Episode 69: The Pocket Queen. Taylor Gordon, aka The Pocket Queen has become one of the most followed drummers on social media. And for good reason—her groove is deep, her performance is engaging, and she's built a strong brand that goes beyond just drumming. We sat down backstage at the Montreux Jazz Festival in Miami, where she was playing with Willow Smith, and got into all of it—how she came up with The Pocket Queen name, how she first went viral and continued her social media growth, how she landed the Willow Smith gig, and how she's running her career as both an artist and a business. We also talked about her journey from Berklee student to full-time pro, the challenges of balancing creativity and entrepreneurship, and what she's learned along the way. So here it is! I hope you enjoy my conversation with The Pocket Queen. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

I saw this posted on Twitter recently: "If you're always right, you're not learning. If you're never failing, you're not reaching. The objective is to be right. The objective is to succeed. But if you're always winning, you're undershooting your potential." –@JamesClear I found that to be a very interesting view, especially as I think about moving my career, life, business, or anything else forward. I think about this in terms of the goals I've set for myself each year for work, or each season of coaching. In the past, I've sometimes tried to pick those items that I think I can accomplish.

Short episode summary Is it good or bad to run in the heat? Find out in this episode!   Timestamps of big takeaways  The Truth About Running in Heat [0:47] You can get dehydrated when you run at the hottest time of the day. This can have negative effects on your health. If you're running in heat to challenge yourself, maybe it's time to rethink this decision. You should go easy on yourself. You don't have to punish yourself this way.   Challenging Yourself [1:43] Challenging yourself gives you the opportunity to push your mind and body beyond their limits. However, this shouldn't be the focus in running. Going beyond what you can do may lead to injuries and negative effects on your body due to incorrect muscle movement and patterns.   [2:57] We often tell ourselves that we should achieve a certain goal or else we'll lose our progress. However, this is not the case. Don't aim for a mile number - instead remember that your body needs hydration, rest, and the ability to build itself up to distance running over time.   Reflecting On Patterns [4:20] Take a step back and look into what's stopping you from running. Reflect on what you can do to make it better. If you're having a hard time in your run, figure out what's causing it, and try to give it a better solution or alternative. For example, if you're not moving correctly, you could be injuring yourself and if you're trying to run when it's too hot you could be setting yourself up for dehydration and other health issues.   Rate, Review & Subscribe Reminder Don't forget to like and subscribe to our show.

Many of us spend a lot of our time being lost in thought, meditation allows us to detach from this cycle and experience life much more nakedly. To observe our experience, moment to moment can be liberating. Through meditation we can increase activity in areas of the brain that are associated with the regulation of emotion and learning. If you want to know why meditation is important or want to be pointed in the direction of a good teacher, this episode is perfect for you.

In this episode our host talks about doing the David Goggins 4x4x48 challenge. Throughout the podcast topics such as the compounding effect of repetitive action and awareness of experience are discussed. This short episode might be exactly what you need during these challenging times. Enjoy!!

Many of our athletes felt like an opportunity was taken away when they shortened the swim at Ironman 70.3 Chattanooga. We completely understand the safety reasons surrounding the swim, and know these aren't easy decisions, so today we have an open discussion to see if there are other options; including introducing a Competitive Wave for racers that want the challenge. Is all of this creating bad habits?

