Why I Left Social Media for 2+ Months, Becoming a Better Creator & Spiritual Accountability | The Journal 008 1:13:35

4 years ago1:13:35

1:13:35

Watch this episode on YouTube! https://youtu.be/XQo6_RICA_o In this episode of The Journal, I share why I left social media for 2+ months, how the journey of content catchup is helping me become a better video creator, and using the "wobble" I felt from social justice warriors with limited perspective to further my awakening on a spiritual level. I talk about rethinking who my friends are based on how they approached 2020, taking complete accountability responsibility for all at the highest of levels, the realization that it's all happening "for me" — to help me awaken at a soul level, and the subtle ways ego can manifest in myself. I share the new 2 stage process I've used to effectively edit my weekly vlogs in higher quality, and how incredible it feels to be levelling up the quality of my vlogs, my master plan for growth on my podcast and vlogs. After listening to myself talk for months on end, I share an honest evaluation of my communication style, the simple hack I'm using to stop swearing so much, and my ideal camera set up (which may or may not include a full frame camera, plus a point and shoot). I also discuss lockdown, my challenge with people not looking at the data, my guilty pleasure on YouTube and my new enjoyment of rap (???).

Azel — The Italian Beatbox Champion on the Early Days of His Journey, Connecting Worlds, Finding Growth Within Challenge and Life as an Artist 1:31:12

4 years ago1:31:12

1:31:12

Azel/Giuseppe Cuna is a world class beatboxer and social media influencer. Azel is known for being the Italian beatbox champion, along with his iconic signature sounds of Liquid Bass and Vortex Whistle and for his passionate love of riddim, dubstep and similar genres of bass music. He's created multiple viral beatbox covers of songs for Svdden Death, and connected the worlds of dubstep and beatbox in 2020 by creating the first half beatbox, half dubstep song with Snails. In addition, he's also one of the most genuine, kind and passionate souls I've ever met and I'm fortunate to call him one of my best friends. Like the visual of experience of video? Check of the podcast version below: https://youtu.be/-d0oDSpo5eg In the Azel interview, we get into his secret passions, what it's like to be such a public facing person at a young age, and what Azel was like as a kid — and how his childhood qualities apply to his present self. We cover the journey of how he came a world class beatboxer — from how he discovered beatbox, to the most intense year of work he put in, to becoming the Italian beatbox champion at the ripe age of 17 years old. Throughout, we highlight the journey he's had with developing his signature sounds — the famous Azel liquid bass & vortex whistle — as well as struggles he had in the early days of beatboxing, and why he continued to persevere even though he wasn't good at the beginning. We discuss the moment he realized he needed to do beatbox, why he turned beatboxing into a serious thing, how he discovered dubstep through beatboxing, and where he got his name from. Digging deeper, his mindset is explored as we unwrap how he thinks about challenges, accepting failure to use it for growth, "randomness", the positives and negatives of his obsessive nature, and the powerful self belief he has for himself. We also talk about hitting 1 million views at 17 years old, connecting the EDM world with beatbox world, his journey with learning to view himself as an artist. And last but not least, we have multiple laugh attacks (including from Azel's loathing of Facebook) and nerd out on our favourite tracks from 2010 era of dubstep. Expect Azel/Giuseppe to return in the near future for multiple follow up episodes where we'll go deeper into the psychology of success, our perspectives on the world, our systematic approaches — and a lot more.

In this episode of The Journal, I'll be covering speaking my truth, setting myself free by posting what I feel is holding me back, how I'm planning on indirectly monetizing, bringing my audience so much value for free that they never have to buy a thing, how the varied parts of my funnel are all aligned, my first thoughts on wordpress and elementor, breaking perfection, 4 strategies for how to type faster, heavy metal poisoning, breaking perfection, quality in, quality out (repeat), why life isn't that short, my secret to finding doubles, placing myself in situations to experience "rejection", getting exposure to no's, embracing being misunderstood by the world, black lives matter, my struggles with using my own words for BLM, the 3 things that the world needs in order to transcend racism, where white privilege goes too far and a lot more. I know I rambled a fair amount in this, but I'm still learning this format. Hope it came out well. Much love all. [Episode 2 of the Journal, recorded on June 14th, 2020] P.S.

Evolution, Natural Flow, Accountability Partners & Why I Stopped "Reflections" | The Journal 1:10:02

Welcome to The Journal. This is the first episode of a new series where I talk about recent experiences and shed light on what you can learn from my journey. The Journal is a new series that will be replacing what was formerly known as Reflections - a series that lasted a wicked 81 episodes. But it's time was coming and I decided it was time to air a new series that is similar in many ways, and also very different. You'll notice there's no more dividers of the classic reflections based questions. I'll just be flowing through all the topics I have that I want to talk about on the agenda - while still sharing what's working, what's not, what I'm learning, and how I'm growing. It's a lot more natural and fun for you and I - just like a conversation should be. Because it's topic based, you'll find timestamps available to you to easily navigate the general topics you're looking for. As time goes on, this series will morph and change as I see fit - but you best believe it'll be spent by talking to you beautiful people in new ways but always with the core principles - staying vulnerable, sharing my truths and lessons, and making our time spent together useful. In this episode, we'll be discussing a whole host of topics including accountability, natural flow, reducing my fear of of SEO, creating a community of giving without expectation, natural evolution, my first week studying with Dr. Sue Morter, clearing debts, why you're not motivated and what you can do to fix it fast (hint: it's related to your goals or lack thereof), the trap of being attached to things going the way you "think" they should go, why the more I look at society the less I want to participate (and what the my alternative is), shooting my shot, what it was like to edit the Azel and Snails collab, why I'll be famous if I decide it's ideal for me, my first thoughts on Black Lives Matter, the first plan for my upcoming music spotify playlist, looking deeper, shooting for the moon, doing what I've been putting off, why I stopped Reflections and more. Please be patient with me as I figure out the new format - it takes me a few episodes to get the hang of it. If you found value in this, please like, comment and subscribe to support the channel and let the algorithm know to share it with other people too. Without further ado, here's the pilot in the new solo podcast series. :)…
