In the forthcoming book by Daniel Warren Hill, DEV: 3 Keys For Success In Your Creative Career guides readers on the journey of identifying their purpose and developing plans & processes to help them achieve their individual success through the principles of discipline, enthusiasm, and vulnerability (or DEV). Regardless of your individual artistic endeavor, this book will provide you with a foundation to focus on what's really important to you: your happiness, health, and wellbeing; establishing and developing lasting relationships; and to have the opportunity to spend more time doing what you love with measurable growth & results. Whether you take your creative career part-time or full-time, DEV: 3 Keys For Success In Your Creative Career (available Fall 2021) provides a template for achieving your own work-life-play balance through Hill's personally relatable experiences as a parent, musician (YellowTieGuy), and entrepreneur (Alchemical Records) with a diverse range of artistic and business interests.".

Why Empathy?

Why Empathy?

In the first episode, we spoke about what Empathy is, and what this show is all about.

In today's episode let’s take a deep dive into Why.

Empathy holds the key – in understanding or feeling what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference. It may or may not always be possible.

If we wish to truly understand the world, we need to at least attempt, to understand the world through each other.

If the global state of the world at this time of Pandemic is any indication, ALL our lives are interwoven, and we are dependent on each other. No matter WHO we are, our survival is dependent on the grace of people around us, the love of community around us, levels of privilege we have in our society in terms of access to resources and opportunities.  Each of us – are experiencing the world in our OWN unique ways. At a time when the world is more polarized than ever, it is imperative to imagine a world beyond our own lived experiences.
