What are some names of the books or other media you have created?
Shine Brighter: Choosing a Life of Greater Clarity, Purpose, and Joy (book)
“My Mary”: A Story of Redemption (s0ng)
What inspired you to become a creator of media?
Media is one of the most powerful ways to share an important message, and I believe I have some important messages to share.
What has been the highlight of your career so far?
Distilling a lifetime of study and unique experiences, challenges, and ponderings into a life-coaching model, a story, and a song that can change lives for the better.
What was the best advice you’ve ever been given in your creative journey?
There’s an audience who needs what you have to offer. You just need to keep searching until you find each other.
What advice do you have for someone just starting out in your field?
Learn all you can about your subject or craft and then change it, improve it, and make it your own.
What keeps you inspired in your daily creative work?
As a therapist, I love seeing my ideas and their application, improve people’s lives.
What would you like others to know about you or your creative process?
My creative process tends to be slow and tedious at times, and spontaneous and revelatory at other times. Mostly slow and tedious. But eventually, I seem to come up with something worthwhile.
In what ways do you feel you have been able to be a voice for good in your creative pursuits?
I try to avoid the trivial and focus on the transcendent. If I’m going to create something, I want it to have meaning, purpose, and impact. I want it to have value long after I am gone and be something that future generations—mine and others—may benefit from.
