Key Insights:
The Essence of Self-Care: In this episode, we dive deep into the concept of self-care, dissecting its true meaning and importance for our overall well-being and mental health. To practice it properly, we must understand what self-care genuinely entails.
Beyond Modern Notions: While a modern movement emphasizes self-care as indulgence and pampering, we challenge these notions. While there may be a time and place for such activities, true self-care goes beyond superficial satisfaction to enrich the soul and fuel creative fulfillment.
Addressing Burnout: Burnout is often a consequence of neglecting authentic self-care. We explore how self-satiation and tuning out might be necessary in times of burnout but emphasize the importance of avoiding burnout altogether through consistent, genuine self-care practices.
The Deception of Distraction: Commonly mistaken for self-care, endless distractions like TV, social media, or video games do not nurture the soul. We unravel the deception behind these activities, emphasizing the need for honest, fulfilling self-care practices.
Real Self-Care Practices: We shift the focus to genuine self-care practices, such as creating, connecting with nature, and giving oneself time to meditate or reflect. These activities enrich the self without succumbing to addiction, distraction, or avoidance strategies.
Enriching Your Life: Join us for a conversation that guides you back to your center, encouraging authentic self-care practices that will fill your well and bring genuine joy into your life. By truly taking care of yourself, you can elevate your well-being and creativity.

Quote:
"Man can only find meaning for his existence in something outside himself."
- Viktor E. Frankl
Key Insights:
The Quest for Meaning: We delve into Viktor E. Frankl's profound quote, "Man can only find meaning for his existence in something outside himself," as we navigate the universal question: "What is our purpose?" This episode tackles the challenge of finding clarity in the pursuit of meaning.
Navigating Life's Big Question: The exploration of purpose is a monumental task, especially when faced with adversity. Together, we confront the existential question: "What is the point?" and seek answers that resonate in both challenging and thriving times.
Viktor Frankl's Wisdom: Drawing inspiration from Frankl's influential work, "Man's Search for Meaning," we uncover the significance of finding purpose not just for survival during difficult times but also for thriving in the good times.
Misguided Notions of Purpose: We acknowledge the possibility of misguided perspectives on our life's purpose at different stages. Revisiting this question becomes a crucial chapter in our personal journey, encouraging us to look deeper as our values evolve with life experiences.
The Evolving Journey: As we explore the depths of our creative souls, we recognize that the quest for purpose is an ongoing journey. Our understanding evolves, and our connection to what matters outside of ourselves requires introspection and adaptation.
Join us for a conversation that goes beyond the surface, tapping into the profound wisdom of Viktor Frankl's words. Together, we look within to discover our connection to what holds meaning in our lives, beyond the boundaries of self.

🎙️ Embracing the Fearless Spirit Within
In this episode, we explore the untamed essence of youth, where the wide-eyed wonder of the unknown propels us forward with tenacity and ferocity. Join us as we discuss how the courage of our younger selves can serve as a guiding light, encouraging us to break free from the limitations imposed by accumulated life experiences.
Key Insights:
The Paradox of Wisdom: While life experience, wisdom, and intelligence are valuable, they can sometimes hinder us by creating a sense of awareness that can breed timidity. The innocence of youth offers a freedom to try and go for something without being in our own way.
Questioning Assumed Knowledge: Challenge the assumption that what we think we know is always accurate. False beliefs and assumed knowledge may limit our potential, and developing the courage to question and reevaluate is crucial as we age.
Overcoming Internal Restrictions: As we grow older, internal restrictions formed through perceptions of life experiences and learned lessons can make us small. Developing courage means overcoming these self-imposed limitations.
Unpacking Others' Fears: Sometimes, the fears of others become our own, shaping our perceptions and holding us back. It's essential to critically assess these influences and distinguish between protective intentions and limiting beliefs.
Embracing the Unknown: Life's potential lies in the unknown, yet the fear of it often hinders us. Revisit the wide-eyed wonder of youth, where the willingness to learn and trust that everything will be okay opens doors to limitless possibilities.
Join us in a conversation that will inspire you to tap into the fearless spirit of your youth, break free from limitations, and rediscover the joy of pursuing endeavors with a sense of wonder and curiosity.

