JGRP 015: How to Follow Your Heart and Access Your Creative Energy with Adam Roa

Welcome back to The Jason Goldberg Is Ruining Podcasting Podcast! Today, Jason has Adam Roa on the podcast and the two talk about all things related to creativity, igniting your creator self, dealing with lack of creativity, and following your heart and intuition when creativity seems far away. Being a creative person is a characteristic we all are born with so releasing it throughout our life should not be a difficult process. “Everyone’s creative energy is completely unique and I don’t believe that there is anything more healing than your unique frequency and essence being allowed to express through you and out into the world.” – Adam Roa Adam explains that being creative is a consequence of facing resistance from a certain situation; it’s a way out. For that reason, the creative process is sometimes draining and can trigger self doubt (“Am I really capable of doing this?”). But once you push past the self doubt you won’t regret it. “Few people understand how much space creativity requires and creativity is the expansion of what your brain is able to put together.” – Adam Roa In addition, Jason and Adam talk about what aspects of life help bring creativity to the surface. Self expression, self love, vulnerability, and even getting out of our comfort zone are all helpful for creativity. Being comfortable with discomfort requires being comfortable with yourself, and that’s already halfway there. “The world is craving authenticity. We’re at a stage where authenticity has almost become dangerous because it’s got to a point where no one knows what to believe so people are grasping onto things and ideologies and dogmas that are causing harm to a lot of people on this planet.” – Adam Roa About Adam Roa Adam Roa is an artist, poet, coach, and host of The Deep Dive Podcast. With a background of personal training, Adam saw the importance of not only bringing health and wellness to the physical body, but also to the conscious mind. Through his company The Create Community and his organization Surrendered Artist, Adam helps people find their innate magic & creativity, making it serve both the professional and personal life.

JGRP 014: How to Love the Absolute C.R.A.P. Out of Yourself

Join your host Jason Goldberg in another episode of the Jason Goldberg Is Ruining Podcasting Podcast! Today, Jason talks about feeling self-love, having self-confidence, and how important it is to practice these actions every day. Self-love is about caring and taking responsibility for oneself, so it’s normal to think we should have these feelings for others. But, shouldn’t we have these exact same feelings about us? “It may not seem this way on the surface but self-love can actually be an act of defiance. What if I don’t comply? What if I don’t waste my super limited time and energy trying to fit in? In a world where we were thought to live in compliance from an early age, it can feel really edgy to put ourselves first but that’s a big component of self-love.” – Jason Goldberg Lack of self-love not only affects the way we treat our own selves, but it’s also intrinsically related to the way other people view us. The curiosity here is: the way other people view us also influences how we treat us, thus creating an endless cycle. It’s important to remember to not live life like we are trying to pass someone else’s test because approval only needs to be met if it comes from within. Do YOU approve YOU? “At the end of the day self-love is what’s left over in the absence of self criticism and the absence of self criticism is what comes in the presence of self compassion.” – Jason Goldberg Another point that’s worth talking about is the idea that we repeat the same behaviors when we don’t practice self-love. Comparing ourselves with others, constantly looking for approval, seeking permission to be yourself, and outsourcing your feelings are all behaviors that are stopping us from loving the C.R.A.P. out of us. That’s exactly what Jason shares today. Key Timestamps [0:51] – What does self-love mean and why it’s important to talk about; [4:45] – Jason started to rewrite his story by practicing self-love; [6:52] – How can you love the absolute C.R.A.P. out of yourself; [23:19] – When looking for self-love, remember who’s the real hero; Related Links A Thousand Names for Joy by Byron Katie and Stephen Mitchell [https://www.amazon.com.br/Thousand-Names-Joy-Living-Harmony/dp/0307339246] Connect with me!

JGRP 013: Cancelling “Cancel Culture” with Courtney Granberry and Matthew Russell

Welcome back to The Jason Goldberg Is Ruining Podcasting Podcast! In this episode, Jason talks with Courtney Granberry and Matthew Russell. They share some important opinions on a variety of topics that are relevant for the period we’re living and important for the changes we’re experiencing, both as individuals and as a community. “I think everybody should have a right to vote with their dollar, and vote with their attention, because the new economy is attention.” – Matthew Russell You will hear all about the “Cancel Culture” and how it has been impacting everyone that has some kind of visibility online. This social issue revolves around what the consequences of “canceling” someone publicly in terms of public shaming and psychological damages are, what really causes it, what the limits between a bad joke or an offensive insult are, who’s actually behind this whole online cancelation, and all the branches of topics that this discussion eventually leads to. “It’s always nice to be mad at something and then take a step back and actually think about it. I feel like sometimes you react so fast that you don’t have time to really think about it. So, I think it is just educating yourself, reading books, not taking things personally, and maybe having a conversation with someone who’s older than you.” – Courtney Granberry On a lighter note, they talk about their work – with music and modeling, what new projects they have been up to, how they see the future with new technologies popping up everywhere, and their experience with meditation and how it correlates with their lifestyle. At the end of the chat, Jason asks Courtney and Matthew what is the one thing that they are willing to (and wanting too) completely ruin in this lifetime. Listen in to catch their response! “If people, for the most part in their track record, seem to be pretty well intentioned people and they slip up and say something that is not appropriate and possibly offensive – and they are held accountable, somebody does call them out for saying it -, do they deserve to be canceled as a result of that?” – Jason Goldberg About Courtney Granberry and Matthew Russell Courtney Granberry is a Fashion Model who has been featured on brands like Savage X Fenty, Target and more. Matthew Russell is a DJ and member of Cheat Codes. Both of them are the hosts of “I’m Not Racist, My Friend’s Black” podcast.

