Harness the Power of Creativity in 4 Steps
Time and again, this four-step approach I've dubbed my "Power Playlist" has been my secret weapon. It's more than just a method; it's been a journey of resilience, innovation, emotional balance, and endless motivation.

It's the essence of channeling the full spectrum of creativity, allowing me to charge headfirst into the unknown with all reckless abandon and emerge victoriously. This Power Playlist has been the linchpin in truly unlocking and leveraging the dynamism of creativity to shape a successful and fulfilling life.
Almost is Good Enough, So Respect the Effort
Art is never perfect. We always consider works of art to be "works in progress." The art that we've appreciated for millennia falls under this category. Whether it's your favorite book series of all time, your favorite piece of music, or your favorite painting or sculpture, these were all considered "works in progress" even down to the time they were published and revealed to the public. Why don't we have this same approach to our relationships, our careers, our strategies and campaigns? Why do we expect perfection where it will never exist?
What a Difference 20 Minutes a Day Makes
Everyone needs to find their creative outlet and cultivate it daily. Whether it's journaling, composing, painting, baking, gardening, or whatever, we need it, and we need to spend at least 20 minutes every day nurturing it. Fostering a creative outlet and dedicating time to nurture it can significantly enhance your life in numerous ways. Here are several reasons why everyone should consider engaging in creative activities for at least 20 minutes a day:
Shaun's Bestselling Musical Fantasy Series:
"...Shaun was engaging from start to finish! He quickly captured our students' interest with his musical talent and held their engagement throughout with his story of perseverance and resilience. I must have asked 100 plus students after the event how they liked it and it was overwhelmingly positive!"
Steven Fisher
"Shaun was personable, accommodating, entertaining, relatable, and engaging as he worked with our students and staff. Shaun is highly skilled and respected as a music artist, author, motivational speaker and person. He utilizes his abilities to bring the message straight to the students and staff in a way that kept everyone engaged and focused the entire duration of the assembly. We would highly recommend Shaun! We want him to come back to our school again soon."
Thane Hutchinson
"Shaun's assembly with Spanish Fork High School music students was AWESOME! The students were totally engaged and invested the entire time. His energy is infectious and he inspired our students. We loved having him here!"

Shaun's message was positive and inspirational, and it also connected with the students in a way that allowed them to consider ways to use music to improve their mental health. If you are in need of a school-wide activity to promote student mental health and well-being, we recommend Live for Music!
