What's up everybody? What's up? Welcome to wake up call with Paul. I'm your host, Paul Fournier. Here we talk about everything empowerment, to make sure that we can just get our week off on the right, fresh track. This is all about mindset. This is all about empowering us to have positive, everlasting change in our lives and just build a community of people that really love the never ending constant growth journey of their life. So there's people, there's people on this channel that are athletes, there's people on this channel that are musicians, there's people that I work with that are in business. So we're going to be talking about all that type of stuff on this channel. So I'm so stoked to have you here. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much for being here. Again, my name is Paul fornia. I am a touring musician, singer songwriter. I've been in 13 different states toured under 13 different states now and touring around Florida and having a great time. I have an empowerment merge line and a whole bunch of other stuff is happening. And what do you think of this cool intro that we got, we got this cool intro thanks to my good friend, CJ boogatti. Appreciate you so much, man. He's He's a manager and a producer of mine, and just been a friend since like 2003, or 2004. So really love and appreciate you, man, thanks for helping this helping us make this thing even better than than what it was before. So I appreciate you so much, dude. This week, we're going to be talking about some cool stuff, I have a lot of value to give in this topic. And actually, I'm searching through my phone because this is where my notes are. So here we go. So the topic of today is how to use creativity to solve problems and create more value in your life. So how can you use creativity to solve more problems and create more value in your life? Okay, there's a lot of different ways that we can do this. And I'm just going to go down I have, I think I have actually have like four or five different strategies that I can give you. And four of these were actually conjured up by a man named Dr. Epstein, which is a serious, serious doctor in this kind of field. So check this out, it's you're going to love You're going to love what's coming up. So also, the other thing that we're starting to do now on wakeup call with Paul, it's Happy Mondays, again, is now a wake-up call. Paul, this is a whole new regime baby. This is a whole new thing, a whole new thing. So basically, what we decided to do was we worked, we worked honestly, me collectively, with CJ put around 15 or 20 hours, out to 15 to 20 hours, just making sure all of this live stuff worked out great. We we had a hard time getting all the audio linked up to this live stream. But it was well worth it. We're going to be taking live calls on this show. Now we're going to take in live calls. And we're going to take a live call today. So I'm going to go through the topic, I'm going to go through a question I'm going to, I'm going to present some statistics and some exercises to help you with being more creative or to help you obtain a little bit more knowledge and security and understanding in the topic that we just presented. And then we're going to take a call, we're going to I'm going to ask a question and open up the phone lines for calls. So thank you so so much for being here. This is wake up called Paul, this topic for this week is this how to use creativity to solve problems and create more value. Okay, we got some we got some stats in quotes here. So connect to local calm says when you view the art of others, you begin to understand Everyone has their own unique perspective on the world. This allows you to realize someone may view a problem differently than you do. As a result, they can begin to come up with new creative ways to solve such problems. So it's very, it's a very interesting thing. But we know that there's different perceptions and people look at things differently, we can access that just by knowing that those different perceptions actually exists in the world. It's a very great thing. It's just like with music. It's if you're used to performing one style of music, then and you never kind of branch out to other styles of music, you're not going to understand what other types of flavors you could use and other flavors or palettes or colors that you would you would be able to use in your soloing, your lyricism, the type of instrumentation that you use to totally create a new environment for yourself. But if you don't know that there's other things out there to use, then you won't be able to change your perception and create more things inside of the world that you already No. Okay. That's the whole basis of this entire podcast today. So again, thank you all so much for being here. And thank you, thank you, thank you. Okay, so we're gonna keep on cruising, we're gonna keep cruising. So the next thing history.com says, in his 84 years, Thomas Edison acquired a record number of 1093 patents single singly or jointly, and was the driving force behind such invention as the phonograph, the insert incandescent light bulb in one of the earliest Motion Picture cameras, he also created the world's first Industrial Research Laboratory. And I want you to think about that. This guy was known for a select few things in history that really, really Open up the floor