Are you being shaped by outside forces…or forging your own path? In this candid Mixed Media episode of The Rhythm of the Road Podcast, Jeremy and Nell explore how external influences, from family to fear, from media to memories, shape our creative lives, personal choices, and entrepreneurial decisions.

These subtle and not-so-subtle forces shape how we think, feel, and act. From digital distractions to supportive (or critical) voices in our circles, we get into how these inputs can either spark creativity or cloud clarity. Whether it's social media static, shifting friendships, or impactful travel, this episode challenges you to take your power back and create influence from the inside out.

Enjoy this episode and the rest of Mixed Media Series on the "5's" here on The Rhythm of the Road Podcast!
