Welcome to COURAGEOUS AF

Being Human Takes Guts

Today's episode is my conversation with Jacques Delorme, a man who survived an incredibly traumatic accident that changed his life.

Trigger warning: This episode is graphic and shares details about an accident involving a pedestrian and a vehicle. Please take care while listening, and if sensitive to graphic content, I advise skipping this one. I think his story is incredible, and it's hard to hear. But what he had done to heal and now help others is important to share with you.

* Trauma recovery and resilience * Mindset and habit development * Morning routines and self-care practices

Episode Description

Welcome to COURAGEOUS AF

Being Human Takes Guts

I'm thrilled to share another conversation with my guest, Scott Sava - an incredible artist, author, and awesome human.

His book, "Becoming an Artist" is available on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1401996930/?bestFormat=true&k=becoming%20an%20artist&ref_=nb_sb_ss_w_scx-ent-pd-bk-d_de_k0_1_18&crid=2VLKKMUPQWD2O&sprefix=becoming%20an%20artist

Scott Christian Sava is an artist, animator, illustrator, director, writer, producer, and part-time Hobbit! Over the last 30 years, Scott's work has brought some of the world's most beloved characters to life in film, television, comics, and games, from Casper the Friendly Ghost to the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers to Star Trek to Spider-Man. Scott's unique talents and vision have been called upon by Marvel Comics, Disney, Universal Studios, Nickelodeon, and more.

In 2000, he founded Blue Dream Studios, which has produced work for Star Wars, X-Files, Aliens vs. Predator, Spider-Man, and other franchises, in addition to creating its own line of kids' graphic novels. The studio's first feature film, Animal Crackers, is on Netflix and was the summer of 2020's #1 animated movie in the world.

Currently, you can find Scott making videos online to his over 4 million followers where he talks about art, autism, and how to be a kinder artist… and human.

Scott lives with his wife and two kids in a Hobbit Hole in Tennessee. Scott's mission, simply put, is to "make the world a kinder, gentler place, one story at a time."

Welcome to the COURAGEOUS AF podcast

Being Human Takes Guts

Now more than ever, we need to celebrate the little (or big) wins in our lives. We MUST. In this episode I share about a recent and amazing experience that reminded me to stop, take a deep breath, and BE in the moment when something good happens, when we accomplish a task, a dream, or anything in between.

Welcome to the COURAGEOUS AF podcast

Being Human Takes Guts

In this week's episode, I am announcing a short break from the podcast. Between now and the end of the year, instead of releasing a weekly podcast, I will drop new episodes as I am able, while I focus on some big life and work projects that need more of my attention right now.

I hope to be back weekly by January 2026. If you'd like to help make that happen, I'd be grateful for your support, whether it be by sharing and helping to promote this podcast, and/or by donating to help support it financially. You can do that by Venmo: @Kyle-Hollingsworth-1 or by the buy me a coffee link below. :)

Being Human Takes Guts

Today I share about a recent experience where I had a magical encounter with wild horses, followed by a panic attack that seemed to come out of nowhere. This episode focuses on body image and the impact of being shamed from a young age about my body. I hope you gain insights from it.
