Creator's Creed

Before we can even think about changing others or the world around us, we need to start by changing ourselves. Ultimately, this means we have to understand how to master the three most important considerations of our life: our PURPOSE, PASSION, and PATH. But before even that, we need to check the language we use to pursue challenges. If we use limiting language such as "I'll try" and "I'll do my best" (yes, that's an unproductive phrase), we'll never reach our true potential, much less impact the world.

Some people love to harp on about how busy they are; then there are those who let their results speak for themselves. Being productive versus being busy is more than just a matter of time management—it's a matter of integrity and knowing your life's purpose.

Christian Paolo Lat is an award-winning Filipino independent filmmaker, actor, musician, and restauranteur. How does he have the time to commit to so many passions at the same time? And more strikingly, how did he become so successful in everything that he does? Christian is a true renaissance man and zen master in today's fast-paced, hyper-specialized world, and he's here to teach us about becoming a disciplined leader and creative entrepreneur.

Feeling stuck on your journey as a creator or entrepreneur? It starts with a paradigm shift and realizing that you're in charge of writing your own story, not anyone else. Find out what a Vice President of Operations for Citibank and an illiterate tribal community had in common that helped both of them attain financial freedom.

Whether you're an artist, business owner, or employee looking to climb the corporate ladder, you need to be actively participating online as a value-driven content creator. Beyond engaging social media posts, creating content includes fostering relationships with real people on these platforms. This will translate into long-term ROI. I discuss how to prepare to become a Man in the Arena by developing clarity and grit, fine-tuning self-awareness, homing in on your purpose, and just plain old starting NOW.

A consultant with decades of management experience discusses the most important considerations when it comes to scaling a business. I talk shop with someone who has trained dozens of well-known multinational companies both in the Philippines and abroad. He also discusses his direct selling business, and explains why more aspiring entrepreneurs today ought to consider this type of business if they're looking to build a scalable asset that can potentially, if built right, allow financial freedom.

I dissect the victimhood or entitlement mentality that is so prevalent in today's world. I propose an alternative to empowerment based on victimhood, and that is empowerment based on merit. This can only be done through financial education and training on how to be an entrepreneur, as well as through a movement to bring more mentorship and create more vehicles and opportunities for people to get into business for themselves.
