If you’ve ever dreamed of traveling the world while podcasting or just have an idea that feels far fetched or like you’re reaching for the stars then this episode might give you just the confidence you need to explore that big idea. About 2 and half years ago I answered a call from an indie podcaster who wanted some advice on just how to make this kind of podcast dream a reality.  Travel to art museums around the world to create a podcast that takes art off its pedestal.  Our guest today is Brandi Lin and the spoiler here is that she did it. And when she got back from her podcast travels…I hired her as my assistant.  More from Brandi Lin: Instagram: @brandibrandybuck @artsistory Listen to the podcast Art Sistory Listen to the podcast Spooky Sh*t Do you have a question you'd like to ask on Be Bold Begin?

Each week we’ll ask a question of our subconscious mind by saying it consciously…with some context. What would it feel like to just ask yourself for the changes you’d like to see? To start to think differently about things in your life you would like to change simply by asking yourself…a small question. How it works: you ask a question that does not need to be answered in the moment.  Why it works: your brain does not know how to deny a question. It is designed to answer it. But by asking it in this way…it’s your subconscious mind that does the work for you. Ask and then just let it go. Your subconscious brain will do the work for you. Today's Question: What if it were easy?

The episode I want to share with you today is actually an interview I did with the Future of Work podcast, which is another one I also produce. And I think this will resonate with you because many of you are artists that have your own creative business or are THINKING of having your own creative business or something similar and I share my journey of how I got started and turned my passions into an entrepreneurial journey as well as some of the hurdles along the way.  So if you’re asking yourself questions right now like, “how do I take the leap or how do I shift my creativity into something more” then this one’s for you.

There are many stages to our journeys and acceptance and realization that things like fear and imposter syndrome can creep into any of them is eye-opening and also very healing. Today we remind you that whatever is coming up for you is normal. You are okay, keep going. We're rooting for you.  We are on the topic of Imposter Syndrome and this conversation with Gregory Locklear is one of the most candid, honest and authentic featured thus far on Be Bold Begin. I brought my lapel mics and field recording device to visit Greg in his new Hollywood home so we could talk casually and comfortably which we very much did. We relate over old café conversations about how we would build our dreams, the difficulties of living in Los Angeles, our shared lives in the hospitality industry and of course more specifically Imposter Syndrome.  Gregory's background includes: Producer of an award winning indie documentary called Corman’s World: Exploits of A Hollywood Rebel  Script coordinator on TV Series like I Love Dick, Transp

Today I want to remind you that you are enough and you have immense power inside you. And when we pause and invite the stillness we also quietly invite the parts of ourselves to collaborate in unison and in peace. Let's revisit this guided meditation together and it's message. Join Me. We often don't have time or feel comfortable just "being'. It has loads of connotations attached to it like being "lazy" or not being productive and therefore not being of worth or value. But the truth is we find ourselves in those spaces and crevasses when we sit still and just "be". It often helps when someone else can gently hold that space for you, like this guided meditation. Use it as a tool to find a few minutes of quiet and stillness...and maybe a little more peace than usual.  Do you have a question you'd like to ask?

Here is one of my favorite episodes that I’d like to feature again as a reminder to be kind to the most important person in your life…YOU! The way we talk to ourselves can determine how we feel about a lot of things. First and foremost, it reveals what we really think about ourselves. The first time it was introduced to me to take notice of the self-talk that ran through my mind non-stop was a suggestion that was super revealing. Not only did it feel weird to begin doing it at first but the words that were on repeat in my mind and then also often out loud was ...shockingly negative. We all have things that come easy to us that are difficult for others. And often those are the things we value the least. BECAUSE they’re easy. We don’t think about how we do them, it just happens, it just comes out of us, almost like magic.....but see, that is what magic is. The stuff that feels amazing while we also get to grow and elevate our lives with it and the lives of others. Those are our super-powers!!! We just need to b

It turns out the month of April is associated with healthier living, raising consciousness, new life, light and new beginnings. And in honor of embarking on new beginnings, I wanted to take a moment to take a breath with you, slow down and focus on the present moment in order to be intentional about what will serve you best for you to move through any obstacles that might be blocking your start and/or to bring awareness and intention to what you need to get moving or keep moving. And we're going to do it 5 easy steps!  Do you have a question you'd like to ask? We'll feature it on the show and offer answers in an upcoming episode.

