This is an episode of The Podcaster Community where Craig Constantine interviews me about all sorts of things involving creativity, analog tape, and abandoning your work. Along the way, we have a lot of fun musing about all sorts of things involved in podcasting! Enjoy!
Episode 103 - The Magic of "Once Upon a Time"
Episode 102 - Creativity and Photography as Magic with Photographer, David Robert Farmerie
Join us this episode of The Creative Playground as we find some creative direction from your homework from episode 101, talk a bit about upcoming episodes and have a chat with documentary photographer, photojournalist, and bon vivant, David Robert Farmerie, about cameras, commonality, and creativity!
Episode 101 - Trains and Fireflies
So here we go. This podcast has been awhile in the planning but now it's a reality mostly because of the realization that if I wait for perfection, it will never get off the ground. This is a story about my journey of discovery and joy that reminds me of what I coach - to rediscover the delight and courage we had as children, take up those wonderful traits, and create. Do it fearlessly and from the place of your passions. This podcast will serve as my reminder of those things and I look forward to sharing this journey with you.

Living the Labyrinth
A few years ago, I returned from a trip of a lifetime to Paris. I come from a blue-collar background and may be the first from either side of my family to travel back to Europe since my ancestors arrived from Wales hundreds of years ago. Believing, as a child growing up, that I might one day travel to some of the great European capitals would be akin to, say, believing that I might travel to Mars. But that did not stop me from yearning to go...
So, here we are...
Magic Things
Believe
"If you persuade yourself that you can do a certain thing, provided this thing be possible, you will do it, however difficult it may be. If, on the contrary, you imagine that you cannot do the simplest thing in the world, it is impossible for you to do it, and molehills become for you unscalable mountains." Emile Coué
I am, by nature, an optimist. I'm not sure how it happened or why but I am glad. If I believe I will succeed, there is a good chance I will. By the same token, if I believe I will fail, there is a good chance I will.
Believe.
Not in success.
Believe in yourself.
Believe you can do it.
The success will come.
