She said that she has always been a “natural storyteller”. Our guest this week has spent her life sharing stories in a variety of creative ways including acting. While on a quick meditation retreat, she had a brief vision of India, shortly after she was contacted by a director and offered a role that would change her life.

This week we are talking to Tamela D’Amico about her experience starring in a movie that advocates for the disability community. This film broke a world record for having 80 people with disabilities acting in it and proves that “everyone should be afforded the opportunity to follow their dream”.

He has been a musician his entire life. He started performing on stage at seven years old and has toured all over the US since. Our guest this week, Arturo Knight, says he has “been through the dirt and the riches”

One thing is certain though, the creative life is as he puts it “not all that it looks like”. It is REALLY difficult making a full-time income as a musician, artist, writer, whatever...

You want to spend your life pursuing your craft- but you don't want to be a “starving artist”. So what do you do?

Today we dig into Art’s passion for helping creatives make money online from their laptop so they can do what they were created to do. Connect with him at https://arturoknight.com/

He said as a kid he was “socially awkward” and bullied. He found community in an unconventional way and is now using his personality to build a brand online and create a community for others who may feel outside the box as well.

Today we are talking with Jose Garcia who has built a massive audience on TikTok using memes and a well-developed comedic timing. He shares with us about the art of blending multiple interests and leaning into all the unconventional parts of your personality. Connect with him: Tiktok.com/@raidenphotos

 

WHO IS JOSE?

Originally a photographer who just wanted to build a social media presence,  Jose joined TikTok mainly to post behind the scenes videos of photoshoots and tutorials.  Then one day, he was browsing Reddit, laughing to himself and having a blast commenting on posts.  He had the thought,  “You know what?  Why don't I just record the random one-liners and reactions and make a video rather than just killing time? ”  Little did he know that one piece of content would change his life.

 

TOPICS:

• The secret of the meme culture & comedic timing
• Moving past overthinking content
• Blending interests and building a personal brand

I ran across today’s guest making a cup of Chai on TikTok. No big deal right? I thought at first this was someone simply sharing their favorite recipe and thought nothing of it...until I realized that there was something unconventional going on.

Today we are digging into some deep topics around our search for meaning, creativity, storytelling, and why Heather will try to stop saying, “Chai Tea”.
