For a long time, I’ve misunderstood where I want my career to be going. Due to my own assumptions and those of the people around me. I finally started to understand why it’s OK to have different goals than I thought I used to.

Like anyone else, I am susceptible to darkness and negativity. Sometimes I can shake it off, but other times I need to find tricks to get myself back to where I want to be.

As I ponder, what really matters to me with regards to people that I hire and myself, I’m finding myself valuing the traditional definition of creativity less and less.

A lull in work and a few quotes have got me thinking about my life goals with creativity.

Everyone else seems like they figured it out. Why can't I?

How I use journaling and podcasting to get myself out of ruts and into philosophy. Also, what IS philosophy?

When should I speak up? When should I not? What difference does it make?

Two great questions to ask in any situation are is this scalable? And does it need to be? So often we can make short term decisions and pigeon hole ourselves into bad habits. Stepping back to examine scalability is important in work, creativity, and friends vs fan relationships. Hi, Allison.

We may miss classified those projects as being failures were incomplete when really they’re not. Taking a few minutes to think about how you think about your work can have some huge impacts on how you work and how much you work.

For the first time I reflect on how I am successful at being creatively prolific. And I distill it down to three things that I used to guide my creative output. Some more as a discovery and a reminder to myself true advice I share these three things now.

In this episode, Shaun reflects on the slow, spiraling journey of discovering who we are—like approaching an unseen truth, closer with each loop. Through journals, changing priorities, and creative struggles, he explores the tug-of-war between consumption and creation. Are we spending our time scrolling, streaming, and reacting—or making something that outlives us? Shaun shares personal stories of...

This episode is about my politics. It is not inviting a discussion, nor is it trying to convince anyone of what to think. This exists solely so that if anyone in the future ever wants to know what I thought for some reason, they can listen to this and find out.

As we live our lives, there are not a lot of opportunities in day-to-day life to reflect on current events and personal struggles and triumphs, in anyway that’ll be passed along thoughtfully. So, who is going to be the one to tell your great grandkids about what you thought about what’s happening in the world right now? If you can take a couple minutes, it can be you.

I keep podcasting in the morning. Everyday. It’s too much. But here’s why I keep doing it.

After a fun competition, I'm thinking about how I approach parenthood and professional creativity.

I’ve been podcasting, theoretically for a couple weeks, and it’s really helpful to my mental health. But I realized it’d be so awesome if more people did that, and made it available publicly to pass down stories and lessons to the next generations. I wish my great grandparents had created podcasts so I could learn what it was like back then. Starting families, building businesses, surviving life....

Religion is tricky, here's where and why I am where I am right now with it.

As we continue to make episodes of our kids show, things have to change. Here's why.
