Break On Through

Gutsy isn’t about being reckless with yourself or with others. Gutsy is about defining your OWN version of success and gaining the confidence and courage to go after what YOU want rather than pursuing what OTHERS expect you to want.

How Gutsy Are You?

Are you the type who tries not to make waves or are you brave enough to choose your own adventure?

What Game Are You Playing?

From the moment we are born, others’ expectations shape our behaviors, choices, and definitions of success. We build our personal and professional lives around those expectations and at some point, many of us wonder if we are on the right path. We may want to make changes, but it’s difficult and we don’t know how to start.

Life is a game, and it is up to each individual to determine just what kind of game they want to play. Robin Moriarty guides readers through a process that shows them how to assess their current state and outlines the steps they need to take in order to achieve their new game and own version of success.

Be the Right Kind of Support: Inspiration from Khalil Gibran

by Robin Moriarty | Oct 14, 2019

At one point in her life, my sister found “The Prophet” by Khalil Gibran and started reading it. She shared with me some of the insights, which were profound, so I bought a copy. Since then, I have probably gifted this book to more than 20 people! What do I like...

Drawing Inspiration from Ai Wei Wei

by Robin Moriarty | Oct 7, 2019

When I was living in Hong Kong, I was introduced to the work of Ai Wei Wei, an artist, political activist and general rabble rouser who pushes back against authority and the status quo.

He’s from China, where pushing back against authority is not generally encouraged and while I was in Hong Kong, there were campaigns in support of him as he had been detained by the government. Since then, he has done many exhibits around the world that deal with controversial topics including mass migrations, deaths from earthquakes, labor issues, and more. I was fortunate enough to see one of his expositions in Buenos Aires where he highlighted issues of corruption and problems that arise when governments aren’t responsive to the people.

Why do I feel inspired by him?

He is definitely a controversial figure but I am inspired by, and admire, his willingness to speak up, reach out, and shine a light on topics that others are afraid to touch. I’m impressed by his ability to create visual and visceral impacts about the topics he chooses to highlight.

One of my favorite examples of this is his display of 14,000 life jackets collected from refugees who had landed in Lesbos. He had them wrapped around columns of the Konzerthaus in Berlin so that people could really see and personalize the issue.
