Well Done to all the creatives that have submitted their Holiday Challenge. I dream of one day being the Founder of a study/training academy to facilitate a environment for students to gain the insight and hoping to become their best version of themselves through expressing the desire to create and design. I am hoping that I get to meet like minded folks who can join me and connect with vision where we offer first class training and fellowship and lift others up as we endeavour to see budding designers and future entrepreneurs touch the world with their work and purpose. Happy New Year to all.
Regards
Darryl.

If we have come from a creator and it is in our nature to create and design if we look all around us over the past 200 years we live in an environment that has taken us out of a natural rhythm of being, outdoors to been everyday indoors where ever we go is a cause for more innovative ways to gain back our freedom to still create however with a healthy frame of mind since we are heading into the era of flying cars and space exploration. Should we not look to this future becoming more about travel than staying indoors all day. Should we start looking at more freedom to travel.
I did a comparison study between the distances fish and ants travel because of their nature to and since they don't live in confined environments. We are going to need to look at new ways to do work and change how we live currently.

Elasticstage.com (https://Elasticstage.com) is one way to get your music out on LP or CD one way to reach the souls of music lovers.
My latest soundtrack is a mental health awareness as the words are around the challenges of stress and anxieties and challenges that people face and reach out to experts like Dr. Caroline Leaf or
Or other therapy specialists facing life without answers.
My latest music created with people in mind that face darkness or Feel isolated at this time of the year.
This song has real potential to connect with people struggling mentally because it captures something raw and honest about the wilderness experience—not the biblical one, but the psychological one we all face.

I want to create a online shop with its focus on mental health awareness and be the salt of the earth through music, ebooks, apparel and household items that, would love to see my music even though it is AI spread the good news that yes even though we face challenges listen to words in my music, wear an outfit that reminds them of there value, read my material that inspires them to find peace of mind and be reminded of their value in life when going through difficulties.
I have shared before that I am an idea creator that means break free from selling time for money and seek ways to break the stale mate of employment and understand deployment.
We are heading into the future and need to evolve like we did from bushman way of living and how is it that animals do not pay rent.
As much as Elon Musk to be continued.

Is most of the jobs found and searched fall under which major category. Since my strength is not design. I am a natural founder, teacher and yeah I am able to creat designs, I just hate having to sit behind the computer all day and having to be told that the colours are wrong or edit this and change that. I am not a huge fan of deadlines and perform under pressure. That's not me. I rather team up with individuals that can thrive in an environment like that of Steve Jobs or whats that guy's name that built Blender however is stepping down. I am a provider in the realm of make believe where one can actually live out their imagination and build their dreams by being guided and mentored correctly so when the individual is ready to launch out in the wide open world they are ready for anything.
Where do I start?

Let us shake the apple tree. Since everyone likes to share their skills. For some reason I find everyone is limited to their cnr. of their existence behind a computer. What is life's biggest needs and concerns is the amount of applicates seeking a job through LinkedIn. We have not conquered the need for people to earn a living and my take on that is everyone is just concerned about their own little corner that we have not had bigger breakthroughs in today's modern society. It is only one or two individuals in a every decade that something great happens because everyone else is sleeping or is over burden by trying to make a living. Why are we still using resumes is my question.

There is more to life for example we are spiritually intertwined with human expression. Your spirit is more real than your physical existence.
One of my works explores, while let me put it this way most of my work and purpose is to get people to see the realm that is invisible has more influence on us than we care to imagine.
I draw inspiration from seeing the unknown, the mystery where things are created out from nothing.

One question I have right here every one is in creating stuff so they can be paid for their services - have you ever asked yourself how limiting one can be if you just happen to be one person behind your laptop how that looks to you or lacking a growth mindset.
Ask yourself one question is there not more to life than just sitting behind your computer all day what happen to interactive real time where you share your knowledge, because your purpose is what brought you here not the job you do which has only one thing in mind and that is to pay your bills.
Is there not more to life than just going form one pay check to the next. Where is the big picture in your life?

We have the possibility to generate 21 million South African’s between now and 2030 who are seeking to build online businesses however none of us is able to because firstly the dollar and now one is teaching us how to start and what is required. Ladies and gentleman we have a huge need for people who can invest in our economy right now. So that is the very reason I am seeking to build an institution here in South Africa to get men and women who are ready and willing to help us grow this number of people for the future. I have been accepted into the program with FIO CAPITAL now need to start hiring from next year onwards for these roles: in music, film, industrial design, fashion design that is for starters I already have the documents in place.
I would love to hear from you.

Hi everyone I am Darryl from South Africa. I live to create space where folks can unwind with sound or should we call it with music that shapes, our lives, from entertainment like movies or youtube depending on your cup of tea. I mainly deal with AI and the magic we can create with and form new relationships and build a different future. I am fascinated by different languages which I mainly work with which is German, English, Xhosa and Zulu. I work with all types of genres of music from alternative, folk, gothic, nu-metal, classical, cinematic, jazz, hip-hop etc.
However my main interest is alternative rock and experiment with different kinds of blends and fusion from everything Chinese instruments to Swiss Alpine horn.
