Expectations absolutely CAN suck, mainly because they can keep you in that stage or dreaming and idolizing the future for a very long time. Over time if we stay in that state long enough we can become dissatisfied with the now and the reality. We can become unhappy. Hell we can even become depressed. So how do we stop this?

I am very passionate about pricing your work correctly because that is what will sustain you in the long run.

1:19:57

Remember when your mind was free to wander and to dream and had almost no grown up limitations or influences. What a magical time that was. What a TRUE time that was.

So many journey's in life can be long without us even knowing it. What happens when we end up at a destination that we truly love and that truly aligns with us?

Optimism is really hard work, but you need it. (047) 52:35

52:35

Optimism is NOT positivity. Had to get that out the way right away because I hear people groaning already, so stuff that thought.

Times and life can have a million obstacles and be very rocky but you can come out i…

Ep. 41 - 5 Tips to help you try it all 47:25

10M ago47:25

47:25

One of the best ways to do more cool shit is to get better at trying a whole bunch of stuff.

No matter what in life, and maybe even moreso, in creativity we have to really understand that CHANGE is going to happen.

After many years of working and coaching and learning and leading I …

1:24:43

I really felt like the 15 Minute Friday was a good start to the topic of, What gives you energy? What gets you out of bed in the morning?

Ep.19 - Look for the good - Fifteen Minute Friday 15:27

3y ago15:27

15:27

One of the reasons we don't get on a roll doing more cool shit is our ability to get stuck in the negative. I think it is a profound and helpful skill to temper our minds, to train our brains to help us see the good, to find the light to move forward toward. It's not always easy to do this but is it ever an addition to ourselves and how we live whe…

We get fed stories of overnight successes all the time but do I actually think there are that many actual overnight successes, no. I think there are very few overnight successes.

Almost no one out there has alllllll their shit together. Some are better at hiding it than others. Some are working really hard to cover it up. Some don't know they don't have it together. But it's true, imposter syndrome effects many many people, especially the creatives of this world. We can however, take comfort though in numbers. We can also t…
