The Unmistakable Creative Podcast

“My first night in prison was the worst night of my life. I’ll never forget it because it was right around my birthday, a time that you’re supposed to be celebrating and happy. I was on my way to doing a life sentence in prison. It was the most depressing, just worst imaginable experience that one could ever have. I wouldn’t’ wish it upon my worst enemy. I was really desperate. I was so fearful. I was afraid.I was scared. I didn’t know how I was going to be able to make it through it all. It still hadn’t completely sunk in that I was facing a life sentence. I was so overwhelmed with fear and sadness. I felt alone. I felt like I was just trapped. There was nowhere to run, nowhere to hide. You can’t go to mom and dad. Mom and dad can’t help you. The only person that can help you. I’ve faced a lot of scary moments, but that was by far the scariest moment of my life.” – Kenyatta Leal

We as a society have collectively decided that there’s an appropriate way to show our commitment to our jobs. And that’s through struggle and sacrifice. So you say “I’m so busy” or “I pulled an all-nighter.” You stay really late, you’re the last one to leave, you’re the first one to arrive. There’s this kind of element of you’re proving through sacrifice your devotion to your job which we as a culture have decided on. What technology has done is that it’s made it very hard to disconnect. It’s blurring the lines between being at work and being at home. So now we have this mechanism through which we can constantly showing work devotion through all hours of the day.

I don’t help people launch into their trajectory. I show them what it likely is. Then it’s up to them to make the effort to do whatever they’ve got to do to get there. My goal is four things. Self understanding, then self management. Understand who you are, how you’re wired, and embrace it for what it is. In other words, if you’re a head of lettuce find a salad. If you’re a hammer find a toolbox and you’ll better off. But we got a lot of hammers in salads.

I’m able to to give them a blueprint of their behavioral framework, their emotional set, what this looks like and what drives them. And then see where they are. If you’re a Volkswagen why are you in the Daytona 500? That gives them a roadmap. There are some people that will take advantage of this information and put it to good use and make significant change. There are other people that say, “wow that was really interesting” – Steve Sisler

“That whole yoga sutras idea, the fact that the eagle spreads its wings, then brings its wings down, the cycle of life almost. You have to experience growth in its fullest form, keep pushing yourself and your boundaries of growth, and there comes a point when you want nothing more in the world and you want to bring it down, that you want bring the wings down and spend an inordinate amount of time in silence and contemplation. I don’t think that’s ever seeped into the west. No matter what you do you want more and more. Not just materially, but emotionally you want to keep growing, keep doing more things, keep stretching yourself. There is never that time for you to think “I’ve experienced everything in the world there is to experience, now I just have to bring it down” – Karan Bajaj

This is the first time in the history of the world where the risky thing is to do the traditional thing. That’s more risky than “taking risks” and becoming something outside the dominant paradigm. It’s more risky now do the same old shit than it is to get into an adventure and write your own script.  – Chase Jarvis
