It’s fun to switch things up once in a while. For over 70 shows, we’ve interviewed top musicians, artists and creatives, but our host has never been on the hot seat himself to answer questions about his creative routines. In this special episode, singer, host and vivacious personality LaVie (lavie-music.com) takes over The God and Gigs Show in a conversation with Allen on the creative process, marketing your business, productivity and self-care, among other things all relating to the inner workings of the life of an artist and entrepreneur. LaVie has built up a loyal following as a talented singer, songwriter and host. She and Allen are co-founders of Sit, Sing and Swing, a summer concert series featuring local and world-renowned artists in South Florida, and she has several inspirational and soulful projects to her credit, including her first album “Life Music”, the single “Alive” and the Caribbean dance hit “Queen”. Her newest project, “Ventilate and Vibe” on Instagram, is a variety / interview show that profiles creatives and uncovers the hidden characteristics that make them special. Key Topics covered in this episode: A inside look into Allen’s history as a writer, musician and entrepreneur How to structure and maintain an effective daily creative routine The importance of self-awareness when it comes to mental and emotional health as a creative A in-depth look at Allen’s morning journal routine and why it is a powerful way to center and stabilize your mindset Why the ‘will of God’ is often less complicated than we think, and why we use it to delay acting on our goals.
