SLAP HAPPY

In this episode I dive into my gratitude practice, why I started it and why I decided to create my own gratitude journal.

Gratitude is something that has fundamentally changed the direction and experience of my day to day life. It is something that I have turned to and leant on when facing challenges, and it has held me up when I felt like falling down.

I made a song titled Gratitude…

And I love the practice of daily gratitude so much that I even made my own gratitude journal!

Anyway that’s enough about that, listen to episode for more insights and cop a journal here if you’re keen:

Recently I have had the privilege of feeling the weight of my own expectation - it’s something I am used to. But channeling it, fighting back, learning how to weather the storm… now that is a new set of skills.

In this one I talk about the journey of the solopreneur and how daunting it can be as I attempt to forge a new path for myself and build the perfect life for myself.

In the words of Dan Koe…

Create or be created.

Which translates to ‘dictate the terms of your life or have them dictated to you’.

I am choosing to build, to forge, to craft and to toil until I have constructed something beautiful that I can call my own. I don’t know what it will be at this stage, or when I will get to it, but I know with time and effort, I will be rewarded.

With all the artificial intelligence and web3 chat around it’s safe to say that artists can become very quickly overwhelmed and confused on what to do next and where to put their energy.

In a world full of technological leaps forward, your biggest assets to help you stay on track as a creator are:

* Personal Brand

* Compounding

Both of these require you to zoom out from the day to day — tune out the b******t and just do the work.

Results are a lagging indicator for effort.

Which means that the results for the work you do today won’t be seen tomorrow, or next week or maybe even for years to come. That doesn’t matter though, we do the work anyway.

Applying concerted effort to these 2 points on a daily basis will ensure not only that you reach your destination, but that you get there quicker than anticipated — saving you time, energy and money.

1. Personal Brand

You are human (aka a meat-coated ghost) and nothing can replace you… not your exact experience anyway. That is what makes you important/special, so lean into it.

Use social media to connect with an audience and tell your story/share who you are and what’s important to you. Put yourself out there, be raw, be vulnerable, go all the way with it.

Go get yourself some haters!

If nobody hates you, it means nobody can love you.

Access to creative tools has mostly been democratised to the point where creating world class art is now cheaper and more attainable than ever. Sure there will always be nuance around taste and excellence, but there is no denying that the gap between the top 10% and the bottom 10% has shrunk significantly in recent years with tools like:

* Capcut

* Logic Pro

* Landr

* Canva

* ChatGPT

The thing that will continue to set people apart is their personal brand, their lens, their experiences and how they communicate those to the world in their most stunning forms.

Put your personal brand on show, put your unique perspective on show, talk your s**t like no one is watching — be bold, be brave.

2. Compounding

In the words of Dan Koe and prolly a whole heap of other smart people — “nothing happens and then everything happens.”

One definition of compounding is this: reckon (interest) on previously accumulated interest.

Examples of previously accumulated interest:

* New industry related relationship

* Book that you read recently

* Real life experience you had

* Showing up for a recording session

* Jumping on a podcast interview

* Playing a great set for a new crowd

* Posting to socials consistently

1 + 1 = 3

Don’t moan about the nothing, just get ready for the everything.

You don’t see compounding working, but it is. This is where trust for the process and the path you’re on comes into play. This is exactly when you don’t look up or look around. This is when you dig your head in the sand and you don’t come up for air until you can hear the roar of the crowd as you enter the arena.

Drill down on your personal brand, invest in compounding and I guarantee there will be a light at the end of that tunnel.

I made my way to 2 amazing events last week.

On Thursday rūku and I were invited to Fried and Tasty on Lygon street for their monthly event: Break n Bread.

Then on Saturday night we made our way to Chapel Street up to the Revolver band room to watch an insanely talented lineup of Dexter Seamus, Drest, Jimmy Harwood and 01.Ekka absolutely shred.

Both events were amazing and humbling and great reminders of rūku and I being in the right place and doing the right things with the right people.

On top of that, ku put out his new single called ‘Keep Showing Up’ - this song is soooo vibey, you just gotta play it!

I was talking to my old Sensei recently - he congratulated me on the progress I have in my creative pursuits since moving to Melbourne 3 years ago. We touched on my martial arts journey since moving away and he gave me props on my fight walk out (goated walk out btw). 

👉 WATCH THE WALK OUT

👉 WATCH THE FULL FIGHT

It gave me an idea of talking about my martial arts journey so far, touching on where it began, how it’s going and where I think it will end up.

So far martial arts has given me mental and physical strength that a younger version of me simply didn’t possess. I feel like it has given me confidence and self-belief in a real way for the first time in my life.

Not only has the practice been beneficial for my own health, it has allowed me to make friends with people and create bonds that I imagine will last a life time.

Martial arts is beautiful and sacred.

For me it has allowed a practice and spiritual journey that has revealed certain parts of myself, while silencing others.

Forever grateful for Sensei Jase and his father Sensei Mick, as well as Jack and my brother Dave for their early encouragement and more recently Sam, Diellon and Jelly for continuing to fan the flame. The sharing of information and camaraderie cannot be understated.

Isshogai = for life martial arts
