The Thomas Sawyer Podcast

Welcome to Episode 40! The last episode until we start up season 2 on February 4th. I decided to sit down with Lauren and talk about what we've learned this year. Great talk!

I've wanted to do an episode with Aubrey and Janey since the moment I started this podcast and when they came to me with the idea of sharing the dark truth of being an influencer, I bought a third microphone on the spot. We focused on the expectation of influencers from brands, followers, and ourselves. Our goal was to create an episode that could be used as a teaching tool. We know that social media as a career is a new idea and no one really knows the right etiquette (ourselves included), but we will never get to a place of harmony if someone doesn't speak up first. Great talk!

It feels very strange to say this, but this is one of the greatest conversations I've had to date. On and off podcast. I find that I can connect with most people on at least one thing, but it's very rare that I feel completely eye to eye on life. I'm sure if we kept digging that we'd find disagreements, but I walked away feeling very understood. Liz and I talk about making the move to LA, being on tour with Demi Lovato, and a few of her life philosophies. Great talk!

Whether you're the audience or the artist, life is difficult. I decided to take sometime to dissect how I get through life. It's just a quick episode talking about all that and a few updates on where I'm at in this moment!

I started a podcast because I was having too many conversations that ended with life changing revelations and I needed a proper way to share the new philosophies I’d just uncovered. Marie dropped a big one on me during our talk last week. It completely changed the way I look at my work/life balance. Great talk!

We, as a society, have this issue with talking about money. For some reason, it’s taboo and completely forbidden for us to discuss money even though we are all dependent on it. Thankfully I have a friend who is more than willing to talk about finance with me. Madeline Finn flanks me this week as we talk about the principles we use to make money as a freelance artist. Great chat!

Anastasia Souris is back on the podcast to talk about how not to get burnt out, what an actual turning point in life looks like, and a step by step guide into forcing Thomas Sawyer to accept compliments. I was on board until the last part. Great talk!

Taking the podcast to Instagram Live and talking about accepting compliments, comments, and criticisms.

This week I got to sit down with Porsha Hall to talk about her experience as a model, pursuing multiple passion concurrently, and how to deal with negativity by spreading positivity. Great talk!

I sat down for another "solo" episode with Lauren. We talked about things we fear, growing up without the internet, and how we met. Great talk!
