- There are times were you may find yourself asking... am I up for this? So we take this on and dig into it. We uncovered some interesting stuff. It is not always easy to take on the big important things that we truly want so we may find ourselves avoiding them or even running away from doing it. Do you ever distract yourself instead of doing the sometimes uncomfortable task of going after your goals and dreams? On this episode we consider an approach to tackling the big opportunities in our lives... as well as determining wether or not we truly want to to take them on. The answer may be "no" sometimes and that is actually okay. What is important is that we have a way of getting to a clear decision about it and a way to either move on from it or get after it. …If you enjoyed the episode please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast, SHARE it with friends and check out the official website for further access to the show… — www.wayoftheartist.com —

- We get into how keeping it simple is often the solution to all that gets in our way. It can actually be a superpower if we allow for it. It's worth considering the question... can we even do "complicated"? It might look like it on the outside from the observer's point of view, but really complicated things are often built upon many smaller simple things that work well together. So what is the core thing here and is it being honoured above all else? That is what you need to always ask yourself. If you do you might just find things are easier than you thought. At one time you might not have been able to do it, but then suddenly it's like you have a superpower when you simplify it for yourself. …If you enjoyed the episode please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast, SHARE it with friends and check out the official website for further access to the show… — www.wayoftheartist.com —

- Want to hear a perspective on what it's like to be a full time working actor? Brendan Taylor shares his experience of finding his way there. Someone who started late, but hung in through the challenging moments to carve out a path for himself. He shares his stories of just trying to get a gig while maintaining a day to day income, and takes us all the way through to making his acting a full time gig. It's not easy to make a career for yourself in the arts, but it's definitely worth trying. The key is to never convince yourself that there will be a day where you made it, but instead to embrace gratitude with each success. At the end of the day we are fortunate if we get to do what we love... and even if it is only temporary, it's important to enjoy it while it's there.

Preview #135 - Perspectives for Leading a Creative Life by Brandon Colby Cook & Evan C. Schulte
- Does your creative spirit often get neglected because you have things to do that are always more important? What is the cost of this neglect? It's actually very easy to convince ourselves that what is truly most important to us is not as pressing as our day to day responsibilities. We can also easily avoid nurturing what truly matters by just wanting to feel better in the moment. This can cause us to fall into habits of temporary comfort instead of building a creative outlet that is fulfilling. In this conversation we get into making your dreams, visions and creative aspirations something you put first. We discuss some ideas on how to treat it as important... because at the end of the day, you know it is! …If you enjoyed the episode please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast, SHARE it with friends and check out the official website for further access to the show… — www.wayoftheartist.com —

- Original thought means you have something that not everyone else has. It means standing out from the crowd. Are you willing to do that? This talk takes on the challenges that come with allowing yourself to think, move and even feel differently than what is commonplace. To allow yourself to step outside of what the status quo is and embrace something that is unusual or new takes a certain amount of courage to fully investigate. It can be difficult to not be understood or liked by others immediately with your creative explorations and what comes of them. So how do you navigate all that? Join us as we discuss a few ways to look at this differently and maybe you will find the encouragement that you need to step outside of your own limits. …If you enjoyed the episode please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast, SHARE it with friends and check out the official website for further access to the show… — www.wayoftheartist.com —

- Can you disappear into your art? On this episode we discuss how clinging to the ego is what keeps us small and limits our potential to be truly creative. The need to control creativity in an attempt to suit your own self-image is a sure fire way to stifle what is possible. The ego is like an anchor to what is known and by allowing it to dominate your expression you keep yourself within the limits of common ideas. It is in abandoning your self image that you will discover what is truly hidden within you. By fully doing something and allowing yourself to play at it as you enter the unknown you open up to profound discoveries. Join us as we look into how to leave the ego at the door and let the artist enter instead. …If you enjoyed the episode please SUBSCRIBE to the podcast, SHARE it with friends and check out the official website for further access to the show… — www.wayoftheartist.com —