🎙️ What if you Made a Different Decision in Your Life?
In this episode, we tackle the concept of regret and how it plays a part in our lives, whether we are aware of it or not. Sometimes we look at where we are at in life and question if things could have been different. Sometimes we wonder and even wish we made a different choice in the past. This is where regret lives. It is not something we are always aware of.
Key Takeaways:
To Do It Differently Than You Did It: We sometimes wonder if we made the right choices in life or if we went wrong somewhere. Regret can live in this space and go unchallenged.
Pain and the Idea We Have of Ourselves: Who we think we are is not always what we have attributed to ourselves. It is important to not make the pain we feel our identity.
Letting a Part of Yourself Die: As you move through life there is a likelihood that you will grow and evolve as a person. You'll learn new things and part of you may have to die to move on to the new you. You may have to grieve who you once were in the past.
Appreciating What You Have Now: Often we can take for granted the great things we have in our lives now. Sometimes we think that we are missing something, not realizing it means very little compared to what we have now, but may not recognize.
Not Accepting Who You Truly Are: There is the person that we are today and they did not come to be without a few things happening along the way. Accepting who we are is forgiving ourselves for our lives and releasing ourselves of our perceived mistakes.
In this episode, we take on how life seems to have diverging paths at certain moments in our lives and we wonder what might have happened if we went the other way. We question if we made the right choice and sometimes even make the assumption that we made the wrong one. This can be an idea any of us have that is not something we have fully thought out, but we live with it as a regret that is allowed to exist within us unhealed.
Tune in and take a look at how you can better embrace who you are today and the path you are on. You may come to see that it is the best path of all.

🎙️ Exploring the Roots of Confidence
Join us for a deep dive into the world of self-confidence in our latest episode, "Where Confidence Thrives." In this conversation, we unravel the complexities of self-assurance, shedding light on why it can sometimes elude us.
Key Insights:
Avoiding Our Calling: We often create barriers to our true callings, convinced that we must change or improve ourselves before we can pursue our passions.
The Myth of Inadequacy: A lack of confidence stems from an inability to accept ourselves as we are. The belief that we need to be someone else is a fabricated notion that separates us from our authentic selves.

The Journey to Self-Acceptance: We explore the role of results in our endeavours but emphasize that true confidence arises from the intention behind our actions. It's okay to make mistakes in the beginning; confidence comes from genuine attempts and learning along the way.
The Art of Trust: Confidence thrives when we learn to trust ourselves, embrace imperfections, and know that we can handle whatever life throws our way.
Embrace Your Evolution: True confidence lives in the discovery of your evolving self. Release the need to be someone else and allow your transformation to unfold naturally.
In this episode, we embark on a journey to find where confidence truly resides. Join us in uncovering the keys to self-assurance and the path to becoming your most confident, authentic self.

Join us for a thought-provoking journey into the often-underestimated value of time in our lives. In a world that often rushes us toward quick results and instant gratification, we delve into the profound ways in which time can be a silent catalyst for personal growth, evolution, and self-discovery.
Time, as we explore it in this conversation, becomes a vital companion on our life's path. It grants us the gift of reflection, allowing us to ponder and refine our actions before we take them. It's a conversation that challenges the traditional narrative of goals, suggesting that the true essence of our journey lies not solely in the accomplishments or the finish line but in the transformative process itself.
Together, we venture deep into the emotional landscape of goals—uncovering the exhilaration of accomplishment, the resilience born from failures, and the intricate dance between purpose and moments of dissatisfaction or discouragement.
We'll also scrutinize what drives us as we pursue our aspirations and the distinctive value each goal carries within. What happens when we don't set goals? What are the potential downsides, and why do goals remain a cornerstone of personal development?
By the end of this conversation, you'll gain a fresh perspective on the profound role of time in our lives, understanding why it's not merely a dimension but a priceless asset for personal growth. The journey is just as significant as the destination, and it's time we explore why.
Episode Highlights:
Redefining the role of time in our personal growth.
Exploring the emotional dimensions of goals and achievements.
The value of resilience in the face of failure.
The intricate connection between purpose and moments of dissatisfaction.
The internal worth embedded within each goal, transcending mere accomplishment.
Prepare to reframe your understanding of time as a powerful force that shapes our experiences and fuels our continuous evolution. It's time to embrace the profound interplay between time and our journey through life.

