Motion Creates Clarity

How often do you downplay your own successes? I fail to acknowledge the magnitude of my risks and accomplishments often.

As soon as I achieve a goal, I just move on to the next, and this is something I am becoming conscious of.



My current location is on the West Coast in a beautiful region of Central California. A small college town by the beach. San Luis Obispo.



Within a few minutes, I can drive on the beach and sand dunes, go surfing, lay out on a beautiful public beach full of happy people, or park on a mountain top with panoramic views of the city and ocean while I edit videos.



This area is not congested and homelessness is far less prevalent than anywhere I’ve been in a long time.

This mission of “Adventure, Kindness, and Wellness” in the pursuit of freedom and self sufficiency sounds foreign and crazy to some. To others, it sounds romantic and inspirational. Few, if any understand a journey like this if they have not engaged in some form of parallel experience.



Just over two-years ago, I was at the end of a 7-year phase, living in the place that I wanted to be most in the world. Breckenridge, Colorado. One of the two most visited ski towns in America. See the Book of Mike G YouTube for more awesome videos!

When I moved there in 2014, it was still possible to own a home, buy land, build something, and create a middle-class life through hard work and consistent income.

Within a few years that dream became unobtainable. Even with jobs like grocery stocker paying $30.00 per-hour by the time I left in 2021. 



Our housing economy and the community were changing quickly and in 2020, that process accelerated exponentially.

By 2021, our town of 5,000 residents had "lost" four-thousand housing units of all sizes to wealthy Air BnB and short-term rental owners from different states and countries… Housing for local workforce was effectively gone. Literally impossible to find. Thus the concept of a 4x4 camper that fits into a normal parking space and has room to comfortably work on my laptop.

 Sadly, after 7-years living the ski town life, I had to return to my hometown.

Once I lost my housing as the result of my divorce, I could not find anywhere else to live and honestly did not want to live in that small town and watch my ex wife move on. I knew everyone, everyone knew me. It was just time for a new chapter.

I

came home to Wichita defeated, depressed, but out of debt with a couple thousand dollars in the bank.



I returned at age 39. After a few weeks, I stepped into the gym for the first time in years.

Here, I developed habits and made changes that will be beneficial for the rest of my life.



I had the opportunity to take my contract work for the world’s largest custom motorcycle manufacturer, Big Dog Motorcycles and turn that work into a full time job for the next year.

During a moment like this, if one chooses, it is a wonderful time to truly assess what you desire your life to look like.

If you ever find yourself having lost a relationship, housing, possibly credit and additional objects, it can be one of the most liberating feelings, if you take the moment to acknowledge the gift of freedom that you have received.


My intention was to stay home for a year, save some money, figure out my next destination and make the move.



I obtained my Cannabis Masters Degree from Cannabis Training University and began pursuing that as a career path, but without any real direction. Previously, I worked in the industry and thought it could really be a good sustainable career path.



It’s funny how much time, money, and resources went into my prior university degree in video production and journalism, yet I never found the place I fit into the world happily trading my hours for dollars to make another person, party, or business profit. 



So, I got myself locked into a 1-year lease to work with Big Dog Motorcycles. I stayed home for a bit over a year, then my engine broke down and needed to be replaced.



During this two-year period at home, I spent hours upon hours daily, thinking about Who I am, who I want to be, and what purpose I will pursue with this moment of freedom in my life.

Remember, I was debt-free with cash in the bank when I arrived home.

Due to the engine replacement and taking a risk with a different friend’s business, which did not turn out fruitful, I was now $13,000 in debt on high interest credit cards.

Around this time, my mindset began to shift. Now that my eyes are open, I have been focusing on shifting from selling my skills and abilities to an employer to realizing all of my past challenges have been equipping me to pursue my own path if I can just find the right direction.



As a Video Producer of 17-years, I finally realized something so simple. I can make a legitimately sustainable career creating content for YouTube. The hard part is developing the concept, believing in myself enough to fully commit to the challenge, and being willing to see things through, even in moments of stagnation or hardship.



After deciding that I was completely serious about my YouTube career, I had to define my channel and content.

With much time and thought, I developed the concept of “Adventure, Kindness, and Wellness” Three things that are important to me in my own life and will be appealing to others who are also interested in similar pursuits.



