Live Your Purpose

My guest is Jay Sheldon, a professional cinematographer, host of the Miscellaneous Important Stuff podcast, and fellow all around creative. After receiving a video camera for Christmas at the age of 14, Jay decided that he wanted to pursue a career in film and video. He went on to earn degrees in both Film and Video Production and Graphic Design from Oklahoma City Community College.

Jay has honed his skills in working professionally as an eMedia Specialist, Multimedia Coordinator, and for the past 5 years as a cinematographer and editor at Insight Creative Group – where he gets to combine his love of creative collaboration and storytelling through video.

In 2014, Jay was awarded with a Heartland Emmy for co-directing, shooting, and editing the short documentary, 'Going Dark: The Final Days of Film Projection'.

When not working, Jay spends his time playing soccer, screen printing, playing guitar, watching Netflix, making balloon animals, learning yoyo tricks, reading, and looking for new hobbies that he can’t make time for.

My guest is Dean Imel, an Oklahoma City kinetic artist who crafts moving copper wind sculptures of all shapes and sizes. Dean has been a regular at the Oklahoma City Festival of the Arts for years, and was selected as the 2020 Featured Artist by the Oklahoma City Arts Council. Although this year’s festival has been canceled due to the Covid-19 pandemic, his art continues to move. Join me as I learn about Dean’s early days, his exciting adventures, and what inspires him to work with the wind.

"Though I make quite a few pieces each year, each one is personal to me.  I appreciate that people use their hard earned money to buy something I made, and I do not want to disappoint them.  I use the best materials and processes that I know to make something beautiful that will last.  I also get a kick out of going to someone's home to install a piece.  I am an amateur gardener (aren't we all) and enjoy seeing the plants they use in their landscape.  People are interesting, and I have gotten to know quite a few through my work.  It's one of the real joys of what I do.  While it is disappointing to have the Arts Festival canceled this year, I am an optimist and look forward to an even better show next year with new people to meet and new yards to explore."

My guest is Cristy Gosset, who uses music as a medium to make meaningful connections with children of all ages. Her desire is to help children discover that music has a place in their lives and can make a positive difference. Her first inspirations were her own Elementary Music teacher, her piano teacher, and her voice teacher when she was young. Since she was a teenager, she has also used her voice as an instrument for her faith. Music has always been an enormous part of her life and has been a vehicle for her inner passion. When studying as a Vocal Music Performance major in college, Cristy quickly discovered that her path was to share the joy of music with students.

After teaching for many years, taking time to be at home with her 2 daughters when they were very young, and then coming back to the public schools to teach music, she found her heart belonged to the students at her school. Having a strong desire to stay in the classroom, Cristy also found ways she could help other teachers in the school district by serving as the District Elementary Music Chair for Fine Arts. She also found her voice for advocacy for both education and the Fine Arts beginning with the Oklahoma Teacher Walkout in 2018. She continues her advocate role in her school, in the school district, in the local teacher’s union and through speaking with legislators whenever she has the opportunity. You can see her passion in her blog “Passionate Music Teacher” on Tumblr.

Cristy is always a passionate music teacher. Most recently her passion has been ignited during the COVID-19 pandemic and finding ways to care for and stay connected with her students.

My guest is Brian Warfield, who has been a hospital chaplain for over 8 years and absolutely loves it. He’s had the chance to work at Baptist Medical Center, Spencer Mental Health, and most recently at Southwest Medical Center as Pastoral Care Manager. What he loves most is meeting people who are in a difficult crisis and providing a caring presence to support them. He tries to be a warm, engaging, and hopeful representative of his faith tradition. 

He enjoys chaplaincy because he gets to be creative in how he offers spiritual support. It can be a spirituality group, a 1-with-1 encounter, or most recently a Facebook Live prayer time from the SMC chapel. He finds himself most engaged when he feels like what he does makes a difference and allows him to use different parts of his personality: the creative side, reflective side, analytical side, and passionate side. 

When he’s not chaplain-ing, he loves to spend time with his family, go running with friends, and play the guitar. He also spends entirely way too much of his money at Dunkin’ Donuts.
