00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:13,622
Welcome to the first episode of our podcast. And this first episode is simply the why? Why should you listen to this podcast? What are you going to get out of it?

2
00:00:13,686 --> 00:00:23,526
And how can it impact your life? So let's start with what is creativity? Creativity is

3
00:00:23,638 --> 00:00:34,886
the absolute coolest part of being human. We are the only species on the planet that actually can build, can create, we can problem solve, we

4
00:00:34,918 --> 00:00:45,870
can form the communities we want to live in, we can form the relationships that we want to have. We can grow things. And we have this part of

5
00:00:45,910 --> 00:00:57,106
us, which is like a creative spirit that none of the other species on the planet have. It's totally unique to us, but it isn't given the value that

6
00:00:57,138 --> 00:01:08,110
it needs to give, and it definitely isn't given as a tool. And so this program is all about understanding how it's a tool,

7
00:01:08,570 --> 00:01:19,282
understanding how to hack hack it, and how to get the most out of it, and what the benefits are from living from the creative

8
00:01:19,306 --> 00:01:29,710
flow, living from this place of your creative soul. So what the coolest part about this is, is

9
00:01:31,010 --> 00:01:43,234
it's your true self. So what creativity is, is there's this part of us that we're born with,

10
00:01:43,362 --> 00:01:54,584
okay? It's life force, soul, spirit, chih. It could be any of those things. I subscribe to an alien theory that we're

11
00:01:54,632 --> 00:02:05,456
actually aliens put on this planet, and they're having this crazy human experience, and it's part of our punishment. But it's just a fun theory. It's not real, but it could be

12
00:02:05,488 --> 00:02:16,400
anything. But it's what we're born in. With it comes, we're born into this world, and then we go throughout our life with it, and then we die with it, this part of us, this spirit, this

13
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:27,910
soul. And the really cool part about this is that it's like Teflon. It can never be hurt, it can never be damaged, it can never be, no matter what

14
00:02:27,950 --> 00:02:39,078
happens to us on the outside. It's this truth of who we are, and it is where the creativity comes from. So it is, our heads are really just a thought

15
00:02:39,134 --> 00:02:49,342
processor, they're not a thought generator. And the thoughts that come to us are coming from this place. So it is a flow of ideas, it's a flow of

16
00:02:49,486 --> 00:03:00,590
wisdom, inspiration. It's just a constant flow. And so that is who your true, authentic self is, is this place that can never

17
00:03:00,630 --> 00:03:11,750
be touched, like it can never be heard. And so when you start to shift and you get out of your head and you start living from this very cool place where you can solve

18
00:03:11,790 --> 00:03:23,408
any problem, you can do anything. You can create anything. You can become anything. And you are not limited to what this physical body is. That when you start to

19
00:03:23,424 --> 00:03:34,420
live from this place, all of a sudden, everything, like, opens up for you, and it's incredible. And it's. You're tapping into the true source then. And

20
00:03:36,040 --> 00:03:46,336
what it looks like, what it feels like is pre adulting. So if you remember back to

21
00:03:46,488 --> 00:03:57,824
when you were a kid, young child, before any rules or anything were put on you, everything was fun, everything. You explored everything.

22
00:03:57,992 --> 00:04:09,096
Everything was new to you. You were seeing it with fresh eyes. Everything just like the world opened up to you. You put things in your mouth like you could look anywhere, and you know what that

23
00:04:09,128 --> 00:04:20,208
tastes like, you know what that would taste like. You know, everything you explored with every single one of your senses, everything was an experience. And it was like you were experiencing being human

24
00:04:20,264 --> 00:04:31,472
again for the first time. And that there's always this joy with it. Like, there's just a natural joy, there's a natural

25
00:04:31,576 --> 00:04:42,090
curiosity. There's a natural flow. You had a crayon and you had a piece of paper, and you made these amazing masterpieces,

26
00:04:43,390 --> 00:04:54,582
or you had an instrument and you made music, and it all. Everything felt right, and everything was happy, and everything was. It just felt like you

27
00:04:54,606 --> 00:05:06,610
were experiencing humanness again. And so that's it. That's that part of you. And what happens is, as we learn the rules of life, as we learn life

28
00:05:06,730 --> 00:05:18,682
happens to us, it all gets pushed down, and it all gets pushed down by thoughts and self awareness. And the whole program, this creativity program, is about getting back

