I lucked out into loving what I did enough that I was willing to deal with the scrappy moments.
Today I’m talking to Sarah Jones, an extremely talented actress. Sarah has been on Broadway in a one woman play with over 20 characters, for which she won a Tony award. She has also won an Obie Award and given three Ted Talks.
I love that Sarah creates her characters from a place of love and learning – they aren’t superficial, she really knows their story. In face, she knows these characters so well that once she assumes one of them, she can riff in that character. She’s so talented.
Today we’re covering the gamut of being a performing artist: how she got her start, what it was like in the beginning when she had to be scrappy, and what her creative process is like for both her performing and her writing. We also learn about the personal development side and some of her rituals and practices that she does on a daily basis.
My job is to be generous with my gifts, not to hold them back because I’m worried that they’re not good enough or something is wrong with me.

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.
