Hello, I've been hanging out with Scott online on and off for quite a few years now, enjoying interesting conversations and difficult questions.
I'm a freelance informational illustrator and observational comics artist and non-fiction graphic novelist. I like making complicated stuff easier to understand, visually, especially when that supports good work being done.
Haven't got to grips with substack at all, except to read other people's stuff, but if you click on my face you can find my website.
What a lovely introduction, Michi. I so appreciate our long-time connection, friendship, and the valuable contributions you make to the Creative on Purpose community calls, oh, and I LOVE your illustrations!
I enjoy reading books and love the classics. The writer Joseph Campbell was introduced to me by a world religion teacher at the college I attended for art. I work two jobs, one as an artist and potter, and the other in manufacturing making paper towels. For me, I try to tell stories and build community with what I create. I strive to use gratitude, empathy, and generosity to make work that matters for people who care.
I love reading this page because Scott is a Stoic and I enjoy philosophy and thinking about the lives we live. Because of Scott, I read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, that I had sitting on my shelf for a long time but never got to. Currently, I am getting ready to rebuild a wood kiln at my studio that was given to me and I have to make work for a few shows next month in between the 12-hour rotating shifts at the big paper factory. I try to make the best of each day. I try to keep a humors and positive attitude. I also know I have very little time here above the ground, so I try to enjoy as much of life that as I can.
"The one thing you can't take away from me is the way I choose to respond to what you do to me. The last of one's freedoms is to choose one's attitude in any given circumstance. Happiness cannot be pursued; it must ensue. Life is never made unbearable by circumstances, but only by lack of meaning and purpose." -Victor Frankel, "Man's Search For Meaning."
I write The Pottery Dailies along with my Creek Road Pottery Newsletter.
Hello! That is an excellent quote from Viktor Frankl in that no matter what we go through, we still have choice in how we react and it is possible to find meaning. I incorporate existential theory in my therapy practice along with other theories such as cognitive behavioral therapy. Nice to meet you.
I discovered Victor Frankel while reading a book by Donald Miller of Story Brand. It was during the year of the pandemic and it changed my life. After I ordered the book my wife mentioned she had it on her shelf already as it was part of her recommended reading for a class she took at university. I still need to read his work on Logo Therapy, but have read Man's Search For Meaning a few times now. If you have any great books on the topics you mentioned feel free to let me know. I studied a bit of Behavioral science on the criminal justice side of things and was taken by a buddy to a presentation by the late criminal profiler Roy Hazelwood. My buddy Richard drags me into all types of things...last time it was Ancient Near Eastern Texts. But he forgets I need to make pots in between research and reading.
I was introduced to Man’s Search for Meaning in the 7th grade, along with Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, The Bhagavad Gita, and Somerset Maugham’s The Razor’s Edge. These books changed my life and continue to inform and inspire who I am, what I do, and how I do it!
resonates with a strong sense of authenticity. Thank you for being yourself. There's something incredibly heartwarming about witnessing sincerity, even in a casual text message between strangers. Thanks again and have a marvellous day!
There was this oak tree that stood at the corner of our driveway when I was a kid that I was a little in love with. To this day, if I dream of a tree, or of living in a tree, or of opening a door in the side of a tree revealing a hidden world, it’s that tree.
One time, with my back on the ground at the foot of this tree, I laid my right hand out and imagined a narrow beam of energy moving thru it and out across the world. How long before that energy might wrap around The Earth and return into my left hand stretched out and waiting? It took some time. But it did return. And for a few moments I held this ribbon of energy in both hands as it spanned the globe. And then I let it go.
☝️this is the first time I ever told any human that story. But it’s the best way to describe what the experience of making something artful and deep and interconnecting feels like for me.
Thanks for the space you make in the world, Scott, for interconnection and idea grappling. Our conversations awaken many thoughts and I find they have purpose in my work going forward.
OMG, I freakin’ LOVE this story, Kato. Thank you for sharing it and for how you show up in the world in general and for the Creative on Purpose community specifically. Your participation and contributions enhance ALL of our experience.
The memory you just shared touches me in so many ways.
I’ve viewed trees as my elders and most treasured confidants since I was a young child. To me, it’s all about energy. Life is energy, energy is life, and we are both!
