In the motorcycle world you have all types of bikes. Sport, adventure, dirt, cruiser, and the list goes on.

Often people identify themselves with the type of ride they have. The Harley community is a great example as their riders often soak up the identity of the brand. You can notice it in the clothes they wear, the places they meet ups and the groups they join.

But if you strip it all down and they didn't have that bike..would it make them any less of a rider? Would it change who they are as a person?

Today we're talking all things identity and get clear on why its important to have an awareness around what you view as your identity.

What you do for work isn't who you are. What you have isn't who you are. Who you spend time with isn't who you are. So who are you and why is it important to even as the question.

This is The Motovation.

Many people have creative ideas, but taking action can be nerve wracking. Its similar to starting to learn how to ride a motorcycle. It sounds like a fun idea in theory, but actually starting the bike can garner fear and anxiety.

On the podcast Hayley and Krissy chat about the vulnerability and emotions required to place creative work out into the world.
