Show Notes

I had David Michaels on today. He is one of the more unique guests I've had quite frankly, an artist with a background probably like no other. David Michaels has produced and directed some of the largest sporting events for television. Think the Olympics, the Tour de France - he has like 14 Emmys so he's extremely gifted in that field and he's done documentaries as well. However, when you hear David's account of the path he took in life, you'll know as well as I did that this individual was always supposed to be an artist. He just took a different track and that happens to a lot of us in life, right? We think we're a doctor and then all of the sudden we're an art dealer. David lets us into his life and explains how this whole new world opened up for him and when it did and that it was an epiphany. It was an epiphany for him to do the Olympics in 1976 and it was an epiphany to start creating when his wife bought him watercolors to start painting for his 50th birthday. Anyone who's out there who thinks "I don't have what it takes" or "I want to do it but I can't, I  just don't have the confidence" listen to this podcast and you'll get the confidence to go out there and get your brushes, get your paints and start painting. If you really have that drive you know what? You're going to succeed. Very fun podcast with a unique and interesting guy, David Michaels.
