MugenCast: Inspiration For The Everyday Creative MugenCast Ep. 70 - 'Know Thy Self" ft. Gajan Balan (Visual Artist and Director)One of the best feelings (in my opinion) is to have a great conversation. An interaction with someone that’s enriching and meaningful. Sometimes you talk to people that just….inspire you. The podcast today is me having that conversation. With one of my favorite contemporary artists. Long time listeners of the show you will know that I actually interviewed this same guest three years ago in the midst of the pandemic. Quite a lot has changed in his life since then and I just felt like this was a great time to pick his brai...

MugenCast: Inspiration For The Everyday Creative MugenCast Episode 69 - 'Extraordinar-ie' ft. Ron Toles Jr (Founder of Ordinarie Heroes)The world of non-profits is an interesting one, a fact that I actually didn’t know until recently. The title of non-profit comes with a complicated legacy that intertwines with the checkered past of America. But the reassurance I have in the non-profit space comes from founders and organizers like my guest today, Ron Toles. The founder of the Philadelphia-based non-profit Ordinarie Heroes. OH is an organization focused on community building and engagement. With a focus in the neighborhoods of Philly, the organization has been going strong for 10 years. Consistently connecting with communities in a wa...

MugenCast: Inspiration For The Everyday Creative MugenCast Episode 63 - 'What Do You See...?' ft. Karina Gutierrez (Founder of MyStrategicSoul)My guest today isn’t a creator in the normal way you might think. They don’t take photos or paint pictures (they did model for a little bit but that’s a different story for another time). Rather they help others to create better lives for themselves. They use the art of psychology, holistic healing, and mindfulness to guide others to a better state of mind. My guess today is Karina Gutierrez the founder of MyStrategicSoul. And aside from being my coach, counselor and one of my clients! Karina is an amazing energy to be aro...

Or better know by her online brand “Beat By Beti”. And what I love about this interview is Beti’s honesty about her experience as a creator over the past few years. The good, the bad, the ugly.

MugenCast: Inspiration For The Everyday Creative MugenCast Ep. 58 - 'True To Yourself' w/ Dyani Hairston (Fashion Model)You know this episode takes me back to the earlier days of MugenCast.

From cats fighting in the background to brussel sprouts almost burning to a ton of technical difficulties this was a really fun conversation. But as fun and playful as it it was, my guest this time around presents an interesting take on modeling as an art, and how growth as a person can coincide with a growth in a creative passion.

And the story of Leigh Ellis (The Starters/No Dunks podcast) is the epitome of that idea. Now in his 40’s Leigh has carved out a respectable career as a sports media personality and analyst. But the story he tells in this episode predominantly occurs years before that success... In this episode we dive into Leigh’s past: growing up in Australia, working odd jobs overseas, finding the love of his life in another country, and all the ups and downs before he ult...
