S2E3: An Artist of Life with Kevin Belisario

In this episode, we sit down for an inspirational chat with trail blazing creative and Host of the “Of Like Minds” podcast, Kevin Belisaro.  Dancing since the age of 7, Kevin walks us through his dance journey and shares his philosophy on teaching through a selfless approach.  We talk about staying focused during a pandemic and he shares his theory on compound interest and incorporating it into his fitness regimen.  Kevin shares his goals and the motivation behind setting and proclaiming them over Instagram.  We dive into Kevin’s recent project “Of Like Minds” podcast and he shares advice on how to keep the “creative juices” flowing in a time of a pandemic. Kevin shares his affinity for Lululemon and Nike and even gives his top clothing recommendations.  He then inspires us with his minimalist mentality and is the first guest to make it through all of the rapid fire questions (even if it was by force).  We wrap the episode with Kevin’s favorite quarantine meal, his writing routine and he shares his insights on what’s good in the dance community. ​
