The Doing Scary Things Podcast

Today we chat with musician, producer, and songwriter Josiah Prince. Josiah has toured with Disciple for 7 years and has his own studio in Nashville called The Ranch.    We chat in depth about the "unpredictable and unstable" life of being on the road while having a wife, daughter, and beta fish. We talk about his love of organization and how it relates to songwriting and producing, how and why he moved to Nashville without anything going on, and how he learned to produce music.   We also discuss positivity, mental health, how to monetize what you're created to do, and why social media is a necessity and not an option.   Josiah also tells us about the very big difference between Reactive and Proactive Inspiration and the new Disciple Album (Love Letter Kill Shot) that came out September 13th.   "Songwriting is like gambling because you usually lose."   Connect with Josiah on Instagram & Facebook.   Connect with us online! https://www.facebook.com/doingscarythings/  www.doingscarythings.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7wZ63VjnGKLlU50_59ksjg Email us! [email protected] Instagram: @doingscarythings@jasperandjade.music@thekatiesnyder@annaesthetic23  #doingscarythings #jasperandjademusic Stream our music & new Friends & Fave Playlist here!

Today we speak with Deeann Rieves - a mixed media, abstract artist who has an intricate process that includes painting, stitching, and working with collage.

We were so encouraged hearing the stories of how her high school and college teachers, as well as her parents and grandparents were a huge source of support and encouragement to her, especially in the beginning when she wasn't sure if she would ever make a living with art.

We discuss the ways her art has changed over the years, how she created a studio practice and the self discipline that takes!, and why it's helpful to set your own deadlines!

Deeann is an amazing example of DOING THE THING and giving it a try first before pursuing a backup plan, and she shares what happened when her worst fear finally happened.

Deeann's work is amazing and you can see it online at www.deeannrieves.com and on Instagram HERE.

Today we talk with full time fitness professional, personal trainer, and owner of the BRAND NEW Cycle Haus Nashville cycling studio, Natalie Qayed.

We discuss her dream of ten years of opening the studio and how she knew she wanted to teach spin from her very first class. 

Natalie tells us all about the process of opening this business, from finding the perfect location to securing a loan, and taking on 100% of the risk herself. She explains why it's okay not to celebrate everything all the time, and why NO's are okay. We also chat about her biggest, scariest dreams and what ultimately motivates her more than anything.

"Everybody has a different definition of hard."

Today, on our very first "quad episode", we talk with Jill and Kate: musical duo, singer-songwriters, podcasters, Ted Talk alumni, and aspiring authors.

Together, we discuss what it's been like for them to clarify their message and to make sure they're saying something meaningful.

We hear about their story of selling everything they owned (well, almost everything!) and taking a year off to "walk about".

We discuss what they personally did when life was not going the way they thought it would and they give listeners lots of advice for getting unstuck!

We hear about how their song, "Nashville" came about, as well as getting a first listen to their latest song, "Just Kiss Me."

And, of course, we asked them what is scaring them now??

We LOVED this convo and, as always, we want to hear from you about what steps you're taking towards your goals! Join our brand new Facebook Group to have deeper discussions with us and fellow listeners each week! Find it here! ---Doing Scary Things Together---

Today we have the pleasure of speaking with best selling author Allison Fallon.   Allison writes books, helps people "write books, and believes that a regular writing practice can help change your life."   She is a best-selling author, public speaker, and founder of Find Your Voice, which helps people write books, especially those who wouldn't call themselves a writer.   She helps people clarify what they want to write about and has witnessed physical and tangible changes when you write every day.    We discuss the Imposter Syndrome Epidemic and tells the story of a NY Times bestselling author not feeling qualified.   Allison shares fascinating info regarding right brain and left brain info - for instance: why you can't write and edit at the same time and why grammar does not equal good writing!   She explains how writing can help you process your own personal story and pain and help you uncover unconscious thoughts and emotions to change your outcome.   She also tells us a little about both of her published books "Packing Light" and "Indestructible" and is giving three lucky listeners their own copies of Indestructible! (Listen to find out how to win!)   And, lastly, she tells us all about a new program called "Prepare to Publish" in which she helps aspiring authors create a book proposal.   Connect with Allison & sign up for the waiting list for her new course HERE!   -------------     Connect with us online! www.doingscarythings.com Email us!
