The Creative Entrepreneur Blueprint

Bestselling book author, Jason Jaggard, and two of his colleagues/elite coaches (Janet Breitenbach and David Gerber) from Novus Global joined me in this first of a two episodes! The overall message, going BEYOND high performance. Which for me was actually a phrase that trigged my overwhelmed and overworked soul. But, what the team shared with me was different. If fact in order to work at that leve...

As creatives it's hard to "sell" or "market" what we do. In fact most creatives focus on the creation process because the idea of cold calling someone is stressful. I remove that blocker by sharing with you my tried and true process for calling ANYONE you want to work with and getting their time.

I break down my twenty years of sales strategy into a couple quick tips that you can use, daily, to help you build your business and uncover more revenue.

Josh Ellis, Founder of WithCo Cocktails, sat down to talk about his journey to building he successful company and how he learned some hard lessons about the shadow side of success along the journey. You'll hear how he managed to survive the complete collapse of his family's business, his divorce, and learned to leverage the energy he get's when his back is against the wall. I think this is a great...

After a dinner conversation went down a rabbit hole of AI generated images and how they can impact the news and what we know to be true... I started to really ponder this question, "What the F*ck is real anymore??" I explore this question through the lens of our brains, and recent advancements in AI that are making the lines between reality and altered states a lot more blurry.

All about the way I've been building my business with out doing all the things you're told to do. No social media posting... no awkward sales calls. It's not rocket science and I share with you exactly how I've been doing it.

I wanted to share this episode from the heart. It's not an episode about anger or division, rather one of inclusiveness. To hold space for the humans that lost their lives recently. To also share some ideas on how to help maybe even prevent things like this from happening. This recent tragedy in Nashville opened my eyes to just how close to home these things can hit and what I can do to be a sign...

Jim Carrey said in his commencement speech to a group of graduating students back in 2014, "..my search for identity deepened. I wondered who I’d be without my fame. Who would I be if I said things that people didn’t want to hear, or if I defied their expectations of me?" Those words have stuck with me for years. I ask myself the same thing..and as I move away from what people want to hear and say...

After a tempting offer to adventure in Portugal with a beautiful woman, I listened to my body which told me to stay in Nashville and do a week long fast and silent retreat. The results... so much deep self love, focus, and confidence. It shocked me actually how amazing it was. I share the challenges and wins this week with you.

The biggest regret I'd have in my life is if I didn't listen to my heart and take a chance on building my own creative business. So I left my cushy, $300k/yr salary job to do just that, to build a video production company that I'm proud of. I share with you exactly how I came to the realization and got the confidence to finally leave.

I left my $300k/year job to FINALLY build my own creative business. After years of the side hustle... I'm going all in. Follow me each week as I share with you exactly how I'm doing it. I'll also continue to interview other successful creatives and dive into exactly how they run their business. Tune in each week!

In this episode we explore what it's like living life from a place of force and will compared flow and ease. I was humbled by a successful author at a party recently and it really reminded me of how I can choose to live my life a different way.

Seriously...if you didn't feel fear as much as you do. If we weren't afraid of being successful, of what people think, of doing things the right way. If you didn't let those fears seep into your thinking, what kind of life would you be living? That's the question I explore today after meditating on it myself and realizing my life and business could and would be drastically different. This is an ep...

My guest told me that one of his top three priorities, outside of God and his family, is storytelling and that's what this episode is all about!

So grateful to Carson for helping create this episode given all the years he's dedicated to the subject! Currently Carson Tietjen is the CEO fo...

Listening to Jim Carrey's commencement speech to the Maharishi University of Management was such a moving experience. I found myself floored by the wisdom Jim shared and had to break down my most memorable segments for you. From learning how to manifest your visions, to just trusting in yourself and what the universe has in store for you. Quotes like this are peppered throughout his speech, "So ma...

How to set goals tied to feelings so you're not pushing to get things done... they just naturally happen 2. Using meditation as a w...

This episode is all about learning how to create your own brand script. The same brand script taught by Donald Miller in his bestselling book, Building a Story Brand.

Hey, Hey, it's me. Nathan with the creative entrepreneur blueprint.

It's all about making it really easy to get your message out across social channels with either yo...

I recently finished recording a podcast episode with Jennifer Neal, which kind of blew my mind. It's a five-step framework that she's created, leveraging what some of the best influencers on social media are doing, the systems they use to amplify their brands. The reason I think this episode is so impactful is that before this, the idea of a content calendar or posting content gave me anxiety. Now...

The thing that excited me the most about this episode was going into it, I knew that Jeff had done an amazing job of educating folks via his Instagram handle. But what came out from the episode was he makes a lot of his money through the work that he doesn't post, and that's through his commercial headshots and portrait photography. So, it kind of broke through some limiting beliefs for me. Basica...
