Robert Young's BRIGHT FAMED SHINING The Podcast

Robert Young's BRIGHT FAMED SHINING The Podcast, Where Creativity Meets Wellness presents another special #BFSMyGuest Episode featuring Ms. Lisane Basquiat, Life Strategist/CEO of Shaping Freedom and Co-Executor of the Estate of legendary artist Jean Michel Basquiat.

Lisane Basquiat is a Life Strategist, dynamic entrepreneur, personal growth advocate, and the inspiring voice behind the Shaping Freedom podcast. Her portfolio includes roles as the founder of Shaping Freedom, owner of Hera Hub Carlsbad, co-administrator of the estate of Jean-Michel Basquiat, co-curator and executive producer of the Jean-Michel Basquiat: King Pleasure exhibition, and recognition as NAWBO San Diego's 2022 Business Woman of the Year.

This incredible episode with Lisane Basquiat was recorded in August of 2023, just one week after the 35th anniversary of her brother Jean-Michel passing and a month after the 8th anniversary of my mom's transcendence. I held the episode close to my heart and in my archives, as I felt it was a significant episode that dove deeply and earnestly into creativity and wellness in a manner for which I had always intended for Bright Famed Shining.

I am proud to announce its release coming on May 19, 2024 to coincide with the anniversary of the sale of her brother's famed 'Untitled, 1982' for the unprecedented amount of $110.5 million US dollars making him the highest-selling artist in American history.

Introducing, the incomparable Ms. Lisane Basquiat.

Robert Young's BRIGHT FAMED SHINING The Podcast, Where Creativity Meets Wellness presents another special #BFSMyGuest Episode featuring Mr. Elliott Ferguson, the President & CEO of Destination DC and Board Treasurer of Brand USA, an organization dedicated to marketing the United States as a premier travel destination.

In this episode, we feature a seasoned leader in the travel and hospitality industry, celebrating his 20-year milestone with the District of Columbia's tourism organization. With 33 years of experience, our guest, who has been President and CEO since 2009, oversees various crucial aspects, including convention and tourism sales, marketing, finance, and business development operations. Beyond his impressive tenure at the organization, he has played a pivotal role in addressing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the hospitality industry, serving as the Board Chair of Tourism Diversity Matters. His extensive involvement in national and regional boards, such as the U.S. Travel Association and Brand USA, showcases his commitment to advancing the tourism sector. As the industry grapples with the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, our guest remains dedicated to strategic recovery, actively participating in recovery advisory committees and alliances. Join us as we delve into his journey, industry insights, and impactful contributions to various community and industry organizations.

This episode with Elliott was recorded in 2023, but something told me to hold off before publishing it. While I don't often speak about race on the podcast, as my focus is on the health and well-being of all creatives, in my conversation with Elliott we reflected on what was happening in the world when I moved to DC as the pandemic began and the largest racial awakening of our generation became a reality.

Our discussion on everything from race to the power of travel is both culturally relevant and timely, as nations have returned to high levels of tourism as they compete for your attention as we simultaneously enter the last year of the United Nations' International Decade for People Of African Decent.

Robert Young's BRIGHT FAMED SHINING The Podcast, Where Creativity Meets Wellness is excited to present this special #BFSRemote Episode featuring #BFSMyGuest Nicholas Davis, Executive Director, Equity & Inclusion at CBC, Canada's national public broadcaster.

Are you ready....to know yourself better in 2024. Let's begin!

This is your #BFSDaily! ⁠⁠⁠Robert Young's BRIGHT FAMED SHINING The Podcast⁠⁠⁠ is proud to present #BFSDaily, short Daily Inspiration reads meant to kick start your morning, reset your positive intention throughout the day, and refresh you at night! Today's reading, "ACKNOWLEDGE YOURSELF" speaks on the importance of accepting yourself and believing in your journey.

About #BFSDaily

Studies show that epiphanies, those insightful "aha" moments we sometimes experience, have a profound impact on our mental health. They can provide a great boost to start your day, providing clarity, problem-solving abilities, emotional relief, self-discovery, motivation, and direction. Throughout my life, epiphanies have kept me going. In times when I have felt exhausted, unmotivated, or stuck, powerful lines from films, books, speeches, and now even podcasts have lifted me up and set me right back on my path. This is the reason I wrote Daily Inspiration, a book of 70 parables matched with 70 photographs I have had the pleasure to capture around the world. Now, through #BFSDaily, you can sit back, listen, and hopefully be inspired to seize the day!

About The Book

Preface: ⁠⁠Robert Young's Daily Inspiration⁠⁠

With great pleasure, this book of Daily Inspiration has been created. With even greater satisfaction, it is now yours to enjoy.

Have you ever made a mistake and said, “I know better?” Well, the truth is you do. The answers to all of our problems in life have always been inside of us but the noise of life often prevents us from listening to ourselves.

Within the pages of this book are reminders of the greatness already within you. It is a guide and a tool you can use to shift your perspective when you are feeling stuck.

Sometimes, all we ever need to regain our hope is to be reminded that we are not alone. Often that requires that we hear the message from someone else but without any judgement. That is the beauty of reading this book. Within the privacy of your thoughts, you can be inspired by words and images that reconnect you to yourself.

You can find hope in a time of hopelessness and sometimes hope is all you will need to find the strength to change your life for the better, forever.

This is your journey. This your Daily Inspiration. ⁠⁠Available on Amazon⁠⁠