If you delve into my first podcasts and live videos, you can see how much of an amateur I am in front of the camera, even with nearly two-decades of professional experience behind the viewfinder.

I was never interested in sitting in front of the camera in a studio and talking. At the same time, the adventure element that is supposed to drive everything was just not present in the flat, industrial conservative Midwestern city of Wichita, Kansas. 



The clarity I sought was still far away. At the same time, I was 40, closing in on 41, living in my hometown for nearly two-years.

At this point, the reality of my own mortality started to become a prevalent part of my conscious thought process.

Around that time, I realized that if I didn’t have a drop-dead date for departure and a destination, another year could pass and I might be in even worse financial shape, or something else could happen that kept me locked into a place and life that I did not want.



So, without having ever been there, I chose Palm Springs, California for my Winter destination. 



Next, the Redbull Imagination freestyle motocross event popped up on my Facebook feed and happened to land on the last day of September 2023. This was pretty close to the time I wanted to depart for my next adventures, and even though it is one of the biggest and most progressive Redbull FMX events in the world, it was only a few hours away from home in the middle of nowhere.



I bought my tickets and set this event as my drop-dead departure date.



So much has happened since that time. Make sure to check out my channel to see all of the adventures I have shared since then.

The point of this story isn’t to describe the adventures, but rather to explain how important it is to start moving, even if you don’t know exactly where you’re going.



At this point in life, I know I can be some thing amazing for myself and I have the ability to make this world a slightly better place.

I will be selling myself short and depriving the world of the gifts I can produce if I throw out all of the skills, experience, and fortitude I’ve developed… This is exactly how I see trading my hours for dollars to build something for someone else, literally throwing away my strongest attributes that I have painstakingly developed throughout my life.



What happens when a person like myself with this much experience and professional skills begins working for others? most of their skills and experience are disregarded.

That person is trained to follow directions, produce the result they are told, and use a small portion of their knowledge and experience. Meanwhile, all of their capabilities and strengths outside of those directions are not utilized, even if they are the most valuable skills the employee possesses. 



When I recognized how much of my time and energy will go into selling myself to others for their benefit, I realized that I was disregarding my ability to do amazing things with my life for myself and for others.



The amount of work, stress, dedication, education, time, and energy that goes into seeking an employer is substantial. 



I’ve come to the conclusion that in my life, I can dedicate that time and energy to my own pursuits… If I have the self discipline and dedication needed, I will be able to produce a far better outcome in life that will last the rest of my life, and it will only take a few years of hard work, dedication, and discomfort to get off the ground.

The hardest part is getting started.



Living in a world full of modern comforts, conveniences, and working for others while eliminating the need to figure things out and make them work, I see American culture turning weak, soft, and dependent. Not to mention depressed, unhealthy, and addicted.

One of my biggest pursuits in life is freedom.

What that means to me is that I am able to thrive without having to depend on an employer or clients to allow me the ability to feed myself and pay for shelter.

It means living beneath my means, owning land outright, and building my piece of the American dream with hands-on sweat equity instead of trading 30-years of my life for the currency to pay interest and taxes on, while not being able to save enough to comfortably retire. 



Realizing that I am selling myself short following the directions of others for their profit, and understanding that life is getting shorter by the day, I no longer have time to waste, dreaming, thinking, and hoping while living a soft life full of comfort and convenience. 



All of the comfort and convenience was coming at a high price. It was keeping me from moving forward and pursuing the man that I am capable of becoming. It was making me numb my dissatisfaction with alcohol, and it was not allowing me to become my authentic self.

Instead, it was forcing me into a mold that I was not suited to fit into.



This is where I do not give myself enough credit for what I have accomplished… Check out my channel to see all of the hard work I did to prepare for this new life I’ve decided to design and pursue.



I’m now on the West Coast, living in a place that I really like, making 4x the same income for literally the EXACT SAME JOB with the same company.



My location is perfect for my vision of parking my 4x4 mobile office camper in beautiful places to work on my laptop and shoot amazing, visually appealing videos.



By the time I began generating an income in California, I had accumulated several thousand dollars in credit card debt from the second friend’s business I wasted my time with, combined with travel expenses, and 20-days without income.



At the same time, I’m years ahead of where I could be if I stayed in my hometown with low income and a low cost of living. Especially sense my transmission is now failing and will also need to be replaced with credit over the next few weeks.



