Summary
On this episode of Plants & Beats , Rob Bell ( @byrobbell ) sits down with photographer Nick Koch , better known as @ rocstreetphoto . Nick shares his journey from leaving high school early to building a career in the same industry for decades, where he became a Zamboni expert while continuing to pursue photography as a creative outlet. He also opens up about living with chronic pain caused by a medical condition and how cultivating cannabis became part of his personal healing journey. This week's featured plant is the Cannabis Sativa. While often surrounded by debate, cannabis has a long history as both a medicinal and agricultural plant. Like growing tomatoes, cultivating healthy cannabis requires attention to light, water, nutrients, and timing. As always, the conversation is anchored by a lo-fi soundtrack produced and mixed by Aloefi ( @al0efi ).
