What does it actually take to Get After It when your "it" is creative passion? That's what I dug into with this episode's guest, Knives Monroe.
Knives is a creative director and filmmaker who has one of the most powerful stories I've ever heard. We’re talking about a journey that goes from being introduced to film by his mom—realizing "Oh sh*t, I’m a filmmaker"—to the brutal reality of being homeless after finishing his first feature film.
We talk about the fear of putting your work out there and the concept he calls "creative poverty"—the struggle many artists face trying to monetize their skills.
If you’re sitting on an idea waiting for it to be perfect, this conversation is your sign.

I hope today’s episode sparked something within you to pursue your dreams and unlock your true potential. If you found value in it, consider sharing it with someone who might need that same push.
Getting After It is for those who.want to silence their self-doubt. Refuse to be owned by comfort. Understand their limits are man-made and breakable. We live in a time of constant comparison. Social media drowns us in highlight reels and overnight success stories. But what most people don’t see is the grit behind it all. The reps. The quiet mornings. The sacrifices. The failures.
You are just getting started. Keep Getting After It.
