Inspiration. We all want it. We all need it. Without it, taking the necessary actions to realize our goals and dreams in life is virtually impossible. In this episode of the podcast, I talk all about where to find it and how to keep it.

- You can also use your phone or computer to store your inspiration swipe file.
- So how do you stay inspired? Just spend some time with your swipe file frequently. Or hang out with inspiring people, and visit places you’ve never been before.
- Like everything else in life, inspiration fades if you don’t renew it.
- Inspiration is a means to an end. It’s meant to stir you into taking action toward your own creative endeavors.

- Arch Motorcycles – I’m inspired by the passion and dedication to their craft that Keanu Reeves and Gard Hollinger bring to their company. They design and manufacture custom motorcycles in California. Born out of their passion for riding, these two create rolling art. They also know a thing or two about being inspired. You’ll find custom art hanging in the production bays of their shop. They do this because, “Art inspires art,” as Gard says. Here’s the story of Arch.
