Creativity vs. Discipline: The Missing Piece in Your Fame Strategy — with Alex Stewart
What if the reason your career hasn’t popped off yet isn’t your content, your talent, or your mindset—but your discipline?
In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Alex Stewart, my team’s Director of Implementation and the brain behind our viral 21-Day Brainwashing Challenge. Together, we break down why creatives resist structure, how discipline actually fuels freedom, and what it takes to turn your big ideas into sustainable momentum.
We talk about:
The two types of creatives—and which one you are
Why “discipline” isn’t the enemy of creativity (it’s the amplifier)
How to build consistency without killing your flow
Why talent without a plan leads to burnout
The mindset shift that separates the self-sabotaging artist from the self-made celebrity
✨ If you’ve ever said “I know what I should be doing, I just can’t get myself to do it,” this conversation will rewire how you think about action, success, and follow-through.
