MugenCast: Inspiration For The Everyday Creative

I told you all I wasn’t going to take another hiatus. I mean it’s only the second episode of this year but small wins right!?

But this episode isn’t about me, for Episode 62 I interviewed someone a lot more interesting. My friend Beti!

Or better know by her online brand “Beat By Beti”. And what I love about this interview is Beti’s honesty about her experience as a creator over the past few years. The good, the bad, the ugly. And we don’t talk about these things to discourage other creatives or paint the creative lifestyle in a bad light. But rather Beti’s candid delivery should serve as encouragement. And a realistic look at the ups and downs that come along with chasing a distant goal.

It’s not a straight line, and it’s not overnight success. Rather it’s continued determination over months and years. And along the way, a lot of self discovery and reflection.

I hope you get something valuable from this one…

Enjoy the show!

MugenCast in 2022!?

Yes! It’s the return of your favorite creative podcast!

Niayla Murray is a multi-faceted person (to put it mildly). Currently enrolled in law school, she’s found a way to balance her school and professional responsibilities, with a social media presence.

And in this episode we dive into how/why she got into this creative mindset, her thoughts on social media, and how a shift in focus during the pandemic has led her to a more balanced lifestyle….

Enjoy the show!

A short hiatus but we’re back this week! And on this week’s show, we talk about COMPLACENCY! It’s something that has been on my list of topics for a while, so why not tackle it! We all find ourselves in a place like this, but how do you get out of it? 

And even more important, how do you prevent relapsing back into it?

Enjoy the show!

This is one for the OGs….If you’ve been around since the beginning you’ll know one of my first episodes was with two of my friends: John and Elly. That was almost 3 years ago now. And so much has changed...

On this episode we catch up with Elly Tran: Singer, songwriter, model (just a very multifaceted artist). To fulfill her dreams, at 19, she went to Los Angeles to pursue a singing career. And while that does sound glamorous, the reality is much more harsh. But through that difficulty she discovered more about herself than ever before…

Enjoy!

You know this episode takes me back to the earlier days of MugenCast. Just a really relaxed, somewhat random conversation with a great guest...

From cats fighting in the background to brussel sprouts almost burning to a ton of technical difficulties this was a really fun conversation. But as fun and playful as it it was, my guest this time around presents an interesting take on modeling as an art, and how growth as a person can coincide with a growth in a creative passion.

The dilemma for the modern day creative is oftentimes balancing the more practical pursuits with a creative dream..

Could you imagine moving to another state with the singular goal of chasing a creative passion? Well my guest today is someone who did! 

Mike Gray is an actor, photographer, and all around creative. And on this episode he sat down to discuss how he fell in love with his craft, the ups and downs of chasing a passion like acting, and how he discovered a new passion that has him completely enthralled....

The journey to one’s passion is often a long and winding road...

And the story of Leigh Ellis (The Starters/No Dunks podcast) is the epitome of that idea. Now in his 40’s Leigh has carved out a respectable career as a sports media personality and analyst. But the story he tells in this episode predominantly occurs years before that success...

In this episode we dive into Leigh’s past: growing up in Australia, working odd jobs overseas, finding the love of his life in another country, and all the ups and downs before he ultimately found his way back to basketball.
