- Arte
Welcome back to the Show! It has been a little bit and obviously a ton has happened since the last episode. Today i wanted to take a step back and answer some questions from you guys as well as a series of questions from my current read right now "Tribe of Mentors" by Tim Ferries. Through these questions i answer a ton about myself, my business, and how to go about the crazy world of being a creative in today's age! So sit on back, enjoy this random catch up conversation with me and then go out, tell someone you love them and have a wonderful day!
Editors note: the first 6 minutes of the show is a opening message addressing the current state of world both in regards to COVID-19 as well as the racial tensions occurring within the U.S.
You are more than welcome to push forward through that section of the episode but here is a reminder that myself and TheMindofSol media are devoutly anti-racist and this space here on the podcast is meant to serve as a welcoming home for connection, thoughtful discourse and the continue work to make a better future. Racism, prejudice and bigotry hasn't and never will be excepted here or in relation to anything myself or my company represents. We push forward together. Best wishes and love -Donovan A. Beck
11 questions from "Tribe of Mentors" by Tim Ferris
What is the book (or books) you’ve given most as a gift, and why? Or what are one to three books that have greatly influenced your life?
What purchase of $100 or less has most positively impacted your life in the last six months (or in recent memory)? My readers love specifics like brand and model, where you found it, etc.
How has a failure, or apparent failure, set you up for later success? Do you have a “favorite failure” of yours?
If you could have a gigantic billboard anywhere with anything on it—metaphorically speaking, getting a message out to millions or billions—what would it say and why? It could be a few words or a paragraph. (If helpful, it can be someone else’s quote: Are there any quotes you think of often or live your life by?)
What is one of the best or most worthwhile investments you’ve ever made? (Could be an investment of money, time, energy, etc.)
What is an unusual habit or an absurd thing that you love?
In the last five years, what new belief, behavior, or habit has most improved your life?
What advice would you give to a smart, driven college student about to enter the “real world”? What advice should they ignore?
What are bad recommendations you hear in your profession or area of expertise?
In the last five years, what have you become better at saying no to (distractions, invitations, etc.)? What new realizations and/or approaches helped? Any other tips?
When you feel overwhelmed or unfocused, or have lost your focus temporarily, what do you do? (If helpful: What questions do you ask yourself?)
