FACT: No one is going to make it happen for you.

Today’s guest, Aaron Draplin of Draplin Design Co., has built an empire of consistently showing up and doing the work.

He needs no formal introductions, because for a hot minute now, he’s cemented himself as a creative industry juggernaut wielding a big old burly beard of fire and fury.

In today’s episode, Draplin and I go deep on:

• Pursuing something when you don’t know the outcome.
• Doing it for the hell of it and learning to love it.
• Why you don’t need the BIG degree to make shit happen.
• Using your time wisely and being productive.
• Paying off debt, showing the ugly, and more.

If you’re ready to avoid instant gratification, put in the work, and have some fun with your creative pursuits, then this one is for you.

Today’s guest, KiriLeigh Jones, isn’t afraid to share her work nor flex her talent on anything that can become a canvas.

She’s a creative free spirit who spreads good vibes throughout the world with her vibrant and hella detailed masterpieces.

When she’s not making a statement painting insane murals, she’s drawing or painting on shoes, skate decks, human body parts, bikes, or pretty much whatever she can get her hands on.

In this episode, Kiri and I go deep on:

• Saying yes and figuring it out.
• Turning anything into a canvas to experiment on.
• The power of sharing your process.
• Good vibes and authenticity vs. toxic positivity.
• Mural resources, meditation, and more.

If you’re interested in painting murals or just expressing your creativity on a bigger level, then you’re going to dig the energy Kiri brings to this one.

Monetizing something from the jump can easily suffocate the joy from the process of play.

Today’s guest, Donna Adi, gave herself permission to play. This sparked incredible success for her and set the tone for a highly desired new art style.

She’s an insanely talented artist and storyteller who combines vibrant illustrations with lifestyle and fashion photography.

What started off as a hobby has led to her flexing her unique style with major brands like Puma, Google, Michael Kors, and Nike.

In this episode, Donna and I go deep on:

• Creating for you vs. following trends.
• Focusing on the passion over making money in the beginning.
• Going with your gut and chasing what scares you.
• Time management, productivity, and avoiding distractions.
• Mindset, confidence, finding your style, and more.

If you’re ready to focus on doing YOU vs. worrying about what everyone else is doing, then this episode was made for you.

Part 1/3 of The Blaze Your Own Path Series was all about getting started, believing it’s possible, and breaking away from the lie you’ve been sold.

Part 2/3 was about investing in yourself and finding what works best for you vs. mimicking your idol’s footsteps.

We close the series with Part 3/3 which focuses on breeding a pro mindset and taking massive, uncomfortable action.

The goal of this episode is to empower you to:

- Eliminate victim mentality

- Gain a mental edge and taking initiative in life

- Take yourself and your work more seriously

No one is going to make your creative dream happen for you.

Keep your eyes on the prize, be persistent, and stay in the game—your breakthroughs will come.

Last week, Part 1 of this series was all about getting started and believing that whatever you want to accomplish creatively is possible for you.

You gave yourself permission to explore the early stages of your creative dream WITHOUT trying to monetize it right from the jump.

In Part 2, we’re laying the foundation for how you intentionally and authentically show up as yourself in your work.

We do this by:

• Understanding there’s no one-size-fits-all creative career path
• Leveraging parts of other’s success versus copying it step-by-step.
• Doing the hard work of investing in your growth and reaping the benefits.

Part 3 next week closes the series with how to attain a pro mindset while taking massive, uncomfortable action.

I’m making a safe bet that you’re listening to this podcast because you feel creatively called to do something MORE in life.

That’s why, today, I’m stoked to kick-off my latest episodic adventure called the Blaze Your Own Path Series.

My hopes and intentions are to:

• Inspire you with my story so you too can blaze your own path to side hustle success.
• Destroy your beliefs of what you’re capable of accomplishing.
• Motivate you to take massive, uncomfortable action to chase what you want on your own terms.

Part 1 is all about getting started, believing it’s possible, and breaking away from the lie you’ve been sold.

Next week, Part 2 of the series is about intentionally and authentically showing up, finding out what works best for you, and discovering your unique path.

What’s your definition of success, and how do you know when you’ve “made” it?

What if you hit your big target, yet never truly “make” it, because you’re always hunting another bigger target to aim for?

That’s the goal of my homie Francisco Reyes, the mastermind behind the alias Never Made. 

His side hustle pursuits have landed him big time collabs with the likes of The Hundreds, Obey Clothing, Red Bull, The Los Angeles Clippers, Disney, Zumiez, and Urban Outfitters to name a few.

In this episode, we go deep on:

• Valuing hard work and “earning” it
• Making enough noise to be seen (in a non-sleazy way)
• Creating meaningful work that makes an impact
• Planting seeds and speaking things into existence
• Selling merch, creating for yourself, and more.

If you’re ready to roll your sleeves up, do the work, and play the long game, you’re going to dig this episode.
