Join hosts Jared and Joshua in this episode of "Creatives Having Conversations Over Coffee" as they explore the theme of "Embracing the Journey." Hear candid stories and insights about resilience, self-discovery, and the pursuit of validation.
At around 11:55, listen to a pivotal moment: “At that moment, I was either gonna quit this forever, because I’m so embarrassed of how that went. Or I’m gonna go find an open mic tonight, and make up for that by getting on stage and doing something well.”
We tackle the tough question at around 22:31: “What about the 90% that aren’t extraordinary, do they just starve and die?” This segment highlights the struggles many creatives face and the importance of persistence.
Finally, at around 36:40, we dive deep into self-worth: “If I start feeling up or down based on outside factors, where am I getting my values from… because I know the value of who I am and was created to be, I know deep inside that my value already exists.”
Join Jared and Joshua for an insightful episode on embracing the creative journey, finding fulfillment beyond external validation, and staying true to your path. Tune in and be inspired to keep moving forward, no matter where you are on your creative path.
