We all have things that zap our time and energy. Many we are aware of, some we're not. Big confession: some of these took way longer to address than I care to admit.

Over the pandemic I employeed a few different personal experiements that ended up changing my life for the better. In this episode I share what I tried and how it helped.

These have been some of the biggest game-changers to doing more of what I want, and less of what drains me.

From Intern to Dream Job: What I Look For When Hiring New Talent Nov 02, 2022

Show notes

At the starting point of our creative journey, we make choices that will either drive us toward what we want or drive us away from it. At the time, we might not even realize what's driving us. We think outside forces play a bigger role than internal determination and intuition, which in the end is the reason we arrive anywhere. Norton Zanini is a Florida-based photographer and creative entrepreneur who left his home in Brazil at the age of 17 to come to the US to pursue his passion in photography and film. With no money, education, experience, or prospects, he shares how he turned his dream into a reality.

What he did, got him noticed and an opportunity he needed to break-in. But it was not easy, and it certainly wasn't overnight. Norton started at my photography studio as an intern over a dozen years ago and has been working with me ever since. He grew his career from intern, to production assistant, to studio manager, to content creator.

Norton's story reminds us there's no competition to persistance, perserverance, and diving in with your whole heart.

The Myth of the Starving Artist Oct 24, 2022

Show notes

The stubborn myth of the "starving artist," the threadbare but exuberant poet who has to choose between ink and food, isn't just false, it's toxic.

In this episode, we talk about how believing in the myth is a self-fulfilling prophecy and how we can start to change our attitudes toward money.
