My dream came true on Friday, the 27th of April, 2026, when I gathered 30 odd people into a room for a special first-of-its-kind experience: podcast listening party + art exhibition where guests listened to my podcast while viewing my visual art. It was the finale of my variety show called The Young God Fridays. The stakes were high. 

In the months of planning that preceded the show, I didn't know how that would go -- how it would be received -- if the experience would mesh -- if my voice and my visual art would flow. But I knew I had to try. I picked the episode titled 'We Should All Be Artists' (the audio in the clip) and curated 11 artworks from over 200 created over the last 11 years. 11 artworks that were created in a heavenly state of mind. Hence the theme: ART IN HEAVEN. 

On the day, I rolled the dice -- and the rest was history. I watched as fans, friends and strangers moved between each artwork, headphones on, my aural art infiltrating their hearts and minds while my visual art fed their eyes and soul. It was good. It was magic. It was heaven. You just had to be in the room. 

The event has come and gone and now I have evidence. I have a sample size. I have proof of concept. I am ready to take this experience to another level. Next time, it might be a group exhibition. Who know? Watch this space. The question is: Will you be there?

Hello, my name is Rodney aka Rod, The Young God. I’m a jack of all trades and a master of more than one. ⚡️

For the longest time, people recognized that I was different before they recognized that I was valuable. It’s been the story of my professional life. In that time, I realized that most people will never get to know you, they’ll never get to know how brilliant you are, or what your sense of humour is like, or where you’re coming from, but they WILL see you. I understood that there is something about the way that you choose to present yourself to the world that sort of informs a sense of power. And I chose to present myself in all my glory — my eccentricities, interests, gifts and skills. Not as a brand but as a person who cares, who is passionate, and wants to see what is truly possible when one decides to live in accordance with their highest self and deepest calling.

They tell you to pick a lane, to stick to one thing, to focus. But when you’re a god, you have the God-given strength to do ALL things. I have been many things in my short life and there’s still so much to become. And one way to become is through the work you do. At the end of the day, it’s not about what you create, it’s about what you become through what you create. That’s the real value, the ultimate account of your time on earth. The 1st slide is my attempt to flex — not to oppress, but to inspire. 

This is your reminder that you have so much to be thankful for. Your success is valid whether the world knows or not. You don’t need a pat on the back. You just need to know that what you’re doing matters to those who matter. Shine or don’t shine. Either is fine. 

And for more insights into the practical.process of becoming and being the best version of yourself in all things, check out my podcast @theyounggodpod where all of me past, present and future — how we got here — is documented in pristine production with uncommon storytelling prowess. It is unlike anything you’ve ever heard. Link in my bio! (Not available on Spotify❗) by @rodtheyoungod

Nothing ruins a relationships like overanalysing everything. “Cultivating intuition is the antidote, the secret sauce of high-quality romance. Intuition is that quiet inner compass that tells you when someone feels safe.

It is when laughter flows naturally or when silence feels awesome instead of awkward. It’s less about decoding every word and more about noticing how you feel in someone’s presence. You can tune into your intuition by listening to your body.

Do you feel relaxed or tense around them? Your nervous system often knows before your mind does. Notice patterns, not details.

Instead of obsessing over one text, observe consistency. Do the actions align with their words? Stay present.”

There comes a moment on your spiritual path 
where you might become completely unemployable. 

Not because you’re lazy. 
Not because you failed.

But because the old incentives stop working for you. 
The titles, the performance, the quiet compromises… 
they start to feel like a costume that no longer fits.

You can still show up. 
You can still do the work. 
But something within doesn't align with the culture.

And that can be terrifying. 
Because bills are still due. 
And the world doesn’t pause just because your soul is rearranging itself.

If you’re in that in-between space right now— 
where the old life feels too small 
and the new one hasn’t fully arrived yet—

you’re not broken. 
You’re just becoming harder to hire 
for a role you were never meant to stay in forever.
You might be called to create a new culture, a new table for yourself and others like you. 

I spoke about my experience at length in an episode of my podcast titled, 'Godpreneur: Build the Company You Want to Work For' available on YouTube and Castbox. Just search the title, tap 'play' and enjoy!

Creatives are for right now. Artists are forever⚡️

The energy to stay consistent at something for a long time can only come when you create from a deeply personal place. Many don't have access to this so they applying themselves to a thing is impossible. This is the difference between arrist and being a creative professional. There are levels to this.

I’m a podcaster that thinks of himself as an artist. I am enamored with what the medium can do. The pictures I can paint with words and the way I engage with audiences. I am very lucky to be able to do this. If you want this feeling you have to figure out what it is about the thing that makes you do it. Find your own personal reason and tap into that place everyday. Before you know it, you'll make art where others create content.

New painting: When Saints Earn Their Halos (2026)✨

Soft light. Quiet breath. Halos that don’t need to be earned—just felt. Four saints who have earned their halos after a life of giving light to the world. I painted them as saints of the in-between: not distant icons, but present, grounded, still. The process was slow and deliberate—layering the glow until the light felt like it was breathing with them.

A moment of shared stillness. No noise. Just presence.

What does this energy feel like to you? ✨🕯️
