This week I spoke about discipline, and it's relationship to habit building.

This week I spoke about the idea of being original, and whether or not it's actually possible.

Throughout my own career, I've used the process of reverse engineering other peoples work as a form of education, and I think that by allowing yourself to take inspiration from others, you'll garner the knowledge and tools necessary in order to create your own style. So rather than seeking out originality, you should instead look to combine the work of your idols into a new piece of creativity, which to onlookers, will appear to be an original.

This week Tom speaks on mastery vs success, and the importance of having goals dedicated to achieving each. 

With mastery, you will achieve some form of success. But success does not necessarily result in mastery.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode 🎙

This week I discussed the never ending cycle of experience in regards to my business. Going from doing something that scares me, to realising it wasn't all that intimidating after all, to taking advantage of all the new doors that have opened up because I took that risk and repeating!

Episode 33 is live 🎙

This week I discussed the importance of being willing to start before you're ready. 

So many people build up this big frightening version of what it means to start a podcast, youtube channel, business, or any other creative venture, and that version they end up creating in their own minds ends up stopping them from doing something that is actually fairly straight forward.

Preparedness is useless, because you can never be truly prepare yourself for the challenges you'll face once you actually start. So stop preparing for it and start before you're ready!

EPISODE 31 🎙

In this weeks episode I spoke on failure, and the power and confidence you can develop if you really lean into and embrace failure as a necessary part of developing as a creative, business owner or whatever else you pursue.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode 🎙

This week I spoke on being a professional, and giving yourself enough opportunities to put in the time. A lot of creatives complain of burnout, and a lack of inspiration whilst simultaneously leaving their creative work to chance, only sitting down to make something when the stars align and the time presents itself.

Even something as small as an hour a day of complete creative freedom, can make a world of difference 📚

Episode 29 is live 🎙

This week was a little bit of a mixed bag of ideas, I jumped between a whole range of topics, so it was fun to just speak my mind and see where the hour took me.

So I hope you enjoy this weeks episode.

This week we're talking all about making money online, and my experience with growing an online audience, and some of the expectations that come along with that sort of experience!

When your "success," and I use that word success, very hesitantly, because followers certainly don't equal success. When that number is so outward facing and obvious, you can often end up with the people around you, who don't have any experience in this industry, developing an expectation that you must be making $X of you should be selling Y. When often times, the reality is usually very different.

There is no shame in having, 20k, 50k or 100k followers plus, and having a part time job. Don't let the expectations of those around you with zero experience influence your business behaviours.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode!

This week I spoke on the topic of working to your strengths, and identifying which mediums, platforms or formats lend themselves best to your personality!

Each of us only have a finite amount of willpower to spend forcing ourselves to be consistent, so the name of the game should be figuring out what style, what medium, or what platform best matches your talents, and working backwards from there

Hope you enjoy this weeks episode.

This week I wanted to discuss insecurities, a very personal topic in my own life. 

I was an extraordinarily self conscious young man for much of my adolescent years, I really cared what other people thought of me, which lead to some insecurities that took a long time for me to overcome and move past once I became an adult. So today I want to discuss some of those insecurities and the things that I did and continue to do to move past each of those challenges. 

I am now a very comfortable, happy & confident bloke, but that wasn't always the case, so I wanted to speak on that today.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode!

Episode on self doubt - https://spoti.fi/3kAbNTr

This week I wanted to talk about social media, and how I believe it plays a role in you finding your true voice as a creator.

I don't think there has ever been a time in history where supporting yourself financially as a creative entrepreneur has been so accessible, but with that comes a world & platforms that demands a tremendously high output from you as a creator, and that, I believe, isn't conducive to creating your best work and finding your true creative voice.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode.

Been stuck in a bit of an overthinking rut lately, particularly with my YouTube channel.  But the interesting thing I've noticed, is that all the feelings of self doubt and critique I feel for my YouTube videos, are the exact same feelings I get before I sit down to record a podcast, the difference? I have developed an ability to completely ignore those voices when it comes to my podcast, yet can't seem to shake them for my YouTube...

