Ep #007: A Purpose Driven Life With Musician Frank Shiner

Life can throw a lot of heartache, stress and pressure your way and often dreams are shut down and creativity is suppressed in order to enter survival mode. What happens when your passions wake up or life gives you opportunities to express yourself and go after your goals again? Well, according to Frank Shiner, you need to just express it and get it out. He has faced his fair share of hard times and has come out of it joyful, full of fun and success. Frank is now here to share his inspiring story along with some wisdom and insight as to how you can also open back up your passions and expressions. With a heart full of compassion and a mind that needs a specific direction, Frank has landed himself in a sweet spot where he is performing and recording and able to give away the proceeds to charity. After hitting a rough spot financially and later finding out his wife had cancer, he had pretty much thrown away his dream to be an entertainer to pursue a steady income and put his family first. Frank discusses how he internalized this and then how he much later was able to find his way back into the music scene. Frank talks about the dark side to suppressing creativity and the importance of allowing yourself to express yourself. He also talks about managing priorities and keeping things fun and light hearted. Frank also shares how faith and conviction affect how he does business and manages his life. He also talks about the life changing advice someone shared with him that changed his thinking.
