January 29, 2019 216 - The Thing That's Always Held You Back & The Scientific Way to Defeat It
The New Year is an exciting time but often the excitement is short lived. We have such high hopes for all the changes we're going to make, but most often our hopes are crushed by someone who's very hard to defeat: OURSELVES!
YES. The OLD YOU you want to leave behind is the number 1 thing standing in the way of the NEW YOU you'd like to become and if you try to repress this OLD YOU it just seems to get stronger!
So I guess we should all just give up right?
NO! You have so much untapped potential and there are a few principles that will help you unleash your BEST SELF from the confines of your OLD SELF.
In this episode I want to share what's helped me become a better version of myself and ultimately become the type of person that can build and wield a thriving creative career!

This episode is just what you need if you want to make a living doing creative work you love, without having to win the creative career lottery of randomly going viral or being famous!

January 15, 2019 214 - How to Send E-Mails that Change Your Life & MORE (BEST YEAR YET 2019 Pt 2 of 2)
The most important part of business is sales and the number 1 rule in sales is this: BELIEVE IN YOUR PRODUCT! You see, if you TRULY believe in your product and believe it will enrich the lives of your customers, you'll see marketing as a public service. If you have something that will really make people's lives better, you owe it to them to spread the word!
This is even more true in creative careers and creative business! You owe it to your potential true fans to get your work in front of them!
In this episode we share numbers 7 - 12 of our FRESH TACTICS for direct marketing so that you can make 2019 your best year yet!
This episode also features SPECIAL GUEST Kyle Scheele. Kyle is a full time public speaker and out of everyone I know he is the BEST at email cold calls and direct marketing and I asked him to share his tricks in this episode.
THIS ONE IS A DOOZY!

January 08, 2019 213 - 12 FRESH TACTICS to Get Your Work Seen That Will Make 2019 Your Best Year Yet! (Pt 1 of 2)
It's the start of a new year and I don't know about you, but I feel the drive to take as much action as I can at the start of this season, to enable as much creative career growth as I possibly can.
I built this episode to help you capitalize on that sometimes quickly fading new-year FIRE with 12 new ideas to help you spread the word about your art!!!
In part 1 of this 2 part episode, I will share with you my latest tactics and ideas that are helping me approach people directly with my work in such a way that gets real results.
Direct marketing can feel hopeless and SELLING your art is a tricky game, and this is why it's so important to be highly inventive and strategic with your marketing if you want your work seen in 2019!

December 18, 2018 212 - How to Have Your True BIG BREAK!
They have been lying to you since you were born. You've been told "that's just the way it is" about taxes, school, work, and pretty much everything. But the truth is that nothing is ever "just the way it is", it's the way people before you decided it would be.
The world isn't just the way it is, it's the way you make it and until you realize this not just in your head, but in your heart, you will be held back from living your full creative potential.
In this episode I want to share with you how I've started to unlearn this limitation and how it's dramatically impacted my approach to creative work.
In this episode you will...
- Learn about a post modern philosophy that will unlock your best work
- Be introduced to a system for leveling up your creative work
- Hear me do an impression of Morpheus from The Matrix
