In this week’s solo episode, I thought I’d read one of my recent ärtful reminders that speaks to your worth, the value you bring to your clients and customers, and that you need to be asking for what you deserve as the badass creative that you are.  This topic has really resonated with people in the ärtful hangouts and masterminds I lead, so I thought it would be worth sharing on the show.

In this episode, Gabe chats with Tameca Coleman, a singer, writer, artist, and educator who is a champion for creatives making a positive impact.  During their conversation they talk about gardening cults, the “brown note”, sound healing, the importance of connecting as a community, knowing what is enough for you so that you can give from an overflowing cup, keeping the promises you’ve made to yourself, how choosing labels can be empowering and is akin to having a compass for your life, the importance of respecting people for who they are and the pronouns they’ve chosen for themselves, showing up for yourself first then for your community, and listening to your heart.

Recently, the cast and crew of the film Almost Famous got together and recorded a podcast for their 20-anniversary reunion. My friend Angela posted about it and I mentioned that it had made a massive impact on my life.  She said that I should think about sharing the story on this show.  This week’s solo episode is that story.  I talk about my early days as a DJ and the impact music has had on my life, the dark moment that obliterated my naivety and showed me that not everyone will support you, no matter how well-intentioned you are, and how a movie about a band on the rise and headed for implosion could change the course of my life forever.

In this week’s solo episode, I get vulnerable and share some reflections on living a life that’s been drawn and not traced.  I open up about some childhood memories, skeletons from my closet, as well as insights that have come up with while doing the deep work as an artist, entrepreneur, and human.  I speak to learning lessons that have come up from my youth, my college days, and my time as a champion for creative misfits.  I also give a shout out to Dave Clayton for the amazing workshop he led recently at Creatives Ignite, a summer camp for creative entrepreneurs hosted by Diane Gibbs.

In this week’s solo episode, I share a bunch of updates like transitioning from Libsyn to Buzzsprout as my media host and the improved user experience that comes with it, all-new ärtful reminders that I’m posting regularly on Instagram to inspire you, the Artist Spotlight of the month, and a wonderfully fulfilling summer camp for creative entrepreneurs that I’ve been a “camp counselor” for. I also share several recommendations for people to check out and follow that have made a positive impact in my life, and some of my favorite apps that have been helping me with building and maintaining habits that are nurturing my soul and helping me to stay motivated so that I can keep showing up for you.

In this week’s solo episode, I open up about a long-time secret that I’ve only shared with close friends and family. I speak to regrets, imposter syndrome, and ways that we hold our selves back by limiting beliefs. I talk about the power of positive daily reminders like, “You are enough”, and the impact they have in your life as well as others. I also share a brief update on the work I’ve been cranking on during the transformation of ärtful and the impact it is already beginning to have.

Creativity starts with curiosity — a question, then another question and another. Answering those questions lies at the center of our creativity and our craft, no matter what they are and however many of them we are passionate about. That’s what I love about where we’re going with ärtful. In this week's solo episode, I share my manifesto for ärtful, its community, and its future.
