Description
Stay In Your Own Lane & Create Your Own WaveIt’s so easy to get wrapped up in what other people are doing or to give into the temptation to jump on the latest trend.One of the hardest things to do as a creative is to go with your gut and pursue work that’s true to you.I like to call this staying in your own lane instead of swerving into someone else’s and riding their wave.I feel this is self-mastery at it’s finest, and it’s not something you can attain overnight. It takes years and tons of hard-learned lessons to get to the point where you’re self-aware of the artistic voice blooming inside of you and pouring that onto your canvas.I’m five and a half years deep, and I’m just now feeling like I’m finding my artistic voice. I'm using this voice to construct the lane I want to navigate for the next 20 years.This show exists to challenge and empower you to find your own groove over time.Today’s episode, I’m bringing back my mentor and one of the people I look up to the most in this creative sport.The King of Crunk FridayI’m talking about Mr. Crunk Friday himself, Jason Craig, aka @jasonthe29th on IG.What I admire so much about this dude is that he stays in his lane and owns it. Matter of fact, he embraces and thrives within it, and it’s inspiring how he truly navigates his own creative realm.He’s a Southern gentleman with a Midwestern work ethic crushing the full-time art and design game in Augusta, GA.When he’s not winning awards, speaking on big stages, or being involved in the creative community, he’s helping guide people like I am through these rocky terrains to get to the green pastures on the other side through witty analogies and Level 62 wizard-like advice.Take notes, strap in and get familiar with this fine fellow as Jason and I peel back the layers on:Not carrying last week’s stress into this week’s successFinding what works for you and pursuing what feels like playDoing more of what you like and feels goodEstablishing rhythms, routines, and patternsMaking your own plate at buffets, creative outlets, full-time freelance, and flash sheetsWe overcome a lot of technical difficulties to drop this fire on you, and I have no doubt there’s a nugget tucked away that you can apply to your creative grind.Please share this one with your friends and family if you found value in it.Are You Seeking Clarity & Community?

Stop Reacting & Get More Done With This Underrated Productivity Tip: ## My Nightly Ritual to Stop Reacting and Eat More Frogs Taking a shot in the dark and guessing you’re someone who likes to get shit done. I know for me, I get my jollies when I’m getting things crossed off my to-do list. First things first, I’m definitely not claiming to be a productivity guru—I’m just a dude who’s trying to be **more productive than busy**. I strictly want to share with you what’s been working for me as a creative … and of course what isn’t working. What wasn’t working for me was winging it each day. Whenever I go with the flow with no plan: - I feel like I’m reacting all day to things around me - I barely make any progress in a million direction - I make excuses for why I never have the time - I go to bed feeling like I got nothing done Eventually, I stumbled across one little change that I began implementing before I went to bed at night: **I started planning out the o by Side Hustler's Perspective with Coach Scotty Russell