I know that freezing fear of sharing your "sacred treasures"—the kind that stops you cold. But jumping into that vulnerable state anyway is more than just courageous; it is something truly magical.
Hi! My name is Julie B. Hughes and I love encouraging others to move and write. I lead the Run to Write Club— Where movement and writing meet. :) It's been a great combination and I hope to uplift my community. Thank you Scott for allowing me to share here. You're doing amazing work!
Hey everybody, it looks like this thread requires a little bit of personal sharing :-) my name is Elizabeth Walker, Podcaster and event producer. Scott is a longtime family friend. My aunt and uncle referred me to him when I was selling Cutco knives. I can’t believe he remembers that experience, but I guess how could you forget a stranger who comes into your living room and sabotage is your home for an hour and a half!
Fast-forward to 2023, I am now 40 years old and starting my own business. This past February I secured my first event contract, and began brainstorming around who I could turn to to bounce ideas off of for marketing. Scott Perry was the first name that came to mind!
I didn’t actually know that there was this much support and community but how could I expect anything less?❤️💜💚💛
I don’t publish a lot of writing like all of you fancy people here :-) :-) :-) 😎. But if you will entertain my likes and hearts and short comments, I appreciate the opportunity to read your work and let me learn from you all!
I love this reflection, Elizabeth. It has been so great to reconnect with you recently and witness the even more amazing human you’ve become since that young amazing human came in and sold us a set of knives that we didn’t need but decided we must have after meeting you!
It is a privilege to have you as a part of our community and we all agree that our group is enhanced by your participation and generous contributions. Thank you!
Elizabeth, thank you so much for telling me about Scott and this community!! You are great at encouraging people and linking them with resources. Your writing and creativity is excellent as well! I was just watching one of your recent YouTube videos and I was thinking about how proficient you are with producing and how great your links look as well as the content. You and your business are growing every day and I know you are and will continue to make a difference in this world.
I have been working with Scott for 3 years and have grown in ability to define and communicate the work I want to do with the change I want to make. The group that shows up with Scott to share and support each other is helpful and fun.
I am the founder of Renewable Philanthropy and designer of Mission Centered Fundraising system. I want to work with fundraisers, CEOs, consultants in nonprofit to change fundraising from a focus on money to having money be the bridge from the community needs and the organizations serving missions that make communities stronger and better places to live. Money is the tool. It is people who are generous and give to serve their community and the mission.and become partners with the organization.
It is a big change and Scott guides me and encourages me.
I appreciate these kind words and thoughtful reflections, Penny. I am grateful for our friendship and working partnership. I am inspired by your commitment to the difference you make and the way you always lean in with curiosity, courage, and consideration. Thanks for this introduction and your long participation and many contributions to our community!
I love sci fi and fantasy books, movies and shows. The Dragon Reborn (WOT-3) by Robert Jordan is on my nightstand, presently. I also enjoy watching medical shows and am thoroughly enjoying House MD at the moment. I'm a musician and a writer as well and love to create in various forms. I'm also a therapist who is now studying business coaching. My heart is to help other therapists build businesses they love with the addition of creativity and good business boundaries. I studied compassion fatigue in my dissertation and I want to share what I learned to help therapist and other helpers manage this.
Appreciate this generous introduction and the difference you make, Brie-Anna. Be sure to share a link to your Substack publication here when you launch!
Hey hey Brie! One of my fave of all time for SciFi is the Battlestar Galactica reboot. Boy, do I miss that show. What instrument(s) do you play? I play ukulele, bongos, guitar and a little penny whistle and other woodwinds. But I sing better than I play any of those. I enjoy how a little competence on an instrument can bring a group together as long as someone knows the words to the song.
Battlestar Galactica was an amazing show! We are going to watch that again shortly. (We have all our shows for the year mapped out. Lol!) That's awesome that you play so many instruments and sing too! I have trouble reading music and play by ear I think from my neurodiversity. I can read cords and tabs however and translate those for my keyboard. So through that, I play guitar and bass, keyboard, a little mandolin (totally rusty though) and I sing too. That is true that jamming is awesome with newbie musicians to prolific.
