To is a conversation of self-reflection around blame. Do I own 100% responsibility for where I am right now? Are we taking ownership of where we are and who we are interacting with?

I wanted to talk to you about stretching today. I was sitting at the beach a few days ago and I remembered what my word for the year was, and that was stretch, to stretch myself, to stretch my mind and all kinds of impulses and emotions came in. Not, only because I myself feel right now stretched so much - I ask for it this from a place of calm. Today I share how I reflect on this and more.

Stepping away and letting yourself create space to take messy actions is not only freeing, it also requires a lot of energy. I found myself over the past weeks taking a lot of actions, unsure of whether they would lead to anything or not.   And I not only gained so much clarity but I also learned the more I am willing to fail and miss step, the less I actually do and the more I find answers to questions I didn't know I had.   In today's episode, you will learn - why messy action leads to clarity - why do we resist imperfect actions - my personal journey of imperfect action leading to R.I.S.E. Media.

Today's conversation is exploring the possibilities of blockchain technology with Lisa Seery. Lisa is helping us to weed through the jungle of new terminology and to form an understanding of what blockchain, web3.0, NFT, and Token actually stand for. So why did I invite Lisa to the show - because I deeply believe that web3.0 technology holds the answer to the consistent shortage of money within the arts. It is a technology that will allow us to eradicate the starving artist mentality and the earlier we empower ourselves with knowledge around it the faster we can act upon creating change that will impact future generations of artists worldwide.   About Lisa: Lisa spent 15 years working in the investment industry and climbing the corporate ladder before leaving her VP role to pursue her calling as a financial mentor to women. The majority of her career revolved around global asset management, stocks, trading, investment portfolios, and the technology behind those things. The clients she had the honor of working with were the top investment banks and financial institutions in the world. She also volunteered as a mentor and financial educator for underprivileged women in Los Angeles. In her coaching practice, she combines her unique skills and experience as a health coach and investment professional to guide clients toward optimal financial wellness via education and accountability. Whether you're a new investor, experienced investor, or working to adapt new habits to transform your financial mindset, Lisa can provide you with the tools and guidance necessary for you to make informed decisions with greater peace of mind. Unlike a financial advisor, she doesn't represent a financial institution and doesn't retain a percent of your investments as her fee. You can feel confident knowing her guidance is without bias. Ready to take control of your money and feel really good about your finances? Resources for Lisa Facebook Twitter Instagram LinkedIn

Behavioral change is often gradual and slow and it takes a lot of awareness because if we're not aware of behavior we are not aware that we are actually creating a certain outcome. Behavior change is a big thing, but it rarely ever happens all of a sudden, it takes small steps to change a behavior that is not serving you.  We always have two choices. We can either be the victim of our circumstances or we are taking responsibility for our own actions.
