Send us a textClement of Alexandria was one of the many luminaries of the Catechectical School of Alexandria, one of the early church's most distinguished centers of learning and theology. His argument that all truth, whether found in the Bible or in Greek philosophy, issues from a single source, namely Christ, potentially marks him as one of the earliest exemplars of "Christian humanism." But Clement is not without some controversy, including in his attempt to appropriate the label "gnostic" for himself and bring it into harmony with Christianity. Richard M.

Short episode summary In this episode, Coaches Caroline and Valerie discuss the concept of needing a reason to run and share stories from runners they've encountered. They also emphasize focusing on improving your movement and form rather than just getting through a run.   Timestamps of big takeaways [00:23] Coaches Caroline and Valerie introduce the concept of needing a reason or event to run. Coach Valerie also shares a story about runners she encountered recently.   The Post-Race Blues  [02:21] Sometimes there's difficulty in transitioning from training for a race to just running for enjoyment, leading to signing up for the next event.   Enjoying Running for Its Own Sake  [03:51] Some runners do genuinely enjoy running without needing races or groups.   [04:40] - When injuries prevent training and racing, it can reveal a deeper love of running itself beyond the events and desire to get “more miles.”   [05:59] Most running groups focus more on grinding through runs rather than enjoying the experience.    Being Accountable For Your Running Accessories  [08:23] The warm up, cooldown, drills, and exercises are as important as the run itself for injury prevention and performance. The RunRX community provides accountability for doing these accessory parts of a run routine.    Having An Enjoyable Conversation About Your Runs  [10:34] Sharing how a run felt and what you focused on leads to a more enriching post-run conversation than just discussing mileage. The RunRX community creates this same camaraderie around the experience of running.   Overcoming Excuses For Not Running  [12:01] Many runners say they "aren't really runners" as an excuse to avoid running. Improving how you move will make you want to run more and overcome excuses.   Joining the RunRX Community  [13:34] Join the RunRX immersion to learn how to run pain-free! Our members love the benefits of accountability, plans, and community support. We think you will too! Rate, Review & Subscribe Reminder Don't forget to like and subscribe to our show.

Can feeling good really be the key to manifesting our desires and creating the life we've always wanted? Join me as I chat with Andrew Kap, best-selling author of "The Last Law of Attraction Book You'll Ever Need to Read" and his latest book, "Just Feel Good." We explore the simplicity of feeling good, the power of gratitude, and practical techniques to help you cultivate a positive mindset.   Andrew and I spoke about that book previously on the podcast, on episode #067. Since then, he realised that there is one type of reader he would never reach - and that is the reader who is resistant to the term “Law of Attraction”. So in his new book, titled “Just Feel Good”, he gives readers just as much value & action steps for improving their lives, without ever actually saying the term “law of attraction”!   Together, Andrew and I dive into the importance of overcoming our ego, shifting our focus from getting what we want to feeling grateful for what we already have. We discuss how being present and enjoying the moment can create space for unexpected ideas, opportunities, and solutions to arise. Andrew shares techniques like the "Unintentional Gratitude Blitz" and the "Feel Good Grin" that can be easily integrated into your daily life to feel good and open up to the flow of abundance.   Don't miss this insightful conversation, full of actionable advice and simple practices to help you improve your overall well-being and create a more fulfilling life. By embracing the power of simply feeling good and cultivating gratitude, you'll be inspired to take action and rediscover the joy in your everyday experiences. So, what are you waiting for? Tune in and learn how to "Just Feel Good. ⠀

Being creative doesn't mean you have to be a classically trained musician or a famous artist. Creativity is all about tackling a project in a unique way that works for you. This is especially true in podcasting. Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast,  I'm Ronsley Vaz. Each week, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest lineup, we explore why you should start a podcast, build an audience, and how to keep them hungry for more. If you're thinking about starting a podcast or simply looking for a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you. In this episode, I sat down with the one and only Srivinas Rao. Srinivas is the host of the popular podcast, The Unmistakable Creative, where he's interviewed hundreds of amazing guests. He's had legends like Tim Ferriss, Simon Sinek, and Seth Godin on his show, so he knows a thing or two about interviewing. He's also the author of the book An Audience of One: Reclaiming Creativity for Its Own Sake. Podcasting isn't his only media. He's even recently appeared on the smash hit BBC show Indian Matchmaking. I asked Srinivas about his definition of creativity, and he gave me quite the answer. He definitely looks at podcasting, and the world, a bit differently than others I've talked to. His unique perspective on building an audience and producing a show is invaluable for newbies and seasoned pros alike. We get into all sorts of helpful topics in this conversation, like finding your motivation in more than just monetary sources. He gives me some insight into his daily routine that hasn't changed in over ten years. And we chat about why loyalty always outvalues reach. You don't want to miss this one. Other great takeaways from this episode: The balancing act between marketing and creation Srinivas's daily routine The definition of creativity Why editing his podcast himself for the first five years was invaluable.

Srini Rao (@unmistakableceo) is the host and founder of the Unmistakable Creative podcast and author of An Audience of One: Reclaiming Creativity for Its Own Sake. What We Discuss with Srini Rao: How an ADHD diagnosis in his mid-twenties and the inability to hold down a real job forced Srini to develop his own tools and systems for harnessing creativity and boosting production. Why expressing your creativity on a regular basis -- even when it's done without the intention of reaching an audience or being commercially successful -- can be incredibly beneficial to every area of your life. Research shows that being creative can actually make you happier, help you recover from trauma, and increase your productivity. How you can cultivate your own creativity even if you're the type of person who thinks you don't have any to begin with. Why you don't have to be a creative genius or successful artist to take advantage of the creativity-happiness connection. And much more...