Why is that? Why is it that in one part of my life I have something under control, and in another that same thing is completely destroying my potential to make the changes I know I need to make in my life? Today I spoke all about this topic, and how I believe Steven Pressfield's Idea of "Resistance" and "Turning Pro" are the answer to my problem.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode!

A common thread I tend to hear when talking to my creative friends, is a sense of ignorance they have when explaining their goals or desires. It's almost as if they disregard the real implications of their ambition and ignore all the risks and hurdles they may experience. However It's not the sort of ignorance that leads to problems, It's actually the exact opposite. I think there is two very clear types of people, those that see the path in front of them, and those that see the mountain peak on the horizon. Both have the exact same goals, the same desire, and even the same plan to get to that destination. But the one who sees the peak, has a sort of ignorance that allows them to look past the work in front of them and focus purely on the step they need to take right now, in order to summit the mountain.  I think that's a quality you have to have in order to tackle any serious task, you have to have a child like ignorance about you, the same way a five year old might exclaim that he wants to be an astronaut one day. That child has absolutely no idea what lies in front of him, the tens of thousands of hours of work, the risk, the luck. But none of those things impact his desire, and his belief in himself, and so, taking that first step, no matter how small and insignificant that first step may be in the grand scheme of the entire journey. Taking it becomes alot easier when your only focus is the end result. I hope you enjoy this weeks episode 

On this weeks episode, I talk all about my experience with imposter syndrome and self doubt.

It's a topic I'm sure all artist's can relate to, living in a constant limbo between creative fulfilment, and feelings of self doubt, sometimes separated by little more than a few hours! Hopefully this episode will give you a glimpse into how I cope with my feelings of self doubt through a strategy I like to label as "rather than silencing them, give your inner critic a voice" & personify this character within your own mind.

Because by doing so, I find that I can become familiar with these "characters" and begin to recognise their roles and reasons as to why they may surface from time to time. Because there is a reason, there is always a reason.

Persistence and consistency are by far the biggest indicators of success, especially as a creative! And I think the best way to do that is to build your foundation around something that you love. 

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode.

This week, I'm gonna be honest with you, I spoke about a whole bunch of different things. But generally, I think I can umbrella the entire conversation around the topic of perspective, and how you can use perspective to shape the way you see the world.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode!

This week I discussed the benefits of being proactive vs reactive in situations that leave you feeling out of control.

As of the day of releasing this podcast, here in Melbourne we have been put into stage 4 lockdowns, which means we essentially aren't allowed out of our houses at all. It's a situation that hasn't left me feeling particularly positive and so I wanted to jump on the podcast and discuss some of the things I do to overcome that anxiety and regain some of that control in my life.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode.

The best artists, are those amongst us that create like artist's but work like accountants. It's only by having systems set in place that put you in the best possible position to be creative, more often, and more consistently over time, that you will then find the success you're looking for with your creative business. Too many of us are running purely on the inspiration of distant goals, and rarely doing the work requires, myself included. Everyone who's ever been successful had goals, but so did everyone who failed! Setup your life in a way that consistently puts you in the best possibly position to work to your strengths, and be creative. 

This is far from always being sunshine and rainbows, there are day's each and every one of us experience, where we get up and just don't feel like doing it? What are you supposed to do on those days? It's a subject not many people on social media ever talk about, because from the outside looking in, it would seem that no one ever experiences that feeling... Well, news flash, they do. Everyone does.

I really did not feel like recording this podcast today, but I sat down and got it done anyway, and I want to talk about that process with you all.

Thankyou for listening!

You're only ever six months away!

If for you, it’s a business goal, you’re only six months away from a completely different career

If it’s fitness goals, you’re only six months away from a completely different body

Whatever it is, I always like to go in with the mindset of - I’m only six months away. 

Now sure, that’s certainly not always the case, often it can take much longer than six months but that’s not the point.

The point is; how bad would you feel if another six months were to pass you by, and you still haven’t started pursuing that goal? Thinking back to how different your life would be if you had’ve just started?!

Can you really afford to waste another six months?

The answer is no!

So start now!

This week I sat down and had a conversation with Kyle Meshna, a Photographer & Filmmaker from the Bay Area!

