    Hey guys. I need your help! If you could like, share or comment on the video that would really helo. I accidentally uploaded it yesterday and then rescheduled it for today. I should have reuploaded it. So, UA-cam thinks it sucks because it was posted a day ago and only has 100 views. So, I need to get this one back on track. Devon's story is incredible, we just need the video to get pushed. Thx! Tom

    devon has such an inspiring story, it was incredible to hear from him. i think what i love most about tom’s interview style is that he is just so authentic, kind, and engaged with each person he speaks to. THIS is why so many people come on this show and talk to him. awesome episode

    Very interesting interview! Devon's story about having panic attacks about having his name out there and not wanting to show himself and only show the art was moving. You can tell his heart is truly in it for the art.

    • @thetomwardshow

    Hey Tom!! I subscribed because of H3 and truly thought your story was very motivated(and of course wanted to help out the family). Honestly it was just today I decided to fully sit down and listen and thumbs up one of your interviews to help get your channel out there. But the first five minutes really grabbed me spiritually and emotionally. Thank you for having this artist on and letting him tell his honest story to his own success, no matter how dark or “unpopular” it is. Thanks for motivating me today to keep going and look for my passion in life. You keep it real. Your kids are learning the most valuable life lessons of love and loyalty to yourself from you, and I’m sure from your wife too:) thanks Tom. And PLEASEEEE interview Katya Zamolodchikova the drag queen!!! Brian McCook. I know they have had the most insane rise to success through honesty and emotion and I’m sure you guys would hit it off. Please!! Would love to see her and you and learn so much more about how to be true to yourself. Sending Love♡ success is a personal story:)

    • @oliviapalmer8042

    Wow, this interview with Tom Ward and Devon DeJardin is truly insightful! 🎙 I was eager to learn more about Devon's expertise in art and how he got to where he is and how it relates to personal and business growth. The conversation touched on so many key points, and I appreciate the in-depth insights they shared.
    If you're looking to understand devon as an artist or how he arrived at this destination, this video is a must-watch. Tom and Devon really break down success when you arent sure where to go and struggling with society telling you who you should be and what you should be doing. I think Tom is a great representation of chasing your dreams and not giving up.

I should have deleted and reuploaded it. Now, the algo hates the video because they see a video that's been up for 24 hours that has like no views. so, no one got a notfication.

    Not gonna lie this was my favorite Tom ward interview so far. You're definitely going goblin mode because I don't think you asked one generic question. They were all fresh and allowed the artist to show who they are. good work Tom!

    Those are beautiful paintings. He’s got a great mindset. I don’t know if people have to be delusional to be wildly successful. They probably need a good combination of drive, talent, connections, optimism, and being in the right place at the right time. I kind of think that sounds daunting, but maybe persistence and an open mind help people find an opportunity when they least expect it.
    I could learn a lot from a person like this. It’s good to hear someone who had a great story and really developed a skill out of some serendipitous turns of events. I think religious history is one of the more thought provoking subjects, and it’s cool to hear that this guy connected with someone else over that.

    • @thetomwardshow
      @thetomwardshow  Рік тому

      He's an incredible artist. And I think we're saying the same thing. When I say you have to be delusional, I more meant that you have to be delusional to everyone else. You believe in going in a different kind of direction and maybe you never even tried it before and you definitely don't have any evidence that people will even like it. But you're right. It's just having that inner belief that of course it will work. How could it not? Everyone I've interviewed has had that one thing in common.

      Haha. Me tooi! I actually like learning the nuts and bolts of it too. Where do their ideas come from. Do they put them in a notebook, their phone, etc. Where do they get inspiration from etc,

    good choice of interviewee -- interesting background story although he was a bit shy but the journey was very interesting to hear. hope you guys stay in touch so we can have occasional (or more) updates on his art. also wish you'd shown the second painting, i love the colours in it. 💙

    • @thetomwardshow
      @thetomwardshow  Рік тому

      There were some paintings that we couldn't show. I'lll tell you what though, if you saw everything your head would explode! Amazing stuff.

    The point about talking about privacy on a public podcast (and on social media in general) was super interesting. Privacy is so abstract these days.

    • @thetomwardshow
      @thetomwardshow  Рік тому

      I found that most interesting part. In an age we’re we’re told that we have to be posting a million times a day to be successful it’s nice to see someone who is successful without doing it

    This interview was so amazing - to see such humility, grace and wisdom in such a young man was fascinating. As I previously told you, I suffer from very resistant depression and anxiety and I found myself envious of this artist’s ability to find peace through something he loves so much. It’s like he is his art and his art is him. I hope one day to be able to see his work because just glancing at the backdrop in this story gave me peace and comfort. I wish him the very best the world has to offer bc he represents something we should all strive to be and to do. Thank you for introducing us to him and his work. Can you please let us know when his work will be on exhibit in NY? I’m sure I could never afford to be a part of it but I would love to just be there to support him and possibly catch a glimpse of the beauty he brings to this world.

      Yeah, we couldn't show a lot because they were unfinished pieces but I'm sure if you googled his art a bunch of stuff would pop up. And check out his IG.
