This episode of the Rhythm of the Road Podcast is getting put into reverse as we take a look back at how my journey from 2020 during the pandemic turned into a powerful opportunity for the future. Inspired by programs and resources like the 75 Hard program and Mike Claudio's book,"Too Strong," I ventured into a new chapter of creativity and entrepreneurship, paving my path, beginning with my book, "Road to 99." Through weekly music production and writing, I learned to embrace change and it only fueled my ambitions even more.

If you know me, you know I love my coffee. I even turned my caffeinated habits into an entrepreneurial pursuit. Eventually, the road led me to Box 7 Media, where what keeps me going is sharing stories like this one for YOU. I learned to confront fears, connect with audiences, and spread knowledge through these various creative endeavors and grow through them. Cheers to personal growth, shared stories, and the ever-evolving road we're on.

- Pulling back the curtain on a little bit of my past.

- The creative journey I've been on a few things that helped me along the way.

- What I realized I loved doing the most.

2:10 The mountaintop I was on in 2020.

4:01 How I started going through the shift.

5:57 The Road to 99 was born.

10:18 Evolving in the audio/visual space and what I realized I love doing the most.

In this new episode of the Rhythm of the Road podcast, we're getting messy in the best way possible. We're exploring the metaphor of mixing dirt and water, and how these elements can teach us resilience and adaptability in our journey of being in the "mud". Just like when we mixed dirt and water as kids, we can mix life's gritty challenges with clarity to sculpt new possibilities.

As we work through the metaphorical mud of life, we talk about how obstacles are like brick walls that are tightly bonded sand—ready to be broken through. This episode is all about embracing the messiness, finding beauty in the muck, getting ourselves unstuck, and uncovering opportunities for transformation.

- How to see the beauty in the muck.

- The steps involved in getting out of the mud.

- Letting go of the old is necessary for clarity in moving forward in the future.

2:01 There is beauty in the muck.

3:52 How can you apply this metaphor to your own life?

6:15 Your intention to grow has an impact on others, not just you.

7:03 Let go of the old, let the water start to run clear.

It's COLD here in Minnesota, but I'm just getting warmed up in this episode of Rhythm of the Road! I found the perfect moment to ponder the art of doing less. I'm sharing my own insights into how I handle life's demands with the need to pause and listen to one's inner compass, whether driven by spirituality or just good old-fashioned gut feelings. The key to rejuvenating physically and mentally lies in embracing stillness and using it as a tool to propel yourself forward.

Over the years, I have juggled more irons in the fire than ever, yet the secret lies in doing less but doing it deeply. Slowing down helps you tap into your strengths and passions, encouraging you to focus deeply on what truly matters.

- What slowing down and doing less truly means.

- What you might learn about yourself during the process.

- How I've created more time and memories with people I love.

1:11 What does slowing down even mean?

3:16 When you slow down, you can learn a lot about yourself.

6:06 Weaknesses don't always mean you're headed in the wrong direction.

9:00 How this process has allowed me to create more memories and spend more time doing what I love.

Welcome back to the Rhythm of the Road Podcast! In this brand-new episode, we're exploring ways to embrace uncertainty, conquer our fears of failure, and get out of our comfort zone. Whether you're thinking about a bold business venture or simply looking to spice up your personal life, the real treasure lies in the experience itself, not in the metrics of success or failure. Taking risks opens doors you might have never thought existed, but also remember, it's not about being a "yes" person. Overall, approaching new ventures with curiosity can help you eliminate what doesn't work and highlight what truly ignites your passion. Stepping out of your comfort zone, even in the smallest ways, can lead to a richer, more fulfilling journey.

- Yes, you might fail.

- Don't be a "yes" person.

- New opportunities lead to greater things.

1:16 You may fail, but it's about what you learn and discover along the way.

2:24 The goal isn't to be the "yes" person.

4:05 New opportunities will lead you to greater things.

5:16 What new things are you trying this year?

We're celebrating 2025 with fresh perspectives and the realization that asking for help is actually a superpower, NOT a weakness. I share how seeking help in different areas of my life has enriched my relationships and led to personal growth. I'm also discussing the impact of mentors and coaches, as we emphasize the importance of building strong connections over time. Asking for help also influences the way we show up in various roles—whether as a parent, a coach, or a business leader. By embracing the wisdom of others we trust, we discover new ways to elevate our potential and live a more fulfilling life.

- It's not your fault - we were taught very young that asking for help was a sign of weakness.

- Why asking for help is a superpower.

- It's also okay to offer help where someone needs it.

1:13 The notion that asking for help is a weakness stems from our childhoods and upbringings.

2:14 My life is better simply because I've asked for help.

5:49 People come to me for help and I want them to continue doing that.

7:30 As we ask for help, it's also okay to offer it.

How do you, as an artist, self-promote your work? In this Mixed Media Series episode, Nell and I are exploring how we, as creatives, can navigate the often tumultuous journey of sharing our work with the world. Together, we dive deep into the emotional whirlwind that accompanies releasing creative projects and the varying degrees of comfort artists feel towards promotion.

Throughout our conversation, we confront the elephant in the room that is imposter syndrome, questioning the worthiness of self-promotion and the internal obstacles it creates. We talk about the diverse styles of promotion, reflecting on my inclination for subtle, behind-the-scenes engagement, while Nell embraces more public announcements. Plus, learn the absolute 2 BEST ways to promote what you're doing! We ponder the psychology behind these differing preferences, considering whether they are shaped by upbringing or internal wiring. Authentic promotion through passionate storytelling is our guiding light, no matter how you approach self-promotion.

Happy New Year! Welcome back to the Rhythm of the Road Podcast. In this episode, I'm putting a twist on the "new year, new you" mindset with a shift towards continuous self-improvement driven by fresh, new ideas. It's a liberating perspective, setting small, manageable goals that lead to meaningful change. We'll discuss the art of life planning in three to six-month cycles, a strategy that allows for both growth and flexibility. By setting short-term goals, you can adapt quickly to unexpected changes and seize new opportunities. I’m here to support you as we head out on this journey together, embracing the notion that transformation can start at any time, not just at the beginning of the year.

- How to move on from the "New Year, New Me" mentality.

- Approaching big goals with small steps.

- You can live you life on your own terms.

1:24 We get stuck in the "New Year, New Me" mentality. How to change this.

3:22 Take small steps to make big changes.

5:44 Feeling overwhelmed means you're doing it right...wait, what??

7:14 You can live one quarter or even a few months at a time.
