Fixed Mindset Or Growth Mindset - Which Do YOU Have? Direct Your Life podcast

51:57

On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

Most creatives—at some point—hit that “oh crap, I have no money” phase. I’ve been there. Rent was due, money was tight, and the dream felt miles away. I didn’t want to take a temp job because it felt like giving up. But eventually, I took a valet parking gig… which led to a concierge role… and that unexpected detour gave me the creative space I needed to finish a feature film script. That script helped me gain momentum—and got me back into full-time creative work. In this episode, I share: • The exact mindset shift that helped me say yes to a job I didn’t want • Why short-term “bridge jobs” aren’t selling out—they’re strategic • How to keep your momentum when life tries to knock the dream out of you 🎬 Whether you’re an artist, entrepreneur, or just in transition—this one’s for you. 💥 Challenge included at the end to help you take grounded action without giving up on your big vision. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ 👉 Follow for more motivation: Try My Free Weekly Newsletter Join Our Mastermind Community: Monthly LIVE Coaching & Private Group YouTube: @TonySuriano Instagram: @TonySuriano Facebook: @TonySuriano ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ ⭐️ Don't forget to comment, leave a review/rate, and share this episode with someone who needs to hear it!
