Sometimes, it takes a few attempts to figure out which passion path you should be following in life. You may have multiple interests, but not all of them point toward a fruitful future.

Queue today’s guest, Kyle Letendre aka @HeyKyle, a groovy magician who casts spellbinding expressive lettering and illustrations for some of the biggest kids on the block like Instagram, Jack White, and McDonald's.

Today we chop it up with Michael Fugoso aka FUGS aka @Fugstrator on the Grams.

Recently, I listened to a Lewis Howes' School of Greatness episode (695) called Your Thoughts Will Heal or Kill You with Marissa Peer. A few main themes of the show triggered some areas of conflict I had been wrestling with personally in my life.

So today, I distilled my top takeaways from that episode and injected my own flavor geared toward creatives. The following is a 4 Step Blueprint for Kicking Major Ass in Life & Your Creative Pursuits:

Overall, I want to give you the firepower for transforming your words, thoughts, and beliefs to create the world you want for yourself and others.

It’s good to have a plan in life, especially with your creative pursuits...yet things don't always go according to plan.

You've learned by now that life isn't always sunshine and rainbows. You have to deal with the darkness and tornados that will throw you off course.

For my wife and me, 2018's motto has been strictly about "Rolling With Life's Punches." Throughout her pregnancy and our now-parenthood, we've had our fair share of bumps in the road. Each time we remind ourselves of this motto.

I've also tattooed this motto on my mind as I juggle my daily grind between the day job and the Perspective-Collective.

Today's episode is about responding to the punches life throws at you. Whatever happens, happens.

I talk about:

Lace up your boxing gloves and get ready to step into the ring. You're in for a fight worth fighting, and it's time to punch back.
