Ep. 032 - With These Words I Create

Welcome to Attorney Heart, the podcast focused on bringing awareness to and promoting attorney well-being! The next Attorney Heart episode is definitely unique and highly applicable to the legal profession. I interview artist, musician, songwriter, and facilitator Jeremy “brotha James” Reisig. Brotha James shares how he was making over $200,000 before he decided to pursue his passion for music and use music to improve people's lives. We discuss the importance of remaining aware of the self-perceptions that you focus on because those are the ones that will expand. Shifting over to the music industry was challenging at first for brotha James as he had limited guitar-playing skills, but he suggests you go several levels deep on this question: “What is your WHY?” When you do so, you discover and deepen your relationship to work that you are passionate about and it is much harder to give up or quit. Brotha James gives a shout out to award-winning speaker and #1 bestselling author Jon Vroman who taught him the importance of creating front row moments in other people’s lives every day. Brotha James also covers how gratefulness changed his life and why he decided to write his song “Grateful” which we share at the end of the episode. Brotha James kindly provides a free copy of the song to Attorney Heart listeners and you can get it by texting “Grateful” to 44222. The name of his new Album is “Abracadabra” and to find out more information about brotha James, his music, his tour, and his book, you can visit his website here: https://www.brothajames.com/ I hope you enjoy this powerful, uplifting, and positive episode! -- New Attorney Heart interviews will be posted on iMATER NOW’s YouTube channel.