for his popularity, which was obviously the light bulb. But this Did you know that that person had over 1000 different patents on other things. He had one actually to be exact we there's three major inventions that he they created. But he only had patents on 1090. Other other inventions. So what studies have shown is that when you're creative, when we're being creative isn't just a god given thing, it's not just a gift that you're just given. These are things that can be placed in your environment that you can place into your environment, to control to have more to exercise your creativity, and to become more creative, just by doing more things. And this next this next statistic was really cool is that next quote from a guy named Tim Hartford, talks about this, this theory of, of slow multitasking. And he talks about these, these scientists and these inventors and creatives in general, basically starting multiple different projects at one time. And because they're doing that over a long period of time, with with, with, with a nice flow without too much without anxiety without pressure, they're able to live in all these different types of perceptions. And it actually helps them create and dive deeper into other topics that they have. So that's why that a lot of creatives, a lot of scientists, a lot of business entrepreneurs, a lot of people create multiple things, and they do a lot of different things, and do this slow multitasking thing to be able to see different perceptions of the world and who they are in the places that they want to grow. Okay, so, Tim Harford This is taken from his TED Talk. He says that top scientists switch topics repeatedly during their first 100 research papers. On average, the most enduring creative scientists switch topics 43 times in their first 100 research papers, which seems that the secret to is to creativity is slow multitasking. It's multitasking, which is a very interesting thing. So all my ADHD people out there, if you're listening, that's for you, baby. That's for you. So let's see who's on Matt. What's up, Matt? Good morning, Matt van ski, what up baby? Good to see you, man. Good to see you. Good to hear you good to see your comment. Much love my friend. Much love indeed. So we're gonna keep we're gonna keep going. So basically, you know, Tim has something invaluable to talk about. And these are some things that I've done in my personal life for a long time to be able to write music to be able to do different things. They talk about the songwriting process, and how you almost some people have to go back to their home state, some people literally have to live in the same town that they lived in, and the same neighborhood to get some of those emotions back to be able to write while others travel the world, they have different experiences, they have these different things that they these different frames that they can see the world through. So when they're thinking about the topic of love, they can think about it not only from their perspective, but they can think about it from an actor's perspective. They can think about it from a construction workers perspective, just by creating that environment and making those assumptions like how would this person See this? And like we talked about last last last podcast, with a strategy to be more creative was question stalking, asking more questions to gain more of a deeper insight to what you're doing. The same thing holds true for basically going and looking at other types of experiences in your life and gaining those experiences to make yourself more creative. Tim also says just as athletes cross train to enhance more skills for their chosen sport, you can cross train the mind to Okay, so if you're reading, one thing that's really great to do, to have more creativity is spend one hour a day learning something new. Okay? shut out your phone, shut out your friends for a little bit. You don't have to forget about it for the whole day. Just spend an hour an hour by yourself learning something new, bring something new to the table, learn something new, enjoy what you're learning, and then go back to your work topic or your personal life or whatever it may be. And that could add more energy to even your relationships. Okay, so if you're if you're in a spot with your relationships with your friends or your family or, or, or, or romantic relationships in general and you want to add more spice, add more spice to yourself. Add more spice to yourself. Try going to a different restaurant and testing it out. Try a whole different other food that you've never had before. go skydiving, which I'm about to do here the next two or three weeks, by the way hard to get ahold of you Florida skydive people, what's up with that than leaving messages was that bruh want to skydive So, try some different stuff. Go to a different concert. Okay, if you're a creative and musician or if you're a filmmaker, stop making the same films, stop making the same music, stop pigeonholing yourself. If you If you're one of those people that I call a purist, a music purist, one of those people that just they, they might play a lot of jazz, they might play a lot of classical music, they might play a lot of like what would be called, like, very, I guess intellectual music, they sometimes look down at other musicians are other types of music, but they miss a whole