BETTING ON YOUR VISION with Troi “Elektrik Kid” Durden

What happens when you can see the vision before the world can see it?On this episode of Conversations with Coach LA, Coach LA welcomes artist, producer, and creative visionary Troi “Elektrik Kid” Durden to the virtual couch for an Artist Spotlight about creativity, identity, mental health, perseverance, purpose, and the courage to BET on SELF™.Troi takes us beyond the music and introduces us to the person behind the artistry. Together, Coach LA and Troi unpack a part of the creative journey that people don’t always see: the rejection before the recognition, the self-doubt behind the confidence, the reinvention, discipline, sacrifice, and determination required when you’re carrying a vision that hasn’t been validated yet.🍵 THERAPY TEA: WHAT DOES THERAPY MEAN TO YOU?Because you already know—if you sit on Coach LA’s virtual couch, we’re going there.Coach LA asks her signature question: “What does therapy mean to you?”The conversation explores the intersection of creativity and emotional wellness, including whether art can be healing, the difference between expressing pain and actually processing it, and why creatives must learn to protect the person carrying the gift—not just the gift itself.🎯 BET ON SELF™ MOMENTTroi shares his personal BET on SELF™ Moment, the experiences that helped shape Elektrik Kid, and what he has learned about trusting his creativity when the external validation hasn’t caught up with the internal vision.He also looks ahead to what may be possible in the next chapter of his artistry, purpose, and impact.This conversation is for every artist, entrepreneur, dreamer, creator, and visionary who has ever wondered:“Am I crazy for believing this can work when nobody else can see it yet?”Maybe the vision came to you first because you were supposed to believe in it first.The applause may come later. The recognition may come later. The validation may come later.But the BET on SELF™ starts now.💭 COACH LA’S QUESTION FOR YOUWhat are you willing to believe about your vision before you have the validation to prove it?Drop your answer in the comments and share this episode with somebody who needs permission to keep betting on their vision. Follow Coach LA: @therapist_coachla Subscribe: IamCoachLA.com  🎙️ Thanks for tuning in to Conversations with Coach LA!Don’t forget to subscribe and turn on your notifications so you never miss a new episode—dropping every Thursday wherever you get your podcasts.
