Alex Chmiel is an enthusiastic outdoorsman who built his identity around all the physical activities he did, but when a snowboarding knee injury and surgery recovery time slowed his life way down, he asked himself "what if this is the best thing that ever happened to me?" He decided to shift his focus to producing his own festival, The Festival of Yes, which he invited me to DJ and offer a Create Your LIfe Workshop at in August of 2023.

In our conversation we speak on peak experiences, flow states, meditation retreats, pulling gems out of the holes in your life, choosing gratitude vs. choosing suffering, giving to others, having faith, and much more!

Do you fear failure? Do you get caught in perfectionism? Has this ever kept you from trying or acheiving success? We have a lot of cultural baggage around what failure and success are. Let's redefine what success, and thereby failure, even is, so we can set ourselves up for success, not to mention being kinder to our own mental health! Continue the process to continue the progress. Keep climbing the mountain and enjoy every view along the way.

Before we go live a creative life, we need to know WHY we even want to do that. Let's dive in to the reasons we may want to show up and be creative: because inspiration is everywhere, everyone is creative and your creativity is the medicine that will heal you and heal the world!

Welcome to the first episode of Create Your Life with Luke Rain!

In this episode I want to show behind the scenes of the creative process. It's not always fully polished. It can be messy, it can be impromptu and improvisational. I believe that our creativity is the medicine that will heal us and therefore heal the world, but so many of us let our fears block us from giving that medicine to the world! I’m no stranger to the feelings of fear around whether my art is good enough to be released. So even though I had some of those thoughts come up around this episode, I want to show you my process as I realize that the podcast idea I had is turning into a podcast reality, that I can let it be exactly what it is to remind us all that perfection isn’t the goal behind creativity in the first place. Thank you for listening!
