MugenCast: Inspiration For The Everyday Creative

This is one for the OGs….If you’ve been around since the beginning you’ll know one of my first episodes was with two of my friends: John and Elly. That was almost 3 years ago now. And so much has changed... On this episode we catch up with Elly Tran: Singer, songwriter, model (just a very multifaceted artist). To fulfill her dreams, at 19, she went to Los Angeles to pursue a singing career. And while that does sound glamorous, the reality is much more harsh. But through that difficulty she...

You know this episode takes me back to the earlier days of MugenCast. Just a really relaxed, somewhat random conversation with a great guest... From cats fighting in the background to brussel sprouts almost burning to a ton of technical difficulties this was a really fun conversation. But as fun and playful as it it was, my guest this time around presents an interesting take on modeling as an art, and how growth as a person can coincide with a growth in a creative passion. The dilemma for...

Could you imagine moving to another state with the singular goal of chasing a creative passion? Well my guest today is someone who did! Mike Gray is an actor, photographer, and all around creative. And on this episode he sat down to discuss how he fell in love with his craft, the ups and downs of chasing a passion like acting, and how he discovered a new passion that has him completely enthralled.... Enjoy! CONNECT WITH...

So, 2020 is just about over...finally! And I wanted to sit down and wrap-up my year with you all. What I’ve gone through this year (good and bad), and what’s coming in 2021… Enjoy!

The journey to one’s passion is often a long and winding road... And the story of Leigh Ellis (The Starters/No Dunks podcast) is the epitome of that idea. Now in his 40’s Leigh has carved out a respectable career as a sports media personality and analyst. But the story he tells in this episode predominantly occurs years before that success... In this episode we dive into Leigh’s past: growing up in Australia, working odd jobs overseas, finding the love of his life in another country, and...

The wait is over, the hiatus is over, Episode 54 is here!

It has been a whileee! Too long in fact. And in this quick episode, I hope to update you all on what's been going on with me, and why no new episodes have come out!

Episode 53 is here! I’ve wanted to get this to you all for a while now and it took a littleeee long but trust me it’s worth the wait! My guest today is Gajan Balan. An INCREDIBLE creative mind, and someone who I can legitimately say I look up to.... I came across his work about 6 months ago and I’ve been a fan since. In this episode, I get to sit down and pick his brain about his creative and non-creative life. And how he’s forged a path for himself through hard work, self-discipline, and...

Episode 2! Of 'Casual Conversations'. And I know what you’re thinking..."but isn’t this an interview?". Well yes, and no. My guest today is Josh Wool: a California-based photographer that is so down to earth and easy to talk to...I can’t even call this an interview! We just talked, about life, photography, and current events in the world. Sit back, relax, and enjoy...this Casual Conversation.

A new series has appeared! Kinda... So this episode came about from me wanting to do a podcast with my homie, John Obassy. But it's not "classical' interview, so what do I do? Create a new type of podcast of course! Casual Conversation will be the podcasts I do with my homies, more informal and we'll just shoot the breeze. But anyway, in this episode we talk about everything....literally. We talked about: creativity, fitness, systemic racism, Covid-19, and a ton of other stuff. SO! Sit...

"Creativity is more than just making something beautiful...it requires a rigid morality to create something real"... I just made that quote up. But! That isn't a standard that everybody can uphold, however, my guest on this week's episode does it dutifully. And I wanted to sit down with him to learn about how he's kept this morality and genuine creative spirit alive throughout his career. This is definitely one for the "artsy-types". But even if you don't fall into this category I think...

On this episode of MugenCast I sit down with the CEO and Founder of BeachEatz: Bianca Picardo! She created and currently runs the company that brings the best food right to your beach chair. But this podcast goes into more than just the business side of Bianca’s life. We discuss the emotional side of running business and so many of the other things that are behind the scenes of all successful business people. I hope you all take something from the amazing stories Bianca tells me in this...

The 50th episode of MugenCast!!!! I'm so happy to have made it to this milestone. This podcast has been a place for me to discuss what's on my mind, connect with other like-minded individuals, and hopefully provide you all with some creatively stimulating audio! So with that in mind, we come to this episode. And this time we'll just be taking a walk down memory lane and discuss some of the things that made MugenCast what it is today. BUT! We'll also have our favorites: Dope Creator,...

On this episode we discuss validation. We all look for it in one way or another, but how does it effect our creativity? That's the question I'll answer today. But on today's episode we also have a dope creator (Jason Roman)! And make sure to listen to the end for a HUGE announcement... Enjoy the show! Make sure to give this one a FIVE STAR RATING!

The first episode of MugenCast that has video!!! Check out my YouTube if you want some visual with your audio. In this episode we're talking about struggles ANY creative can face, in this case, Will Harris. I came across Will's story on the Joe Rogan podcast (linked below). He told a great story about struggle and overcoming tough times while also chasing your creative passion. It was inspiring...So much so that I made this podcast about it! Enjoy! Links: Youtube:...

Welcome to another episode of MugenCast! And this week, just like last week, we're doing something a little different. We're doing the Creative Discussion segment with a twist! This time it's more of a life improvement, and I'll be breaking down a great life principle I recently learned that will (hopefully) help you all become more prolific creatives. We'll be discussing Flow State & Consistency Over Intensity. There's a ton of reading and information you can find on these principles. Give...

Quarantine podcast number 2! I did something different this episode, a little behind the scenes on what I've been up to. With all the social distancing and staying indoors I've been doing I had to find ways to improve myself and keep SANE! (I hope you guys have been doing something similar) So no real structure to this one, I'll just be rambling on for a little bit. I hope the advice and insight I give in this episode can be useful to some of you :) Links: Youtube:...

COMING LIVE FROM THE QUARANTINE! Super late episode this week but it's here. On this episode we have all the favorites: Dope Creator, Creative discussion, Food For Thought, etc. I discuss how emotions can manipulate the creations you make. Considering the situation we're in right now I think this episode may be helpful. Keep your spirits high! Enjoy the show!
