So the inspiration came from a conversation I was having with Lisa on one of my YouTube streams And if you're not already subscribed to me on YouTube I can't recommend that enough because out of all of the places where I produce content that believe it or not is where I spend the most time And so during my leisure time I will often just say Hey let me do a live stream while I have a little bit of downtime here and talk to the people We play video games we hang out we chat we tell inappropriate jokes But at the end of the day We have really great conversations and Lisa proposed to me She's been getting after it pretty heavily on her warriors path or her artist journey if you prefer And if you didn't already hear the podcast I did on Stephen Press Fields the artist journey definitely give that a listen You don't necessarily need to listen to them in order Like if you didn't already Here it You don't need to stop this talk and go back to listen to that one I just highly encourage you to go back and listen to that one at some point because a lot of what we're going to discuss here will be amplified by having that background information But everything I'm going to say here is not does not require that you've heard or even read the book that I was discussing But I can't recommend enough that you start reading all of Stephen Press Fields books I think I've read five of his God knows how many books he's read I probably won't read his fiction books just because I struggled to read fiction but I recommend the five books I've read which are uh the turning pro The War of art do the work the artist journey and the warrior ethos on I'll get through his other books at another time But anyway today's podcast is dedicated to a conversation Lisa and I were having during a YouTube stream about the podcast referencing the artist journey and what it means to be on an artist journey What it means to answer the call of your muse and to go after the things that you secretly dream about and desperately want to accomplish Now when you make up your mind that you're gonna become the warrior that you're gonna become the artist that you're going to turn pro as Stephen Press Field talks about in his book Turning Pro you also have to get ready for what's in book number two The War of Art It's a little thing called Resistance you know we call it the Devil We call it demons We call it the system We call it the man but it's actually a natural force that exists uh in the universe that I think often manifests in those both animate and inanimate situations Right Resistance is coming for you Struggle is coming for you There is no highly successful person that's supremely happy with their success and Brian Chambers movement Those things are not separable I am not in the business of helping people develop success and make themselves miserable in the process Right I want you to be successful and happy at the same time because I I've had ah lot of success in my life And I'll tell you in some of the places where I've had great success where some of the most unhappy places in my life period and what I don't want for you is to have that similar experience I want the successes that you have to be things that you're ultimately happy about...
