What does "independence" mean to you?

It is no coincidence that this episode drop on Independence Day in the U.S.

To me, ANY day of the year can be your independence day.

When you recognize your innate talents, embrace them, develop them, and leverage them to create your dream life you will experience the ultimate independence.

We all get caught up in circumstances but when you set you ...

In this me, myself, and I episode I talk about structural tension.

The universe moves toward releasing tension.  When we can leverage this foundational principle we can create great things in our life.

Robert Fritz, author of The Path of Least Resistance, Creativity, and other books has taught thousands of people in all walks of life about this concept.

I take his concepts and integrate with my theory of ...

In this episode we have a conversation with Sparkly Lindsay, a transformation recovery coach.

We talk about the shame, blame, and guilt game many of us play with ourselves, friends, family, and life in general.  This is a zero sum game and only when we release ourselves from the chains of this destructive cycle, embrace our creative energy, be completely present with our emotions, thoughts, and others can transform our liv...

I've always said that we do not live our lives in a vacuum.

That is, for every successful person there is a community around them that helped them get to where they are today.

In this episode we talk with Dr. Tonia Phanor about knowing your purpose, getting excited about it and then communicating from that space.

When you do this you are very powerful and can create whatever you want in your life.

Me, myself, and I unpack the lofty topics of:

- faith with respect to science and religion;

- the Two Slit Experiment;

- the Law Of Attraction

... all leading to you releasing your creative kraken in order to:

Create a rich and fulfilled life for yourself...

AND...

A better world for everyone!

What a creative lawyer?

Is that allowed?

It's is not only allowed but required.

For those not completely familiar with all things lawyerin' in the States or Canada much is founded on case law.

With case law and most court proceedings it's all about making connections between the original statutes, historical decisions (precedence and case law), and forming an argument for the curre...

Ever wonder what the price is for not releasing your creative kraken?

Most people view "price" as a bad thing.

It is not; it is simply a statement of the value ($s, power, attention, fame, <insert desired attribute here>) you can accrue based on actions you take.

This show is all about informing your actions by releasing your creative kraken, embracing your passions and dreams, and leverag...

Season 1 is over.

Thank you all for downloading those episodes.

This season we will focus on using the release of your creative kraken to live a rich and fulfilled life.

Episode 8 was very impactful for me.

Zineb Layachi is one of the most fun and inspirational humans I have ever had the pleasure in meeting.

I was so engaged in this conversation that I failed to notice some kinks the audio quality.  After much contemplation I have decided to release the episode as is (rather than rerecord of "fix in post" <== Technically, I fixed in post as much as possible).

In episode 7 I had the pleasure of speaking with Travis Lachner.

Some of  you may know him from his MySpace musician days (just kidding; although he is a good song writer) but more of you know him as the leader of his company Beast Node and the community for creatives Beast Club.

We explore his life experience with the creative process from hockey to music to marketing to producing to... Who knows what's next...
