Micah Davis on Creating Connection: The Intentional Art of Joyful Work

My guest, Micah Davis, is an incredible full-time video maker, and it was so clear how his outgoing nature and pure joy in community directly fuel the amazing work he creates. We talked about how his journey started with a slightly sneaky plan to get into music festivals for free, which actually birthed his super popular "Walk About Talk Abouts." These aren't your typical "gotcha" interviews; they're all about fostering real connection and positive vibes on the street. Having been in a few myself (totally by chance, I swear!), I can tell you they're as uplifting and authentic as it gets. We then dug into Micah’s latest big project, The City for the Trees, a documentary series he co-created. This series makes a powerful case for how vital trees and green spaces are in our communities, even showing how something as simple as landscape design can silently communicate value to the people living there. Micah shared the unexpected hurdles they faced while filming and a brilliant insight: when you make something intensely personal and specific, it can actually become universally relatable. That’s because genuine authenticity just hits different and truly resonates with all kinds of people, making it a fantastic example of communicating with intention.
