WITH YOU BY TWIN CITIES
NATIVE.
HIS MUSIC HAS BEEN ON TV
SHOWS LIKE BONES AND JUDGING
AMY.
HE'S WRITING A DIFFERENT STORY.
WRITING AT THE NEXT CHAPTER OF
HIS LIFE IN A BOOK CALLED LET
ME OUT.
IN THE BOOK HE TALKS ABOUT
CHANNELING HIS CREATIVE TALENTS.
HE'S ALSO ON A DIFFERENT TO HER
DOING WORKSHOPS AROUND THE
WORLD HELPING COMPANIES.
HE JOINS US NOW ON MIDMORNING.
GLAD TO HAVE YOU.
THE BIG NEWS IS WHAT YOU CALL
THIS PART OF YOUR WORLD.
TELLS ABOUT THE WORKSHOPS.
A LOT OF COMPANIES, A LOT OF
PEOPLE IN GENERAL ARE LOOKING
AT CHANGE AND WHETHER THEY WANT
THE CHANGE OR NOT.
A LOT OF TIMES THAT CHANGE
ENGENDERS A LOT OF FEAR WHICH
STYMIES CREATIVITY.
I GIVE THEM TECHNIQUES TO
MOMENTARILY SET ASIDE THAT FEAR
AND LET OUT THEIR INNATE
CREATIVITY.
I LIKE THAT MOMENTARILY.
IT CAN BE A LOT TO LET THAT
DOWN ALL AT ONCE.
THAT MAKES SENSE.
THERE IS A CERTAIN AMOUNT OF
VERACITY TO WHAT I'M DOING.
I'M NOT CLAIMING TO MAKE THEM A
FEARLESS PERSON.
NO ONE IS.
IT'S REALISTIC AND PRACTICAL.
IT'S FUN.
I WORK WITH DIFFERENT GROUPS,
CHILDREN FROM URBAN CENTERS,
WARRIORS, MAJOR CORPORATIONS.
WHAT IS THE LINE FOR MUSIC.
HOW DID YOU REALIZE THAT
CREATIVE OUTLET COULD BE USED
IN A DIFFERENT WAY?
SONGWRITING ITSELF IS A HIGH-
MINDED METAPHOR.
BUT IT HAS A RIGID STRUCTURE.
LIKE ALL OUR WORK AND
RELATIONSHIPS DO.
IT ALSO IS COMBINED WITH THIS
HUMAN EMOTIVE SUBSTANCE AND
IT'S THE COMBINATION, SOME
PEOPLE THINK OF IT AS THE LEFT
AND RIGHT BRAIN.
I THINK MUSIC IS A GOOD EXAMPLE
OF THAT PLAYED OUT IN THE
WORLD.
PART OF MY METAPHOR IS BRINGING
YOU SICK TO THESE WORKSHOPS.
WE WILL TALK A LITTLE BIT
ABOUT YOUR BOOK.
LET ME OUT.
IS THAT TALKING ABOUT LETTING
OUT THE CREATIVE SIDE?
PEOPLE TALK ABOUT THEIR
AUTHENTICITY.
WHAT HAPPENS TO US WHEN WE ARE
NOT AFRAID IN A SOCIAL
ENVIRONMENT OR WORK
ENVIRONMENT, WE START TO EMERGE
IN OUR BEST SELVES COME OUT.
THAT IS MY METAPHOR FOR LETTING
OUT THE SELF.
IN THIS BOOK THERE IS A
CONCEPT ABOUT MARV.
THIS IS A VOICE, EVERYONE HAS.
NO MATTER WHO YOU ARE, UP ON
STAGE THERE IS THIS VOICE
INSIDE COPY FOR YOU TAKE ACTION
TO SAY NO YOU CANNOT DO IT.
YOU WILL BE TERRIBLE.
THIS MAJORLY AFRAID OF
REVEALING VULNERABILITY, THIS
IN A CHARACTER.
WE KNOW THIS.
IT'S IN THERE.
AND HE FEATURES LARGE IN THE
BOOK.
THE BOOK DOES NOT SAY KILL THIS
CHARACTER, IT SAYS RESPECT HIS
ABILITY AND ANTHROPOMORPHIC
ABILITY TO SAVE YOUR LIFE.
IF A RAPID DOG IT WERE TO COME
HE WOULD BE THE ONE TO PULL THE
ADRENALINE.
YOU FIND GIVING IT A
CHARACTER HELPS YOU UNDERSTAND
FIGHTING THAT?
OR DOING ITS JOB MORE?
I THINK IT'S IMPORTANT THAT
SOMEONE HAS THIS COGNIZANT
MINDFULNESS.
THAT IS JUST THIS MARV THING.
I CAN GO ON THAT SHOW OR TAKE
THE PAINTING COURSE OR TRY
THESE NEW THINGS.
ONCE WE SEPARATE IT OUT.
THE BOOK IS PEOPLE A WAY TO SEE
WHAT'S GOING ON.
AND GENTLY PUSH MARV, GIVEN A
NEW YORK TIMES AND LATTE.
YOU HAVE AN EVENT COMING UP.
A Q&A SESSION.
NORMALLY HE CHARGES
CORPORATIONS AN UNGODLY AMOUNT
OF MONEY.
BUT THE PEOPLE CAN GO FOR FREE
TO OPEN BOOK IN MINNEAPOLIS.
COMMANDMENT.
PICK PEERS BRAIN AND TALK ABOUT
THE BOOK.
