Over the Edge

Quick update on what's to come. Also a little poem by John Maxwell. I've said this before, and I'll say it again, you can buy John's book of poetry and read his first full body of work: https://www.amazon.com/Hammering-Nails-Poems-strange-topics/dp/B0BNJHYVG3 Thank you guys so much for joining me on this journey. There's lots more to come.

Things are continuing their upward trajectory here at Sleepy Dog Creative. We're set with a larger amount of money in the account than we've had before, but we are also faced with a surplus of projects to get done. With a bunch of new challenges, I'm learning there are some problems in my current business model, and these problems would push me into the hardest season I had ever walked through. So...

TW: This episode contains themes that may be sensitive for those who have experienced trauma in spiritual or religious spaces and contain some conversation around SA. In this episode, we're getting into some complicated waters, particularly around the idea of the ethics of storytelling; in other words, what do you do when you find yourself creating something that you don't think that you should. L...

As business continues to ramp up, I begin to survey the landscape of Sleepy Dog and make a decision: I will take on as much work as I can to build a buffer in the business so I can hire my first employee. John challenged this idea, worrying that was taking on too much, but despite his advice, I pushed forward, working longer and longer hours. Little did I know that I was building a debt on my body...

Oh man, we’ve got a lot to talk about. What do you do when life smacks you in the face with opportunity, and how do you evolve when, in an instant, your business moves faster than you planned? Suddenly, life presented me with a choice: to hunker down and get comfortable, or to step over the edge once again and grow. Some themes to ponder: -The decisions you make today MUST be informed by where you...

COMING SOON. The story is just getting started, and we have a lot to talk about. New episodes streaming Tuesdays at 7AM.

I’ve been reworking this episode for the past several weeks. I had it all nicely laid out. You see, this episode was supposed to be part 2 of my process on finding my niche, but no matter how much I want my life to play out in an orderly, serial tv sort of fashion, life just isn’t that clean cut. Instead, this episode is about fear. Not so much the dreaded fear of heights or the dark or even the f...

We’ve got a problem on our hands. I started Sleepy Dog Creative blissfully ignorant of a couple key issues right at the center of it all. Now, I’m on a journey of soul searching, whiteboard sessions, and conversations from trusted friends to figure it all out. Some themes to ponder: -The more specific you can get about what you do and who you do it for, the more stable and successful your business...

This is the start of great things. Join me as I document my journey of stepping outside my comfort zone and starting my business. Along the way, you'll hear from trusted friends, candid clips from meetings and my own journal logs. We're on this journey together. Let's do this.

It turns out life on the other side of the edge is as unpredictable as it seemed. Big wins and big losses become the norm. When life becomes so chaotic, you will find yourself in a daily clash between hope and desperation. Some themes to ponder: How do you hold tight to hope in the middle of desperation? Don’t ever take for granted the people who believe in you. When you decide to jump over the ed...

Welcome to Over the Edge! This will be a wild ride, I just know it. But if I'm going to tell you a story about the present, I need to start by telling you a story about the past. Some themes to ponder: How do you get back up after you fail? If everything you had was not enough, doesn’t that mean you’re not enough? Everything we want lies on the other side of fear. At the edge, when all is said, is...
