In this episode, we're going to talk about five ways to find inspiration in your business and life when you feel depleted. As a creative individual and entrepreneur who has typically a stream of inspiring ideas running through my head, it feels really confusing when I feel uninspired. I always find it useful to pinpoint why I'm feeling uninspired first before I actively seek out inspiration. And yes, you can reignite your inspiration! You do not have to go about your day depleted. Here are 5 ways you can do it. Action Plan: 1 - Start a creative project: engage in a creative activity like art, crafting, writing, or design to stimulate your brain and boost inspiration. 2 - Research a vacation: research travel destinations, hotels, restaurants, and activities that you would like to experience, even if you don't have immediate plans to take the trip. 3 - Consume inspiring content: seek out podcasts, books, music, or other media that typically fills you with inspiration. 4 - Journal: write about the things that inspire you and reflect on why they are inspiring to you. 5 - Get outside and get quiet: spend time in nature, whether by sitting outside or going for a walk, to allow inspiration to flow.

Summary In this episode, Jeff discusses two articles: one on streaks and streaking by Professor Danny Weathers, and another on teenagers' obsession with YouTube and social media. He explores the characteristics of streaks, including their unchanging performance and temporal parameters, the attribution of completion to personal resolve, the perception of uninterrupted activity, and the quantification of duration. Jeff also highlights the motivation and structure provided by streaks, their relevance to identity, and their potential to facilitate the completion of New Year's resolutions. He emphasizes the importance of guiding teenagers and ourselves in using social media intentionally and finding inspiration through user-generated content. Takeaways Streaks require unchanging performance and temporal parameters, personal resolve, perception of uninterrupted activity, and quantification of duration. Streaks provide motivation, structure, and gamification to activities, and are more effective when aligned with one's identity.

There's no wrong way to be inspired, but finding inspiration can oftentimes prove elusive. Hosts Tasha Huo and Josh Hallman discuss various techniques they use when they need a burst of creative inspiration, be it in nature, nostalgia, or an engaging museum plaque. TWIW: Josh and Tasha fear AI becoming a creative crutch, but admit that it can be a helpful tool when creating perfect imagery for look books (but shh! don't tell anybody!!).

The essence of this coaching call is what causes inspirational blocks and the unhealthy ways we try to motivate ourselves. Today's caller, Jo, is asking for guidance about how to tap into her inspiration. The pandemic impacted her nervous system and left her lacking the motivation to live into her purpose. [For show notes, go here: Christinehassler.com/episode416]. Often, what inspires us is the stuff that makes us mad. It doesn't mean we need to come out with anger at people. We need to move through the anger to find the fire and the passion that lies underneath. Then, we can step into the feminine power of discernment and discover our Warrior Woman. Which is a beautiful place to be. When we do this we allow ourselves to be pulled forward by a calling and a mission, versus looking for something external to motivate us. Women, in general, are not great with our anger. It leaks out in certain ways but we are not great at tapping into our rage and anger and letting it out in a healthy way. This blocks us from our passion. And if we keep suppressing our emotions, rage, and anger we will feel depressed. Plus, we tend to motivate ourselves by being hard on ourselves and looking at what we think is wrong and the changes we need to make. We believe if we make ourselves miserable enough then maybe we will be motivated to make a change. That is a strategy that doesn't work or only works for the short term. It allows our inner critic to run the show and we burn ourselves out. When we realize we are not doing anything wrong and that we are living our purpose because we are learning, growing, healing, and raising our consciousness, it releases the feeling of failure. If you resonate with this podcast and Christine's style of coaching, Elementum Coaching Institute is the coaching certification program for you.

Do you feel you had a setback during the pandemic and you haven't been able to come back from it? Do you want to feel like you're making an impact, that you matter, and what you're doing in the world matters? Are you someone who benefits from connection with other people? Are you an extrovert who isn't connecting with people enough? Jo's Question: Jo is asking about how to find inspiration and motivation for herself and her business in the here and now. Jo's Key Insights and Ahas: She gave up her teaching job to write a novel and build a coaching business. She moved in with her parents. The pandemic impacted her nervous system. She has difficulty spending a lot of time by herself. She wants to do something meaningful. She gets overwhelmed with business tasks. She is trying to motivate herself by being hard on herself. She wants to be inspired by life. She has finished her novel. She signed a lease on an office. She is an extrovert. She lived with depression for a long time. She longs for freedom, transparency, and truth. She sees her anger as a negative. She started her business after she found self-compassion. She is joining Elementum Coaching. How to Get Over It and On With It: When she feels trapped in the moment, consider what choices are available to her. Put herself out there to get connection and support. Tap into the fire beneath her anger and be motivated by her deep desire. Start using her voice again.

