Create With Me
I am currently open to in-person, video, radio, and podcast interviews about creativity, self-help, happiness, product development, entrepreneurship, online marketing, writing, travel, metaphysics, plant-medicine, and plenty of other risky subjects.
Heath Armstrong in 3.33 minutes
This is me in 3rd grade when I snuck my Weiner dog, Dexter, into my class for “show-n-tell” via my backpack without my parents knowing. As soon as he got out of the backpack, he pooped all over the classroom floor, causing a chain reaction of children to vomit. That's how I learned that mystery can be surprisingly exciting.
Face-Down-Pants-Down
This is me smoking a pipe at 7:45 am after walking around my neighborhood in a robe, drinking scotch, wondering how I ended up in mass debt—working a factory job that made me miserable (concrete construction)—to make money I thought I needed— so I could buy things I didn't need—to impress people I certainly didn't like. I was about 24 years old.
A few months later, I would wake up face-down-pants-down on my garage floor, car parked in the middle of the front yard (engine running), with dried blood all over my face from a nose bleed, and an empty bottle of whiskey near my hand. I had no recollection of the previous 24 hours.
Gold Teeth Heath
I knew if I didn't change my ways, I would suffer and die. I didn't know how to change though. I continued to honor my belligerence while attempting to create a gangster rap career for the next three years. I went by “Gold Teeth Heath.”
It didn't quite work out, but other cool things did.
Create or Die
On Feb 13, 2014, I hit my breaking point. I was dying from being addicted to a bunch of substances to numb myself of my reality— a reality in which I wasn't exploring my highest curiosity, health, and creativity. I was ready to make changes for good in an attempt to save my life.
With the help of a few magical strangers, I started interviewing 100+ creative entrepreneurs around the world, and it scared the shit out of me. It was called the Artsy Now project.
I studied the overlapping habits and practices among their success, and I implemented them into my life. I began to feel mass changes within my mindset, health, and energy.
I then put all of the habits and practices into a journaling system called The Sweet-Ass Journal to Develop Your Happiness Muscle in 100 Days and I shared the system with the world.
Face-Up-Pants-Up
After I started interviewing people, things got weird. I:
- Paid off all my debt
- Failed to start several businesses
- Freaked out and sold everything I owned
- Sold one item online and got madly inspired
- Quit my job and moved across the country
- Turned that one item into $1k rev, then $10k, then $100k, then $1mil+
- Lost my business, grandfather, and dog on the same day
- Had complete melt-down and considered drinking heavily
- Started seeking answers through travel and mystery instead
- Created the first Sweet-Ass Affirmations Deck
- Started the Never Stop Peaking Podcast
- and created other new businesses, like Rage Create, FbaLeadList, and Seller Spaceship
The only thing I know is that I know nothing.
