Directional Compass
This is your new map of least resistance. It guides you on your path for self-discovery and believing in yourself. Begin at the center Start Button for an optimal experience, but do what you want.
Rather than a physical place, the map guides you to a relational POV.
How do you relate to your Big Idea and how does it relate to you?
Do you keep yourself hamstrung by not believing in yourself?
Does your relationship with money and others’ way of doing things keep you from realizing your own vision or version of success and fulfillment?
All of these topics will be covered in a step-by-step method and as an ad hoc path. Take what you want and leave the rest. At a minimum, you’re encouraged to begin with the Creative Life Concept for Business class to keep you on track and minimize cuts and bruises if you get lost in the thicket of self-doubt.
If you already have some self-discovery like branding, your version of brand may not be the same as the one presented, so it may be helpful to uncover a new way of thinking about it through the Branding Fun class, but know that it’s built on top of the Creative Life Concept for Business ideas. Think of it as a way to either confirm or change your original idea, thought starter, or business goal.
Remember to keep it real.
As with most creative endeavor, the map is a work in progress and classes will be rolled-out individually. Check back or sign up to be emailed directly when new content is released.

How we all relate to each other shares an idea with AI as algorithms begin to permeate the internet and other ways we interact with our environment. Far from being a perfect system, AI provides us with an interesting POV that allows us to see a brighter future.
While some may disagree with this idea, I think AI is exciting as long as it’s not training us. Check out the 2 AI write ups (also recorded) on the blog page. Both discuss AI through brand and word choice, but from a systems perspective and how our creative endeavor is either pushed along or stymied through its use.
A Changing World
Dynamical systems theories is how I uncovered my approach to ‘artificial intelligence.’ We find new ways of expressing ourselves through the technology of the universe, or a universal approach to communication, which AI is part of.
Let’s uncover all the ways we feel ourselves being squeezed or pinched versus expanded and open in our creativity through the process of becoming someone new every time we open up to new ideas. My ideas are on their way because, as with all things, it takes time to understand and one idea builds on top of another. Check back soon!
Find Magic All Year, Not Just Halloween
For a little bit of fun and a whole lot of magic, connect to my special on YouTube, focusing on the designer’s process and how AI can either connect or separate us from our own creative magic, just like other systems.
wondering why we’re all weirdos?
Being weird means we all dance on the ceiling, have fun while we trip the light fantastic, which is what this is all supposed to be about! Do we have to be so serious about business or can we have fun and enjoy ourselves through creating in our own right?
Maybe we can’t all dance, but we can all create and in our own way.
Yes, we can balance work and play, but what if work is play? It’s an oxymoron — they’re two opposites. But if you change your perspective and discover what you really want from your work experience, you might find the ability to make opposites attract.
It’s a Double Vector instead of a regular one because it’s about keeping in time and rhythm with your own behaviors in business; finding joy in creating on your own and with others. Communication happens when we stop to collect our thoughts and come up with a new way of doing things. We don’t have to rush, to beat the deadline or each other by competing.
As the 19th century businessman with the weird but elegant name, Wallace D. Wattles said,
“You are to be a creator, not a competitor. You are going to get what you want, but in such a way that when you get it, every other person whom you effect will have more than [they have] now.”
