178. Frank Walker

This episode we talk about sprinting after your dreams. When opportunities arise that gives you the platform to share your gifts and talents, we can’t walk after it, thinking that another great opportunity will come. You have to sprint after it with all of your heart and spirit. 

Sometimes we’re sprinting after someone else’s dream-when you should be in the lane that’s in your zone of genius. Being able to position yourself in the correct lane is going to get you to your finish line.

Brewing some inspiration for your week!

188. Building Community w/ Art House Project

On this episode we talk about Operating from your Potential. If an alternate version of you-a version that’s accomplished all of your dreams and met you, what would they say? Would they encourage you to keep going, or feel ashamed that you didn’t use all of the creative talents and gifts you possess to share on this planet. Are we working from the demands and limitations or others, or the creative potential that you are capable of?

191. Operate From Your Potential

This episode is a quick story about a conversation with a homeless guy one day, doing some volunteer work at Humanity Showers here in Oceanside. I’m really intentional about looking topics or ideas for the show. I do believe that a person off the streets has just as much wisdom as a CEO.  What he said to me made so much sense and could apply across the board on anything that you’re working on achieving. Check this episode out and let me know what you think.

Also I’ve partnered up with art supply company Tombow USA on a Black History collaboration. I’m currently working on a few pieces for this event, where they will be highlighting all kinds of African-American creators, like me, and magnifying Black creators.

208. 3 THINGS I LEARNED FROM THE OLYMPIC TEAM TRIALS

On this episode we are talking about your alter ego and who you represent could help you get to the next level in your creative quest.

Black Mamba, Sasha Fierce (Beyonce), The Rock, Adele. 

These names are synonymous with various attributes, qualities, demeanor, strengths, and resilience. And what you believe to be true has incredible effects on your mind and your body.

The Batman Effect refers to the finding that children perform better on a challenging task if they pretend to be someone else, such as Batman, who would be good at the task.
One of my favorite movies that I refer to often is The Dark Knight rises, the villain Bane talks to Federal agents before he proceeds to kill them, telling them know one knew who he was before he put on the mask.

We put on our personas everyday when we wake up ready to show up in the world. If you had an alter ego who would it be? How would that persona show up? What are the morals, values, etc. that your alter ego would have? What would it represent? What are your non-negotiables in your alter ego’s life?

Did you consider that how we perceive ourselves internally has such a profound experience on our outer expression.
And to add this to the mix there odds are you have already used your alter ego in someway in your life-through tough times as well as times you didn’t think you were enough, but you showed up.