We draw inspiration from the world of video games to explore the fascinating concept of how limitations fuel higher forms of creativity and result in better final products.
Just like in a challenging video game level, when we're confronted with limitations, it becomes a catalyst for innovation and forces us to tap into our creative reserves to solve problems. Think of it as a puzzle, where we must find unique ways to navigate through obstacles.
We'll delve into the unexpected benefits of constraints, akin to the early days of horror movies. Back then, tight budgets limited the use of prosthetics, animatronics, and CGI, prompting filmmakers to cleverly conceal the monster from the audience's view. This ingenious approach ignited the audience's imagination, making the monster even scarier and the movie more gripping.
Contrast this with modern cinema, where seemingly unlimited resources allow for excessive use of CGI and makeup, often revealing the monster in all its glory. Ironically, this abundance of exposure can lead to a diminished sense of fear, making the movie less captivating.
Join us for a thought-provoking conversation as we unravel how these principles resonate not only in the world of video games but also across various creative domains. Discover how limitations can be your greatest asset on the journey to unlocking unparalleled creativity.
Tune in and let's explore the art of turning constraints into opportunities!

In a world that often encourages us to focus narrowly on our immediate surroundings, it's easy to lose sight of the profound interconnectedness of life itself. Join us on a transformative journey as we explore the tantalizing notion that seeing the bigger picture can expand your horizons, shift your perceptions, and lead to a deeper sense of connection and empowerment.
We all tend to live in our own silos, wrapped up in the everyday details of our lives. But as we peel back the layers and gradually grasp the intricate web of connections that thread through everything around us, the world takes on a breathtakingly complex and beautiful dimension. Yet, it can also feel overwhelming, like trying to drink from a firehose of knowledge.
In this episode, we unravel the challenge of navigating this newfound awareness. We dive into the paradox that expanding your understanding of the world can, at first, make you feel less in control. We explore why this discomfort often leads us to keep our world small when, in reality, embracing the vastness of existence can lead to profound personal growth.
But what if there's a different path? What if, instead of retreating from the unknown, we embraced it with confidence? Together, we'll discover the transformative power of stepping beyond our comfort zones and embracing the mysteries of the universe.
Prepare to embark on a journey of enlightenment as we discuss practical strategies for expanding your world without losing yourself in the process. It's a voyage that may just change the way you perceive yourself, your life, and your infinite connections to the greater cosmos.
Episode Highlights:
The challenge of embracing the interconnectedness of life.
How expanding your worldview can initially feel overwhelming.
Strategies for maintaining control while embracing the unknown.
Personal growth through a deeper understanding of your place in the universe.
Join us for an eye-opening conversation that promises to expand your horizons and inspire you to confidently embrace the boundless connections that surround you.

Art is not limited to grand canvases or towering sculptures; it permeates every facet of our existence. From the way we decorate our homes to the melodies that move us, art is an integral part of our daily lives.
We discuss how the simple act of creation, whether through painting, music, story writing, moviemaking or any other medium, can be a deeply cathartic and transformative experience, a journey into the inner sanctum of one's soul. Join us on this inspiring voyage as we unveil the profound connection between art and our shared humanity. Discover how, in a world filled with noise, chaos, and division, art remains the universal language that unites us all, touching the very essence of our souls.

