The Shifting Perceptions Podcast by Jay Alders - Inspiration For Creative Lifestyles
The conversations you didn’t know you needed—but won’t stop thinking about. Hosted by artist, and serial entrepreneur Jay Alders, Shifting Perceptions explores the intersection of creativity, entrepreneurship, personal growth, and deep thinking.
Each episode features candid, unfiltered conversations with artists, best selling authors, world champions, rockstars, entrepreneurs, and thought leaders who challenge norms and share raw insights on success, struggle, and the human experience.
This isn’t surface-level talk. It’s the good stuff....The mindset shifts, and “aha” moments most people never hear.
If you’re tired of predictable podcasts and crave conversations that challenge the way you think, this is the show you’ve been looking for.
