We all know that this world is fast paced. If you're like me, there's never enough time to do all the things you want. Naturally, the feeling of overwhelm creeps in, hindering our ability to operate as creatives and entrepreneurs. But, when it comes to pursuing the things that we love in life, we have to create time for those things. My guest today, Ari Meisel, is a creator, speaker, coach, and the author of Less Doing More Living, a resource designed to help those of us who feel overwhelmed, become more effective. Ari's teachings break down into three sections on today's show: Self-tracking and the manual of you- basically how to run an audit. Structuring your creative self. I used to think that structure was a waste of time. And suddenly after 10 years, I realized that a little bit of structure around my creativity was the thing that unlocked it. How to take back time and begin moving towards our biggest goals. Half an hour with Ari today and a whole bunch of tactical information to help you hone your craft, your practice and your life. You might want to have a notepad for this one. Enjoy! Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

One of the most powerful understandings I've internalized over the past decade hosting this show is this: the world's top performers, entrepreneurs and creators often feel like they are imposters to their own lives. Operating at the edge of their ability and constantly failing forward comes with the challenge of overcoming self-doubt and imposter syndrome. The good news? It's normal to doubt yourself. Even in areas where I consider myself highly proficient there are still moments in the unknown where I question whether I have what it takes to bring my vision into reality. Remember, every creative effort contains the seeds of a future success. Just like going to the gym, the more you train your emotional and mental strengths to endure the feeling of uncomfortable self-doubt and failure, the more you will persist in pursuing your dreams.

When you feel like you're running in place, not making progress, feeling overwhelmed becomes the norm. Often we gloss over smaller accomplishments, focusing on grand milestones out in the distance. We are biologically wired to focus on the negative, but that doesn't mean you can't take control and flip the script. By celebrating small wins we begin to rewire our brains to recognize the progress we are making. In this episode, I share my experience learning how to celebrate daily, weekly, and monthly wins and why this practice transformed my mindset. Momentum comes from the thoughts that we say to ourselves. Enjoy! Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

If you're in or approaching mid-life and feeling a bit invisible, you might be under valuing one of the most important things you bring to the table: experience. Enter my guest, Chip Conley, who reminds us: Digital skills are will fade or evolve over time. Human skills such as good judgement, specialized knowledge, ability to collaborate and coach never expire. Chip is the hospitality maverick and NYT bestselling author who disrupted his favorite industry... twice. At age 26 he founded Joie de Vivre Hospitality (JdV), transforming an inner-city motel into the second largest boutique hotel brand in America. He sold JdV after running it as CEO for 24 years, and soon the young founders of Airbnb asked him to help transform their promising start-up into the world's leading hospitality brand.

Your conscious mind is a critic. If you rely on it too much while you're working, you'll struggle to make progress. In this episode, I share a simple, repeatable process to finishing work you start without self-judgement weighing you down. The idea here isn't to win the next high praise for your best work, it's about taking whatever action you can, and repeat. Having your work recognized will come in due time. For now, the task is to continue honing the craft. Finish what you start. Choose action over intellect. Enjoy! Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.

Kindness is a super power and a breath of fresh air in a world where negativity and hardship aren't hard to find. Yet what my guest Adrienne Bankert found, is kindness isn't merely about being nice. A mindset of kindness ripples into a staggering amount of personal fulfillment, growth, and empowerment. Adrienne Bankert is an Emmy and Edward R. Murrow Award-winning correspondent for ABC News, Good Morning America, World News Tonight, and Nightline. She reported live from Chiang Rai, Thailand, during the rescue of thirteen boys and their soccer coach as the world watched the historic rescue. Her compelling interviews from guests that range from wounded warriors to celebrities including Lady Gaga, Bradley Cooper, Dwayne Johnson, Ryan Reynolds, and more have gained widespread attention. Adrienne saw firsthand how the power of kindness can work in her career. Uncertain about where she would go next and determined to pursue her dream of being on national TV, she took a chance and landed a Los Angeles reporting job. Her new boss told her it was her reputation for kindness throughout her career that was the key to her being hired. Just a few months later, that opened the door to the biggest break of her life. In this episode we dive into: How to make kindness a habit to bring you more peace, inspiration, and impact. How to use kindness to reconnect with your authentic self How kindness at the workplace can lead to opportunities and so much more Enjoy! Today's episode is brought to you by CreativeLive.