AS A CONTENT CREATOR, WHERE DO YOU FIND INSPIRATION? Creating great content begins with strong topics. And strong topics come from inspiration. Inspiration is available in many areas of life. In this episode, you will discover 7 ways to inspire you with great content ideas. PASSION Before you begin looking for ideas and inspiration, ensure you are passionate about your topic. If you are not a fanatic about your niche, you'll find it difficult to create any content. When you are passionate about your niche, content ideas tend to flow naturally. You can't create content simply because you think others will enjoy it. The idea well runs dry when you chase the passion of other. Don't worry about what others love. To be interesting, be interested. Talk about ideas that stir your passion. TWO ELEMENTS OF INSPIRATION Before you begin creating content ideas, you need to remember the two critical elements of great content. First, everything interesting is about people. When you create content, it cannot be information alone. How does the infomration affect your listeners? Make it about people. Next, tell stories. Let people get to know you and your guest through the stories that you tell. When I first started interviewing bands and musicians on the radio, I would ask the typical questions. It would be about the album release date, when they are on the road, and how long they worked on the new record. One day I was listening to our morning show interview a band. He got the band to tell some great stories that had me sitting in my car until the interview was over. That's when I realized it wasn't about the information. It was about the stories. Sure, it's important to talk about your guest's new book or course. But your listeners want to hear the stories. Engage with great stories. I have a resource that will help you get great stories from your guests. It is called "17 Most Powerful Podcast Interview Questions Ever". You can download it for free at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/interview. LIFE The first way to find content inspiration is to take notice of the things that happen in life that pique your interest. JOURNAL The next way to find content ideas and inspiration is to Journal at the end of the day. What did you learn or discover? What story can you tell from today? QUESTIONS One strategy I use to find content inspiration is searching through Facebook groups to see what questions are being asked. ARTICLES About 20 years ago, my radio coach taught me how to take any article and turn it into dozens of content ideas. Take an article from anywhere. I've selected one from the October 2022 issue of USA Hockey magazine called, "Pucks With A Purpose". Here is the opening paragraph. "As one of the two preeminent powers in women's hockey, she knew her responsibility as the general manager was more than simply winning games and Olympic medals. It was about establishing a culture that would help to continue to grow the game and create oppoprtunities for young girls around the country." Step two is to highlight any words and phrases that capture your attention and pique your interest. Here are the lines words that caught my eye. Preeminent powers. Her responsibility. More than simply winning. Establishing a culture. Grow the game. Create oppoprtunities. Opportunities for young girls. Next, apply those words to your niche. I am creating content to help podcasters create a more effective show. Here is how I turn each of these phrases into a content idea. Preeminent powers becomes "The most influential forces in podcasting." Her responsibility becomes "What is our responsibility as podcast hosts?" More than simply winning becomes "Success is more than downloads." Establishing a culture becomes "How to create culture with your podcast." Grow the game becomes "How to grow the podcasting game." Create oppoprtunities becomes "Creating opportunities for podcasters." Opportunities for young girls becomes "Getting more young women into podcasting." I now have 7 episode ideas from the first paragraph of an article. Even if only half are decent ideas, that still gives me three or four episodes or content posts. And, I still have the rest of the article to spark ideas. Remember, the article doesn't need to come from your niche. That's what makes this strategy so powerful. Have fun with this one. PROMPTS To find content inspiration, use a variety of prompts to inspire you. There are at least ten that I use frequently. How did you get into your field? How does your expertise help people? What do you love about it? How can people get started? Tell me about the first time you did it. Describe the best time. When was the craziest time? What are some of the things you didn't know when you started? If you were starting again, what is the first thing you'd do? Who inspired you the most? All of these prompts can spark inspiration and story. Remember, everything interesting is about people. BOOK TITLES Book titles are a great resource for inspiration. Looking at the popularity of a book on Amazon can tell you how hot the topic is. Find your niche on Amazon, look at the top sellers, and use those titles to brainstorm content ideas. SIX POWERFUL AREAS In radio, we always tried to include content in each of six areas. Those six areas are health, heart, money, time, safety, and local. What can people do in each of these areas to have more success in their life? You may think "local" doesn't pertain to your niche. However, anything can be local. Just because it is a global topic doesn't mean you can't make it local. Just answer the question, "What's in it for me?" If you are talking about artificial intelligence, how can that affect me locally? Does it affect how kids write papers for school? How does it affect jobs at your local newspaper? Is the information kiosk at the airport still relevant? THE WRONG SIZE I was in the store the other day looking for a torsion spring. Do you know what a torsion spring is? Neither did I. The spring on my hockey target broke. I remove the spring off the second target and took it to the store to find a replacement. When I showed the guy what I needed, he pulled it up on his computer and ordered it. 3 days later, the spring arrived. I went to the store to get it. It was the wrong size. We went through the process again. He measured the length, thickness and diameter. Then he entered the info in the computer and ordered a different spring. 3 days later, the spring arrived. I went to the store to get it. And, it was the wrong size again. The manager finally told me to go home, sit on the couch with my computer, and search the internet for a spring that matched the one I needed. If the artificial intelligence of Google will solve my problem, why do I need the guy behind the counter at the local store? That's how you make a global topic local. PICK ONE There are seven ways to find content inspiration. Select the one that you find most interesting and can do most consistently. Give it a try for three or four episodes to see how it works for you. If it doesn't work, try another. Ideas are everywhere. You simply need to be aware and notice the things that capture your attention. Everything interesting is about people. And to be interesting, be interested. Engage by telling stories.

