<p>We welcome Ruben Rojas, a Los Angeles–based artist, muralist, and the visionary founder of the Live Through Love movement. From transforming public spaces with large-scale installations to building a multi-seven-figure creative business, Ruben has bridged the gap between fine art and global commercial platforms like BMW and the NFL.</p><p>In this powerful conversation, Seb and Ruben dive deep into the radical transformation of a man who walked away from a career in finance to impact a billion people through creativity. They explore the collapse of the &quot;American Dream&quot; during the 2008 financial crisis, the toxicity of the &quot;starving artist&quot; narrative, and how to maintain mental resilience when your self-worth is no longer tied to material success. This episode is a masterclass on viewing creativity as a discipline and choosing love as a leadership tool in an increasingly divisive world.</p><p><br></p><p><strong>Topics Discussed:</strong></p><ul><li>The Finance Exit</li><li>The 2008 Subprime Meltdown</li><li>Redefining the American Dream</li><li>Killing the &quot;Starving Artist&quot; Myth</li><li>Abundance vs. Scarcity</li><li>Scaling Creativity</li><li>Global Brand Collaborations</li><li>Healing through Art</li><li>The Mission for Impact</li><li>Love as a Discipline</li><li>The Trapped Artist</li></ul><p><br></p><p>Connect with Ruben on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/rubenrojas/"><u>Instagram</u></a> or <a href="http://rubenrojas.com"><u>rubenrojas.com</u></a></p><p>Connect with Live Through Love on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/livethroughlovestudio/"><u>Instagram</u></a></p><p>Connect with <a href="https://www.instagram.com/sebnaum/"><u>Sebastian on Instagram</u></a></p><p><a href="https://sebastiannaum.com/"><u>SebastianNaum.com</u></a><br></p>
