218 - Want More Followers? Ask Yourself This

The episode is CREATIVE REAL TALK. No music. No frills. One take. In this episode I share my current struggles, the lessons I'm learning right now in real time, and why I've been doing some unprecedented (for me) levels of soul searching in my life over the past 3 months. This is a very vulnerable / real / authentic episode. I hope it's a welcome brief change of pace that encourages and comforts you! We talk about: - The question to ask yourself if you want more followers - Why you're not able to be authentic in your work - Your role in the hero's journey as an artist - Dealing with nagging put downs from the past or present ---- Conferences Dreamtopia Workshop with Cathy Heller & Friends in L.A.
