Episode 50.

A conversation with AC Delgado on discipline, doubt, creativity, and action.

Abe and I are the same age, born in 1993, and came up through similar creative paths in different ways. He went through the CSI Digital Media program before me, while I was serving in the Marine Corps. Different timelines, similar minds. That shared foundation shaped this conversation.

We talk about creativity not as inspiration, but as responsibility. About God and doubt without certainty. About purpose not as something you find, but something you earn through work.

Abe shares how wrestling shaped his discipline as an artist, and how a near-fatal car crash became a wake-up call to stop letting his work sit unfinished. We discuss why so many artists struggle and why disciplined backgrounds often translate so well into creative fields.

The conversation expands into the modern world: AI, politics, global uncertainty, and the feeling that everything is accelerating. We return again and again to a simple idea:

Action is the answer. The sweat is the point.

In this episode, I sat down with a friend from my hometown Buhl, Idaho. She has evolved into an awesome woman who has invested time into both her family restaurant Antojos located in Twin Falls, ID while also developing a skillset in Brazilian Jui Jitsu. After seeing her at my private movie premiere for Cheer Dreams, I just had to invite her onto the podcast! In this podcast we start off talking martial arts but slowly merge into spiritual/religious territory (a blast of a topic!). Then we also get into morality and origin stories!

In this episode, I sit down with Brian Dobbs, my former Honors Program professor at the College of Southern Idaho. I've always admired Mr. Dobbs for his emotional intelligence and broad wisdom, and for a while now, I’ve been wanting to pick his brain on the podcast. Funny enough, the universe kept nudging us together. I’d be out on my jogs, and he’d be on his walks, and we’d end up in these thriving conversations.Here we dive into philosophy, art, purpose, and the generational forces shaping how we see the world. We also get into the deeper stuff, like fatherhood and our thoughts on purpose, with a few doses of science and some great book recs sprinkled in.I hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.
