Unthinkable Podcast

Sat down with Jay Acunzo to chat about the myth of the muse and one of my favorite topics: creativity. The way we've been trained to think is that creativity is reserved for certain people, it's something you're anointed at birth or by some magic experience in childhood. The truth is, we're all creative. We dive deep into this and I give a little sneak peek to #30DaysOfGenius.

Is Snapchat still good for creative pros? The honest review…

I was very bullish on Snapchat back in 2016 (thanks to the urging of friend Gary Vaynerchuk aka Gary Vee who was - as always - very ahead of the curve on Snapchat). But the landscape has changed quite a bit since then, with Instagram adding stories and TikTok dominating the "For You" feed among other things. So the question is, is Snapchat still relevant for creative pros? I'm not sure I'd make it my... read more ›

My Guy Knows His Sh*t: The #AskGaryVee Book Review is HERE

You guys know, if I share something -- a product, a service, an idea, a CAMERA -- it's sure to be something I believe in. Hell, I've even been been paid lots of money to represent brands and gear before but I've only considered things I ACTUALLY USE AND BELIEVE IN. I've spent a decade or more building your trust - and that's too valuable for me to gamble with in an instant. This episode... read more ›

Solving the Freelancers Dilemma…

Problem: the freelance life can be amazing, but there are lots of overlooked pitfalls when you're working for yourself. In particular I'm interested in one problem that none of my freelance friends--nor anyone on the internet quite frankly-- is talking about...and that's movement and physical well being. In a recent #cjRAW, I addressed this head on and we talked about 3 ways to move your body throughout the day (it focused on standup desks, walking... read more ›

The Secret to Finding Beauty is…..

AWARENESS. Awareness is the secret to finding beauty. Recently Kate and I took a quick trip to a small island off the coast of Seattle called Vashon to visit two of our good friends Michael and Angel...I was vlogging the trip. While reviewing the footage, I noticed myself noticing / saying how "beautiful" this or that was, noticing small details in they way something looked or smelled ... like 50 times. In short, it started... read more ›

10 Best Lessons I’d Teach My Younger Self

My dear friend Lewis Howes recently asked me a damn good question. If you could - what would you tell your younger self? My answer sucked. But he told me HIS answer and I thought his answer was a good one... So good in fact that I wished I'd had learned the lessons much much earlier in life. I tried to write this in my own voice, but since the list and story weren't mine... read more ›