But…

Imagine if the transmission broke down in Wichita and I did not depart on the day that I set. I would likely still be there, working for so little that I can’t pay for the transmission or get on the road. I wouldn’t have the subject matter or visually appealing locations to capture content and tell my stories… Who knows, maybe I would have gotten myself a DUI or worse. (I’m 81-days alcohol free today, by the way.) 



My path is still fairly undefined. It is coming into focus and I am learning more, while improving my plan, tactics, content, and online presence daily. 



When I think about how far I’ve come over the last two-months, I realize how substantially vital this decision to move forward and risk everything I had left to put into this life truly is.



When I consider the monumental challenge of my failing transmission, I recognize that it is just another opportunity to build more fortitude, overcome a hard moment, and become even more dedicated to the mission that I am on.



Now, this challenge is part of my story that I am still writing. At the same time, I’m locked in. I’m on the West Coast, I have solid income, and even though I will be able to move on soon enough, I’m going to embrace this moment. Work hard, pay off the transmission and some additional debt, while continuing to create content, learn, develop, evolve, and pursue my mission of self-sustainable freedom with the theme of Adventure, Kindness, and Wellness.



When I think back to the moment that I chose the date 9/30/23 for my departure, I know that it would have been much easier to work for even another month before departure, yet I also recognize the substantial progress I have made on my mission over the last two-months, and in the long run, I believe that a single month’s progress is worth far more than the money I would have been able to save and dedicate to this adventure.



Now, my blurry vision of the future is coming into focus… Choosing a departure date and location were possibly the most valuable things I could have done for myself at that time. 



Now, I am in a position where I cannot find a better path or option than to stay the course that I am on, sail straight through the rough waters of transmission troubles.

Along the way, I have come to the conclusion that I have a far FAR higher likelihood of achieving the financial freedom for myself on this path, than wasting any more of my precious hours begging employers or clients for work, or going back to college for an MBA.



When my mind finally realized the substantial limits of the career world, it became obvious that the world the Boomers experienced will produce less buying power in my lifetime, and basically no chance at a comfortable retirement if I try to do things the way they did.



When my mind was able to break free of the idea that I must do what education and society says I should, then I began to realize that every moment not spent pursuing my dreams, goals, and vision were moments lost that I could never get back.



And now, here I am on the coast, proud of the progress I’ve made over the last few months. Moving towards my dreams on a daily basis, and making good enough money to pay down debt promptly and free up more time and money to focus on my desired outcome in life.



If I didn’t set that departure date and location, I would not be as far along as I am now, even if this is just the very beginning.



So if you are ever feeling stuck or lost, take some real time to understand your personal mission. Choose an outcome and a time. Commit to it, even if it is uncomfortable, then take action.In the end, you will develop courage, self esteem, grit, and joy. True joy.

Jakub Józef Orliński is the new countertenor name to add to an ever-growing roster of artists who are selling discs and selling out concert halls in this once rarefied area of the vocal arts.

Polish singer Orliński is 27 and Anima Sacra, his debut album, will be released by Erato on 26 October 2018. It contains eleven Neapolitan arias of which eight are world premiere recordings of works by Nicola Fago, Francesco Durante, Francesco Feo, Domenico Sarro and Domingo Terradellas.

A debut recording artist having such a free rein in choosing unfamiliar material is unusual.

Eight world premieres to record out of 11 pieces. That is a lot. I am grateful that Warner Classics & Erato trusted me on this project and let me record so many unknown pieces of music.

My friend Yannis Francois, over course of a year and few months, had found all of those pieces and edited them to our modern notation. He actually found more than 40 new pieces but from that we chose our favourites which would fit to the theme of Anima Sacra, so we ended up using eight world premiere pieces on that album.

It is all sacred music, but written already in a very operatic, virtuosic style. I have to say that there is nothing comparable to a feeling when you bring to life a piece of music with a full orchestra which was not performed for hundreds of years. It is absolutely incredible. I am glad that I had a chance to do that at such an early stage of my career.

Il Pomo d’Oro Orchestra play on the album, conducted by Maxim Emelyanychev.

I felt so honoured when Il Pomo d’Oro agreed to record with me. It was more than a dream to work with those people. I was so happy that I got a chance to make music with such a great ensemble and to work with Maxim.

They have also played on discs by other well-known countertenors.