I coordinate a public media network that uplifts the most powerfully-activating stories and lived expertise shared by survivors of hardship and disablement — along with those who create resources most crucially helpful to them.
I stumbled onto @ascottperry's work in the midst of seeking out resonant energies. I was looking for collaborations where living beings could really recognize and care about one another. This, it turns out, is not something to be found just anywhere. But on his Creative On Purpose platform, Scott builds in some of the best, most key elements — abundantly.
Not many business platforms have approaches that can be effectively bridged to communities as severely affected as the ones in our worldwide Intuitive Network. But we find ourselves repeatedly sharing points that Scott is teaching. He anchors a great deal of clarity, structurally-steadying, in his approaches. He highlights humanness; and a true respect for life energy, relationship, and creativity.
The thing I love most about what I do is in connecting with people whose powers are expanding from the core of their deepest self — self-awareness, intention, vitality, and purpose.
This energy is regenerative. It can facilitate amazing recoveries from even the worst injuries. It brings people back from devastation and abandonment.
When people do what most moves them, they are stronger and more resilient.
The things we build together grow deep roots and last much longer.
We feed generations by doing our best work with one another.
I'm so delighted with the ways that me-doing-what-I-love-most is fed by my interactions with Scott's community offerings and the people who tend to gather around him.
If you want to find me and dialogue more about the value we've found in what Scott is building (because wow, it is an ongoing Intuitive community subject!), I'd love to expound further on the benefits we're accruing from having encountered his work. We're publishing here on Substack at https://www.intuitivepublicradio.network.
Thank YOU, Megan. What a beautiful introduction and you are always so generous in sharing kind reflections and perspective about my work. It is deeply appreciated as is the profound difference you make in the work that you do. I am inspired by the way you show up and deliver so thoughtfully and abundantly on Substack and beyond. Keep up the great work!
I love this! I love your philosophy Scott, about making a bigger difference. My Substack Dose of Wonder ( caitlinmccoll.substack.com )iis a soft, grounded sanctuary for weary mid‑life humans who are tired of hustle and toxic positivity, and want simple, soulful ways to find everyday wonder—even in the middle of feeling untethered.
Have you have ever stood at a threshold in the dark and wished someone would stop handing you maps and simply held up a lantern instead?

Paid subscribers receive the full lantern, an original recipe to try out, a monthly philosophical science fiction serial, early access to writings still finding their way into the world, and the FULL Virtual Hermit experience. thevirtualhermit.substack.com
Love the imagery, Rev. Rabbi Henry-Cameron. It's the exact one I used for the cover of my latest book. Thanks for the generous introduction. It's great to have you with us!
Hello everyone! I am a solopreneur working in the communications and coaching space, and I am currently building my own course on Substack. I am a huge believer that authenticity naturally attracts the right people, so finding Scott and a space like this that values integrity over standard marketing funnels felt like an immediate fit. Glad to be here with you all!
Welcome, Erin. I am THRILLED to have you join us in the Inner Circle. I encourage ALL Circle and Inner Circle members to check out Erin’s work. She is making a difference worth spreading, for sure!
Hello! I am a composer and music teacher. I help people create their own music by building their ears and their musical imaginations. I light up most when a student GETS IT: they recognize something they hadn’t before or they find themselves more capable of creating music than they had thought!
I teach college music majors ear training and composition and help older people with the same stuff, except less formally.
I’m looking for help growing my online offerings and found you through your connection to Seth Godin.
Hey guys, I’m Judith and a Junkie turned Journalist 💪🏼 I have been a writer for the last 20 years but have shifted from fashion and travel journalism to mental health while being on my personal healing journey from trauma and the resulting drug addiction, alcoholism and eating disorders. On Substack I write about my personal experiences and about how I healed through Transformative Travel around the world, psychology, nervous system work, and decades of therapy 🤪😃💪🏼 I hope to reach those who are on their own recovery journey, who need a little hope and some hands on advice on how to get through the day when things get tough.
Thrilled that your here and deep appreciation for the difference you make and the generosity and vulnerability in sharing your journey and wisdom with us, Judith. Onward!