boat of creative, creative energy that they can't use for their own pieces. So if you're one of those people that just feels like they're a little bit more highbrow or does know that they're highbrow and very specific and, and just opinionated about creativity in general. Open that up, try some different stuff, I promise your musics going to get better, I promise your films are going to get better watch different stuff, learn different stuff, be out in the world and have different experiences, multitask on different things to create more creativity. Okay, so again, the topic of this whole whole podcast is how to use creativity to solve problems and create more value. So creating more value for yourself through this process is a very fun thing. If you want to be more valuable in your relationship with a romantic partner. Try different things, try different things. Okay, make yourself more well rounded experience-wise, just by going out and trying something different that you haven't thought of before. Even Google top 10 things to do in my local area, and go do those things, go do it. I've never been to painting with a twist. I don't drink anymore. I don't drink wine. But I can go do paint by numbers or whatever I can go I can do it go do that. That's going to totally changed my experience. I went to a yoga class for the first time actually, for like the third or fourth time in my life the other day. And I was really happy to go to that just because it changed my experience and change my reality for how I see the world. And those are the types of things that add even more spice in an off to your relationships, baby. You know what I mean? Like just just a feeling of togetherness, a feeling of a passion, just a different light and shade to put over your world. I mean, this is a great thing for especially for all the couples that have been together for a long, long time and just have been doing the same stuff. When you're in a small town especially there's not doesn't seem like there's that much stuff to do. You might have to get creative. Okay. Have you ever been kayaking? Sure. Have you ever been in a sandwich and had a bottle of wine? Sure. But have you done those things together? On a midnight excursion by yourself with your best friend with somebody else with a business partner with a romantic partner, they came in, I like to do this thing where I go, like midnight kayaking once a month. And when the moon's full, I can go out and it's just a beautiful experience. And we're out there for like one, we're out there till like one or two in the morning. And we come back home, we rest up and it's a great experience. That kind of stuff. putting two different things together that you really enjoy is a great way to create more value, valuable experiences and solve problems. So we're we're getting to the point where we're about to take a call and I'm really, really excited about this. I'm really excited. But first I want to talk about I want to talk give you some strategies. I want to give you some strategies. But first actually First I want to give you guys a question. So what's up CJ boogatti in the house? Matty, he's still here. Got a ride. All right. I'll catch you soon. Maddy. Katie. What's up, girl? What's up? Welcome. Welcome to a wake up call with Paul. I love this. We got so many good homies in the house today. I love this love this love you love you. I'm just going through and heart and all these comments right here? Because it can because it can you know what I mean? All right. So my question, is this. My question is this. Okay. And this is the question that I posted on the comments on the on the description. So my question is this. How have you created more value for yourself or solve problems using creativity or using multitasking? How have you solved problems for yourself, or created more value for the people around you or yourself just by being more creative, and practicing being more creative? Okay, so I'm going to I'm going to take calls here in a second after I go through some of these, some of the strategies that I found, and then we're going to have fun answering that topic with a live call, okay. And I'm going to post the phone number right down here, right down here somewhere. Yep, and post the phone number right there so you can give a shout. So this was taken by open colleges.edu. That edu. It's the it's by Marianne Stanger and the topic or the title of this blog is called can we learn to be more creative? psychologists and leading creativity and innovation researcher Dr. Robert Epstein has identified four core competencies that can help individuals think more creatively and generate novel ideas is research published, published in the creative Research Journal shows that strengthening these four areas can greatly enhance creativity. For the first study employees from Orange County, California participated in creativity training seminars that had been developed to increase proficiency in four areas for areas. When the same employees were evaluated. Eight months later, they had increased their rate of new idea generation by 55% 55%. So for anyone looking to develop their creativity, Epstein recommends working on the following. One, capturing new ideas. This is something that we talked about before with Happy Mondays, was capturing new ideas. And that is, in his words, find in effective or