Episode-009 Surviving the "Widow Maker" with Architect and Illustrator, Mike Smith

Written By Stephen Jones

In this episode I sit down with architect, illustrator and heart attack survivor, Mike Smith, AKA Doodlebags. Mike was running roughly 3 miles a day and was blindsided by a heart attack named the "Widow Maker." Not only has Mike jumped back into the creative saddle, he's audaciously returned (almost a year-to the date from his heart attack) to run his furthest distance ever. The timing of this release was not intentional, but I think it was meant to be. Please take a listen. You can find Mike @doodlebags on IG and Twitter and doodlebags illustration on FB.

Hailing from bourbon country and thirsty for new experiences, I explored the world as a U.S Navy photographer prior to my branding and design career. Armed with a strong work-ethic and empathy for different spices of life, I've taken those experiences and applied them toward my design practice.

When I'm not obsessing over strategy and details, you can find me scouting the street food spots, cycling the greenways and enjoying the great outdoors. I'm an avid Tottenham Hotspur supporter, and I'm proud to call Nashville home.