This episode was inspired by a breakout song from a musician who caught millions of people's attention overnight. This is what we call a true voice that happened to cut through all the noise out there and stand out in the world.
...Have you heard the song...?
"Rich Men North of Richmond"
- by: Oliver Anthony

Sometimes a piece of art breaks through and makes an impact on society in a big way. Why is that? What makes it resonate with so many people and causes them to share it with others? We wanted to dig into this. We get into pulling deep from our souls and expressing ourselves through some form of creativity or art. Join us for this conversation and if you have anything to add to it please leave a comment. We would love to hear your thoughts if you have some!

What is your capacity to respond when something challenging happens? For all of us, our reaction to something unexpected or disappointing happening can derail us. In this conversation, we wanted to look at the master artist's approach to this.
Life will not always go the way we want it to. Live enough life and this truth becomes very evident. Yet, despite knowing this, it is not always easy to accept and deal with. In fact, sometimes the fear of things not working out or going wrong will cause us to avoid something we want altogether. If we look at life with a little more creativity and artistry though it may give us some more options. It may give us the ability to do the things that are in our hearts, but we put off. Join us as we venture down the path of navigating reactions by turning them into powerful responses.

How you see the world not only influences your experience of it, it influences who you are in it. If you don't see things working out, they likely won't. Yet, if you see yourself finding a way through a challenge, you probably will. We decided that hope can serve us all so we dive into it in this conversation and aim to figure out how so. Do you embrace hope in your life, or do you abandon it when trouble appears on the horizon? How do you look at the future? Sometimes the odds are stacked against us and all we have left is hope. So maybe hope is a perception and maybe it is one of our superpowers that brings the best out of us and all those around us.

Do you always tell yourself the truth? Funny question, right? As it turns out, we all have a little difficulty being fully self-aware. As creators of our lives, it serves us to know our truth and this episode is all about how to get down to it. One of the things we get into is how to become a little more sensitive to our feelings so that we can see what is really going on within us. There is a tendency to avoid how we truly feel though because we are trying to manage our lives and not give into difficult emotions or allow them to make us break down. The problem is, when we deny our emotions we sometimes deny our truth as well. There are greater consequences that can come with doing this over time. We wanted to look at how to approach this challenge in a way that is not only more healthy, but also in a way that allows us to walk away from our truth feeling better. As a master artist of your life, it is about allowing our truth to serve our life and other's lives, in a greater way.

What are the core elements of storytelling? Why do they matter? How is it that after all this time making movies, we sometimes miss great opportunities to truly have the audience connect with our films? We dive into it and uncover some cool things. We may be due for a revolution when it comes to the medium of moviemaking. So in this talk, we decided to focus on the entertainment industry and dig into why some of the big movies bomb sometimes and small indie films create such a buzz that they outperform the blockbusters. If you are in the film industry, or you want to be, this may be an informative talk so join in and let us know your thoughts if you have anything to add to this conversation.

Having a sense of humour is something you develop. It is a skill to learn how to be funny yourself, but before you can do that you have to learn how to recognize what is funny. Do you ever stop to think about why we laugh and what causes it? On this episode, we decided to dig into it a little deeper. We wanted to ask; what makes something funny and why does it make it so? We identified some of the most obvious things right away, but as the conversation got going we tapped into some of the more specific details that don't always get airtime. As we kept it light, we also found a few moments of depth, which always makes these talks so interesting for both of us. Join us for this one and if you have anything to add, please do!

How do you manage chaos in your life? Can chaos be good? Is there a hidden potential that exists within it? Join us for a conversation on how we can respond to chaos and allow it to serve us in our creative lives.
We had a month-long break from our last conversation so there was a lot to catch up on. Both of us had a bunch of things to bring to the conversation. What we stumbled upon was this idea of "chaos" and what role it plays in our lives. Sometimes the excitement of the adventure we want in ourselves comes from things that we don't fully understand. Things that are not necessarily in our control. There may be surprises and all sorts of things that come up unexpectedly. Maybe that is where the art lives within us though and how we respond to it is the discovery of what our creative expression truly is.

