Hi, I'm Michael Lardizabal (flows kinda like "Water Bottle"). 🌊
Full-time voice and guitar teacher forced to start over after a jaw/ear condition changed everything.
7 years of growth, learning new creative skills, and rebuilding, and now I'm an artist multi-passionate creative, and a coach looking to find the intersection between my interests and my audience's wants.
I'm currently working on integrating the following:
Consistent Authentic Content (starting Soul Gym)
Marketing Research Interviews
Gentle Offers (1 art series offer and 1 coaching offer a month)
Things I've spent a lot of time interested in that I can pull from to test content and offers:
Creativity - what it is, how it works, how can people develop it
Finally finishing creative projects. Becoming a creative finisher.
Developing creative mastery.
Balancing multiple creative skills - how to learn fast and "be pretty dang good at everything"
Expressive vs. Functional creativity. What predictable paths are there for purely expressive creatives to follow, and can I make them easier and more accessible?
Building your own schedule/routine/calendar system from the ground-up that works for Neurodivergent and Multi-passionate minds.
Mindset and toolsets for ambitious dreamers - creatives, entrepreneurs, and non-profit leaders
How to think like a CEO to consistently find your next steps in life or business.
Side-hustles as ways for people to step into business and build more autonomy in their life.
Rebuilding your life after a medical condition turns your life and career upside down.
Fiction Writing/Storytelling Structures.
Music - more digital music composition and production that I can do from home.
Animation, Videography, and Video Games as tools to inspire dreamers to become doers in positive, non-destructive ways.
Thanks for reading a little about me! Definitely open to connecting more.
Send me an email or a DM and let me know you came from here, and let's talk!

George Kao's Focusmate Group Yes, everything in business is spirit-based, but don’t use that as an excuse to not be organized. 😄
Any important area of life has many (perhaps, unlimited) layers of understanding and application. This is certainly true with Joyful Productivity. Each time you return to one of the lessons, consider these 4 steps: Choose one concept, tool, or exercise from the Lesson that you're most interested to apply right now. All other ideas, put on the "back burner" for future consideration. It'll always be available to you to revisit. Choosing to apply one idea at a time will make your real-life learning more sustainable. Experiment as you apply it into your life or business. This means you're open to making "mistakes" as you try implementing the idea. Reflect on your real-life learning and implementation: add a comment underneath that particular lesson. Share your experience with the class. Ask any questions. Netcare by reading a few other comments and replying underneath them. Perhaps even reach out privately to someone to appreciate their reflection. By using these 4 steps again and again, you will spiral deeper (or higher) into your skillfulness with Joyful Productivity 👏🏽
Having started with the Spiral Learning mindset in the Authentic Business Planning course, I really feel at ease to go through the course and let what I need now to stand out to me, start using it, and then add more in later. <3

Great idea! Very useful!
Me 10 years ago couldn't finish a creative project to save my life unless I did it with other people. I got really skillful at individual things, but I was too scared to actually finish projects.
Now, I finish projects all the time in multiple disciplines, and am actually recognized a lot for that by my friends and colleagues. I worked at it consisitently with my own creativity, but I also sought out jobs that would force me to be creavite and finish projects.
