In this powerful and deeply personal conversation, I sit down with Anthony Mottley, filmmaker, podcaster, and former television producer, to reflect on the unexpected turns of a creative life. Anthony shares stories from his early days in radio and public television to his current journey as a writer, revealing how every detour, mistake, and challenge led him closer to purpose. Together, we explore the nonlinear path of transformation, the wisdom of lived experience, and the moments that force us to reimagine what truly matters.

Anthony speaks candidly about facing a cancer diagnosis, the humbling reality of not being in control, and the radical clarity that comes when everything you thought was important suddenly falls away. We talk about intuition, creative process, and the tension between self-doubt and faith...both in art and in life. This is a story about breaking generational patterns, learning to trust the unfolding, and finding meaning in the mess. If you’ve ever questioned your path or wondered whether it’s too late to start again, this episode is for you.

Key Themes:

• Creative detours are not mistakes; they are invitations into deeper purpose.
• Legacy is built by showing up with intention, not perfection.
• A cancer diagnosis shifted everything, revealing what really matters and what doesn’t.
• Faith evolves into knowing, especially when you’re no longer in control.
• True self-expression requires risk, discomfort, and time.
• Art, like life, is about the process, not the polished outcome
