interesting people in the world – teasing out their curiosities and aiming to provide actionable insights for your day-to-day life.The podcast focusses on the pillars of health, wealth, and wisdom – with each episode an in-depth, vulnerable conversation with a unique individual taking on the world in their own way.Expect episodes on business, marketing, health, spirituality, biohacking, mindset, content creation and more!Hosted by Adam MetwallyProduced by Joe Fowler.🎶 Music:By — HNNYListen here
