Leaving Security and Going ALL IN as a Creative | Mark Shiiba

from Unconventional Leaders

If you feel a deep calling but are absolutely terrified to switch careers, this is for you.Mark Shiiba was working on nuclear reactors aboard an aircraft carrier when he made the bold decision to leave the Navy and share his music with the world. I discovered him on Season 26 of The Voice, fell in love with his music, and immediately noted his old soul. I had to bring him on to talk about all things spirituality, creativity, and what it means to make the bold, friggin' choice to lean all the way in.WATCH EPISODES ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/heatherparady TOPICS FROM THIS EPISODE:Self-mastery vs. flow and creativityNavigating next steps when you don’t have an exampleLeaning into the work (no one is coming to save you)Balancing writing for your audience vs. yourself (they keep you honest)Morality and the pursuit of your dreamsCONNECT WITH MARK SHIIBAInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/markshiibamusicWebsite: https://markshiiba.com/CONNECT WITH HEATHER:Follow Heather on IG: https://www.instagram.com/heatherparady/ Access Full Show Notes Here: https://www.heatherparady.com/blog/99
