Her research into financial literacy led her to start a blog discussing why it should be a required course in all states and eventually to use social media platforms like TikTok and YouTube to spread her message. Through partnerships with brands, she began to help those struggling with finances during the pandemic. She eventually co-founded a company called Dfintiv to help young people maximize their deals and discounts. She also finished her four year bachelor's degree in two and a half years, which helped her credibility and land her first major media op on Good Morning America.   “Failure is a tuition to your success. If you're purposeful and your passion drives your mission, you're unstoppable.”   In this episode, you will learn the following:   1.

However, to call Heidi Luerra just an influencer is a discredit to her artistic nature. Her humble beginnings in the fashion world led to a vision of creating something so unique in the arts, it is not surprising that others are excited to replicate it. With RAWartists Ms. Luerra grew a million-dollar business showcasing the work of other artists. From a single show to cities all over the world, RAWartists has exhibited tens of thousands of artists over eleven years. But like many businesses built on a live audience, the COVID-19 pandemic wreaked havoc on their successful business model. This story is one of resilience, and what looks to be a fascinating next chapter in the life and times of RAWartist founder and CEO Heidi Luerra. ***Be sure to listen to the end of the podcast for an amazing gift from Heidi! images: ©RAWartists - used with permission rawartists website heidi luerra website music: Chuck Wright's Sheltering Sky FEATURING Whitney Tai MORE ART UNKNOWN PODCASTS.fusion-portfolio-wrapper#fusion-portfolio-4 .fusion-portfolio-content{ padding: 25px 25px 25px 25px; text-align: center; }.fusion-portfolio-4 .fusion-portfolio-wrapper .fusion-col-spacing{padding:20px;}Crave Magazine2022-02-14T08:10:16-07:00 Ep54 John Bacon Ep54 John BaconCrave Magazine2022-01-13T16:18:18-07:00 Ep53 Heidi Luerra Ep53 Heidi LuerraCrave Magazine2021-11-18T08:12:58-07:00 Ep52 Murat Germen Ep52 Murat GermenCrave Magazine2021-10-15T08:49:37-06:00 Ep51 Monalicious Ep51 MonaliciousCrave Magazine2021-10-08T13:41:28-06:00 Ep50 Jim Wills – part 2 Ep50 Jim Wills – part 2Crave Magazine2021-09-28T15:59:08-06:00 Ep49 Angel Espino Ep49 Angel EspinoCrave Magazine2021-09-28T12:32:43-06:00 Ep48 Jesse Doyle Ep48 Jesse DoyleCrave Magazine2021-08-11T05:02:21-06:00 Ep47 Mary Bue Ep47 Mary BueCrave Magazine2021-09-04T15:29:41-06:00 Ep46 Kelly Marie | Messy Ever After Ep46 Kelly Marie | Messy Ever AfterCrave Magazine2021-09-04T15:30:29-06:00 Ep45 Steven Dossou Ep45 Steven DossouCrave Magazine2021-05-26T09:14:03-06:00 Ep44 Elizabeth Lo Ep44 Elizabeth LoCrave Magazine2021-05-12T12:33:26-06:00 Ep43 Anna Murphy Ep43 Anna MurphyCrave Magazine2021-05-11T09:02:36-06:00 Ep42 Zialand Ep42 ZialandCrave Magazine2021-09-04T15:13:01-06:00 Ep41 Cole Scheifele Ep41 Cole ScheifeleCrave Magazine2021-05-04T17:38:51-06:00 Ep40 Jensen Sutta-Part 2 Ep40 Jensen Sutta-Part 2Crave Magazine2021-03-11T09:04:41-07:00

For the last 10 years RAW has brought the creative community together by organizing showcases in 70+ cities, helping 200,000 artists in fashion, music, and the visual arts gain exposure. As an artist herself, Heidi felt the personal struggle of getting her work out to the world. After trying to build momentum behind her fashion line in the early 2000's, Heidi decided to throw an event to showcase not only her work but of other artists in LA. Nearly 750 people showed up to Heidi's first event and the idea for RAW was born. We get to hear how Heidi thinks through her creative process and how she has built a team to support a global network of showcases thrown every week.

A big thanks to each and every one of our Patreon and Paypal supporters.  Today my guest is Pat LaFord Green. We interview people you don’t know, about a subject no one wants to talk about. We hope to encourage people in the process of deconstructing their faith and help curb the loneliness that accompanies it. We think the world is a better place when more people live by sight, not by faith. Please subscribe to our podcast, and leave a review wherever you listen to podcasts.