her words find an effective way to preserve novel ideas as they occur without judging or editing them. So do you carry around a journal? Or do you do you write down a spot on your notes on your phone, little phone app, and have creative things or ideas that you have things that really spark you and I want to I want you to think about that when you come up with a creative idea. It should, or something that you really vibe with, you should feel a spark right away, that are like, almost like gasping put into an engine hyrecar wants to kind of jump forward, you want to be like, Oh, man, I feel that I want to move forward on this. Write that idea down, don't judge it. Don't think it that can't come true. Whatever, just write it down, just write it down, and record and record these sites, the sorts of ideas and memories. And this might mean carrying a notepad or jotting down your ideas throughout the day or using voice record a voice recorder to record any original ideas. Okay, seeking out new challenges is number two, don't shy away from challenging problems or projects, even if there is no real solution or answer to the problem. Simply forcing yourself to think about the possibilities will help you generate new ideas. I'm telling you right now, we I spent 15 hours this week just on trying to get my voice to come through the live stream, and to get the video working properly and get everything working properly. So we could do this the right way. Okay, that was the most taxing thing. I promise you. I'm serious. That was one of the that was the most taxing thing I've done in the last in the last three or four months, is just trying to get this stuff ready. Because it was like, You spent hours and hours doing this stuff you don't feel like you get anywhere because there's only one solution, the problem make the make the audio work. And if it doesn't, it didn't work for, again, 10 to 15 hours at a time. And then finally snapped in the place last night. I didn't do anything my I've been my my, my my house is dirty My car is I need to wash and clean that I need to do certain things. But I gave myself a priority to not move outside of this until I fixed it. So we could do this. But afterwards, it just gave me much more freedom, it gave me that endorphin rush of saying I did something. And on top of that, now I can I can talk about more things with you guys. And I can be more professional. And I can open up more creativity for other things. And that whole time, I've been asking my brain to come up with a solution that isn't there, which is a difficult thing for your brain to do. But with using this type of of exercises or these types of exercises, you can start to find light in the dark. Okay. So let's keep on going seeking out challenges also means you'll fail at times. So accepting failure as a possibility is also a necessity is also a necessity to being creative. You have to and this is what I've talked about before, we talked about failed ratios on the show. So if you if you have a failed ratio of say, five out of five, if you're failing five out of five things that you're doing, you're doing something wrong, okay? But if you're winning five out of five times, then you're you're you're too comfortable. You're not trying, you're not growing. So a good failed ratio is two out of five times are failing or three out of five times you fail. So don't be worried about the failure. Get yourself out there and really, really feel yourself growing by just accepting the fails accepting the fails. So yes, multitasking solo midnight kayaking. Yes, dude. Yeah, we're gonna do that. We're gonna do that. So let's keep on cruising. Let's keep on cruising. There's two more manage your surroundings, okay? your surroundings can also have a big impact on how you think. And Epstein says surround yourself with diverse and novel physical and social stimuli can stimulate new ways of thinking or, and original ideas. This can include anything from expanding your social network, to visiting museums to decorating your work or study space with unusual objects. Excuse me a following up study by Epstein confirm that these four trainable competencies can and can enhance creative expression but also show that the one thing that that was most effective was capturing new ideas, capturing new ideas, says I've seen says that this is the most critical part of these four steps is capturing new ideas capture your new ideas. So if you want to get started with something simple, get yourself a pocket sized notebook and make a habit of documenting your ideas even if they don't initially seem all that groundbreaking. Okay, so that's it. That's it. Those are my strategies. Those are the strategies that I've come up with. And I also have a different names for it. It's called perception, renewal. Perception renewal is something that I came up with that, that basically puts all of this in a nutshell, okay? If you're perceiving, we have a mentor of mine always says to me, we're here now in the place in our life, because of the skills and the vision that we saw. Getting here to go to the next phase of our lives. And to expand even more, we're going to need new visions, new fields, new environments, sometimes to make that happen. Okay, so putting yourself into a new environment, putting yourself out there writing down new ideas being opened, all this stuff is exactly