57. Coincidence as a Practice with Matt Bull

<p>This is a very special episode for me as my guest is my boyfriend Matt Bull.&nbsp;</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@kelsiklembara/glass-optical-matt-bull-63c9d2b43273" target="_blank">Matt</a> is a Clio-winning writer and creative director, and cofounder of a small but acclaimed advertising agency called <a href="https://heykickstand.com" target="_blank">Kickstand</a>. His work has been covered extensively, and he was once called an <a href="https://www.adweek.com/creativity/copywriter-wins-free-billboard-uses-it-hold-crazy-url-contest-150551/" target="_blank">“advertising folk hero of sorts” by <em>Adweek</em></a>. You might recognize his voice from either his side work as a <a href="https://www.kimdawsonagency.com/wp-content/uploads/Matt-Bull-comm.mp3" target="_blank">voiceover artist</a> for national brands or from the <a href="https://www.fatherly.com/news/dad-writes-fake-rejection-letter-daughter-cheated-mario-kart/" target="_blank">viral video</a> of him pranking his daughter (Google Mario kart dad prank if you’re curious). Matt is a dedicated father to 3 teenagers. And he is happiest when he is making something, whether it’s a song, a poem, or a piece of furniture.</p> <p>In the intro to episode, I share Matt's chart (thank you, Matt, for your permission). Matt is a Sag Rising with Neptune on the Ascendant, a Pisces Sun conjunct Jupiter, and a Gemini Moon.&nbsp;</p> <p>Then I get into a discussion of The Hierophant from the tarot, and how the card felt important to my desire to bring Matt on the show. The Hierophant is associated with the sign of Taurus, and relates to Taurus's connection to the throat and the vocal chords.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also share how the framework of the Emergent No - which I introduced here exactly a year ago - is so alive again right now, and how honoring his No has been crucial across Matt's life.&nbsp;</p> <p>General time stamps:&nbsp;</p> <p>43 minutes in: interview begins&nbsp;</p> <p>49 minutes: the first time Matt uses the phrasing "wildly coincidental"</p> <p>58 minutes:
