On today’s episode of “Harder to Breathe'', host, founding drummer of “Maroon 5”, and licensed therapist, Ryan Dusick is joined by co-host and actor Brian “Duck” Maillard for a conversation with Artist and Creativity Coach, Marc Sheff.
Marc is a renowned and award winning artist who has absolutely set the NYC art scene ablaze with his incredible work in resin. In addition to his art, he has recently opened himself up to creative coaching, acquiring multiple professional licenses on the path to giving creatives the permission they need to Create… Destroy… & Emerge as the person they desire to be.
Ryan, Duck, and Marc clearly speak the same creative language, and they have so much incredible insight into making sense of life’s chaos as an artistic person. They share a fantastic conversation about how creative people come to exist, embracing the “flow” state, choosing to take (and leave behind) certain aspects of our parents’ decision-making, and so much more.
Coaches come with many different approaches, but Marc’s stance that “Your Mess is Your Magic” is very on-brand for us here at the “Harder to Breathe” Podcast. His ability to be present in the moment, and to feel and embrace whatever he is currently experiencing is such a fantastic representation of a healthy approach to life, family, work, art, and so much more.
