    020 - Pat Flynn - Lean Learning | Achieve More by Learning Less

    In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend Pat Flynn to explore the creative process… not from strategy, but from center. Pat and I talk about what it looks like to create without pressure to learn everything all at once, to unsubscribe from all the distractions without losing clarity, and to build something meaningful without needing to chase every bit of information calling for your attention. We explore how his newest book, Lean Learning, emerged not just as a productivity tool, but as a reflection of his own journey toward presence, freedom, and focused execution. This conversation isn’t about hacks or hustle. It’s about alignment. Trust. And the art of listening to your own inner knowing. If you’ve ever felt stuck between your ideas and your execution… If you’ve struggled with overthinking, perfectionism, or trying to learn too much… This episode may open a new door for you. Pat’s honesty, clarity, and humility shine here. And I believe you’ll walk away with not just insight, but peace. You can get Pat’s book, Lean Learning, at leanlearningbook.com

    019 - Aleasha Bahr - Sales Without Selling Out

    In this episode of What Are You Creating?, I sat down with Aleasha Bahr: sales strategist, black sheep, and author of Black Sheep Sales: How to Win More Sales Without Acting Like a Douchebag. This wasn’t a discussion about tactics. This was a conversation about identity. We explored what it means to sell without manipulation, to serve without auditioning, and to build a business that doesn’t require you to scale beyond your soul. Aleasha and I are both people who have tried “doing it the way they say you’re supposed to”… and felt our energy drain as a result. In this dialogue, we came home to the truth that you can sell powerfully when you’re rooted in presence, clarity, and you. We talked about: The myth of “better than I deserve” and the reclamation of worthiness Why following your own resonance leads to better clients, deeper impact, and a sustainable business How pitch weaving works (and why it’s the most respectful, magnetic way to enroll clients) The difference between “being uncomfortable” and being out of alignment What unshakable self-trust looks like in life and sales This one is for the black sheep. The misfits. The coaches, consultants, creators, and founders who want to serve, not sell. If you’ve ever said to yourself, “I love what I do, I just wish I didn’t have to sell it,” this is your episode. Aleasha’s voice is a mirror of permission. Her work is a reclamation of what’s possible. And I’m so glad we recorded this.

    018 - Corey Koehler - Redefining Retirement

    In this episode, I sit down with Corey Koehler—a musician, marketer, and entrepreneur who has mastered the art of reinvention. Corey's journey is a testament to adaptability and perseverance. Once a mechanical draftsman, he realized that the traditional 9-to-5 wasn’t the path for him. Instead, he picked up his guitar in his 30s, launched a music career, and later pivoted into digital marketing to create a sustainable business that supports his creative passions. Now, with over 11 years of experience in email marketing, digital strategy, and Google Ads, Corey helps creators, coaches, and founders find the best marketing tools to grow their audiences and businesses. He also runs Redefining Retirement, a platform designed to help Gen Xers and entrepreneurs build work-life paths that lead to purpose and creativity rather than just "retirement."

    017 - Ian Anderson Gray - Navigating the Human-AI Collaboration in Content Creation

    In this episode, I had a wonderfully deep and thought-provoking conversation with Ian Anderson Gray about the role of AI in content creation. We explored how creators can harness the power of technology while maintaining their authenticity and unique human touch. It was fascinating to hear Ian's perspective on using tools like ChatGPT to enhance creativity and problem-solving, while also acknowledging the limitations of AI systems. We both agreed that we must never lose sight of the irreplaceable value that human creators bring to the table. Ian demonstrated a genuine passion for making complex topics accessible and helping other creatives overcome obstacles. His work—bridging creativity, communication, and AI workflows—is truly inspiring. I was particularly moved by his holistic approach to combining technology with authentic human connection. Key Insights: Ian's approach of using AI as a tool to enhance his creativity, rather than replace it The need to balance functional, AI-assisted content with deeply personal, human-created work The danger of becoming too reliant on AI-generated content and losing the authentic voice of the creator Are you a creator navigating the evolving landscape of content creation? Looking to harness AI's power meaningfully? Connect with Ian at IAG.me. His wealth of experience and unique perspective will be invaluable as you grow your creative practice.

    013 - Your #1 Cheerleader Must Be You!

    In this episode, I share an insightful response to a question presented in a recent session of my Next Level Coaching program. A participant asked for advice on how to handle it when others don't understand, and perhaps even question or doubt the unique vision you have for your business or entrepreneurial ventures. I open up about my own experience with my mastermind group questioning my decision to leave Podcast Answer Man behind and pursue my current coaching and mindset work. I emphasize the importance of being your own number one cheerleader, and how seeking encouragement within yourself through journaling, prayer, and meditation is crucial. I also discuss the role of a supportive spouse, if married, and the value of having a peer group that believes in you, even if they provide constructive feedback. Navigating the motivations behind others' doubts is key - some may fear your success or feel threatened by your ambition. Ultimately, I share that if you can't be talked out of your vision, even by your closest advisors, it's a testament to how vital that vision is for your future. Your number one cheerleader must be you. Takeaways and Action Items: Consider others' feedback carefully, evaluating it for new perspectives and potential pitfalls you might have overlooked. If, after reflection, you still believe your vision is worth the inherent risks, others' skepticism will likely strengthen your commitment to your desired outcome. You must be your own best cheerleader and source of encouragement. If married, foster a supportive partnership with your spouse. Surround yourself with a peer group that believes in you and your vision. Understand the motivations behind others' doubts and feedback. An unbelievable offer related to the Next Level Coaching Program If you're on an entrepreneurial journey and looking to take it to the next level, I want to hear from you. Email me at cliff@cliffravenscraft.com and share a short (3 paragraph or less) summary of where you're at.
