Summary

If you can’t get enough memes on your timeline, then you’ll love this episode with author, poet, meme artist, and creative guide, James McCrae. You’ve probably already laughed and shared posts from his popular Instagram page, @wordsarevibrations, where he creates culturally relevant, thought-provoking, hilarious poems, and memes. 

In this conversation, James opens up about how technology and spirituality support his creativity, where he strives to find the perfect balance of visuals and the written word. For James, the technology portal is not limited to our screen obsession. He shares his holistic and nature-integrated vision on how technology can build a better planet for the future. 

We also dive into how James evolved his creative voice alongside his spiritual awakening, his healing with plant medicines, high vibrational arts, and so much more!! True to his brand, James’s words really do serve the highest vibrations, and his new book, “How to Laugh in Ironic Amusement During Your Existential Crisis,” pulls off the impossible feat of meeting us where we’re at while also inviting us to reimagine a new direction.