BioMech Pioneer Marcus Lenhard Discusses Decorating the Human Form in Tattooing SUMMARY Aaron Della Vedova interviews tattoo artist Marcus Lenhard on his show, Chats and Tatts. Marcus is a tattoo artist from Germany who specializes in BioMech, a type of art that was popularized by HR Geiger and Aaron Kane. Aaron and Marcus discuss the importance of pushing oneself and never getting too comfortable. Aaron also talks about his recent trip to Switzerland where he visited Guer Castle where HR Giger's Restaurant, Bar Museum is located. It is a seed for the BioMech movement, which is a fusion of nature and animation in concept art and tattooing. The movement is inspired by how nature solves problems and is still alive in concept art and tattooing. Guy Atchison and Aaron Kane were two of the most prolific people in bringing BioMech to the tattoo industry. Guy Atchison's craftsmanship of machines has kept BioMech cool and how the impact of their work on the tattoo community has been massive, changing the way people do tattoos from pictures to decorating the body with shapes that move with the human form. How The Chat Went Down: 0:00:00 Tattoo Artist Marcus Lenhard on BioMech Art and Tattooing 0:02:32 Conversation on HR Giger's Influence on BioMech Art 0:04:18 Exploring the Impact of BioMech on Tattooing 0:09:56 The Impact of Japanese Water Waves on BioMech Tattooing 0:13:39 Exploring the Art of BioMech Tattooing 0:18:00 Exploring the Evolution of Tattoo Artistry 0:21:28 Exploring the Differences in Tattoo Preferences Between Men and Women 0:27:21 Blackwork Tattoos and the Popularity Among Women 0:29:42 Exploring the Personalization of Tattoo Art 0:31:36 The Process of Creating a Custom Tattoo 0:35:11 "Tips for Long Tattoo Sessions: Strategies for Comfort and Focus" 0:36:53 The Benefits of Taking a Mechanical Approach to Tattooing 0:40:46 Freehand Tattooing 0:44:03 Working Practices and Recent Move to Canada 0:47:00 Honesty in Tattooing: Advice from a 30-Year Veteran 0:53:04 Creative Inspiration Through Reference Prioritization 0:54:53 Nature for Inspiration in Tattoo Artistry 0:56:38 Authentic Artistic Expression Through Nature and AI 1:01:44 The Potential of Artificial Intelligence to Create Novel Experiences 1:06:42 Possibilities of AI-Generated Art 1:09:40 Copyright Infringement and the Impact of the Market on Artistic Expression 1:11:02 The Impact of Technology on Creativity 1:14:06 Technology and Personal Agency 1:17:28 Reflections on Moving to Different Countries and Developing as an Artist 1:18:35 Taking a Break to Find Inspiration and Avoid Burnout 1:20:31 Exploring Psychedelic Experiences 1:28:16 Reflections on Tattooing and Surrendering to Life's Changes 1:31:13 Tattooing with Luxaltera: An Intimate Experience 1:37:37 Artwork and Healing Process Quotes: I can just remember running around catching lightning bugs and that sound, picking them off trees. They would emerge from these little bioskeletons, and then the real insect would emerge. And I remember picking up those little things and talk about HR geiger. It looks like where geiger might have got the inspiration. I like to get tattoos that remind me of my childhood. And I had a really good childhood growing up in Iowa. Just pure nature. But in Iowa, every so many years, these huge swarms of cicadas would infiltrate our entire neighborhood and make this incredible sound, just, wow. Your authentic way you approach tattooing, I really appreciate that. Your process, how you interact with your clients, how you like to very carefully gauge where you gather your reference material to keep you more authentic and not just echoing the voices of other artists. I feel like you have to develop yourself as an artist, and you can become an amazing artist, but once you are an amazing artist, have you also done some personal development in the meantime? If you arrive at 40, 45 and you feel like, oh, I feel like I'm still 20 because I haven't really done anything but just, like, tattooing and art and tattooing and art and tattooing and art, then at some point you're like, maybe there's space for some other stuff here that makes me grow as a person. I still draw, I still paint, but not nearly at this pace I used to, only because I'm striking a balance, like, gosh, can I do something else today besides art? Can I go ride? I like the mountain bike, too, and anything. Just go for a walk.