how you make this all go down. Okay, that's exactly how you answer the question of being more creative in general. Okay, so, without further ado, wake up cold Paul's time is starting right now. And we're about to take one of our first live calls. I'm, I'm so excited about this. Here we go. I'm going to put this number on the screen. And what we're going to do is we're just going to take a call, we're just going to take a call. So we're gonna get ready, get ready. And as we're as we're waiting for somebody to come in, I just want to share again, thank you so much for this opportunity to be in front of you. Thank you so much for allowing me to share. Thank you for taking part of this podcast. This whole thing is all about empowering ourselves being more creative, and loving each other. Okay. expanding our resources in the process. All right. So that's what this whole thing is about. Alright, I this is my one of my favorite things to do. I love this equally as much as playing music out to be honest with you. I it's great. I love this so much. So thank you for being here. Thank you for making this a big part of my week. Thank you. Okay, we're gonna keep cruising. We're gonna keep cruising. Alright, hold on, hold on. Okay, hold on. Cool. Now, I'm just gonna go ahead and play I'm just gonna play some music just while we just while we wait here for a sec. All right. All right. Again, welcome. wake up call for y'all. Welcome. Welcome. All calm down. Just asked about the show. No, Mama. Hello. Hey, what's up my man? How you doing? Welcome to wake up calls Paul. Hey, Paul. What's going on dude? Great. Great to hear your voice. Likewise, man, this is this is Andre. Correct? Yes, sir. Yes, sir. Well, welcome the Wake Up Calls. Paul. We got you live here on the air. We're going live on Facebook and all that good stuff right now. So thank you for Thank you for tuning in my man, I really appreciate that. So the question of today was, how has creativity helped you solve more problems in your life, and helps you gain more value? By the way this is? This is Andre. This is Andre. He's calling and he's he's a big supporter of the show and everything. So I really appreciate you my friend. So let's talk about that. Andre, what's how has creativity brought more value into your life? And how has it helped you save more? or solve more problems? And what were some of those techniques that you used to do that? Yeah, the creativity. We all have that right. You just got to tap into typically, I've always found is I have to have my hand forced up first, you know, so once I get forced into that corner, I get really creative. So using the outside as an example, employment, you know, I've done something different all my life than what I'm doing today. Yeah. So, in the past, I've worked in manufacturing, and now I'm working in sales. And so I had to kind of reinvent myself. So, typically, was when I push into the corner again, most open minded and willing to learn. Yeah, okay. Okay, so it's kind of like the forceful thing like with so is that was that more of like an outside force or an internal force that kind of pressured you into doing more things and be more creative, rather not, you write an outside force kind of push my kind of force my hand into being creative, you know. So that's, that's the way I tapped into the creative side. So I've done also like all of us, with keeping bank COVID and mountainous type days and times, that kind of rethinking everything you know, so all of us have had to do that and be a little bit creative and maintain and ourselves physically and mentally. So rather than go into a gym and working out, I work out at home. So just got to look at it, look at it from a different perspective, and use that creativity again. Yeah. Now, that's awesome, man. That's awesome. And now, now, you You said that you start when it when did you start losing your eyesight? You mentioned that I sort of started I was told I was legally blind, I'm probably about 25 years ago. So obviously got progressively worse and then stopped working about 1112 years ago now. Full time, all the time type of job. So I had to kind of recreate what I was doing. So not the job I was doing was no longer feasible. So when I saw it was an outside, yeah, I was kind of pushed into a corner of being creative and think outside my normal box. And what I see is me, so I had to recreate that. Yeah. And if you don't mind me asking me what what was that? What was that process? Like? I mean, what was what was one of the things that, you know, I mean, this, this happened to you health wise, and then you had to be like, Okay, well, now I can't do this, what am I going to do, and what was one of the things that, that helps give you some, some energy and some, some passion and some focus, to get yourself out of where you were to have this new, new, Andre, so to speak, and help you or help you battle some of this new stuff? Well, first of all, I was spiritually first and, you know, and do prayer and meditation, and just give us some deep thought, and, you know, frankly, just consulting with some really good friends of mine, you know, and, and also reaching out to people that have been through this, you know, I'm not I'm not reinventing the wheel, I'm not the first guy that's ever lost some of his outside, just, you know, utilizing what others have done, and