Creative Warriors

Ellen Rogin is the rare person that is as comfortable talking about the power of compound interest as she is the power of belief. In her book "Picture Your Prosperity", Ellen offers one of the most progressive approaches to what makes many people run for the hills. Money. She has the most heart centered and holistic approach to acquiring, managing and creating prosperity I have ever come across.

Highlights from various past episodes on Creative Warriors including Jay Baer, Jordan Harbinger, Ted Coine, David Mead, Ben Newman, Kevin Swan, Thai Nguyen and Corwin Hiebert

Bob Pranga aka Dr. Christmas dropped in to chat about being a Christmas tree stylist to the stars. Bob has pulled off many holiday miracles for star studded celebrities including Candice Bergen, Mario Lopez, Whoopi Goldberg, Alison Sweeney, Nancy Reagan, Shaquille O’Neal, Leeza Gibbons, Kate Hudson, Heidi Klum, Paris Hilton and Christina Aguilera to mention just a few!

The inner workings of creative minds and some of the challenges we face with clinical psychologist Dr. Matthew Kaplowitz. More importantly we discussed how to manage our Ferrari mind when we have bicycle brakes. How when you feel like you have a deficit it can provide you the extra drive and motivation needed to overcome it. Which can lead to extraordinary results if you leave your ego at the door and seek support. 

The #1 challenge a creative person faces every day is creating demand for their work. Without demand you simply can not sustain a profitable business using your talent. This is one of the many topics I happily discuss with todays guest Corwin Hiebert. We had a very thought provoking discussion about creative marketing, idea generation, creativity, and collaboration. 

Since 2008, “social media” as we knew it has changed and continues to morph into something much more than a form of entertainment or a way of doing business. It has given all of us the ability to connect on an intimate level that is so revolutionary that it has the ability to shift entire cultures and force individual transparency at a moments notice. Not unlike a village, the internet has the ability to build relationships, offer purpose and enable like-minded people a place to gather and share. Ted Coiné, the co-author of “A World Gone Social”, believes that “profits as a direct result of putting people first” is a more human way to do business.

Gratitude, abundance and grace are always at hand. I am thrilled to offer a cornucopia of insights on this special Thanksgiving Day episode from todays guest, spiritual teacher Selina Maitreya. I had the great pleasure of speaking to Selina, about how to reduce stress during the Holidays, increase gratitude, and why abundance is “elusive” to many yet always attainable. The perfect accompaniment while you’re preparing dinner or driving to Grandma’s house.

“YOUR success is not just about changing YOUR habits, it’s about changing the way YOU think.” That quote from best-selling author and international speaker Ben Newman may put you on edge or intrigue you and the reality is it should do both! Either way, hopefully it will motivate you to be at your peak performance and in the game 100%.

David Mead is part of New York Times best-selling author Simon Sinek’s team. You may know Simon from his famed TED Talk, “How Great Leaders Inspire” and for being a passionate thought leader that is internationally recognized and most known for his work “Start With Why.” David and the entire Simon Sinek team turn conventional wisdom inside-out to help people and businesses achieve their best results. Results that are focused on WHY we do what we do before the WHAT and HOW of what we do.

I sat down with photographer and author David duChemin to discuss his latest book “How To Feed A Starving Artist". We discuss everything from the #1 money issue most creative business owners face to how a semi-debilitating accident changed “everything” in very unexpected ways. David shares why he too, feels this is the best time in history to be a creative business owner and how a diversified business will be necessary in the future.

WordPress and marketing expert Greg Taylor shares with us his experience about team building, collaboration with others and problem solving. This interview is full of practical business advice including some awesome WordPress tips. Greg is a knowledgeable guy!

A lively conversation with relationship expert Jordan Harbinger of The Art of Charm about how business is a lot like dating. 

Digital marketing expert and best-selling author Jay Baer says that the difference between helping and selling is just two letters. But those two letters are critically important to the success of your business in the age of information overload. Jay explains how smart marketing is about help not hype. This episode is jam packed with incredible information!

Unassuming lifestyle entrepreneur Kevin Swan joins us today to discuss his latest “project”--packing up his family in an Airstream trailer and traveling across the USA. It's about making decisions and acting on them. It's about kicking fear to the curb and trusting that you can solve any problem that arises. Ultimately it's about courage, trust and willpower. Three qualities each and every Creative Warrior must embrace everyday. 

Money mind-set expert Dan LeFave and I discuss money and the unspoken conflict that many creative business owners face. It can be a challenge with something as "tangible" as money to believe that it has anything to do with how we think. The truth is, it has everything to do with how we think.

It all start with our beliefs! In this chat with 5 time author Tom Asacker, we’ll look at why we get stuck in our beliefs, how we can change the stories we tell ourselves to change our results, and how BELIEF is the next big thing in business.
