Bo Joe: Navajo/Uté Silversmith (Part 2) - Epi. 250, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

I love the type of podcast where I get to go in-depth with the
person I'm speaking to, so much so that I begin to feel a
connection that's hard to describe. Well, I had that experience
with Bo Joe. He's an amazing silversmith and an incredibly
interesting person. I've known his father, sculptor and painter
Orland Joe for many tears, but I hadn't really had the
opportunity to talk to his son, especially not on this kind of
level. 

Bo was a successful sound engineer for some big names in the
music industry such as The Smashing Pumpkins, who he worked
intimately with. We talk about that component of his life,
working with these really famous people and he was really one of
the best at what he did. That being said, it wasn't fulfilling
for him.

One day, Bo realized that it was stones, metal, and the forming
of both elements into wearable art that was his true calling.
Fast-forward to today and he's become an exceptional, respected
silversmith. He has a major gallery that represents him and he's
doing incredible things. 

You can feel Bo's inner struggle as he speaks on his journey from
one art business to the next. Towards the end, he really kind of
lets it go and you see his genuine love for the craft on full
display. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. Bo Joe Part 2 on
