Dreamcatchers District Podcast - Mindset, Authentic Marketing, Coaching, Goals, Creative Entrepreneur, Online Business, Fear

Today on the Podcast, Guest Emmanuel Belliveau:

If you've ever had a dark night of the soul, where you lost sight of who you were or what you wanted or why you started, and you emerged stronger — than you know how important mindset, rituals and lifestyle design become. This is inner Creative Direction at its core.

But if you're still going through it and you're looking for that light at the end of the tunnel, enter creative designer Emmanuel Belliveau whose multiple successes in entertainment and design speak volumes about the attitude of gratitude.

How Empathy & Enjoyment Attract Ease:

You may recognize Emmanuel as a TV host on HGTV, Discovery Channel and the CW. But what you may not know is what a thoughtful, kind, multi-passionate creative entrepreneur and creative activist he really is; working also as the design partner of Marko Taylor (a start up handbag company in LA helping to support women in Kenya) and the creative director of Price Wellness House (a center for women in Uganda).

When he's not designing, you can find Emmanuel celebrating community, doing Crossfit and figuring out more ways to incorporate work into travel. Annnd you can find me knocking on his door, ready to host a popup live event in Toronto. Oh, and asking for design tips on what to do first with our sweet LA fixer upper.
