We had the good fortune of connecting with Johnathan Tidwell and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Johnathan, is there a quote or affirmation that’s meaningful to you?
“This is the real secret of life — to be completely engaged with what you are doing in the here and now. And instead of calling it work, realize it is play.”
― Alan Watts

this quotes so profound to me becuase it speaks volumes when it comes to finding your purpose and fulfilling a meaningful mission. If your un aware of alan watts go check out some of his lectures on youtube!

every step of becoming a self employed creative has been a challenge but one i will wake up to everyday because its a defining part of my mission to show anyone watching mainly the kids and the younger generations that being for fit and taking a general known route in life may not be the way theyll achieve their goals and that its okay to take an alternative route if your pursuing a route that is fulfilling and wholesome. Be yourself unapologetically!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
id plan to spend the week in the appalachian mountains maybe rent a cabin in the mountains likely in NC. we’d mainly plan outdoor exploration activities and spend a good bit of time shopping and eating and just exploring around im a simple guy i dont care what we do if your someone i enjoy being around
