After speaking with so many people from so many places it’s great to speak to another creative near my home again but when you hear his story you’ll hear many places far away from it. On this episode we speak with author, hasher, and paintball aficionado Dave Norman. We speak on creating an income from what you love starting as kid by adding value and understanding where and how the money moves in the business to place yourself in it. We talk on traveling and taking an opportunity when it comes to you instead of letting it pass by. How cities become really cool from art then because of that exact creation become too expensive for artists to live in like many other unfortunate cycles. Great episode for authors, writers, travelers, and of course creatives trying to make a living doing what they love.

In This Episode We Cover

• Getting into writing as a job

Quotes

“What’s happening here, you have these mentors, they say this where money is moving, this is what’s adding value, these are the dollar signs of what’s happening. You saw this is how it works, this is where they are adding value. These are what I’ll do to join those and bring something to the community as well!” - Host Dave Swillum

Quotes

“When  you go to nature you are removing your self. There’s no other stupid shit happening there in nature. Everything either has a function, or the animals have a thing they are trying to get done or survive. Humans are so smart we do things that get in our own way of basic survival because of what we come up with. All of the the things we’ve done to create society have changed that. - Host Dave Swillum

Take a step back from the longer interview content to have a glass of lemonade. Did you ever have a lemonade stand as a child? What did that mean to you then and what does that part of your story mean now? In this brief episode I speak on the value I see in that as an early experiment of teaching children entrepreneurial traits and business principles young and go into some in depth of how I made additional income streams when I was younger to get to the goals I had then. Have you ever had some things you did as a kid that seem more a part of you now that you look back at the trait before you got to where you are? We often reveal little bread crumbs about who we are going to become through choices and ways to figure things when we are younger but it’s not always obvious when we are making them at that point. What was your lemonade stand then and what is it now? I always stop at every lemonade stand, I want people to understand as early as possible they can create ways to make income and do what is enjoyable for them with hard work.

In This Episode We Cover

• Common traits of young entrepreneurs / creatives

Using your creative background to create a business that supports people is a great thing! Today we speak to Skye Marinda who is a Tarot Coach from D.C. Not sure what that is? I wasn’t either because she made it with the tools and super powers she has. Coming from a background in art school and a love for Tarot reading she works with people in Tarot as a medium to gain confidence in themselves and work through their thoughts internally. She has given over 400 readings and 100 workshops worldwide. You don’t have to know anything about Tarot readings to love this episode because I didn’t know anything while interviewing! Great insight on creating a creative business drawing from social DM’s, using your artistic background in new ways, running events in new spaces, and external judgement on your creative business. Let us know what you think of the conversation!

• Using tools for self reflection

Your relationship with money dictates your decision making process and your mood so it’s important for any creative or business owner to manage. I’ve been unhealthy and healthy with my perspective on money in many different ways over my life transitions. When you don’t have a lot sometimes it comes out of anger because you can’t get what you need at the time, when you have more sometimes it comes from still not wanting to spend it and more importantly not spending it on the right things or things that fill your cup. On this episode we talk about some things to look out for that may be unhealthy ways of looking at what money is and it’s purpose and talk through some ways to manage a better relationship with it. Money is an energy and a vehicle but nothing more. Everything else we develop in our world around it on our journey is something different. Let’s start cultivating a great relationship on what money really boils down to so we can make the best decisions on our mission and get the biggest impact from life.

In This Episode We Cover

• Your relationship with money dictates your decision making process

Quotes

“Money is energy, money is a vehicle…….that’s all.” - Host Dave Swillum

“You give up a lot to go after your passion in a real way” - Host Dave Swillum

One of the biggest challenges in the way of so many going after their dreams in creative and business is their overhead cost of living and fixed overhead. I’ve never seen a time in my life where living affordability has been crazier! On this episode we speak to co-founder of Boxabl a company that creates pre-fabricated housing in a very new way. With the ability for their unit to be shipped in a typical driving standard without oversize and get the results approved by building code ahead of time they are able to bring a new solution to the market to help with this bottle necking. If you want to see one of the first three units out so far look no further than Tesla and Space X CEO Elon Musk’s Boxabl Casita in Starbase Boca Chica, TX !

We speak through their first model “Casita” an ADU accessory dwelling unit, the housing market and modern living method for Americans and many around the world for the future and much more. Overhead cost of living, living alternatives, assessing risk in an optimistic way, and solving problems so people can live better lives and pursue their passions too.

In This Episode We Cover

• Housing affordability

Quotes

“Making it simple wasn’t simple but not that it’s simple to use its simple.” - Galiano Tiramani

“We live in a nanny state and it’s unfortunate that the government doesn’t just leave people alone because I think the world would be better off it they did, in a big way.” - Galiano Tiramani

“You can lose basically lose everything you have because you’re not gonna starve to death, you’re not gonna freeze. You can really just go all in and take huge risks because the downside really isn’t that bad.” - Galiano Tiramani
