Mick Unplugged · Amber Butaud | Merging Faith, Creativity, and Entrepreneurship · 26 Dec 2024 podcast

I'm kind of sitting in the more big picture, visionary business side of the industry and And kind of created a home for those to create from. And I'm really passionate about that. So when you come through the doors of For the One, I hope you feel like you're at home.

Not just a studio, but that you're at a home that loves you and wants to foster the God-given creativity that's been put in you to accomplish what you're put here to do.

Let's go. I like it.

So the name of the studio is for the one studio. And a lot of people ask me like, why did you name it that? Well, that was something that was between God and I, and this is how that came about. When I was looking to do this, I was looking at all the amount of work that it was going to take and everything to do it. And I said to the Lord, that's like so much, so much work.

And he said, would you do all of this for the one? And I was like, well, that kind of seems like a lot. I was thinking maybe more for the masses we could do this. And he's like, well, because I gave my life for the one you. And I was like, well, when you say it like that, fine, we'll do it.

It's always been about the one for me, the one person that needs to hear a message and the one person that needs to give a message. Like if you can focus on the one person that can cause a ripple that actually can change the world. But I think that we are so concerned about the millions or the masses and reaching that that we forget about the one because I am that one. You are that one.

The one person that took the time to hear your story or the one person that told you something that changed the trajectory of your life you're so thankful for that one person that took the time to do that.

And so if we can focus on being present with the one person that's in front of us or the one thing that we're supposed to do, that truly causes a ripple because then now you can't give away what you don't have. So if you gift them something, They can now give that away. And that's how the world gets changed. One person at a time, one small ripple.

Just like if you, I don't know, I grew up in the country, so we used to skip rocks, you know? And it's the one little pebble that actually makes that ripple that becomes a massive wave on the shorelines too. So it's over time that that ripple has a massive impact. And maybe you see the impact. Maybe you don't. But that's kind of not up to us. It's just ours to start the ripple.

100%. I am in such agreements. But you know, that takes practice. It goes against our nature, especially now with all of our devices and all the things to put it down and be present where you are. And for years, I counseled.

And that was a practice that I learned how to be present with somebody in that moment in their hardest time and just hear and listen to what they were saying and read between the lines and... And just give of your time like that to somebody. And just that alone, how comforting that is to somebody. And how it's so much more engaging and fulfilling to be present where you are.

But I love what you said by putting your phone down. But that's a discipline that I think that we have just so gotten out of doing as much and something we have to go back to practicing. I'm trying to do the same thing, especially at dinners, dinners with your kids or dinners with your friends, that you are presently there. And you're right. I think when you're present, you're more alive.

And I think you're more willing to share goodness that's within you in that time instead of being distracted.

That's good. You know, I was at this event one time and this man who's been very successful in his life gave me some really great advice. We were talking about how we donate to causes and what we give to and nod and things like that. And he said to me, Amber, the things of this world are measurable. If you do good at your job, you get a raise.

If you earn a certain amount of income, you buy a bigger house or you get cars. If you do good in a sport, you get an award, you win the game. All the things of this world are measurable. And we like that. We like measure. We want to measure. We have a desire in us to measure. But the things of the Lord are unmeasurable, this side of heaven. But they are measured. They're just measured in heaven.

So every day I wake up, I look at life and I say, okay, I've got dual currency with my time and effort. And that is I've got currency and time and effort measured here. And then I have the unmeasurable kind on this side, but is being measured up there. And everything that I touch should have both of those. So relationships, unmeasurable here.

I mean, I guess if you go, well, I've got a black book of so much, you could say that. But really, are those actually deep relationships? Are those just people you know? You know, time spent with somebody being present

at the grocery store for an additional 30 minutes because the cashier lady had a hard time maybe lost a family member or whatever and you're there to listen and give of your time and maybe some words of wisdom of encouragement because kindness is free and you can just give that away if you got it from doing that isn't measured here like no one's giving you an award nobody's patting you on the back

But it is measured, and it's measured in a currency that you will obtain forever, for eternity. And so if you can look at it that way, that you're storing up and that you have currency, just double currency, and that's what you choose to do with your time here and your time that you give forever, I think it's a better way to live and puts things in perspective.

I think if you go practical. Yeah. I think it's like, you know, that big jar that you put the big rocks in first. So you got to say daily, what are my big rocks? What are the things that are most important to me? What trumps the chaos in my life, right? Yeah. That's always going to happen.