Our Current Projects: Lee: is working on some fun little promos for his agent, and he is getting feedback and having different studios look at one of his books. Will: Just submitted the second round of sketches for Bonaparte Falls Apart. Jake: Super busy with Inktober and it now has several sponsors, which takes a lot of administrative work, looking over contracts, and providing content for them. Also, shipped Skyheart, went to New York and talked with editors about working on future projects, and built friendships and connections. Reminder Svslearn.com, is an online illustration school, and a sponsor of Inktober! There are inking classes, and right now we have a Free 7 Day Trial going one, If you are interested please click here. Be sure to check it out! Drawing Challenges Have you guys ever done an art challenge? Will created the Draw 50 Things Challenge, it’s a design challenge where you try and create an illustration that has at least 50 different recognizable objects in it. Lee once did a 14 week long art challenge, painting a digital landscape painting everyday, 7 days a week. Which is a TON of painting! Drawing challenge: you do something daily or you have a project you try to finish in a certain amount of time. Take something you want to get better at and do it every day, for 30, 50 days. Jake created Inktober, which is where you create an ink drawing ever single day during October. How to participate in Inktober. He also created the Draw 100 Somethings challenge, which is where you draw something and then draw 99 more different somethings, all within narrow constraints, i.e. 100 different dragons, 100 different pirate animals, the key is to not be too broad, the constraints will push your creative muscles! Why You Should Do an Art Challenge There are 3 main reasons: Improve your life, and become more creative. Improve your habits and develop your craft. Get attention and exposure. It is so important that you do it everyday, at first it’s really awkward and it takes time to get in the rhythm, but eventually it becomes second nature. When you first try something it’s harder and then when you do it again it gets easier. Repetitive attempts drill it into you. You will become a better and more creative artist by the end of the challenge if you really do it justice. While in college, Will got let into the illustration program on probation. He had to prove himself during the next semester to stay. He kept asking professors what he needed to work on and ultimately it was design. That’s why he made the Draw 50 Things Challenge, to help push people to sharpen their design and creativity skills. Lee created the art challenge of Slowvember. You create something every day for Inktober and it is really fast paced, maybe you have then during Slowvember you slow down and spend time every day working to create and polish one amazing piece. Lee is an advocate for slowing down and doing things right. So many people can get paintings to 70 or 80 percent of where they need to be but it’s that last 20 percent that really pushes the painting to the next level and its that last 20 percent that takes the longest. Slowvember gives you the opportunity to push something to 100 percent! Challenging Yourself in Different Ways Inktober: you should have a vision for it. Think of how you can do it, have a goal. Don’t do Inktober just do do it, but make it specific and have a goal. Be deliberate. Don’t just swing at 10,000 golf balls, but have a specific target or goal you are trying to create, then swing for that. That deliberateness will help you learn and improve so much faster! Maybe you want to do quick 30 minute sketches for Inktober with a goal to get faster at doing quick sketches, then that’s great! Just make sure you have a focused goal and you will get even more out of it. For the vast majority of people who participate in Inktober its hobbyists, people who love creating but aren’t doing it professionally for their career. They come from all walks of life, from middle school to adults that all like drawing and being creative. Proportionally there aren’t as many professionals. If you fall into that category then for you it doesn’t have to be good it just has to exist. You’re building a habit of drawing and you’re trying to build the creative mindset. It gets you thinking. After 7 days you start to run out of ideas, and you have to push yourself creatively. There is value in just doing it, even if it’s not amazing...yet! Are You Allowed to Do It Digitally? Do you think that the guy with the turkey feather guy got mad when the guy with the metal nib pen came and drew next to him? Will, Art is art, the tools don’t matter. It’s about what you make and how you make the viewer feel. The problem with digital is when you don’t understand the traditional medium and the look that you are going for. When you know how to do it traditionally, then you can recreate that feeling and look, digitally. Lee’s Challenge to Digital: Do half digital, and half traditional. That way you will get pushed and those two halves will begin to complement one another. Jake was blindsided last year by Inktober contention over digital vs. traditional. Jake lives in this world of traditional and digital and going back and forth between both. He sees digital as valuable and the best thing that has happened to art; and that tradition is valuable and the best thing that has happened to art, there wouldn’t be any digital without it. Inktober was created to focus on linework, don’t have to worry about color, but just keep it nice and simple. You can still do that challenge with a stylus, you can still make it simple and beautiful digitally. There are certain lines you can’t do digitally that are easier to do traditionally, learning to create those lines digitally is a skill in and of itself. There is value in doing the Inktober challenge digitally. It’s a different skill. However, there still are things to learn from stepping away from digital and doing traditional. Jake did a post encouraging digital artists to do traditional, that offended some people. People took it as him saying that they wouldn’t be getting the full experience. However, there is value to both digital and traditional, they both have their virtues. Jake didn’t mean to invalidate people. Jake took Inktober on as a personal challenge. Lately Jake has tried to ink digitally more with the iPad and Cintiq, and saw how there is something special to digital, both traditional and digital are so useful. Still should be simple with just line work and maybe a splash of color and don’t create full color paintings. If you normally work digitally, try it traditionally! Inktober, all about doing it daily and improving as an artist. Be Creative Will, don’t worry about what others say Inktober has to be. You can try to be different. There are not Inktober police. When people are saying you’re doing something wrong then you are on to something. After Picasso got others to start doing cubism, a cubism group quickly emerged and they kicked him out, however now he is the only one that is well recognized. You don’t want to be an “if only” artist. You don’t want to be an artist who can draw “if only” they have the right gear with them. You want to be able to draw with anything around and draw and paint with them. You don’t need all this stuff. Inktober for writers, there was a writer who writes a little story to go with each daily prompt, and there is a group of writers that have gotten together to share their Inktober stories. That’s great! Well if Inktober means that you can just do anything, then it doesn’t mean anything. There is a reason for it, but you can be creative and do what you need to do. Contests Zebra, Adobe, Pentel, Blick, and Kingart are all doing Inktober contests. There are contests. It could be that they are looking for traditional instead of digital or a dash of color. If you are going to enter contests, be careful that they don’t own your work. Pentel did a contest, they said that they own your artwork. They said that you could use it for anything they want to use it for. People were upset with it. Their lawyer looked at it and Inktober’s lawyer looked at it, and it has specific wording to be able to use that work to post it and share it on their channels, not to use to advertise on their products. They went in and adjusted some wording. Really be aware of what the contest rules are, just be aware. If the contest is worth it, then maybe do artwork specifically for the contest for exposure. Instagram, Facebook, Twitter has similar wording to these contests. There are some risks and things that you just have to deal with, that’s just apart of being an online artist. The Power of Inktober Jake never would have imagined that Inktober would have turned into what it is today. He started the challenge to have: Constraints, Accountability, he tries to be a person who does what he says he’s going to do. Wanted a way to get more exposure as an artist, and a reason for people to come to his art blog. Inktober is still all about getting better at art, and getting people to want to come look at your work. Inktober has changed a lot of people's lives, got them in the habit of drawing, and boosted their followers. Inktober is like New Years, it’s a time when people say, “I’m gonna do it, I’m gonna make it happen.” It’s a line in the sand. Happy drawing! Thank so much for listening!

