Rise To Inspire

On this episode, we talk about your life being reflected as a video game. That each level you go through-defeating challenges along the way, you will meet some challenge equated to that level. The higher up you go, the bigger the devil (or level boss) associated with that new level of your life. Are you one that learns along each level-gathering up the weapons, shields, abilities, and resources along the way, or are you one that wants to hurry to rush through each stage trying to finish the game and never learn anything along the way?

On this episode we talk with creator, author, and model Leon Dawes. He’s got a new series out called Soul Stones “Ecclesiastes Mistress of Souls” available in comic book shops and online @comixology. We share his origin story, from his tumultuous upbringing to where he is today.

This is a great episode and conversation that really hit home for me, being raised in the projects myself.

This throwback episode this was taken from a conversation from me and fellow wrestling coach and creative. I alluded to the concept of a bird and its nest, and if you try to enable and help the baby bird before it hatches, you could cripple or kill it. Likewise if you allow it to chip away everyday and absorb all the nutrients and strength it needs it will break out of its own shell into the world. This is relatable to our lives, career, coaching or creative work. If we allow everyone to bust us out of own shell, we may not be ready for what life gives us-good or bad.

On this episode, based around my uncle and one of my first art teachers, Lionel, who passed away some years ago. I share a story from my younger years and just learning how to draw. He gave me a valuable insight that I would never forget till this day. When you look back and understand all the lines, smudges, mistakes, and marks it took to get where you are going. You understand and become grateful of the process. Any artist that you know of had to start from somewhere. But if you focus on the small things-you’ll get to your life’s quest eventually.

On this episode we talk about Support-more importantly why it may be hard for the ones around you to actually support you. This can be a frustration for many in the creative/entrepreneurial/athletic arenas. Why is it easier for strangers to support us than our immediate circle? The context for this episode is taken from a conversation with a indie comic book creator and his mother. Which had me thinking after the conversation-Why is it hard to get that support from the ones around us? Some creative insights and inspiration for your week.

This episode we talk this concept. People like water will seek its own level. Negative people generally hangs out with negative people, and positive will hang around positive. Figure out ways of hanging with people that want to exchange ideas, resources, solutions, connections. If you’re generally a positive person and you hang around negative people-odds are you will be the next one. Likewise you hang around high growth people, you will most likely be the next one.

In this Special Brew episode of the Creative Brew, I bring my lovely wife Heather onto the show. We flip the script and she turns into the host and interviewer, for this episode, diving into questions about my world and a lot of things that I do from running Langfordesign and Just Heart Apparel to creating books and characters like Seed and Mush Mush, from working with organizations, starting an arts scholarship in remembrance of my mom, to me competing in college wrestling and even now still training and competing, recently winning a US Open Masters Championship. I give shoutouts to various individuals and organizations, and also a quick shoutout to my wife who's recently started her massage therapy practice. Be warned there's a few times where we get a little emotional on things so if my voice gets a little crackly you'll understand why. When I look back I've accomplished and created so many things it's hard to keep count, but for anyone that may be listening, the path is to keep going, keep creating, t

186. Love your Struggles This episode we talk about loving your struggles. I know it can be hard to deal with the daily struggles and challenges in lives. But what if reframed our challenges as teachers? Could our challenges lie the greatest insights and answers in our lives? Could we acknowledge and love those struggles, eventually loving them in order to dissolve them and perhaps go into the next level of our lives? This is tough because this is for me as well. You were built with unique talents and gifts-but it comes with the challenges and obstacles as well. But you’re uniquely qualified for your set of challenges. Better yet, what if your story could change the trajectory of someone else’s life? Brewing some inspiration for your week!

This episode We talk about learning how to support others. I’ve seen it too many times being a creator/coach. When we play the comparison game, learning how to bypass our own egos to magnify and promote ventures, opportunities, businesses that others are doing-and being fully confident in who we are, we actually gain more power and gratitude within ourselves. The season you’re in right now may not be your time. It may be the time to work on your craft, gain new skills, build new relationships and support your peers in the things they have going on. When we stop comparing-this is when we all rise up, because we genuinely want to see everyone succeed in their journeys. So this week what could you do to support others? You want to support local? Share their page. Purchase something. Become an advocate. Volunteer. What you give always comes back in some form or fashion. Brewing some inspiration for your week!

185. The Dream Deferred This episode, we’re back from a short hiatus, with a new episode from a topic sent to me from a listener. We talk about the Dream Deferred, the cost of not going after the things you were put here on this planet to do. Many times we fall into the delusion of feeling like we always have tomorrow. There’s someone that’s waiting for the right words to hear, the music to feel, the art to see and experience. They are waiting on you to become who you need to be. If you don’t pursue your dreams in some form or fashion, there is a price to pay. Could right now be the day that you say that’s it-I will express the creative power that’s inside me to be a benefit to my family, to society, to the world; and not only save someone else’s life, you saved yours because you finally showed up.
