We recently connected with Walter J. Pullom and have shared our conversation below.
Walter J. , thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today Learning the craft is often a unique journey from every creative – we’d love to hear about your journey and if knowing what you know now, you would have done anything differently to speed up the learning process.
When I was brand new in the local industry, I had to become a student of my craft. To always be willing to learn and keep a steady growth mindset.
Sitting back and learning from experienced ones and heeding their advice, suggestions, and appreciating their mentorship.
Keeping a hungry mindset valuing your very own worth were some key lessons in learning the craft.
Learning the craft involves knowing there’s a time for everything a time to keep a low profile and knowing when it’s time to burst forth and showcase what you are made of.
Walter J. , love having you share your insights with us. Before we ask you more questions, maybe you can take a moment to introduce yourself to our readers who might have missed our earlier conversations?
Hello to the readers. My name is Walter Pullom. Thank you for your time & consideration.
My brand services brand from teaching spinning classes, dance classes and step classes in the gym. I do not have my own branded merchandise yet. The creative works I provide are content creation, artistic direction, and music production. I offer science tutoring as well.
My inspirations for my brand and work stem from real life and encounters. The highs and low points of life serve as raw fuel for my passion for this work.
The current creative pivot focuses on my new ventures: my authentic creations: Lil Timmy and Lil Suzie science productions, to creating my own sci-fi anime with original music productions.
I am most excited about my first Lil Timmy science project, titled No Notification, with a complete online release date in November 2023. From educational scientific verses and freely flowing hooks on topics such as atoms/states of matter to gravity, and physical properties of matter. Recorded in summer 2023 during the South Florida heatwaves, I found some surprising, unexpected inspiration to create and record again. I create all the verses, flows, and hooks.
My Lil Timmy Science Mix is the prelude to the real project. III: Dreams Burst (creative aesthetic by WJP). Lil Timmy needed a proper introduction; I am introducing Lil Suzie (the original character created by me) who has her own style and sound. It took almost a year to make, the production starting right in late 2022.
III: Dreams Burst it is not one genre or two. It is genre bending. It is an authentic sci-fi artistic deluge. Please stay tuned.
Lil Timmy’s No Notification and III: Dreams Burst debut in the late fall-winter 2023 season.
I would love for you to check my work.
Thank you to the readers and Canvas Rebel-Voyage. I appreciate this opportunity and the consideration and support!!!
Sincerely,
Walter
How about pivoting – can you share the story of a time you’ve had to pivot?
The time in which I had to pivot into my career and life is from 2019 to 2022. It was a time of serious life-changing decisions and trajectory. With the pandemic, it was a time of stillness, I had to sit with myself and really think, reflect, heal, and face heavy obstacles head on. It was to grow and blossom or get stuck in the past forever.
After I left teaching Spin classes and the corporate gym environment, I found fresh, organic inspiration to reinvent and pivot into my craft of teaching science and creating incorporating my art of teaching and custom instructional flows and strategies.
Let’s talk about resilience next – do you have a story you can share with us?
The story was death in the family.
There was a lot of family loss during that that time, I put on for those loved ones no longer here (rest easy). When I graduated and continue to flourish, that is a victory (a W) for them. When I earned my credentials, that was a W for them. The memories and the hope of seeing them again some great day and tell them all the great things, accomplishments and successes serves as the motivational catalyst for my resilience.
A story from my journey (circa 2018-2022) that illustrates my resilience is surviving obstructions to my successes & having the odds stacked against me. While dealing with an unprecedented wave of adversity, I still rose to the top spots. through it all.
During those tumultuous times, I looked at myself thoroughly and said to myself; I must, and I will bounce back from this.
