Show notes

Welcome to an exciting new masterclass on designing the life of your dreams. First, you’ll learn the process for identifying your own North Star, why this is important at the beginning of creating your new life, and how to use your North Star to guide you in the process of designing your life. Next, you’ll dive deep into the 3-part framework: Emulate, Assimilate, and Innovate. This framework is the backbone of the University of Southern California’s world-renowned Popular Music major taught at their Thornton School of Music. It’s the creative process artists use to create songs, movies, and video games. The framework has helped launch Grammy-winning artists and touring musicians for the past decade. I just learned about it a week ago and was so blown away that I had to share it with you. When an artist creates a song, they begin with a blank piece of paper. When you design your life, you are an artist with a blank canvas. Today, you’re invited to tap into the artist within and learn how to find your North Star and use the creative process to bring your vision for your future to life.