Happiness researcher Gretchen Rubin is interested in all facets of human nature. She shares her insights into the 8 Splendid Truths of Happiness, including “feeling good, feeling bad, and feeling right in an atmosphere of growth.” Sometimes happiness doesn’t always make you feel happy, and sometimes we do things for our happiness that don’t actually make us feel good. Find out why in this episode. Happiness Challenged by Habits After conducting research and interviewing multitudes of people, Gretchen found that the subject of habits came up often as a common cause of frustration. She discovered that our habits and productivity challenges greatly contribute to our happiness or unhappiness. One of the solutions is to figure out when you were consistently productive and what was different then from now. People expect to be motivated by their desire to do something. For many people, accountability is really the key aspect. Sometimes we develop a habit of hiding our own story from ourselves, and we start to become unhappy. We need to pay attention to those things we want to hide. Part of the key to happiness is discovering what you are hiding from yourself. What are you not contemplating or reflecting on?   Challenging Yourself to Happiness We feel happier when we’re growing. When we’re learning something new, challenging ourselves, helping other people, somehow acting in a positive way in the world. Learning something new for ourselves is an important engine for happiness. When everything in your life is feeling very bad, if you can seek out an area where you have an atmosphere of growth, it gives you a surge in energy.   The Four Tendencies Gretchen has created a framework for dividing humanity into four categories called the four tendencies. To discover which category you fit into, go to http://gretchenrubin.com/happiness_project/2015/01/ta-da-the-launch-of-my-quiz-on-the-four-tendencies-learn-about-yourself/ (GretchenRubin.com), or you can visit https://www.surveygizmo.com/s3/1950137/Four-Tendencies-January-2015 (Happiercast.com/quiz) for the free quiz and report. We have to understand how we are different from each other, to relate to one another. “We all have to figure out what is right for us“, says Gretchen. “You can succeed if it’s set up in a way that is right for you.” If we have habits that work for us, we are more likely to be successful and productive. She has developed 21 habits strategies, because she believes when we change our habits, we change our lives.   Take Home Message: Take the http://gretchenrubin.com/happiness_project/2015/01/ta-da-the-launch-of-my-quiz-on-the-four-tendencies-learn-about-yourself/ (Four Tendencies Quiz here).
