A very special episode today as we interview Alex Millar, world renowned artist. Alex was raised as a Jehovah's Witness and was an elder before leaving, going through a very difficult period until he discovered his real calling.
Warning: During our discussion there is mention of suicidal thoughts.
Alex talks frankly, and with plenty of humour about his life as a Jehovah's Witness child, growing up and then the crisis that led him out of the organisation. He is now a respected artist and shares his philosophy on life. This was such a privilege and a rare opportunity to talk to such a singular talent. We hope you enjoy is as much as we did.

My favorite interviews are with XJW‘s that grew up in the borg from the time they were very small because that was my experience as well. I know I’ll never get interviewed though because I never did anything exciting with my life like become an artist.😄

An absolutely fascinating interview. However I disagree with Alex's separation of the right and left hemispheres of the brain. I don't think it's as simple as that. I also disagree that some people are visual, others auditory, others tactile in the way they perceive things etc. I don't think you can split people up like that.
