Hey, everybody—it's Monday, September 29, and this is your Monday Motivation Podcast by FWACATA.What's up, heathens? You sweaty, creative masses of chaos? Yeah, that thing that happened—wild, right? I mean, I don't know what happened, because I pre-recorded this. But thanks to the internet's nonstop firehose of madness, I'm sure something insane just went down. So now it sounds like I know what's happening. See how that works? “Dude, did you SEE that shit?” Boom. Timeless.Anyway. Welcome back to the other Monday Motivation—the one where we drag your creative bird out of bed, slap it around a little, pour some coffee on it, and shove it back into the ring.Today's episode? Creative Reboots.Restarting stalled projects with fresh energy.Here's a confession: I have drawers—literal drawers—of half-finished comics, folders of “someday novels,” Google Docs of script fragments, and sketchbooks that look like serial killer ransom notes. Every time I open them, these projects look up at me like, “Bro, remember us? You abandoned us like a Tamagotchi in '98.”We all have them. Projects that start hot—burning like first love—and then three weeks later you're wondering: Why the hell did I think a 400-page Gundam-meets-Full-Metal-Jacket-meets-Mad-Max comic was a good idea? (Spoiler: it wasn't. But I still tried.)Creative projects are like relationships. They start steamy. You doodle hearts around their name. Then reality shows up like a chaperone at prom, and you're sitting in the corner with your unfinished script, not even getting to second base.So what do you do? How do you reboot?Look at your project like it's someone else's. Pretend you found it in a thrift store. What's cool about it? What sucks? Sometimes distance gives you fresh eyes. Go get a coffee. Go stare at a wall. Hell, go smoke a cigarette if that's still your thing. Come back. You'll see it differently.Maybe the project stalled not because it sucks—but because you made it too damn big. Instead of a 400-page epic, make it a 12-page comic. Instead of a novel, a short story. Instead of a film, a TikTok. Give yourself permission to shrink it. Small wins build momentum.If you're stuck, switch the medium. Writing on a laptop? Try pen and paper. Painting with acrylics? Try markers, charcoal, Photoshop—hell, carve it into a potato if you have to. Creativity thrives on novelty. Sometimes the project isn't stuck—you are.Ask yourself: Why did I start this? Was it the story? The character? The mood? Go back to the original spark. I make soundtracks for my projects—yeah, actual playlists. When I hear certain songs, I remember what I wanted the story to feel like, and suddenly, boom—the fire's back.A reboot doesn't mean you finish it tomorrow. It means breathing life back into it. One sketch. One page. One note. That's CPR for your project.Look—unfinished doesn't mean failed. It just means paused. You can hit “play” again anytime. And if it really is dead? That's okay too. Bury it, honor it, and move on. Not every sketch becomes a masterpiece. But every sketch leads somewhere.So this week: dust off one stalled project. Give it a reboot. Look at it with new eyes. Shrink it down. Switch your tools. Reconnect with your why. Do something. Anything. And maybe, just maybe, that creative corpse gets back up and dances.That's it for today's Monday Motivation. If you're digging this podcast, support me on Patreon at patreon.com/fwacata—get behind-the-scenes chaos, comics, art, and maybe the occasional zombie project resurrection.And hey—the Kickstarter for issue 3 of FWACATA is live. Go check it out. Support if you can, or at least spread the word. Even a repost works wonders. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/ThisisJuan/fwacata-3-comics-to-the-face?ref=9gnlxmAlright weirdos—reboot, restart, and as always… be good.1. Step Back.2. Scale It Down.3. Change the Tools.4. Reconnect with the “Why.”5. Celebrate Progress, Not Perfection.

In this episode, host Chris Duffin sits down with the legendary Clark Bartram—Marine veteran, National Fitness Hall of Fame inductee, and founder of the Maximized Man Elite program. Known as America's most trusted fitness professional, Clark has dedicated his life to inspiring men to reclaim their vitality, strength, and purpose—naturally and sustainably. Clark Bartram's journey in men's health and fitness is nothing short of remarkable. Once a U.S. Marine, Clark transformed his discipline and passion into a decades-spanning career—earning recognition as “America's most trusted fitness professional.” He's inspired millions through books, TV appearances, and elite coaching, notably with his Maximized Man Elite program, guiding men over 40 to reclaim vitality and strength naturally. At age 61, Clark faced a new test: a diagnosis of prostate cancer despite his peak condition. Rather than let it stop him, Clark became an advocate, founding the nonprofit “Check It Like a Man” to promote early screening and awareness.

How to Break Free from Founder-Led Operations: Ral West's Six Principles for Entrepreneurial FreedomIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge interviews Ral West, founder of Ral West: Livin' The Dream, a business coach and serial entrepreneur who helps six- and seven-figure founders step out of the day-to-day grind. Ral shares how she and her husband went from being tied to every task in their business to building systems that gave them true freedom. She breaks down her six principles for entrepreneurial freedom and explains how founders can delegate with confidence, build teams that thrive, and create businesses that support the life they actually want.Ral West's Six Core Principles for Scaling Without BurnoutRal West knows firsthand how easy it is for entrepreneurs to become the bottleneck in their business. Her six principles offer a practical, proven roadmap to shift from overwhelmed operator to empowered owner.The journey starts with building robust systems. Ral emphasizes that without clear, repeatable processes, founders stay stuck handling every detail. She recommends documenting even the smallest tasks and investing in tools like SOPs, automation platforms, and video training. Next, she encourages founders to measure and track data relentlessly—what gets measured gets managed. Setting up dashboards and reviewing KPIs regularly keeps the business on track and reveals areas for improvement.One of the biggest mindset shifts comes through leveraging your time through delegation. Ral explains that true growth comes when founders stop doing everything themselves and start empowering others. She outlines how to delegate with structure, train your team effectively, and release the fear of imperfection. From there, it's critical to intentionally shape your company culture, develop your team, and deliver exceptional customer service. When these principles are in place, the founder becomes the visionary—not the workhorse.About Ral WestRal West is a serial entrepreneur, business coach, and founder of Ral West: Livin' The Dream. With decades of experience building and exiting multiple businesses, she now helps high-earning entrepreneurs reclaim their time, build systems, and scale their companies sustainably.About Livin' The DreamRal West: Livin' The Dream is a coaching and mastermind brand that equips entrepreneurs with tools to scale their businesses without burnout.
