Maybe you've heard this one before, but I hadn't. It's a concept that many multi-BILLION-dollar companies have used to build a fanbase. We would do well to pay attention...

You feel there are many reasons why you're struggling to break through with your work. I tell you that there are really only two. Everything falls under one of these categories. Let's talk it out!
Be thankful that you don't live in 1899. Or in 1932 when Henry Ford was battling the Auto industry. Matter of fact, be thankful that you are a creator in no other time but TODAY.

I've been thinking about this a lot. I noticed there are TWO main types of problem-solvers out there, and they're VERY different. I had a gut-check moment and I realized we're thinking about this all wrong. So in this episode I challenge you to ask yourself: Am I a Process-First Problem Solver, or a People-First one?
Stephen King knows a thing or two about writing. And about discipline. And about pretty much anything that has to do with being successful with your art.

Expectations are a mother! I'm talking here about expectations before we start a project, but really, it applies to any aspect of life. How we manage our own expectations can be the difference between a long successful career, or quitting three days into a project. In this episode I talk about a chapter from Austin Kleon's book where he describes the "shape" of any creative endeavor. I wish I would've known about this YEARS ago...
Jason Rosario and Claudio Cabrera have accomplished a lot in their young lives, but this endeavor they've just leapt into is not about accomplishment, it's about honoring their worldview.
