On this episode we are talking about your alter ego and who you represent could help you get to the next level in your creative quest. Black Mamba, Sasha Fierce (Beyonce), The Rock, Adele. These names are synonymous with various attributes, qualities, demeanor, strengths, and resilience. And what you believe to be true has incredible effects on your mind and your body. The Batman Effect refers to the finding that children perform better on a challenging task if they pretend to be someone else, such as Batman, who would be good at the task. One of my favorite movies that I refer to often is The Dark Knight rises, the villain Bane talks to Federal agents before he proceeds to kill them, telling them know one knew who he was before he put on the mask. We put on our personas everyday when we wake up ready to show up in the world. If you had an alter ego who would it be? How would that persona show up? What are the morals, values, etc. that your alter ego would have? What would it represent? What are your non

This episode was from a conversation with the owner of Sands Coffee Roasters, a new coffeeshop in Oceanside. As we were chatting he was telling me the story of how his make shift coffee trailer came to be. A labor of love, he showed me all the edges where he put things together, he didn’t say it was perfect, but there was an inner beauty in the imperfections. When he shared that to me I knew I had my next episode. This also goes back to the philosophy of kintsugi or learning how to mend broken pieces of pottery or other items back together using powdered gold, silver or platinum. It shows the story of the object rather than hiding its imperfections. Annoucements: My good friend Jarrod Dunn founder of the T.A.P.

This episode the context of this topic is based from a talk that Coach Timmy Box, the head coach at Palomar College and the US National Beach Wrestling coach gave after a practice, along with some insights from watching the Olympic Games and seeing the array of world-level talent on display for everyone to witness. Many times we find ourselves comparing our circumstances to others. We all have our mountains to climb. Some get to the top faster than others, if you can stay consistent, resilient, creative and keep the dream alive you will get to your apex. When you get there take it all in, because sooner or later you will have to go back down to the valley to pursue an even bigger mountain. I gave some quick shoutouts to the Covet Art Gallery in Oceanside, Ca. they have an exhibit this weekend with a few pieces of my artwork on display and other amazing artists in the gallery space for people to connect and purchase a piece of art.

On this episode we bring on Jarrod Dunn, an entrepreneur and founder of the TAP (Transitional Accountability Program) House, a program working with inmates looking to get themselves in an environment that teaches skills, shelter and resources, allowing them to enter back into society with a better foundation. This program sits close to the chest with him being a former inmate and addict, and he knows that if he had a program like this when he was released, he knows he would’ve been in a better situation. Being the creator he is, he saw a gap in an area of need and decided to build something around that. We talk about environment, and why it’s crucial for everyone, the challenges of building a program like this, creative tips and words of wisdom. He also has a weekly show called Solutions that airs in his hometown as well.

On this episode I share a story from my recent travels on the east coast. I usually have the opportunity to do wrestling clinics while I’m back in my hometown of Cleveland, TN. At the end of the clinic we did some team relays, but the results of it turned into the context of this new episode. It’s not how you start, it’s how you finish. When things get rough from time to time, feeling anxious, nervous about the future or an opportunity, or maybe not having the best of days, what do you get anchored back into to help you get grounded, to get clear, and reset your energy? This anchor can be an activity, a place or people. These mainstays help you stay the course when those storms come.

She attained a cum laude BFA from the University of Arizona and received her MFA from the New York Academy of Art.   She currently resides in Oceanside, CA and is a working artist and art instructor.   Margaret uses figurative painting to invite the viewer to enter a unique world or moment.  Spending hundreds of hours on a single piece, painting everything by hand in traditional techniques, she obsessively renders her subjects, caught in moments when they are open and expressive.  Through her chosen genre, Magical Realism, she fuses reality with imagination to create a visceral new “world” for the subject to dwell in and the viewer to observe. She shares her story, insights into art, creativity, productive feedback, handling criticism, creative tips and more!