29
00:05:18,706 --> 00:05:29,498
to that kid, about getting back to where it doesn't matter what it looks like, what you're creating, it doesn't matter what the output is. It's the process

30
00:05:29,634 --> 00:05:39,930
of building and creating. And the very cool thing is, when you start to experience this more, when you

31
00:05:40,010 --> 00:05:50,746
experience the connection to this place, it just makes everything okay, and it makes everything open up. And then all of a sudden, all the

32
00:05:50,778 --> 00:06:01,852
reasons no, like, you have in your head, like, I'm not good enough, I'm not pretty enough, I'm nothing. None of those things exist, because this is, like the perfect you. Nothing that happens on the outside

33
00:06:01,996 --> 00:06:13,596
defines who you are in this place. This is just pure ideas, pure connection, pure authenticity. It's just pure.

34
00:06:13,708 --> 00:06:25,274
There's nothing else that isn't real. This is real. And everything in your head is just processing. So it's just all your thoughts. Everything

35
00:06:25,322 --> 00:06:35,306
is just a processor, and we'll go more deeply into that. But once you learn how to get out of your head. Once you learn how to spend more time here, what happens is that you start to

36
00:06:35,338 --> 00:06:46,714
discover your, the, why? You know, you start to discover, like, what is the reason you've had all the life experiences you've had.

37
00:06:46,842 --> 00:06:57,780
What is your path? What is your journey? And when you discover the passions that come from this, which is the real reason why you're here, your passions, what lights

38
00:06:57,820 --> 00:07:08,596
you up? What makes you goosebumps from head to toe, what makes you truly happy when you discover that in this place, like, what it is you're supposed to be doing, what brings you joy, what

39
00:07:08,628 --> 00:07:19,390
brings you happiness, and what are you supposed to do? And then you figure out that, hey, that's my life path. This is what makes me happy. And then you, you just kind of build that into something.

40
00:07:20,370 --> 00:07:31,114
So as we move forward with this show, so the first part of this show is going to be just meeting me and really understanding. This is absolutely real. This is totally real. It's not

41
00:07:31,202 --> 00:07:43,162
like, it's not some, it's just really how we're wired. It's how things work. It's how everything. How to really hack this and make this part of your life, and then how

42
00:07:43,186 --> 00:07:55,686
to leverage it to become and then create the best life you could. My guests, you know, we'll go through my journey first. And so you really get to know me and realize this is truly authentic. And then

43
00:07:55,798 --> 00:08:06,582
my guests are going to be people that have, are living from their passion. They have developed a business around their passions. They have taken their passions, and

44
00:08:06,606 --> 00:08:17,142
they've dove head first into it, and they're making money. Their whole life is focused on not only for many of them, it's not only their passion, but their passions

45
00:08:17,206 --> 00:08:27,650
are fueling other people's passions. So they're opening doors for people. So everybody, like, whether they wanted to be an actor or they wanted to be

46
00:08:28,830 --> 00:08:40,574
an athlete, or they wanted to be a musician, what their business that they're creating is opening those doors for other people to develop a career based on their passions.

47
00:08:40,702 --> 00:08:52,360
This alignment, this true alignment with who you're supposed to be. So it's really cool. And I have the coolest job in the world. I have a creative factory.

48
00:08:52,740 --> 00:09:03,960
So there's nothing quite like it. And it's this, it's educational programs. It's exposing people to who they really are and their creative nature.

49
00:09:04,860 --> 00:09:16,064
And then we have a factory where we actually make money with creativity. So I have a two, two lanes in my marketing agency. I have creative services,

50
00:09:16,192 --> 00:09:27,416
which are like, really innovative, unique, high end marketing programs. Campaigns that nobody's ever seen. And when you look at this work, there's

51
00:09:27,448 --> 00:09:38,640
something that touches your soul. Like it just ignites you because it's just either so beautiful or so dead on, or the messaging is so fabulous. So that level of creative

52
00:09:38,680 --> 00:09:49,110
services. And then we also have creative search engine optimization. And we are like, we know Google inside and out, and

53
00:09:50,490 --> 00:10:01,338
we get companies to number one on Google and there's nothing quite like it. You know, I've been in marketing my entire life, and, you know, I've done

54
00:10:01,394 --> 00:10:12,410
every type of marketing program out there, and there is nothing like a customer ready to buy, searching on Google, finding you in the top organic search and clicking

55
00:10:12,450 --> 00:10:23,402
on you. And the messaging is right, the answers are right, everything is right, and they buy from you. And so that I found is my two lanes, creative services

