The Reflect-On Podcast

#22 - Trevor Stooke - The Soul of Creativity and Passion over Profit

Trevor Stooke began in a world where "Saying yes and doing the right thing was more important than saying no and doing your thing." And yet, his starvation of authenticity was the gift that led to his pursuance of radical creativity. This and more is what led to him to create Agenda Marketing, a company that celebrates what he calls the "soul of creativity." Trevor's journey exemplifies how entrenched various external influences in our modern lives have become. And though its perpetual challenge creates some of our greatest unconscious fears, leaning toward the discomforts of uncertainty, nothingness, silence, and not winning can become the catalysts to the truest version of life we never knew we sought. Whether it's addressing the pernicious boundaries that have risen in social interaction, seeking the passion to connect instead of compete, or truly respecting the forces of technology whilst celebrating the love for human potential, Trevor is on a mission to create life using the blank canvass he held long ago.

#21 - Mahlon Head - Compassionate Empathy, Tactful Vulnerability, and Respecting Your Grief Journey

Mahlon Head was forced into foreign mental territory when he suffered the tragic loss of his mother in 2021. Although he experienced seemingly insurmountable levels of hardship, he learned to look inward during his Grief Journey, which catalyzed lessons in loneliness, vulnerability, and our universal connectivity. This and more led to the co-founding Friends of Felix [https://friendsoffelix.com/], a brand that seeks to support challenging conversations and increase awareness of the unexpressed tragedies and traumas we face. Expect to learn more of Mahlon's difficulties, how to be tactfully vulnerable, why happiness is not the only thing worth striving for, and how compassionate empathy is perhaps the most under-appreciated practices of our time. This conversation truly embodies much of the spirit that describes this podcast, so thank you for engaging and attempting to move forward.
