    Not my cuppa
    Mr. Onken tries, but falls far short of true spirituality. Quite a bit of aimless and misguided rambling about things that he seems to not have fully grasped. If you're looking for God, He's not here. Of course, everything I say may be wrong, but you'll have to decide for yourself.

    I am a HUGE fan of Nick Onken, of his art and everything he does. I follow him on all his social media platforms as I always find his content inspiring and fun. As an aspiring photographer and artist, I absolutely love his podcast. There are many things I find fascinating about this podcast; his personality and view of life, his creative insights in business, art, success, entrepreneurship, living a creative and passionate life and living life with purpose. I also love the fact that he is involved in philanthropy. He projects such a vibrant and fun personality that makes the listener feel as if they were talking to a best friend. I absolutely love the way he interviews his guests and makes the conversation fun, positive, interesting and inspiring. Thank you Nick for creating incredible moments and sharing them with the world. You an inspiration for many. Keep creating, the world needs your badassery.

    I've been following Nick on IG for a long time because I love his art and photography, but just recently begain listening to his podcast. Great content, interesting and inspiring whether he has a guest or is flying solo. Nick's podcast has flavorful content on life, business, and art, which he brings together to empower listeners.

    words of brightness + wisdom
    Aspiring towards a nion life is a wonderful thing. I've enjoyed the thoughtful discussions Nick Onken fosters in this podcast about designing an intentional, artful work-life and personal life. Highly recommended for photographers, artists and creative spirits in need of refreshment, wisdom and in the constant search for refining our work in the world.

    Extremely talented and humble
    I came across this pod a few days ago and was so excited to hear Nick talk to guests. He is an extremely talented artist in multiple mediums and yet he remains undefined by his success. Instead his driven by his love of process and connection! He is a good person with a ton of empathy for his guests and an innate curiosity typical of a great creative. Love the pod and now listening back to the past hundred :)

    Engaging and Inspirational
    By far, one of the most engaging and inspirational podcast with a great array of guests! I always wait impatiently for the next episode. If you haven't listened you're missing out. Two of the best episodes: Erv Braun and Stacy London.

    Great podcast
    Thanks for taking the time to make an educational and inspiring podcast. Always look forward to the next episode.
  • Parkerhurley
    My favorite podcast in the cosmos.
    I listen to several different podcasts and Shop Talk Radio is by far my favorite. I'd never heard the term "creative entrepreneur" before listening to Nick Onken's podcasts and it dawned on me that I am one! Nick interviews so many creative, inspiring, and enthusiastic individuals on his show- I find myself listening to them over and over to gather up all the easter eggs to store in my basket. Nick himself is humble, intelligent, and holds space for his guests in a way that allows them to share unabashedly their stories of success and failure. The best thing about the podcast is after listening, I find myself compelled to create- usually in ways I never considered before. Check it out!

    Breaking It Down
    This podcast has allowed me to peak into ways of living that I assumed people were just lucky to fall into. Nick’s guest prove time and time again that it’s never too late to make a bold change and to trust yourself when you fall as long as you’re willing to put in the hard work of getting back up.
  • Fangenator@2
    Great Interviewer
    My favorite episodes are the one with Vanessa Van Edwards and the other with Erv Braun. Nick is great at getting amazing guests, putting the spotlight on them, and letting them shell out tons of nuggets of wisdom.
  • Budafied
    Listen to them all!!
    I'm telling everyone I know to listen to Shop Talk. Nick OnKen's voice is impactful, curious, honest and raw. As a small town girl that is a director, arts educator, illustrator, and writer, it can feel lonely trying to find conversation about art, money, optimizing technology and our body, mind, soul alignment. Nick brings like minded people together and makes you feel like you are all just chillin in your living room! He asks the Oprah questions. Love it!
  • Ckgeorge
    Well rounded
    Nick touches on all the bases that make up being a self employed creative - how to stay inspired, managing time, developing good business practices etc. Definitely does his homework and asks deeper questions that help shed light. I always look forward to the new episodes. Keep it up!
  • mamboism
    Inspiration on another level!
    Nick targeted this podcast specifically to creatives, whom often struggle quite differently to those who are business or technology oriented entrepreneurs. Nick's interviews and insights has inspired a lot of actions for me as a creative, to learn and build my own business for my passions.
  • MrCrowthers
    A great listen for ANYONE!
    I.love.this.podcast. I was introduced to Shop Talk Radio because I saw a post on FB that Stacy London was a guest, and I was immediately hooked! Nick’s guest are individually interesting and so wildly creative each in their own way. While this podcast is geared towards Creative Entrepreneurs, it it a great listen for anyone with creative fibers in their being. Listening to Nick’s amazing guests gives you personal insight on how to unlock your creativity, overcome obstacles and speed bumps along you journey, and encourages you to dare greatly in order to become the best version of you.

    Feel inspired after every episode
    Nick is an artist to the core, and his interviews with the top creatives and entrepreneurs in the world always leave me feeling inspired. His series on creating a life in art is super helpful and educational. So glad to have discovered this invaluable resource.

    Thank you
    Nick has provided an outlet for creative entrepreneurs to share their story to success and give strength and inspiration to me and other people that are on the same path starting out. I look forward to being inspired by each one of Nick’s interviews with his wide range on fascinating guests.
  • KeithD08
    Motivational Podcast
    I stumbled across Shop Talk a few months ago and ever since I’ve been addicted. I appreciate Nick’s style of interviewing, he doesn’t seem to waste time and always asks interesting questions that get his guests talking and telling stories. His guest’s are always interesting and offer fantastic advice and insight into finding passion and making something out of it. Finding myself at a career crossroads in life I have found Shop Talk Radio a breath of fresh air in the many start-up, career advice and entrepreneurial Podcasts out there.

I love music, streetwear, art, and anything pop culture related, therefore this podcast gives me on going motivation! I listen to this podcast while doing my homework. He’s had people like Usher, Scooter Braun, Jasmine Solano, on his show just to name a few. I highly recommend this podcast! Especially to anyone who’s looking to take the creative career path.

    Revelatory interviews
    Nick's guests are some of the most powerful and influential in the entertainment industry but they feel so comfortable and connected to him that they show their vulnerability. Congrats!

    Provides Amazing Inspiration and Insight!
    Love the podcast. Nick connects with some amazing guests and provides priceless inspiration. The Coco and Breezy podcast episode 05 was one of my all time favorites.

    CREATIVE GENIUS!
    Coming from a technical background in finance, dealing with spreadsheets for my first job out of school & then finding my true passion as an online creative & marketing entrepreneur, this podcast makes me smile every time. Nick does some incredible work outside the podcast but brings together his insights in the business world with some of today’s best in the creative entrepreneurship space. Such an inspiration to the world & leader to many showing that you can make an incredible living following your passions. Keep it up brotha!

    Passionate Videographer/Creative Entrepreneur
    Thank you Nick for reintroducing me to Lewis Howes, a guy from a suburb of one of the greatest cities in the world, Columbus, Ohio. You and Lewis are very inspirational to those of us pursuing our passions in life... Now, do you know a good photographer who can shoot some shots for me?
  • lilbitknowsbest
    Inspiring!
    Great interviews with creative people who enjoy incredible success in their fields. The big difference here is that their focus seems to be helping others, as much as it is about themselves. I loved the Lewis Howes interview & am looking fwd to hearing more from Nick!