see how I can use that creativity to put that into my life in a way that's not a square peg in a round hole, you know, so that still feels good. So because it's funny man, like when, when you when you go through a lot in life, it's it's you get to, you get to your end game, you go through all the struggles, you're the one that sees that, so but when you get to the end of that, everybody sees the success, you know what I mean? They don't see you calling five or six other people that are a little bit visually impaired to figure out how they did it, you don't see them, you don't see these people spending hours and hours researching just different jobs, different things that they can do different things that they can, they can they can accomplish with this sort of inability. So but and that's, and that's so incredible. But that's I mean, then a nutshell, that's what we're talking about, about about taking those different perceptions take and calling out and reaching out for different people, to give you a different mindset and to be more creative about where you are in your life. You know, I think that's beautiful. And that's, and that's Ladies and gentlemen, that's that's literally a direct representation of what we're doing here. That's literally the direct representation of this whole topic today, is asking more questions to be more creative. And my question is this for most people? I mean, actually, Andre, do you think that? I mean, what do you how do you feel about this? Like, do you feel that people are naturally creative? Or do they just ask more questions? What would you think? I think some people are naturally creative, you know, in essence, they're, that's just who they are, you know. So, some of us, like me, almost have to be forced into getting creative, you know, to really start to think outside the box, you know, as long as I'm comfortable, everything's good, you know, so. So I get a little uncomfortable, and I have to think outside the box, you know, that's when you start. You know, it's hard to reach out for help sometimes and as other people, I think a lot of us struggle with that. I know I'll do even today. So, even given the challenges I have, I have a problem reaching out for help. So I know other people do, you know, they just don't have the same challenges I do. So it's I think it's important for all of us. to, you know, be teachable, be coachable and be trainable and have an open mind. You know, seek out those people you can identify with or people that you want to be you aspire to be like, you know, seek them out, seek their advice, you know, there's the sage advice will always help you out. Right. And so they've done something I haven't done. I don't have to reinvent the wheel, I can know how to be creative completely. Yeah, I think that can depend on somebody else, too. So that's awesome. And I love what you said about, you know, being able to be teachable, you know, and that's, that's a whole other podcast on itself. You know, what I mean, being able to relinquish whatever thoughts or beliefs you have about where you're at, or whatever, and just literally be teachable? soaking? a sponge? Yeah. And it's so funny. It's like, and like you said, I think a lot of people are afraid to reach out, you know, and I heard this, uh, this quote, off of a movie called waking life, where this guy basically sits down, he says, you know, what's the most? What's the most average? Or? Or? What's the most? What are the two most human unique characteristics that everybody shares? The most, would it be fear, or laziness? You know, and I think the thing that holds me back a lot from from where I'm going is just is just a lot of times, it's it would be fear, or, or just, of the unknown, or fear of having pain in my life, you know, like we talked about before, it's like, you know, you have to have a, you have to be able to fail to grow, you have to fail to grow. So, I mean, not all the time. But I would say I would say a lot of the time you have to, you can't be afraid of the pain of failure, or whatever that may be. And you have to go out there and do it. And I think that's one of the things that, that I've learned so much, and why, why I'm not afraid to reach out to people now. You know, it'd be I want to make sure that like with music, I don't want to reach out to some people because I want to be a little bit more ready, and I want to have things ready to go. So I'm not really afraid to reach out to these people. I'm just really waiting for this to be just right. You know what I mean? So, but there's another thing too, don't be waiting around too long. You can't be waiting around too long. Right? Right. Exactly. Exactly. The word of past you bought while you're waiting. Yeah. That's true, man. That's true. Dude, Andre Levin. Appreciate, man. Thanks for calling in today. And, and we'll definitely be catching up soon. Thank you for your support. Man. I really appreciate you and have a good day, brother. We'll be talking soon. All right. You too. could could talk into the world peace,peace, probably likewise. So that was that was Andre Andre. And that's incredible. Man. There's so many people that are going through a lot of the same stuff and a lot of different things. We have Tina, Tina is in the house. What up, girl? Thank you. Thanks for driving. And she says, Tina says creativity is so hard for me suffering.

