  13297: It’s Hardly Ever Just One Thing That Makes The Difference

  Aug 17, 20264 minS30

  Hey there, hero! If you could talk to your career crush, the one person that you’d trade places with in their artistic journey, would you ask them what the one thing is that made the difference for them? I’d like to propose that there is a better question to ask, and a better answer to hear, because it’s very rare that one thing someone does makes all the difference. I think the better question to ask revolves around how things worked together in their life to make their journey special. Do you feel like there’s a secret your missing? Or do you feel like there’s a recipe you’d like to know about instead? Let me know in the comments below.

  Episode #13296

  13296: So...About Those Contradictory Rules.

  Aug 10, 20269 minS30

  Hey there, hero! “Look before you leap.” (Get some basic info before you head into the unknown.) …versus… “He who hesitates is lost.” (Be bold, and go for it. Damn the potential pitfalls.) So, which is the rule to follow? The answer is, like in most messy, life-y things, “it depends.” There are plenty of real world examples of “contradictory proverbs” in what we do as performers. In this episode, we talk about one specific clash of “rules” when it comes to your demos. How do you reconcile opposing rules? What strategy do you put in place when there are two (or more) ways of working things out according to the “rules”? Let me know in the comments below.

  13295: The Dream Is Seductive. The Pursuit Is Productive.

  Aug 3, 20265 minS30

  Hey there, hero! If you find yourself looking at how those you know (or you) are really good at coming up with dreams in life, goals to be fulfilled and destinations they (or you) would like to arrive at in life… …but they (or you) never quite get to some, or many, or most, or almost all of them… …remember that the easiest part is to use that creative energy in your makeup and simply envision those dreams, goals and destinations. Finding oneself complaining that one never gets anywhere in life might just boil down to being super diligent about the second half of the title phrase of this episode. Execution. Persistence. The work. And often, all one needs is a reminder: Work the work. One can’t just dream the dream. Let’s look at this simple connection in this episode. Do you know people like that? Might that someone sometimes be…you (I know that, sometimes, it can be me!)? Let me know in the comments below.

  Episode #13294

  13294: Consider A Win Audit Instead

  Jul 27, 20265 minS30

  Hey there, hero! Not everything we undertake is a complete success. But we also rarely walk away with a complete and utter failure, with no takeaways whatsoever. If you attempt something, try to learn something, stretch outside your comfort zone and find that not everything worked out perfectly…consider taking a moment and doing what I call a “win audit”. There’s always some takeaway (or several) that you can learn from, be happy with and enumerate that help you keep things in perspective, and help you remember that even a partial win is valuable, and even a partial failure is a learning opportunity. How do you view the partial wins? What’s your frame of reference if things don’t work out perfectly? How do you avoid beating yourself up as opposed to looking for the tiny wins in life’s less-than-perfect results? Let me know in the comments below.

  Episode #13293

  13293: On Arguing For Your Limitations

  Jul 20, 20264 minS30

  Hey there, hero! Richard Bach once said, "Argue for your limitations and, sure enough, they're yours." Wow…does that resonate with me. And I hear examples all the time…from my students, my colleagues and my peers. People can convince themselves of almost anything, and they often do. I hope you check on all the assumptions you have taken as gospel, and in this episode, I want to help remind you to question the “facts” you “know” about yourself. Do you question your limiting beliefs? Do you ask whether what you tell yourself is actually true? How do you combat this and give yourself more options? Let me know in the comments below.