Kyle is an incredible talent & just an all round good dude. We touched on a wide range of topics so I hope you enjoy this weeks episode of Reel Life

One of the things I continue to recognise over and over again throughout my life, is the relationship between uncomfortable situations, and positive growth. I don't think you can have one without the other. Yet so many of us lean towards situations that make us feel comfortable and away from those that make us uncomfortable! 

Learning to not only tolerate uncomfortable situations, but actually welcome and enjoy those situations has been the single biggest source of growth in my own life. And I do this by using one simple line, whenever I encounter a situation that makes me uncomfortable, a conversation with a client, an awkward social or networking situation, confrontations with friends or family, or just a difficult workout. I repeat to myself the line "get comfortable with this discomfort." So that the next time I encounter a situation that makes me uncomfortable, it's familiar to me, rather than something that frightens me.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode.

This week I was asked via a Q&A on my instagram, "who was my favourite high school teacher? And why?" Which was a question that really resonated with me, because although throughout our years of education we may be taught by hundreds of different teachers, you'll find thats it's extremely rare for more than 2-3 of those individuals to have a considerable impact on your life. And I really believe that comes down to effort, and going above and beyond with every interaction you have. Your goal should always be to be apart of that 2-3 people for someone else! 

I hope you enjoy this weeks conversation.

On this weeks episode, I discuss my recent decision to go full time on YouTube, which although, is only really a job title shift, has made a massive difference to my mindset towards being a fulltime content creator! I also discuss the importance of happiness, and the benefits I've found in my own life, from spending some genuine alone time! 

I really enjoyed recording this weeks episode so I hope you enjoy it too.

This week I talk all about a recent setback I’ve been delt & how I’ve gone about handling that over the last few weeks.  It can be impossible to see past the horizon when you’re put into a situation that’s forces a pause on your progress, in whatever circumstance. And that’s something we’re all going through right now  around the world. So this weeks episode is a great listen for those of you feeling like you haven’t been able to regain that momentum you had before all this.

I also cover a little on the benefits and downsides of working for yourself, compared to working for someone else. Which was a great topic, so hang around till the end of the episode to listen to that! 

This week I want to talk about the ever present issue many of us content creators struggle with, and an issue people in general struggle with! And that's feeling self conscious, and caring way too much about what people think of you and your content.

Welcome back to episode 46 of the podcast 🎙

This week I discuss where I've been, the future of this podcast, and the future of my brand as a whole!

I also then delve into my recent struggle with self doubt and limiting beliefs and detail my strategies to overcome these issues.

It's finally happened, I've gone and created a podcast! I've always wanted a place where I can share an authentic and uncut version of myself, a place to talk openly and candidly about topics that interest me. We will be covering all things filmmaking and photography related, but I'll also be sharing my thoughts on pretty much everything else too!

In this first episode, I wanted to give my advice for creators, with the current situation we're facing here in Australia and all over the world. We're stuck at home and a-lot of us don't know what to do with all this time that we have. So I wanted to share my experience and my advice when it comes to taking full advantage of this opportunity we've all been given. It's a horrible time, but finding a positive in any situation should always be the goal, and hopefully this is one of those positives.

This week I spoke all about the comparison trap, and how people are often paralysed by the decision, rather than taking action and adjusting accordingly. Life ebbs and flows, and no decision you make right now is going to be more important than the experience you can gain by simply taking action.

I hope you enjoy this weeks episode 🎙

This week I spoke about where I've been, why I missed the last few episodes, as well as my experience with finding my creativity through the noise of daily life.

This week I talk about a strategy I use to create behaviour change in my own life.

It's an idea that spawned out of my swimming days when I was younger. Back then, I would only count every 4th lap or every 100m as a lap, and by doing so, turn a 160 lap 4km session into a 40 lap session. Now yes, this doesn't change the actual output required for the session, but it does make it far more manageable. Which allowed me to show up confident and ready, rather than anxious and overwhelmed, which lead to more sessions, and less self doubt.

Nowadays I use this same strategy in my business, creative and personal life, by creating small "sprints" for myself, tricking my brain into believing that a new behaviour is only a temporary change, just long enough for that behaviour to become a habit.