Don't force it. Work with the thing that is there, the thing that has shown up for you. Most of us are conditioned to make things go our way, but we miss all sorts of opportunities when we give into this limited form of thinking. There is something to having determination and perseverance, but that journey toward the vision is going to take you in all sorts of ways you don't expect. Sometimes the best path is not the most direct path. Creativity will often demand you take the windy road, the long road or even the harder road. There may be something you need to acquire along the way that is more important than the destination itself. You won't know what that is until you have stumbled upon it. So embrace the path you walk and trust that the road leads you to your vision no matter how far off track it seems to go at times. If you are lucky it will take you on an adventure and one day you may just find that the journey was the point all along.

Every now and then we visit a powerful quote that we come across and we break it down through the lens of an artist.
"We cannot teach people anything, we can only help them discover it within themselves"
- Galileo Galilei
In exploring this idea we discuss how it is necessary to make something your own before you can learn it. The teacher can teach their wisdom, but the student must be willing to figure it out for themselves on some level. There is a process of learning where it becomes a part of you in some way and we all have to come to each wisdom when we are ready.

What is your life beyond your comfort? It is easy to settle into a way of life that becomes consistent and predictable, but maybe there is something in our hearts that we want beyond this. We decided to discuss what it means to choose your own adventure.
Starting this conversation we looked at risk and responsibility as separate things, you could choose one or the other. Part way through we came to the realization that they are actually both sides of the same coin. We discovered that the best choice of action is to do both things at the same time. The question then is:
"What is the most amount of responsibility and risk I can take at the same time?"
So instead of choosing one or the other, risk or responsibility, you instead choose both in varying degrees when deciding upon the adventure you'll set out on. This way the risk is not careless and you can feel good about what you put on the line as you go after your heart's desire. An adventure will inevitably have its ups and downs, but this way you'll be able to traverse it with a sense of confidence and care.

As you put your attention on something it begins to take on a life of its own. You begin to engage in a relationship with it and there is a sensibility that you develop in the process. This becomes your understanding of order and priority.
With every decision we make there is a balance between rationale and emotion. We often need to consider both sides in the decisions we make. In some cases, allowing emotion to drive us can help us access our motivation to take action. At other times, it may wiser to think it out before we do anything rash. Developing a sensibility about what to do or what not to do is about knowing when to favour either emotion or rationale. It is about gaining a sense of balance between the two and coming to an awareness of how to navigate them both at the same time. In this talk, we wanted to discuss what it means to develop our sensibilities around decisions and help us all make choices from the best place possible.

The fear of rejection is one of the biggest challenges we face. It can create a denial of the truth that exists within us and override our better judgment. We dive into these things with the intention of coming out more aware of how to navigate these limiting ways of doing life.
Unless we challenge our fears, and further, confront our denial of them, we will not see how they are playing out in our lives and holding us back. Let's take a moment to discuss this and find ways to navigate these things with more wisdom and poise. Let's confront concepts like rejection, denial and fear so they don't get to live rent-free in our lives, going unchecked, while they stand in our way.

Sometimes when things are not going as planned they may be going better than you realize. Life can have a way of informing creativity without the creative mind realizing it. Then you approach your work and the well is overflowing and you are more ready than you ever could have been otherwise. In this conversation, we dig into the life we live behind the things we create and build. At times you may need to allow life to seemingly take you off course so that you can find your way. There may be a path out there that you will only find yourself on if you get knocked off of the course you are on.

The wisdom and guidance that would best serve you may be your own. So why don't we look inside for answers more often? Maybe we doubt ourselves. Maybe we convince ourselves we don't have the answers. But maybe looking to ourselves is exactly what we need to do.
There are words that many of us can have resistance to because at some point they were misused by someone else. There comes a point where we need to take them back and define a new relationship with them for ourselves. If they give us an access point to our higher self and our deeper wisdom we must be careful about disbanding them. Join us in a conversation that helps us all look within for what we need to hear most, and just maybe, we can listen to ourselves a little better.