You can support us monetarily in two easy ways: you can pledge a monthly donation through Patreon. that’s www.patreon.com/eapodcast,  or leave a lump-sum donation through PayPal at our website, www.everyonesagnostic.com. We taped this conversation on July 21st, 2018. The intro and segue music is by Dave Weckl called "Just Groove Me."  Thanks for listening, and be a yes-sayer to what is. Pat decided before coming on this podcast, because he's been featured on a few, that he was gonna be real. He was gonna relax and not pre-imagine what it was going to be, or plan out what or how he was going to present. He was going to be Pat. Not "just" Pat, or "just" Cass, because that intones "only or merely." And there's nothing mere about Pat or me or you. On the other hand, "merely" means only as specified and nothing more. So in this sense, Pat did show up as merely Pat and nothing more. No showboating or posturing or masquerading. Just Pat. Which sounds like something Mr. Rogers would say, "just you." And we're enough, aren't we? We're all a mixture. We're all confused. We all succeed and fail and we vary on what those words even mean. We avoid placing judgment on the art that is us, don't we? Hopefully we do, because if a painter or sculpture or poet or songwriter or woodcarver sets out to express themselves in ways that they don't even know where it's going to go when they put paint brush to canvas, then the Big Bang certainly didn't know either where this was going, did it? So everything is a big "OOPS" isn't it? How many of us are accidents where our Dads were in such ecstacy in climaxing balls deep inside our mom's that we're really just a big "oops?" When we see the reality of this chaotic mess we find ourselves in we lose entitlement and expectation and privilege, don't we? We're not privileged to be here. A privilege is a benefit enjoyed only by a person beyond the advantages of most, and when it comes to our biology, our cellular makeup, the fact that we're all animals and accidents at best, is the truth. Any narrative that lifts us above another is mythology, and a pernicious one at that. Scared people kick and scratch to elevate themselves above others. It's only true in their imagination. They love the elusion, don't bother them with the facts, their "enjoying" their superiority, their lie, their bedtime story that calms their fears of being stuck in an elevator with 10 other strangers for 24 hours where body odor and urine and feces and rage and panic would manifest, maybe even death. They might have to be in the same room with a corpse, which is basically 150 pounds of mud that was formerly animated by electronic synapses firing impulses and orders to the eyes and mouth and now is gone to who knows...Where was I. Oh yeah, Art. Isn't it lovely? In art, especially in the medium of movies, we have the full gamut of "feel good" movies and horror. I've often wondered why some people find horror movies entertaining, because I personally find them ugly, repulsive, disturbing and vile. But I'm suspicious that my place of privilege far removed from the real horrors of life, raised white straight cis male upper middle class by parents who loved me and never fucked me. If my childhood had been a horror instead of the blissfully ignorant and naive pampered version of a super-loved, mono-ethnic, Christian rural upbringing, I might find some entertainment, even comfort, from horror films. It seems that the privileged don't want to be reminded of the horrors of reality, whereas those whose reality and childhood were already a horror, perhaps they find comfort and entertainment in the mockery and public display of the horrific. There's some fascinating scholarship out there studying the existential connections between the art-horror genre and humanities' attraction and avoidance of anxiety and repulsion. I learned a word when researching this subject: intersticial. It has to do with a small or narrow space or interval between things or parts. In the Hegelian dialectic, its the synthesis, but in the case of horror, it's disrupting and/or disturbing.  On the question of what makes a monster horrifying, Noël Carroll, in his seminal work "The Philosophy of Horror," argues that monsters are ‘interstitial’ or ‘impure’. They are not entirely alien to us, but rather fall between familiar categories: for example, vampires, zombies, and Frankenstein’s monster are somewhere between living and dead, werewolves and the the Fly are both human and beast. The Exorcist and The Omen, even Christ demonstrate something part human and part supernatural entity. These hybrids throw a wrench in modern western binary thinking. And some of us are ready for complexity, nuance and even outlandish, because perhaps we're bored with chocolate and vanilla. Maybe we're not afraid to be wrong or that life is beyond our understanding. We don't have to have it all figured out in order to have fun. In fact, quite the opposite. Well my guest today, Pat Green vomited the fruit from the knowledge of good and evil and decided that he didn't need such shallow knowledge, nor did he need to know or place judgment on things as either good or evil. He chose neither. Pat is a former minister of 16 years who left ministry and entered the secular life around the time his son came out transgender.After attending Christian Life College with an undergrad in Pastoral Studies he was a youth pastor in a smattering of Assemblies of God and non denominational churches. By the time he started pastoring his own church, LifeBridge Church in Lockport Il (near Chicago), he had jumped ship and went into liberal land. Between 2012 and 2013 his life entered an upheaval and he found himself divorced, driving a taxi, and loving his LGBTQIA+ son for all he was worth. Together, they rode the storm and Pat was left with no faith in a god, but a lot of love. Today, as a photographer, writer, and a storyteller, he is trying to navigate his way through this new existence in a free market capitalist world he does not fully grasp. His professional writing has been seen in various publications both online and in print for over the last 12 years. He was a regular contributor to 22nd Century Media, Aquarius News, and also in the Secular Spectrum on Patheos with his blog Tranparent Expedition.Pat also wrote a book in 2015 titled, “Night Moves: An Ex Preachers Journey to Hell in a Taxi“, which is available online on Amazon. His professional photography has been featured in various newspapers, websites, and other formats since 1985. Most recently, Pat is a proud member of The Artist Guild Of Lockport and the international group RAW Artists where he volunteers as an ambassador helping new artists showcase their work in shows. With Pat’s passion for his son, his new life is told as honestly and as openly as he can be. He misses Disney World, financial solvency and having a back yard to mow.

Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/ashleyelliott In this episode, Ashley discusses: -The appeal of Philadelphia and why she keeps going back -The allure of chasing the rabbit down the rabbit hole and seeing where your art ends up taking you. -Some of the synchronicities that she has experienced and how they make her feel. -How artists don’t choose what they draw, but the art chooses them… and for her it is people. -One of her first moments in sixth grade when a teacher inspired her to keep pursuing her talents as an artist -How she always tries to encourage people to do whatever they want to do because life is too short. -How you’re more insane to think that you can’t do something. -How things can get a bit more difficult when money gets involved with your art, but how to effectively handle that. -How her art is always evolving and teaching her about herself. -Even when she paints other people, it is like she is painting a piece of herself and what she is feeling. -How important it is to take time to do art for yourself, even when your art is a business. -One of her best moments, during her first RAW Artists show, and seeing people appreciating and admiring her work. -How achieving your dreams is often as easy as saying “Yes, I am going to do this” and then doing it. -Her opinion on RAW Artists and how it can be a great way for new artists to “come out.” Ashley's Final Push will inspire you to believe that you can do it with all of your heart and soul, and then just go for it. Quotes: “Coming from a really small town I wanted to take my art to a bigger city.” “Every artist has their own thing that they paint or draw or sculpt and it’s almost like they didn’t choose it – it chose them.” “When you start believing in your art, it will keep evolving and it will start getting people’s attention and it will start shining through.” “Whether you’re gonna let it out of you or not, you’re an artist.  If you let it out, it’s going to evolve.  It’s going to take you places.  It’s going to create magic in your life.” “I wanted to know, deep down inside, how my art made other people feel.” “The coolest thing ever is to watch other people look at your art and feel something completely different than what you felt when you made it.” “I think that a lot of artists do that – they take a lot of bad things and turn it into something great.” “You won’t even have to try.  It will keep taking you places as long as you just say ”Yes” and believe in it.” Connect with Ashley: Store / Facebook / Instagram

Hello everyone, this is Jennifer, the intern! I had a pleasure of sitting in on this chat with Ziggy Sawdus: woodographer. This is a term he made up for wood carvings he creates, which is somewhere between relief sculpture and photograph. He was eager to talk about his beginnings as a wood carver—a career path which all started out as a lie. Ziggy also didn't hesitate to inform us about his involvement in the Pittsburgh community and art scene, taking a part in projects such as RAW Pittsburgh, Project 15206, and many other exciting endeavors in the works. If you think it's all business though don't fret, we also get into some intense HBO programing chat as well. :) Ziggy Sawdust on the Internet Website: www.ziggysawdustart.com Follow @ZiggySawdustArt on Twitter Follow @ZiggySawdustArt on Instagram Like BradlyKellnerWoodography on Facebook Creative Communion's Website: www.creativecommunion.tv Like Creative Communion TV on Facebook Follow @ccommunion on Twitter Follow @creativecommunion on Instagram Check out RAW Artists: www.rawartists.org Like ARTYARD on Facebook Project 15206's Website: www.Projec15206.org
