The Martin Talk Show
Life is like a movie. Write your own ending. Keep believing, keep pretending. Jim Henson 

Welcome to Episode 356 of The Martin Talk Show the podcast series Amplifying Change Makers with deep, uncensored, and soulful conversations from across the creative cosmos. Im your host Martin Colton, and today, we are flying in a slightly different direction. or should I say flapping? 

Meet Jake a charismatic, wide-eyed bird with a mysterious past, a hopeful heart, and absolutely no fingerprints. Why? Because hes a puppet. Yes, this weeks guest is made of felt, feathers, and pure unfiltered personality. Think Muppets meets masterclass.

In this quirky and surprisingly moving episode titled A New Adventure Begins, Jake opens up about his egg-cellent origin story, his dreams of flying beyond the string. But its not all fluff and giggles, Jakes insights on identity, imagination, and reinvention are as sharp as his beak is bendy.

We even discuss a very real possibility, Jake might just become the new co-host of The Martin Talk Show. Thats right, felt feathers, flappy wings, and all. Could this be the start of a beautiful (and slightly bizarre) partnership?

This episode is a joyful celebration of creativity in all its forms even the ones sewn together with buttons and glue. So lean in, laugh loud, and remember what Jim Henson taught us: when you lead with imagination, anything is possible. Even bird puppets becoming podcast royalty.

Press play. Be inspired. And welcome to a new adventure. with Jake.