"Imagine if you were born with a disability. A disability that despite many painful surgeries, still left your right side shorter than your left and your right hand unable to make a fist. Can you picture what school or a simple trip to the mall would be like, needing to stop and rest more that anyone else your age? Keah Brown, 28 year-old best-selling author, advocate and public speaker, was born with cerebral palsy in Western, New York State. And although Keah’s mother did her best to shield her daughter from the petty cruelties of her peers, eventually one of Keah’s classmates made fun of her at school, bringing a spotlight to her differences. An act which changed the way she saw herself forever."  That excerpt was written and originally read by Laura Cathcart-Robbins and is taken from the introduction to one of my favorite episodes of a podcast that Laura hosts called THE ONLY ONE IN THE ROOM, which I had a hand in helping create and continue to serve as the executive producer. The full episode is number 2

Yesterday marks the one-year anniversary of Covid-19 officially hitting the U.S and the first shut-downs taking place. So in honor of this strange experience that we all embarked on together across the globe, I have a guided meditation for Overwhelm.  About this episode: The inclination can often be to get to work and get things done when often we need to stop for a second and shift that energy of overwhelm by addressing it and doing some self-care.  Meditation is a great tool to not only relax and get grounded but to re-focus, be intentional and open up to connecting with ourself and our intuition.

I wanted to re-share this special episode in honor of International Women’s Day, which was yesterday. I chose this episode to honor 2 amazing women in my life. One is the special woman who is featured in this episode Julia Fried. She is one of the most compassionate and resilient women I know. This episode is also dedicated to my mom, who just so happened to meet Julia before she left for Germany. My mom is someone who I’ve always been able to share this type of conversation with, who has an insatiable curiosity for nature and all things human and who is one of the strongest, smartest, wisest, most compassionate, empathetic & kindest women I know. As you listen to this episode, I implore you to think of a woman in your life that you would like to honor and maybe even share this episode with her.  About this episode: In this episode I’m talking with the amazing Julia Fried who is a mindfulness & meditation teacher as well as a hypnotherapist and a new mom. She has some great tools and tips for us we ca

We are all beginners in aspects of our expertise. There is usually something more for us to learn and if that is true then that means there are people out there doing what we do well and may have some knowledge that we are still acquiring.  This can lead to feelings of comparison and the truth is that that is an unfair way to be in the process. It’s unfair to you. Listen in for tips on how to combat the comparison at any stage you're in.  Get the FREE companion Podcast Resource Guide now: bebold.avanthausmedia.com/podresourceguide Connect with Barsi on IG: @thebarsi Visit our company website www.avanthausmedia.com for any podcasting or media creation needs.

If you are like me and experiencing some feelings of overwhelm as you gear up to take the leap into starting your new venture and podcast then I have a really simple technique for you that helps with that.

This is where I tell you to go F-it up. Yes, in this episode I’m personally giving you permission to fuck it up. Because there is a point in time where it becomes more important to START, to BEGIN than to keep preparing and preparing. You’ve got to start. It’s the moment we’ve been building towards. You are going to make mistakes. You are going to do things that feel less than perfect. You are also going to get better (if you stick with it). There are so many things that are waiting for you to discover along your journey or see growth in or pivot with and I can confidently tell you that I know FOR SURE that none of that will be possibly until you BEGIN. You must give yourself permission to actually start to put action to your ideas and to your preparation steps. And for me that usually means giving myself permission to completely and utterly fuck it up.  For more resources to help you get started, the FREE companion Podcast Resource Guide is now available: bebold.avanthausmedia.com/podresourceguide To enter t
