If you want to take off, build your runway.
Connor Beaton has taken a unique path. After graduating from college not really feeling passionate about his major in technical engineering, he became an opera singer. Normal, right? Connor’s path is unique, as is his message. His organization ManTalks aims to encourage men to develop and become self-aware, high-performing, vulnerable, and impactful.
These days Connor focuses on creating peak performance through personal growth in your creativity and business. He does ManTalks all around the world, helping men create better lives and deepening their relationships with themselves and in their relationships.
I think there is a lot to be learned from Connor for those in the creative realm who want to access their flow and vulnerability. In our fascinating conversation we talked about taking the leap, prioritizing, getting in the zone, and so much more.
Life brings us things that we often don’t know that we need.

I was born in a low middle class conservative religious family in the suburbs of Seattle. Art was and always has been my passion, and more than that a way of life. Starting as a graphic designer, I taught myself photography, built a commercial/editorial business shooting for the worlds biggest brands like Nike, Coca-Cola, Adidas and more. I've also had the opportunity to photograph the world's biggest celebrities like Justin Bieber, Usher, Jessica Alba and more. I've curated a lifestyle around creativity and have learned a lot along the way which I get to share here.