Two people climb a mountain. One complains about how exhausting it is and they suffer all the way to the top. The other person appreciates how the mountain is getting them to the view and enjoys the journey. How do you see your climb in life?
How you see things can make a world of difference in your experience. We are all artists when it comes to perspective because we each have the opportunity to see the same thing in a different way. Whether we realize it or not, we are all looking for better perspectives because they put us in a better position for what we want in life. Dive into a talk where we explore another way of looking at things.

Do you ever find yourself with an idea for something that you would like to create? Maybe it is writing a book or building a business. This talk is about helping you take the first step toward going for it. It is actually very common for us to doubt ourselves when it comes to creativity and bringing something new into the world. We can convince ourselves that we don't know what we are doing and don't know where to start. Often, you may find that you know more than you think you do. Sometimes all we need is a little encouragement and something that prompts us into action. We wanted to talk about the mind frame of what it means to go after the creative call and give that impulse attention.

What if maturing into mastery has something to do with this first experience? There is a bridge to cross from beginner to master at anything you do and we wanted to discuss what that is. There is an experience of not only getting better at the skills necessary but also a shift in the one who is applying them.

Things can get complex and we can lose sight of what matters most when there seems to be too much going on. Creative people can find themselves overwhelmed by spinning too many plates at once. This is about getting down to what matters most so the rest that is going on is not a distraction. Everything has the potential to become overly complicated, difficult and overwhelming. In this talk, we look closer at what it means to identify and focus on the main thing. This is about identifying the foundations that hold everything up and being clear about what matters most so that what matters gets the most attention. Then we can build upon it effectively. All the other details come together as long as you keep "the main thing" the main thing. So we ask... what is that?

What does it mean to win at life? We take things beyond the obvious ideas presented by culture and look deeper for the answers. This is a search for finding an authentic sense of meaning all for yourself. There are many things that tell us what to deem as important. The messaging comes from media, culture, society, our parents and our peer groups. Just because people make these things important does not mean they are the factors that determine if you are winning at life or not.

This episode is about helping the artist have a shift in perspective about the challenges they face. If you are facing something difficult, consider whether you chose the path you are on or not. If the path you are on was your choice it makes sense to embrace the challenges you are facing since they are a part of getting where you are going. Everything is prepping yourself for the moment you want when you get your shot. So think of these challenges as a part of the process of building yourself into who you need to be when you arrive there. Join us for the conversation to take a deeper dive into these concepts.

There are times when we can feel out of control and that can cause us to lose our sense of composure with what we are trying to do. Consider that on the path to wherever you are going there will be times when having a sense of control is not possible. In these times you need to have a little faith that it will be okay and that it's a part of finding your way. This is a talk about what to do when things are not going as planned. There is a composure that the master artist needs to develop in these times, which will allow them to simply trust the process and go along for the ride. Eventually, they will get control back, but only if they can accept and embrace going without it some of the time.

In many ways, personal growth is inevitable, but it seems to occur in the struggles we face along the way. Moving from where we are to where we want to be. In the gap. So maybe learning to appreciate this time in the journey is more necessary. When there is resistance and challenges that are in our way we can get frustrated and overwhelmed if we don't know how to overcome them. Instead of letting those emotions run the show, it might be better to appreciate these moments. You'll be better on the other side of it and maybe that is the point. Maybe that is what we need to value. Join us for a conversation that explores the gap of personal growth and why it is something we should want more of in our lives because it means we are growing as a person, as an artist, or in whatever we are doing.

What makes something entertaining? Is there such a thing as pure entertainment? Does it have different expectations than the art that is designed for different reasons? We take on these questions and more in this conversation. In this conversation, we focused on the "Popcorn Entertainment" of movies. What one film must deliver on versus another to meet the expectations of the audience and deliver them the experience they are looking for. So join us for a fun talk that leads to some interesting insights.