Hi, I am Olga. Grew up in Ukraine, Khakiv city, moved to Portugal in 2022. I am 40 and first time founder - working on connecting people in immediate danger with their loved ones and communities during natural disaster - Groundsos project. Being on both sides of crisis situations, being a volunteer, caring citizen, and having 10+ years in IT I want to make the next day a bit safer, more certain, and easier for those who experience chaos in the middle of natural disasters. Groundsos is purpose-driven and mission based project, and I am here to learn more and connect.
I'm C Simone, I'm very happy in what I do which is teaching, I qualified as a MFL (modern foreign language) teacher in primary education many years ago and worked as a class teacher and MFL leader creating school partnerships across London and in Paris and Perpignan. I mainly taught French and introduced Spanish to the last school I worked in and have been teaching English as a foreign language to worldwide students online while living in Spain (hence the use of hola 😊)
Aside from teaching, I love writing and have written many different forms of written pieces since age 7 starting with poetry, then onto songs, short stories and plays. Some have been performed on stage and I came here to continue to explore this part of me as a writer and love the community that I'm building on here and those I've joined and getting to know.
I manage 2 publications:
Learning To Live In Translation - all things to do with education, raising bilingual children, analysing language in language learning and grief. I have a collaborative Subscribers series called The Stranger Series which is a great place to start.
My other publication is Reflejo - this is Spanish for mirror / reflection - I write reflections on life, questions, experiences and it leans more on spiritual teachings I've researched, I've recently written a short series called 'The Manifestation Series' which is a good place to start for anyone who is interested.
I have previously watched some videos on Stoicism and here to definitely learn more, I believe life can be very fulfilling when we learn, align with our goals and our authentic self and lean into ancient wisdom so thrilled to be here!
What a beautiful introduction. Thank you, Simone! We have several folks here navigating publications and work in multiple languages, as well as several musicians. Great to have you with us!
Hi! I'm a disability transition coach writing about disability, empowerment, and the power of lived experience. I like helping people realize that acquired disability isn't a tragedy, but a door to new possibilities.
I love good conversations and learning new things!
The network effect that is baked into Substack will definitely help. We apply what we call the “conversation engine“ to invite and initiate connections with the best fit prospective subscribers. it’s slower than what the Substack growth hackers, promise, but slow is smooth and smooth as fast. ;)
Keep showing up as you are with what you have and do your thing, Sarah. Your people will find you!
What an important and powerful mission, Sarah. Thank you for sharing it with us and welcome to the Creative on Purpose sandbox! What’s the number one thing you’re trying to move forward in your endeavor right now?
Thank you, Scott! I'm using Substack to network and build awareness of disability empowerment more broadly. There weren't a lot people saying, "Hey, your life isn't over!" when I became disabled...I just want to figure out the best way to spread that message.
Hello, I've been hanging out with Scott online on and off for quite a few years now, enjoying interesting conversations and difficult questions.
I'm a freelance informational illustrator and observational comics artist and non-fiction graphic novelist. I like making complicated stuff easier to understand, visually, especially when that supports good work being done.
Haven't got to grips with substack at all, except to read other people's stuff, but if you click on my face you can find my website.
What a lovely introduction, Michi. I so appreciate our long-time connection, friendship, and the valuable contributions you make to the Creative on Purpose community calls, oh, and I LOVE your illustrations!
Oh, and I forgot to mention I'm also a fiddle and five-string banjo player (but it's okay - it's old-time clawhammer, not bluegrass).
Busy girl! Good for you!
I enjoy reading books and love the classics. The writer Joseph Campbell was introduced to me by a world religion teacher at the college I attended for art. I work two jobs, one as an artist and potter, and the other in manufacturing making paper towels. For me, I try to tell stories and build community with what I create. I strive to use gratitude, empathy, and generosity to make work that matters for people who care.
I love reading this page because Scott is a Stoic and I enjoy philosophy and thinking about the lives we live. Because of Scott, I read Meditations by Marcus Aurelius, that I had sitting on my shelf for a long time but never got to. Currently, I am getting ready to rebuild a wood kiln at my studio that was given to me and I have to make work for a few shows next month in between the 12-hour rotating shifts at the big paper factory. I try to make the best of each day. I try to keep a humors and positive attitude. I also know I have very little time here above the ground, so I try to enjoy as much of life that as I can.

