GRAND RISING, CREATORS KEY 🔑 Happy Saturday, everyone. We made it to another weekend and another week is almost officially in the books. Quote of the day: "Always have faith." - LJ Yesterday, I finally released a music video that taught me a lot, not only about video, but about faith, risk, patience, and the reality of the creative industry. I’ll be completely transparent because this is a private community. I flew out to Los Angeles for the opportunity to work with an artist named Bear. I spent a lot of my own money, took a major risk, and honestly walked away without making anything financially. From that perspective, you could easily call it an L. We first shot something quick and run-and-gun at his place. A couple of days later, we created the full music video that I released yesterday. Bear was a genuinely cool person. He played unreleased music for us, trusted the creative process, and showed love to the finished video. He even posted a snippet. However, while we were trying to coordinate the official rollout, communication suddenly stopped. After doing some research, I learned that he had been arrested. I do not know the details, and I am not here to speculate or share anything that is not my business. I just know that he seemed to be going through a difficult period when I met him. I prayed with him then, and I continue to pray that he finds freedom, both literally and spiritually. Eventually, I decided I could not continue waiting for the perfect rollout. I wanted the video to finally see the light of day. So I released it through my own platforms, knowing that my audience is only a small fraction of the audience it may have reached through the artist’s channels. The numbers have not been crazy. Around 200 views on Instagram, a few likes on YouTube, and roughly 30 YouTube views so far. Definitely not the result you imagine when you invest that much time, energy, money, and emotion into a project. But numbers do not always tell the full story.

Grand rising, everyone. Happy Friday! I hope you’re all having a phenomenal and blessed start to your day. This morning, after my prayer, I was listening to another prayer on YouTube when I heard the phrase: “Posture over volume.” That really spoke to me. God isn’t only looking at the quantity of times we pray or how many words we say. He’s looking at the posture of our hearts. He’s listening for the prayer that comes deeply from the heart and soul. Sometimes, that posture is also physical, raising your hands, placing your palms together, bowing your head, or getting down on your knees. It’s about showing God that you are truly present. And I believe that message applies to so many other areas of life. I’m a huge advocate for consistency. Keep showing up. Keep working. Keep praying. Keep moving toward the person you are called to become. But when you show up, make sure you’re doing it with the right posture. Be intentional. Be present. Give your heart to what you’re doing. Because showing up repeatedly is powerful, but how you show up matters just as much. So, whether you’re working, resting, creating, spending time with family, or praying this weekend, remember: Posture over volume. Show up consistently—but when you do, truly be there. 🙏🏽 Today’s To-Do List: - Shoot a real estate video with my guy Omar - Attend a business meeting - Edit a reel for a client - Send an invoice to a client - Create a promotional reel for the release of my new music video project with Bear1Boss, dropping on my YouTube channel @ 3 Let’s finish the week strong and move into the weekend with gratitude, intention, and good posture. Have a phenomenal Friday, everyone! 🔑

Grand rising, everyone! Happy Thursday 🙏🏽 I hope everyone is having a phenomenal day today. We’re right in the middle of summer, it’s a beautiful day, and goodness gracious, I’m feeling blessed. Today’s schedule got shifted around a little bit because I’m heading to Firestone to get my car looked at. It’s a newer car with a newer battery, and AutoZone said the battery health looks good, but it keeps dying—so hopefully I can finally get to the bottom of it. After that, I’m heading out to shoot a real estate video with my guy Omar. Today’s to-do list: • Drop my new video breaking down how I recreated the shockwave effect from a FIFA commercial • Get the car checked out • Shoot a real estate video • Post two reels for two clients • Promote a music video dropping tomorrow A busy day, but we’re keeping the faith high, staying positive, and getting it done. Hope everyone has a blessed and productive Thursday! 🔑

"The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt Good morning, and happy Tuesday, Creator's Key. It is a cloudy morning here in West Hartford, and it looks like we have a rainy day ahead of us. This quote spoke to me today because I truly do believe in the beauty of my dreams... both the big dreams and goals I consciously have for my life and the subconscious dreams we experience while we sleep. I believe both can play a role in our future, directly and indirectly. To me, believing in the beauty of your dreams means having faith that they are there for a reason. The vision you have of where you want to go and who you want to become gives you direction. It allows you to zoom out, see the bigger picture and understand the actions you need to take right now. I would even add to Eleanor Roosevelt’s quote: The future *and the present* belong to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams. Having massive goals and a wide perspective on your life is important, but so is being able to switch lenses. Sometimes you need the wide-angle lens to see the full journey, understand your purpose and remember where you are going. Other times, you need that tight telephoto lens, locked in and focused entirely on the present moment and the task directly in front of you. We should be ambitious. We should have faith. We should believe in the future we are creating. But we also cannot become so focused on the destination that we forget to appreciate and take action in the present. Even our subconscious dreams can carry meaning. Some dreams are beautiful and make us never want to wake up. Others may be nightmares that force us to confront fear. Either way, I believe there can be something deeper within them. Fear is the mind-killer. Sometimes fear enters our minds so we can learn how to overcome it. Sometimes a beautiful dream gives us a glimpse of what is possible and motivates us to work harder once we wake up. God has each of us here for a purpose, a bigger purpose.

"It’s kind of fun to do the impossible." - Walt Disney Great, beautiful Monday morning to you all! On my walk this morning, after saying my daily prayer I started thinking about everything I need to get done. For a moment, that slight feeling of overwhelm started to creep in, but I caught myself. I’m always telling other people not to stress and to zoom out in life, so I had to give myself that same reminder. I told myself, “Wait... You get to do all of these things. You get to take all of these actions. So do it with a smile on your face, Liam.” Honestly, it felt like God was speaking directly to me on that walk. What we’re working toward might not literally be impossible, but sometimes it can certainly feel that way. That’s why keeping a positive attitude, believing in God, and learning to enjoy the process are so important. Have fun doing the things you need to do and the things you get to do. At the same time, prioritize your health, protect your energy, and do not burn yourself out trying to reach the destination. Today, I’m choosing to have fun doing the impossible. Today I will: - Complete client work and post two reels for two separate clients - Follow up with another client - Record a breakdown of a visualizer I created - Announce that the music video I directed with Bear1Boss is dropping Friday - Look into getting my car battery replaced or having my car checked out What are you getting done today?
