In this episode of Soul Cync, I’m joined by the amazing Frank Have Mercy for a conversation that will challenge everything you thought you knew about creativity and discipline. We dive into the idea that creativity isn’t just about free-spirited moments of inspiration — it’s also about structure and routine. We unpack how having disciplined habits and daily rituals can actually set the stage for more innovative and impactful art.

Frank, with his military background, shares how routine has shaped not just his life but his artistic process, offering insights into how discipline has helped him channel his creative energy into his music, clothing brand and more.

This episode is all about redefining what it means to be an artist, showing how consistency and focus can lead to some of your best work. So if you’re ready to get inspired and rethink the way you approach your own creative process, grab a seat and let’s dive in. Thanks for tuning in, and let’s Cync!
