A Phil Svitek Podcast - A Series From Your 360 Creative Coach

This bonus episode is an interview I did with Ally Nasta for another  show called Open Source Knowledge. That podcast is no longer active but  the information is very much still relevant because it’s a great  companion piece to Phil's latest lesson on budgeting. The interview goes  much deeper into finances so you can explore the concepts more  meaningfully. Here is the original description from that episode: 

Hosts Phil Svitek and Ally Nasta interview Vito Gutilla about the various schools of thought on economic theory. They break down the definition of the economy and how individuals can affect it both negatively and positively.

Phil Svitek and Ally Nasta explore the world of personal finance. To give them initial pointers and insights, they interview Chelsea Galicia, co-founder of the Financially Fit Foundation (http://financiallyfitfoundation.org/). With her help, they debunk common myths about budgeting, spending and saving. Chelsea gives them great step by step instructions to truly track where their money is going so they too can be “financially fit”. The lessons are easily applicable for anyone, so don't hesitate to try. Here's some resources that Phil and Ally looked at the interview with Chelsea:

It’s a brand new year and many of us have made new year’s resolutions in order to accomplish what we want. But what about our finances? Have you thought about those? Budgeting is the first step to financial freedom and in this lesson I (Phil Svitek) highlight the methods that Financially Fit Foundation’s Chelsea Galicia used to teach me about my wealth management. It may seem like a scary or intimidating subject, but as creatives it is ultra important that we are aware of our spending - otherwise how else will we achieve our dreams? The steps given are easy and practical. They’re designed to get you started. You won’t be where you ultimately want to end up, but you can’t get there without doing this first. So, as scared as you might be, check out this episode and gain control of your financial life today! Also, as a bonus, I’m reposting past interviews that pertain to finances on the audio podcast this week (sorry, I don’t have video versions of these). Be sure to check those out as well for more info and please comment below with any thoughts, opinions, questions or even recommendations. Thank you.

AJ Jacobs recently released a book called Thanks a Thousand: A Gratitude Journey where he chronicles his journey of individually thanking all the people responsible for his coffee in the morning. This includes the factory worker than ensures health safety measures. This includes the workers where the coffee beans originated from. It even includes the person who painted the lines on the road so that the truck driver who then transports the coffee had a proper road to drive on. If you really think about it, that’s a lot of people that are responsible for his coffee (and yours). The process really made him appreciate life more and solidified for me (Phil Svitek) a notion that Tony Robbins and many other thought leaders have preached, which is become more grateful in your life. Doing so will bring you appreciation and joy towards life like nothing else. Especially in today’s day and age, we may feel disconnected from other people whether by physical distances or by differing thoughts. But when you start applying the type of thinking that I explore in this quick lesson, you’ll start to realize how interconnected we all really are. It will give you a sense of pride, passion and encouragement. I highlight key takeaways I learned from the book and why it’s imperative that creatives embrace a life of gratitude in order to be fulfilled not only creatively but in all aspects of life. This lesson comes just in time for 2018’s holiday season and I encourage you to take advantage of this time to practice gratitude and to carry it forward into the new year so you can apply this mentality towards your projects and see how it benefits you. (If you’re watching this in the “future” then just pick a different milestone as your starting point. Make it simple. It can be today!) Comment below with questions or comments.

Technology is neither good nor bad. It depends on how you use it and as I (Phil Svitek) note, too often creatives shy away from it. Their ambitions often times suffer because of it. It can take longer to accomplish something if at all. By learning technology, an artist can be liberated and achieve their greatest dreams. Filmmaker Robert Rodriguez is a strong advocate of learning technology as a means to enhance projects. Technology, when used right, is empowering. You don’t have to rely on others for help. You can do it yourself. In this lesson, I showcase the importance technology can play in your creative endeavours as well as pointing you in the right direction of places to learn more. Such examples include YouTube tutorials, Lynda.com, Skillshare.com, the magazine racks at a bookstore like Barnes and Noble, the library, trade shows and most importantly just a simple internet search. I also encourage a networking group of like-minded people for you to connect with in order to learn from each other especially in this rapidly changing landscape. Don’t worry, I give you steps to make that happen! Comment below with questions or comments and also what equipment, software, etc you have found beneficial in your life.

