I first met Patrick 12 years ago through our mutual friend Brad, and have been hanging out ever since. We've traveled to Nicaragua a couple of times to paint murals together with Love, Light and Melody, and also worked together when I was at Outdoor Retailer. When it comes to painting murals, Patrick is on the top of the food chain.

Topics Include:

• Wrestling with inadequacy
• Getting past doubt
• Make the jump from amateur to pro artist
• The side of Art no one ever talks about—mastering business 

Bio:
"Nature, animals and design elements are themes that my drawings, paintings and murals focus on. My work sparks conversation on disappearing nature and the encroachment of the modern world with subjects and their surroundings depicted in a harmony and balance that they wouldn't normally interact with. Travel and personal experiences drive the imagery used to tell specific stories in my work. I weave rich surreal elements and high detail-intensive components to create a unique viewing experience. "

Patrick has worked with brands like: Toms, Red Bull, Yeti, Denver Zoo, and Brekenridge Brewery.

I met Brian a year ago when we were building the first pro North American cycling team for Bianchi. Now he is a  friend who I enjoy discussing mental fortitude with. So, it only made sense to have him on the show.

Brian McCulloch is a Coach at Big Wheel Coaching and a professional cyclist who spent over ten years racing for one of the winningest teams in American Road Cycling. He is a state and national champion across multiple disciplines and is a former winner of the Belgian Waffle Ride in San Diego. As a coach his passion is helping Athletes accomplish the big goals on their bucket list.

But this conversation isn't just for cyclists. Topics include:

• How to be more resilient
• Exactly how to build mental fortitude (pain cave)
• How to close the gap between where you are and where to want to be
• Teaching sacrifice to children

You may not recognize his name, but you will for sure recognize his work. Davy has illustrated films such as Lion King,  Beauty and The Beast,  Aladdin, Mulan and Star Wars.⠀

"The founder of Kendu Films, Davy Liu, was born in Taiwan, the son of a prominent baker. As he later entered school, he earned poor grades in his academic studies resulting in very low self-esteem. He struggled with making straight A’s but was gifted in drawing straight lines.⠀
⠀
His family immigrated to the United States in 1982 where he met his 8th grade art teacher Poppy Kincaid. She discovered Davy’s talent and encouraged him with the words “You can do it”. That following year, Davy was selected as a top 20-award winner in a U.S. national art competition⠀
⠀
This instilled a confidence and passion in Davy that encouraged him to pursue art and later became a fine animator and production designer for Walt Disney Feature Animation, Warner Brother Feature Animation, and Industrial Light and Magic. Davy often recalls what his art teacher told him, “You can do it”. Therefore, Kendu Films hopes to create inspirational and wholesome content that encourages children and families everywhere to have a “Can Do” spirit.”⠀

Topic Discussed:⠀

•Teaching Michael Jackson how to draw Simba from Lion King⠀
