What does it mean to really make it as a creator and FINALLY break up with the coined term "starving artist"?
AMPLIFY is meant to serve humans in all walks of life as a source of inspiration and motivation from the scope of artistic living about that “creative career pursuit”. The material is embracing and encouraging to the listener to go after exactly the type of career and life they really want, no matter how weird it may be!
We started out as an internet radio podcast that was for the students of Auraria Campus in Denver!
WELCOME!
In this crazy year, I invite you to take a zoom out view of your life and give yourself some perspective.
On this episode of AMPLIFY I share a true story about something I witnessed involving an innocent woman and a not so wonderful incident. I speak vulnerably about where my personal head was at in regard to being zoomed into my circumstances at the exact moment I witnessed this incident and what it did to totally take me out of my own life.
This is a different type of episode with a lot more honesty from me thanI’m used to, but I hope you can find some relatability and be inspired to recognize the opportunities we have right here right now that most people do not and that some people never will have in this life time.
Thanks for tuning in…

Power of Community - Interview with Jenny Gram - Dancer, Choreographer Creator of Movenet!

from the ground up.
Jenny is just in the conceptual phase of this vision, however her willingness to ask for people to “come along” is exactly what community is all about!

Comparison and competition into Collaboration and Inspiration
Hey Humans!
So this episode we are going to touch on a subject that really paralyzes a lot of us in our journeys as artists and just as people too.
COMPARING ourselves.
I believe that if we really want to be seen as a collective INDUSTRY – The Creatives – Transforming the comparison trap and shifting it into something else that enriches us as a whole is one of our very important and key jobs as artists in this world and for the revolution!
I talk about what I believe that change is in this episode :)
I say, Comparison can become inspiration
& Instead of competition what would happen we flipped it into Collaboration?
& one more thing…
Thanks always for your support!
Check out our new IG @Amplifyyourheart to see more of what I do and get in on conversations like this!

Practicing your goals
We are going back to the beginning of the year with this episode that was recorded in January.
It is indeed still extremely relevant as people are still struggling with the idea behind being allowed to mess up be IMPERFECT and NOT make your goals right away!
Here, I will first be telling you about the things to expect here on the podcast and what is to come as we roar in the Lions gate and the rest of 2020.
Along with all the house keeping stuff, I share my personal vibe and thought to hold onto around goals and how to achieve them and go purposefully against the norm and pressure of society and revolutionize your life.
I share my own approach that I call “practicing your goals”.
Thanks for tuning into the show. Hope you are so excited for all the things coming! Yay we are finally on Spotify!
