Episode 8: You Have One Job

Hello Creative Friends,   This episode is for the graduate kiddos. You Have One Job... and it's do figure out what you truly want, and do it. Simple. Not Easy (in the slightest).  Doing what your soul truly wants is the greatest gift you can give to the world. Far more damage is done to the planet and others by those living quiet, lives of desperation trying to live in a way they "believe they should live."  Interestingly though, we're usually taught the virtues of sacrificing what we deeply want for others. In this episode I tell some stories about the contrast I experienced living in both ways. This is for the graduates, but also for me. I still need these stories even now, and I hope it serves you in personal ways as well.