This weekend I (Phil Svitek) met with a lot of hosts during the AfterBuzz TV annual end of year summit. What I discovered was that many of them had the same fears and doubts which boiled down to this idea that they weren’t where they ultimately wanted to be or that they haven’t yet discovered their true purpose. It hit me that many artists must feel this way. I sure have and at times this feeling creeps back up. So, in this lesson, I’ll provide you with the same advice I shared with the AfterBuzzers I met with over the weekend. I explore how to find your purpose and why it’s not as far off as you might have imagined. It just begins with action. Without action, you’ll never discover your passions and what you’re good at. I highlight a bit of my own journey from wanting to become a film editor to being AfterBuzz TV’s Chief Operating Officer. I also pinpoint where the doubt stems from within ourselves. Utilizing a James Cameron quote, I’ll help dispel the notion of what’s possible and what’s not. Because let’s face it, as artists, we all have lofty ambitions. So stop succumbing to your fears and doubts and create the life you’re meant to have - after you discover what that actually is :) Enjoy the episode and comment below with any thoughts, questions, feedback, etc.

We all have everyday tasks that we must knockout (laundry, grocery shopping, responding to emails, etc). These are called maintenance tasks. But they don’t further you towards your dreams. So the question becomes, what options do we have to ease our lives with these maintenance tasks so we can tackle more of what are called growth tasks daily? Good question! And that’s what I (Phil Svitek) will teach you today. I will explore the 6 various methods at your disposal. I cite examples such as Beyonce, Gandhi, ABC’s Shark Tank, AfterBuzz TV’s Maria Menounos and Keven Undergaro and others to help illustrate my points better. I’ll provide step by step instructions so you know exactly how to emulate these titans. So go ahead, check out the episode and try these techniques and see how they work out for you. Also, feel free to comment below with any suggestions you might have, or of course ask a question about specifics for your own situation.

Procrastination is a beast many of us fight daily and unfortunately lose out to. We may have will power that allow us to gain small victories but the war ends up being lost via abandoned passion projects and other dreams. So how do we win this ongoing struggle and become more productive like the people we aspire to be, whether that be Oprah, The Rock, Kevin Hart, Tyler Perry, Maria Menounos or even AfterBuzz TV creator Keven Undergaro? The answer is simpler than you think and it’s scientifically proven to work through a technique called implementation intention, which empowers the prefrontal cortex and hacks the limbic system thanks to procedural memory. Join me (Phil Svitek) as I take you step by step through the entire process so you can take action and accomplish more of what you want in your life. I’ll help you identify growth tasks vs maintenance tasks among other things. Don’t worry. It’s all simple - it just takes work, like all things. Comment below with any thoughts, questions or opinions you may have for me or Juliet Vibert.

Keven Undergaro, AfterBuzz TV’s creator and one of the most influential people in my (Phil Svitek) life, foretold a decade ago that one day, if I subscribed to what he calls the samurai lifestyle, I’d be amazed at what I’d accomplish. First off, the samurai lifestyle is really simple. It demands a focus on the craft and eliminating distractions that take away from your work. Secondly, he was absolutely right. I am truly amazed at all the wonderful opportunities and achievements I’ve been a part of in my professional career over the past 15 years. In this lesson, I want to highlight the importance of taking a moment to reflect back on past accomplishments. Too many times we’re go, go go! It makes us lose sight of why we are doing what we’re doing and it takes the joy out. Life is meant to be enjoyed. You can find happiness in anything. So discover how gratitude can help create momentum to move you forward to new objectives with a sense of passion and purpose! I’ll give you techniques of how to see the beauty in yourself and the world so you can enjoy life. Comment below with any thoughts, questions or opinions you may have for me or Juliet Vibert.
