Episode 11
We all find ourselves feeling the pressure of everyday life, especially while pursuing our current goals and aspirations. The constant pressure of social obligation, outside responsibility, and the distraction of an increasingly connective world can be overwhelming at times. Keeping a good perspective and bringing light to your daily processes is essential for sustained success in whatever you're pursuing.
On this episode, we are joined by Cory Malm. Cory is a full-timer by day; high energy country musician at night. Cory brings an immediately noticeable positivity to the room. With his "have fun doing what you love" driven mindset, he continues to grow his passion and his brand into a new success each day.
Cory has taken an everyday hobby and molded it into a project that continues to surprise even him! It is during these times that we discover that a lot of the sweetness is in the journey and not just in the end product. Despite that love, doubt and self-criticism are ever present. These types of feelings can hinder you, or in some cases, derail you completely if they aren't handled properly. The guys deep dive on social media, drive, creativity, and some possibly made up terms?
