Artist Victor Herrera, also known to many as Victor H., paints street-styled art on various mediums such canvas, wood and clothing. He describes his work as whimsical and slightly unnerving—think of much of it as illustrated characters with a spin. It’s also clear that his days painting graffiti on the streets as a kid carried over to his work today. His work can be found in the homes of collectors, on limited edition runs of apparel, and has even made a few appearances at celebrity events.
Victor doesn’t have a formal education in art. In fact, he was working a technical job prior to working full-time as an artist. He’s also color blind. All of this is part of Victor’s story—how he came into his own as an artist, and continues to grow. This conversation is all about discovering what you love, testing the waters and pursuing a new career. Victor is humble and real, giving this conversation weight and meaning.

Michael Paul Ziegfeld is an actor, producer and author. But these titles don’t completely reflect Michael’s expansive work and experiences. His variety of opportunities has in fact added to his perspective. Michael has a brilliant way of looking at life and has realized that success is not always what we think it is. Even though he’s been successful with movies, television and the stage, he has a story that tells how he became fed up with his reality and his decision to retire from the entertainment industry. Writing a book about his past triggered him to see life in a different way, which he now uses in panel discussions to help others.
Michael shares his journey in the entertainment world, but also his unfolding story of moving forward with intention and purpose.

Musician Janet Robin joins Christopher, for an in-depth interview and a live performance. Janet is a singer and songwriter, but most notably an amazing guitarist. She’s been a successful solo artist for many years and more recently founded The String Revolution. As a child she was taught by the famous heavy metal guitarist Randy Rhoads.

You'll also hear behind-the-scenes details, and a discussion of starting out and surviving as a musician.
Not a musician? Much of the advice shared can be applied to any dream or career.