After hearing Srivinas Rao on Chase Jarvis' podcast - I decided that I needed to read his book, "An Audience of One: Reclaiming Creativity for Its Own Sake". Based on conversation we'd had, I knew it would resonate with my friend Peter Scattini as much as it would for me. I proposed that we read the book and then sit down on the podcast to discuss - what transpired was a three hour deep dive inspired by the ideas in Rao's book. This is that conversation.

We have spent the last several weeks exploring how to design memorable moments for our customers and communities, our audiences and even our families. But how do we design a life of wonder for ourselves? How do we juggle our own creative calling with the needs of our clients and communities? Is there a way to approach marketing as a craft, making it part of our path to mastery? How do we realize our best creative selves, pursuing mastery and meaning in every aspect of our lives? Today, Jeffrey explores the creative process with Srinivas Rao, the founder and host of The Unmistakable Creative Podcast and author of the recently released Audience of One: Reclaiming Creativity for Its Own Sake, and Marty Neumeier, Director of CEO Branding at Liquid Agency and author of several books, including the forthcoming business thriller SCRAMBLE: How Agile Strategy Can Build Epic Brands in Record Time. Srinivas and Marty explain how they make decisions about which projects to take on, discussing the tension between what they have been called to create and market demands. They address the significance of ongoing reflection and self-awareness in carving a path of personal and professional mastery and offer insight around putting your imprint or signature on any project you take on, learning best practices—and then challenging them. Srinivas and Marty also describe how they measure the value of their own work, seeking self-mastery rather than obsessing over marketing metrics. Jeffrey asks them how they work through doubt in the writing process, what surprised them in the creation of their latest works, and how they foster openness in creative collaboration. Listen in for advice on leveraging a support system to navigate crises and learn how to design a fulfilling life and business with an eye to creative mastery and meaning.

Perhaps you want to bring more magic into the world in the form of an animated film or video game. Inevitably, such a significant undertaking will face big challenges. What gives filmmakers and game designers the drive to persist over the years it takes to complete such substantial projects—when there is no guarantee or reward or recognition? Today, Jeffrey goes behind-the-scenes of wonder-making with filmmaker, animator, director and producer Mark Osborne, whose film The Little Prince received France’s prestigious César Award for Best Animated Film, and game designer, educator and Game Design Workshop author Tracy Fullerton, who serves as Director of the USC Games Program and Professor and Chair of the Interactive Media & Games Division of the USC School of Cinematic Arts. Mark and Tracy explore the collaborative nature of the work they do, explaining how their respective teams foster curiosity and generate unexpected ideas via play, affording special attention to craft and detail along the way. Mark describes his commitment to doing justice to The Little Prince, and Tracy offers insight around the personal connection her ‘book club’ developed with the award-winning Walden, a game. Tracy and Mark share their favorite elements of wonder in The Little Prince and Walden, discussing the painstaking effort involved in taking our breath away. Listen in to understand how their work brings Thoreau and Saint-Exupéry’s themes into the 21st century and learn how to keep your own team inspired and agile by way of an open, inclusive work culture.

Srini Rao (@unmistakableCEO) is host of the Unmistakable Creative podcast, and author of the new book, Audience of One: Reclaiming Creativity for Its Own Sake. In Audience of One, Srini gives you the tools and encouragement you need to stop focusing on external validation, and to reconnect with your creative spark. In a world where you can publish your creative work to more people than ever, it's easy to lose sight of why we create. If you're dead set on your work reaching a lot of people, ironically, you'll lose touch with that special something that makes your work resonate with others in the first place. In this conversation, we'll talk about: How do you follow up a success to reconnect with "Creativity for Its Own Sake?" We'll hear about how Srini's self-published book hit the Wall Street Journal bestseller list, and we'll hear about how he has struggled to reconnect with the true source of creative work that resonates with others. How do you ask a question that gets right to a great story. Srini asks great questions on his podcast, The Unmistakable Creative – in fact, I was on there recently, and he got stories out of me that I had never told before. So I loved digging into his questioning style. His thoughts on this could be as useful for a first date as they are for a podcast interview. What has Srini learned from hosting more than 700 podcast interviews? He'll break down the best tips and ways of thinking that he's gleaned from creators, bank robbers, drug dealers, performance psychologists, and more. Love Your Work is now fully listener-supported!

It’s a neat little paradox we live in as artists, isn’t it? Our job is to stay focused on creating solely from our vision, and yet, we can’t help it . . . sometimes we have to look up to see if anyone else is paying attention. Srini Rao, the host and founder of The Unmistakable Creative Podcast, has a lot of great wisdom on this topic as someone who has interviewed over 700 highly creative people and who just published his latest book, “Audience of One: Reclaiming Creativity for Its Own Sake.” Srini talks about finding validation in your work, surfing as a creative practice, dating as a self-proclaimed B-List Celebrity and answers the question, “Which should take precedence: morning sex or your writing habit?”Click here to learn more about the Performers & Creators Lab >>About Your Host, Holly ShawHolly Shaw, CHT is a performance coach, creativity researcher and stand up comedian.
