Episode 546. Reflecting on Mexican Culture to Find Inspiration with Leopoldo Gout

Radically Loved with Rosie Acosta

This week on Radically Loved, Leopoldo Gout joins Rosie Acosta and Tessa Tovar to explore the themes of friendship, empowerment, storytelling, and representation in Mexican culture. Leopoldo discusses the influence of his mother, a powerful Mexican feminist, on his work and the importance of curiosity, imagination, and acceptance. He also talks about blending ancient and modern themes in his art and storytelling, drawing inspiration from his experiences growing up in Mexico City and his discovery of his Zapotec heritage. The conversation touches on the challenges and privileges of working in the entertainment industry and the importance of supporting and uplifting each other.
