Today we are talking about commitment—the act of GOING ALL IN.  What does commitment look like to you? It's the decision to step out of your comfort zone and make a big choice that aligns with your values over a longer period of time.  It's deciding to be vulnerable and authentic with someone even though it might be scary. It's choosing to put in the extra work to achieve a goal, even when you're tired or don't feel like it. Commitment is about being present in the moment and fully engaged in whatever you're doing, whether it's a relationship, a job, or a hobby. Today's guest Jeremiah Ukponrefe is a committed comedian turned fantasy book author. He always loved making people laugh, but when he discovered his true passion was writing, he decided to pursue it full time.

I was able to catchup with the extremely busy and accomplished San Diego based artist & serial entrepreneur Lee Selman. To meet Lee is to know she is the epitome of a trail blazing rebel who moves to the beat of her own drum. Lee has constantly stepped out on faith and bet on herself. Building a lifestyle where she works on her own terms. In the interview we discuss selling art, business success and failures, and creating fearlessly.