JGRP 012: How to Stay Chill When Sh*t Hits the Fan

Welcome back to the Jason Goldberg Is Ruining Podcasting Podcast! In this episode, Jason shares some insights on how to handle anger and how to switch from reacting to anger to creating with anger. Anger shows itself in a lot of ways but curiously there’s also a lot of ways we can deal with it. First and foremost: see the situation from a more calm perspective and then ask yourself: “Am I willing to let go of this feeling?” If the answer is positive, your mind and body will instantly start to slow down. “Anger is not inherently bad and your feelings are never wrong. The challenge becomes when we think that the feeling of anger is also the most effective guide as to what we should do.” – Jason Goldberg Another thing that can help us administer anger is to look at the root cause of it, and make an effort to analyze it: is it going to be this important 5 days from now? Is it going to affect me next week, next month, next year? Negative thoughts only exist in the past or future. The present moment is completely ours. At the end of the day, thoughts are just thoughts, not truths. When sh*t hits the fan, what is THE best next step that’ll help the situation? “When we are being puppetered by anger, we diminish our own experience of life and we just aren’t ourselves.” – Jason Goldberg Key Timestamps [3:27] – Anger is not good or bad, it’s just a temporary feeling; [07:34] – How to transform anger into something?

JGRP 011: Breaking Free from Identity with Oren Harris

Welcome back to The ‘Jason Goldberg is Ruining Podcasting’ Podcast! This week Jason has a conversation with Oren Harris. Oren talks about the process of breaking free from your identity and becoming someone else. Your personality is defined by who you want to be; changing your personality, although not a very quick process, is totally doable. That shift allows other things to happen such as: going into unexpected career directions; diving into your unknown purpose; discovering the abilities you master; and discovering what you’re designed to do in this life. “On a level of mind our beliefs about ourselves, our belief about the world, the perspectives that we are holding can be flow enhancers or flow blockers.” – Oren Harris Oren also talks about how to use your flow to prepare for something important. When we have an event coming (or a new experience, a big decision, a dilemma to solve) it is less beneficial to try to see the outcome and control the process rather than just surrendering. According to Oren, in this moment you should put down the desired outcome and ask yourself: “Why am I doing this?” “Surrender is letting go of control. Not letting go of a goal, of a vision, of what’s essential, of what’s important, of what your intention is.” – Oren Harris To be in this state of flow is to completely let go, including trying to control the flow. When we live in autopilot: always trying to achieve; always doing too much; always attaching ourselves to methods, belief systems and routines, we start to feel limited. There isn’t just one way to do things. So, how do we change this thought process and start allowing the flow to exist? Oren explains that self awareness is the first step: to become familiar with what needs to change is to begin this change. “If you expand your consciousness, expand your mindset, and you become someone new - even if you take a small action in that - the measure of its impact is not the action or just the result of that one action… that action represents an entirely new level of being.” – Oren Harris About Oren Harris Oren Harris is a life and transformation coach, teacher and speaker. Having worked alongside entrepreneurs, high performing leaders, and creatives of all kinds, Oren bases his life and work in awakening the full potential of people. He does so, either by helping with performance or by igniting their flow. Key Timestamps [4:04] – Oren talks about the beginning of his career as a life coach; [19:31] – Oren explains the concepts of preparation and presence; [32:03] – How to shift from analytical perspective to spiritual perspective; [35:38] – Definition of flow (Flow enhancer VS. flow blocker); [54:32] – How Oren handles resistance and creative blocks; [01:09:20] – How Oren faced surrender on a personal situation; [01:11:50] – Planning and trying to control the flow is quite the opposite of letting the flow exist; [01:26:17] – It’s Game Time! #YouAlphabetYoAss; [01:32:37] – How Oren sees Creativity and Inspiration burnout; [01:52:45] – It’s Game Time! # TheMatrixRecasted [01:59:32] – What Oren wants to ruin from now on; Related Links The Circle by Oren Harris [https://www.orenharris.com/thecircle] Connect with us!