Douglas Brinkley is a world-renowned historian, author, and professor who may be best known to Mountain & Prairie listeners as the author of "The Wilderness Warrior: Theodore Roosevelt and the Crusade for America" and "Rightful Heritage: Franklin D. Roosevelt and the Land of America," which detailed the first two waves of the United States' conservation movement. His most recent book is "Silent Spring Revolution: John F. Kennedy, Rachel Carson, Lyndon Johnson, Richard Nixon, and the Great Environmental Awakening," which delves into the third wave of conservation and the rise of the modern environmental movement. I was lucky enough to read an advanced copy of Silent Spring Revolution, and I highly recommend it. - Doug was raised in Ohio and from an early age, his parents instilled in him and deep love and respect for wild places, national parks, and the rich history of conservation in the United States. After earning his M.A. and Ph.D. from Georgetown University, Doug began his career as a professor and historian, and he went on to teach at numerous prestigious institutions, including the US Naval Academy, Princeton, Hofstra, Tulane, and, most recently, Rice University. The prolific nature of Doug's writing life is hard to comprehend– he's written extensively about everyone from TR to FDR, JFK to Rosa Parks, and about places ranging from the Alaskan Wilderness to the moon. He's the literary executor of Hunter S. Thompson's estate and has edited the diaries of Jack Kerouac for two separate books. He's also served on the boards of numerous conservation organizations and has won awards for his contributions to the conservation movement. And those accomplishments just scratch the surface of his career… - Doug has been a long-time literary hero of mine, and I credit "The Wilderness Warrior" with fueling my obsession with TR and inspiring me to move out of the real estate business and into land and water conservation work. So when I had the opportunity to join Doug at his home in Austin for a conversation about "Silent Spring Revolution," I didn't hesitate to jump on a plane to Texas. We had a wonderful, wide-ranging conversation about the book, exploring everything from the life and work of Rachel Carson to the TR-like qualities of Supreme Court Justice William O. Douglas to the environmental legacies of JFK, LBJ, and Nixon. We also talk about Doug's longstanding personal connection to conservation and how a deep love of teaching is at the core of all of his work. Doug also talks about the roles that art and music play in his life, what gives him hope for the future, and much more.
