Today’s featured guest is Ambrose Wilson-Brown.

When I first met him, he was introduced to me as a personal trainer. But he’s actually a coach.

Yes, there’s a difference training and coaching. A trainer figures thing out for people and tells them what to do. A coach asks questions and guide people intuitive strategies.

Ambrose has been involved in some kind of training and coaching for most of his life. 

As a young kid, he played football and eventually coached younger kids. 

As an adult, he successfully built a personal fitness business over the course of 7 years. He eventually transitioned from personal training to being a mental performance coach through his business named MISPIBO Fitness along with starting a non-profit named Sky Schools Milwaukee.

As a mental performance coach, Ambrose helps people improve the mind, body, and spiritual health. He's the perfect person to learn from when it comes to working on your  mind to produce better habits and results.

In this interview, we talk about:

• The 10 Pillars Ambrose works with to coach his clients into the transformation they want
• Why goal setting isn’t a map for success
• the idea of "process over outcome" and how it leads to better results long-term

Can you believe it’s November already? The new year is right around the corner. 

Let me ask you this. What kind of year have you had? Have you experienced and accomplished everything you aimed for?

If you’re like most people, COVID probably had its way with you and never asked for permission. Quarantine life has left everyone examining their life. Anything you ignored problem wise probably got out of control.

If you were eating unhealthy food before, you probably overdid it during quarantine. If you were unhappily married, your issues only magnified. If you were bored with your career, you probably questioned what the heck you’ve been doing with your life.

The thing is, the pandemic magnified everything for everyone. 

The holidays are approaching fast. Vacations will be in order. Now is the perfect time to begin thinking about your goals for next year.

And you know what? I got you.

Today, I’m publishing a lesson from Legit Goal Setting. Legit Goal Setting is my latest audio course. It helps you gain clarity and direction by teaching you how to identify meaningful goals — no matter what stage of life you’re in.

The course has 6 lessons including an introductory lesson. Each lesson is about 15 minutes long and has worksheets to help you think on paper.

The lesson you’ll listen to today is the third lesson and it’s named “How To Identify the Gaps Between Your Beliefs and the Life You Live”.

What would it be like to earn a living from your creativity?

I’m not talking about getting paid here and there for small projects. I’m talking about making a full-time living from projects alone.

Today, we talk to Mauricio Ramirez, a visual artist who went from funding his own art projects to building a legit full-time business. 

He has plenty of experience and advice for his fellow artists. 

If you’re not an artist, that’s okay because the principles we talk about are transferable to any career you’re in.

Mauricio specializes in painting contemporary murals throughout the US. His art is epic and recognizable because of its style and focus.

He paints murals highlighting Mexican cultural figures. The icons he chooses to highlight connect with the neighborhood where the mural will live.

The technical art style in which he paints is called “low poly”. Low poly art consists of images broken into triangles and polygons. It resembles pixilation except instead of squares, he uses triangles.

His art is colorful, bright, and what I call “Instagrammable”.

Mauricio has made a name for himself. His murals are scattered throughout the US and he’s built a legit full-time business by leveraging his creativity.

In this episode, we talk about:

• Why every artist should have a conversation with an accountant
• How going through reps shouldn’t feel like work — at least not initially.
• Why he involves the community in his murals
• How saying no to projects can elevate your worth
