Today’s guest, KiriLeigh Jones, isn’t afraid to share her work nor flex her talent on anything that can become a canvas.
She’s a creative free spirit who spreads good vibes throughout the world with her vibrant and hella detailed masterpieces.

In this episode, Kiri and I go deep on:
If you’re interested in painting murals or just expressing your creativity on a bigger level, then you’re going to dig the energy Kiri brings to this one.

Part 1/3 of The Blaze Your Own Path Series was all about getting started, believing it’s possible, and breaking away from the lie you’ve been sold.
Part 2/3 was about investing in yourself and finding what works best for you vs. mimicking your idol’s footsteps.
We close the series with Part 3/3 which focuses on breeding a pro mindset and taking massive, uncomfortable action.
The goal of this episode is to empower you to:
- Eliminate victim mentality
- Gain a mental edge and taking initiative in life
- Take yourself and your work more seriously
No one is going to make your creative dream happen for you.
Keep your eyes on the prize, be persistent, and stay in the game—your breakthroughs will come.

What’s your definition of success, and how do you know when you’ve “made” it?
What if you hit your big target, yet never truly “make” it, because you’re always hunting another bigger target to aim for?
That’s the goal of my homie Francisco Reyes, the mastermind behind the alias Never Made.
His side hustle pursuits have landed him big time collabs with the likes of The Hundreds, Obey Clothing, Red Bull, The Los Angeles Clippers, Disney, Zumiez, and Urban Outfitters to name a few.
In this episode, we go deep on:
If you’re ready to roll your sleeves up, do the work, and play the long game, you’re going to dig this episode.