Are you taking your space, allowing your voice to be heard and doing your thing fully? If not you may be apologizing by being smaller than you should be. Maybe it's time to explore what it would look like if you were as big and loud as you are meant to be! This is a conversation about taking your shot and not pulling your punches. Instead, it is about giving people and the world the fullness of who you are and what you can offer. Things will never be perfect so at some point you just have to put it out there and see what happens. It can be a frightening step to take, but it is a necessary step for every artist out there.

This is an artist wisdom series where we pull a quote from a famous artist. On this one, we chose Robert Frost, who said:
"Anything more than the truth would be too much."
Just a heads up... in the recording of this episode we had a few technical challenges from doing it remotely. It was still a very good conversation, so we still decided to release it, but we wanted to let you know, just so you were aware.

There is expansion into life or retraction from it. What path are you on? What path do you want to be on? In this episode, we take on our worst enemy... ourselves. Maybe you have heard this idea thrown around, but do you know how you could be working against yourself? Do you understand why you might do it? No person gets through life without having at least one confrontation with doubt. Those who set out to do big things will face it all the more. In this talk, we discuss how to overcome it, deal with it and not let it get in the way of the wonderful things we could do in this life. Join us and if you have any thoughts, comment and let us know your insights or experiences.

You can learn how to do something, but there is a territory to explore beyond all that. Beyond the technique. It's in the doing of it, that you discover something... maybe yourself. In this talk, we explore that unknown area where the artist must go into to find out what they are really up to. The technique they learned may have helped them get there, but once they arrive it's suddenly all new once again. This is a talk about what is beyond technique and how to get the most out of being in that place.

How does confidence work? Do you ever feel like you could use more of it? We take on questions like this and dig into what confidence is and offer up a few interesting ways to look at it. Maybe confidence is something that goes through stages and we have to grow into it. We consider how confidence begins in childhood, we lose touch with it through painful experiences and must find ways to rebuild it as we mature. Join us!

How do you do with being alone? Conscious solitude is an important part of an artist's journey since it gives us a break from being under the influence of outside things. The feelings of loneliness that may come up can cause us to avoid going off on our own, but we want to challenge this whole idea. No matter how alone we may seem to be, there is a connection to others we may not be aware of. We dig into this and uncover some interesting insights. Join us for this powerful talk as we start the new year.

There is a battle with the ego that every great person must face. There is this power that is within you that wants to create certain things, to do certain things, and when it is not honoured it can go from a creative energy to a destructive force. So how do you put your manufactured ego aside and honour your true self instead? You may have to go through the infamous ego death. To die to this thing that you think you are or have to be, so you can be who you are meant to be. We get into all of this. Join us.

A great way to start a conversation is to talk about movies that have impacted you in some form or another. In this discussion that's exactly what we chose to do. The talk led to some really cool places. With the context of a few movies, we were inspired to explore art and creativity in new ways. We also get into music and other creative mediums, including the artist's journey. It all relates and leads back to the core principles of living a meaningful, connected life. Join us for a conversation that may inspire you to tap into something deeper with the movies you watch.

Whenever we set out to do something meaningful, that we truly care about, that matters to us, doubts will be following close behind. Maybe this is not such a bad thing, maybe instead, there I something to learn from them.
When you are in a place of doubt you are likely thinking about yourself. An approach that can help is to put your focus on others and how you can contribute to them. By doing this you will begin to see your value and what you can offer. Join us for a conversation that may help you confront your doubts in a way that allows them to serve you instead of allowing them to just hold you back.

Instead of what are you working on, what's working on you? There is often more at play than we realize. As we are focused on doing our thing something is being built in the background of our lives. In this conversation, we get into the deeper connections that are always at play for a creative being. We are often completely unaware of them until one day we stop and see how much has happened without us even noticing. Join us!