Okay, let me let me just let me just look, I'm gonna research something real quick. Tina, we're just we're gonna we're gonna look at some stuff. Okay, one second. One second girl one second. Okay. Yeah. And that's something that's something that we can look into a little bit more. Mr. presence to Tina. Thank you, girl. Thank you. Thank you for being here. Yeah, so it is it is. And when you have when you have sort of different personalities that that, that you conjure up or, or that just feel like so naturally a part of who you are, I wouldn't I would say this, maybe prioritize the ones that that that fit. that fit more of the consistency of who you are, maybe there's three or four or five different different levels. And I think a lot of people have this in their life to where you take on three to four different hats in your life, right. And all you want to do is be able to feel normal, taking all these hats, but baby, there's a line that goes through all of these different phases of who you are, that that are consistent. There's a consistent line like, like, for instance, like, I can be business Paul and I can negotiate. But the underlining factor of what makes me a good business person is the fact that I really care about who I'm doing business with, and I want to give them value. I want to work with people that see each other. I want a natural connection, I want a real connection with people. And if I don't have that, I piece out. It happened recently, two or three weeks ago, I drove all the way up to Deland and met some folks that we thought we'd have some good investment, we thought we'd have some good energy together, and it just didn't work out. But that's okay. That's fine. We don't need to work together. That's fine. We're on to the next one. Okay. And that leaves space open for more things. So there's that I'm always heart centered. When it comes to that or with music. Again, I put my heart into that I want to give people value and I want to exchange good stuff. So try to find that line that connects that that's you that's consistent. That's you that consistency between all those things, try to find that. Okay, try to find that grounding. But we'll definitely Actually, you know what, Tina, let's let's talk a little bit. Let's talk a little bit DM me on Facebook, let me know what's going on. Let me know how things are happening. And because I definitely need to catch up with you regardless. So let's see that, as of now, concludes our second episode of wake up call with Paul. So again, I thank you all so much for being here. Thank you for just your presence. Thank you for thank you for understanding, thank you for building this community, and sharing the love y'all, I really appreciate you so much. Again, if you're looking to find more creativity to be able to, to be able to solve problems and create more value for yourself. You can always ask more questions, you can always call more people, you can always try different experiences, you can always do different things, even if it's a different direction to work in the morning, even if it's a YouTube video of a topic that you've always wanted to learn. But you've never felt like you've had the time to turn it on for 10 to 15 minutes, learn something new. Try this different stuff. Write down your ideas, no matter how silly or whatever you think they are. Don't even give yourself the time to judge those ideas. If you get a spark from that idea, write that baby down and keep it with you. Keep it with you. Okay, that's what you do. That's what you do. Write down these ideas, write down these things, ask more questions, experience more things in life. And then you'll find more perceptions, which help you look at that initial problem or situation differently. That's literally what being creative is some people's brains just do this automatically. Some people need to be empowered just like me to help create more creativity in their lives. So again, thank you so, so much for your endless support. I appreciate you all so so much. My name is Paul Fournier. You are watching wake up call with Paul. And I can't wait to see you next Monday. We're going over an entire series of creativity for the next two weeks after this too. And then I think we're gonna start getting into either ADHD, or some relationship stuff, or some business stuff. I haven't quite decided yet. So please stay tuned. It's gonna be fun, y'all. So again, thank you so much for your support. If you're looking for if you're looking to help out with the channel, we're always looking for donations, you can always Venmo me or cash at me at Paul fornia official, I'm actually going to write that down, right down here, Paul fornia, official for Venmo or cash app. And that helps that helps me pay other producers, other marketers, other managers to help me make the show better. It gives me more time to research it helps me It helps me get the word out even more. So we can have more of a community talking and exploding and exploring more different different different scenarios and topics. So again, I appreciate y'all so much. I also have a merchandise line that's coming out pretty soon. And I've I haven't put anything online yet. But I will start to do that here the next month. So I'm really excited about that. So March is the month that I should be getting all of my e commerce stuff online.