I teach college music majors ear training and composition and help older people with the same stuff, except less formally.
I’m looking for help growing my online offerings and found you through your connection to Seth Godin.
😀
Thrilled to have you with us, Hans. Out of curiosity, were you a student in any of the Amimbo workshops that I coached?
We have many musicians among us. Waving in Paul, Seth, and Kato, who, like me, may be intrigued by your endeavor!
Thanks, Scott! I was not a student in the Akimbo workshop, though I wish I had been!
Thanks for waving in other musicians!
Hey guys, I’m Judith and a Junkie turned Journalist 💪🏼 I have been a writer for the last 20 years but have shifted from fashion and travel journalism to mental health while being on my personal healing journey from trauma and the resulting drug addiction, alcoholism and eating disorders. On Substack I write about my personal experiences and about how I healed through Transformative Travel around the world, psychology, nervous system work, and decades of therapy 🤪😃💪🏼 I hope to reach those who are on their own recovery journey, who need a little hope and some hands on advice on how to get through the day when things get tough.
🤍🐦🔥 thanks for having me

Hi, I am Olga. Grew up in Ukraine, Khakiv city, moved to Portugal in 2022. I am 40 and first time founder - working on connecting people in immediate danger with their loved ones and communities during natural disaster - Groundsos project. Being on both sides of crisis situations, being a volunteer, caring citizen, and having 10+ years in IT I want to make the next day a bit safer, more certain, and easier for those who experience chaos in the middle of natural disasters. Groundsos is purpose-driven and mission based project, and I am here to learn more and connect.
What important work, Olga. Thank you for the difference you make and this beautiful introduction. It's a privilege to have you with us!
¡Hola!
I'm C Simone, I'm very happy in what I do which is teaching, I qualified as a MFL (modern foreign language) teacher in primary education many years ago and worked as a class teacher and MFL leader creating school partnerships across London and in Paris and Perpignan. I mainly taught French and introduced Spanish to the last school I worked in and have been teaching English as a foreign language to worldwide students online while living in Spain (hence the use of hola 😊)
Aside from teaching, I love writing and have written many different forms of written pieces since age 7 starting with poetry, then onto songs, short stories and plays. Some have been performed on stage and I came here to continue to explore this part of me as a writer and love the community that I'm building on here and those I've joined and getting to know.
I manage 2 publications:
Learning To Live In Translation - all things to do with education, raising bilingual children, analysing language in language learning and grief. I have a collaborative Subscribers series called The Stranger Series which is a great place to start.

My other publication is Reflejo - this is Spanish for mirror / reflection - I write reflections on life, questions, experiences and it leans more on spiritual teachings I've researched, I've recently written a short series called 'The Manifestation Series' which is a good place to start for anyone who is interested.

I have previously watched some videos on Stoicism and here to definitely learn more, I believe life can be very fulfilling when we learn, align with our goals and our authentic self and lean into ancient wisdom so thrilled to be here!
What a beautiful introduction. Thank you, Simone! We have several folks here navigating publications and work in multiple languages, as well as several musicians. Great to have you with us!
Thank you Scott, I appreciate your warm welcome & invitation to introduce myself on here. I look forward to getting to know the community.
Hi! I'm a disability transition coach writing about disability, empowerment, and the power of lived experience. I like helping people realize that acquired disability isn't a tragedy, but a door to new possibilities.
I love good conversations and learning new things!

The network effect that is baked into Substack will definitely help. We apply what we call the “conversation engine“ to invite and initiate connections with the best fit prospective subscribers. it’s slower than what the Substack growth hackers, promise, but slow is smooth and smooth as fast. ;)
Keep showing up as you are with what you have and do your thing, Sarah. Your people will find you!
What an important and powerful mission, Sarah. Thank you for sharing it with us and welcome to the Creative on Purpose sandbox! What’s the number one thing you’re trying to move forward in your endeavor right now?
Thank you, Scott! I'm using Substack to network and build awareness of disability empowerment more broadly. There weren't a lot people saying, "Hey, your life isn't over!" when I became disabled...I just want to figure out the best way to spread that message.