56
00:10:23,546 --> 00:10:34,842
and SEO. That's how I build my business and that's what funds this podcast. So, you know, my story is going to be about how did I develop this? How did I go

57
00:10:34,866 --> 00:10:45,496
into a business that totally aligns with my life purpose, my life mission, which is to start a creative revolution. And there is nothing like

58
00:10:45,568 --> 00:10:56,936
the time right now to start a creative revolution. Because of AI, intelligence is going to be viewed differently as we move forward. Intelligence is

59
00:10:57,008 --> 00:11:08,336
not something that will be traditional intelligence because it can all be AI'd. It can be, you know, it can be googled. Their answers are always there. What that

60
00:11:08,408 --> 00:11:19,136
can't do is tap into this magnificent place of original ideas, things that have never existed before, problems that we've never solved before. And so this is the

61
00:11:19,168 --> 00:11:30,112
time. It's just the right moment for this. And developing educational programs about unlocking everybody's creative nature and what they can do with

62
00:11:30,136 --> 00:11:40,100
it. So let me just, before I close this episode, I just want to give you the experience of what it feels like.

63
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:53,528
So when somebody has done something from this part of them, like when music has been created from this part of them,

64
00:11:53,624 --> 00:12:03,900
when, like I said, like graphic design or something new, whether it be humor or whether it be

65
00:12:04,780 --> 00:12:16,092
anything like. Like a beautifully designed home where everything is intentional. And you walk in there and there's just something that calms your soul. There's like this. You feel like there's

66
00:12:16,116 --> 00:12:26,980
a soul connection to it, whether it be to the artist on stage or whether it to be to the athlete. The athlete is having this moment where they're not in their head and they are operating

67
00:12:27,060 --> 00:12:38,208
from this place. And you see it. My daughter was a basketball player, and you could see when this happened. And it's almost like, they could see the future, they could see the

68
00:12:38,264 --> 00:12:48,740
past. They knew where everything was going to be. They were in complete connection with their teammates. They were. There's this magic that's going on and

69
00:12:49,400 --> 00:13:00,896
things that you could never believe happen, happen. And, you know, I was watching a 60 minutes interview with Flea from the Red Hot Chili Peppers, and he was talking

70
00:13:00,928 --> 00:13:11,872
about this experience on stage where he's connected with the music, he's connected with this, he's connected with every member of the audience. And that is

71
00:13:11,936 --> 00:13:23,128
something that's just. That's beyond our comprehension, but we experience it. I was fortunate. I never can stay away for Cavs games.

72
00:13:23,224 --> 00:13:33,844
It's just too late. I'm an early morning person, and I just happened to stay awake for when Donovan Mitchell scored 71 points and no Cavaliere scored

73
00:13:33,892 --> 00:13:45,364
71 points, and I just witnessed it. Like, everything supported him achieving this, like every. Like, the heavens opened, all the teammates, all the opponents, everything

74
00:13:45,532 --> 00:13:56,348
supported that. And, you know, and when you go to see these beautiful paintings that, you know, you connect with them on this level. And so it's tapping

75
00:13:56,404 --> 00:14:07,276
into that. It's tapping into that inspiration, and then it's tapping into, well, what can I do with them? And so that's what this program is going to be about. And then there's also a human component of

76
00:14:07,308 --> 00:14:18,132
it. There are people in this world, and I hope, hope, hope I get this person as a guest that they just see right into your

77
00:14:18,156 --> 00:14:29,178
soul, and they immediately connect with your soul. And you feel when you're around this person, like they've had been your best friend your whole life

78
00:14:29,354 --> 00:14:40,418
and that you feel totally supported and you feel totally connected. And so it's really learning how to take this very, very

79
00:14:40,474 --> 00:14:51,670
sacred, this very special place that we have and just really, how do I live from this place instead of all the crazy drama

80
00:14:52,010 --> 00:15:03,200
in the world and all the noise that's in my head and how do I live from this place? And then how do I take this and how do I leverage this to create my best life?

81
00:15:03,540 --> 00:15:14,684
And so it's really, really, really cool and it's really real. And I will give you example and example, and example, example after

82
00:15:14,772 --> 00:15:25,228
and bring guests on that are living from this place and living their best life. And I hope you join me on the next episode where I talk about my life story a little bit and why I'm here and

83
00:15:25,244 --> 00:15:26,740
why I'm doing this. Thank you.