Not only they played with most known countertenors but also other extraordinarily talented and accomplished singers. We had a lot of fun recording that album and during the concerts that we already have performed together in Europe. We get along very well and I think you can hear that during our performances. They are truly giving me such comfort with their brilliant playing that I really can do my best performing.

Do you listen to other countertenors?

I really like to listen to my colleagues because I am still fascinated by the development of my own countertenor voice and technique. Nowadays there are more and more of us but still almost everyone is so different and has something unique.

Baroque music video clips don’t go viral. Cecilia Bartoli has several YouTube videos with over two million views, but they are clips uploaded several years ago. France Musique’s video of Orliński performing Vedro con mio diletto from Vivaldi’s opera Giustino notched up more than two million views in just a few months. He was at the Festival d’Aix in July 2017 to sing in Cavalli’s Erismena, and the recording was made during the day in an open-air courtyard. Orliński in shorts and trainers, looks as though he’s off on a hike, and his pianist, wearing flip-flops, looks ready for the beach.

The video in Aix-en-Provence was introduced to me as a radio programme, so when I asked about the dress code they told me that it’s radio, so nobody will see me. That is why with my pianist we look very summery. I think, because of that it also brought a lot of attention. It was a very warm summer day, we were performing that Vivaldi piece of music with passion and tried to perform our best, but we looked casual as was the surrounding, so I think it worked perfectly for that situation.

I would not dress like that for a Wigmore Hall recital! Although I am already thinking of some ideas about how to break down some of the dress codes a little bit. I just think that if we want to bring some more interest into classical music it will be good to try to do it in many different ways, for example with more casual concerts or short videos like the one from Aix, or bringing some colour, fashion to recitals, concerts. It might bring a new public which I think we need.

Orliński came into contact with Early music at an early age, joining a choir called Gregorianum soon after starting elementary school.

Music was a big part of my life since childhood. My parents loved listening to different types of music at home and also while we were traveling. I think I got my love for music from that at first place.

I sang with the Gregorianum choir for over 11 years. We mainly sang renaissance pieces. I started as a boy alto but later on, after my voice changed, I had a short period of singing as a bass-baritone.

As we formed a new Men Vocal Ensemble Gregorianum I again started singing as an alto, back then I didn’t even know that you can call that voice a countertenor. My passion for music and especially Early music was born because of that choir, all of the travels we did together and all the repertoire I have explored with them. I am sure that it had a great impact on me as a young boy but also has huge impact on my career.

But choosing to sing as a countertenor is a curious decision for a young singer.

I didn’t have to be a countertenor. I had a choice, but I realised that with a countertenor voice I can really express what I want to say through music, that I can really communicate my feelings to other people with that part of my voice.

Singing as a countertenor was much more satisfying and I just really liked exploring more and more about the techniques of singing in that style. During my high school years I was learning how to draw and how to paint, but I was so terrible at it that I decided that I was just going to study by myself and then go to study music at university to be better in my vocal ensemble, and then maybe one day become one of The King’s Singers — back then that was my absolutely favourite ensemble.

I got into the university and I fell in love with Baroque music and singing solo, so my plans got changed from that moment on.

Orliński studied at the Fryderyk Chopin Music University for five years completing Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees. His vocal teacher was Polish mezzo-soprano Anna Radziejewska.

She was not only a great teacher but also an incredibly good and supportive human being. Starting as a countertenor is not an easy thing to listen to. I was, as we say, ‘from the street’ and I didn’t have any musical training before university. I was just singing in an amateur choir. I had no idea about hundreds of techniques and musical aspects of singing that my friends had already known about for years, so I was starting from a very low point. Anna Radziejewska gave me support and the belief that I could everything if I just worked hard enough.

While finishing his degree he took part in the young artist program at the Opera Academy in Teatr Wielki-Opera Narodowa where he studied with Eytan Pessen who sent him to Philadelphia to audition for the Curtis Institute of Music.

I got to the final round but unfortunately, I didn’t get in. Then he suggested Juilliard, so I went there.

Orliński first met Canadian soprano Edith Wiens in Germany at her young artists program, International Maistersinger Akademi, and she is a professor of voice at the Juilliard School.

At IMA I worked a little bit with Edith and right away there was a very good connection between us and I knew that it will be a great idea to study with her. Fortunately, she agreed to teach me and we had lovely two years in Juilliard.

As Anna Radziejewska, Edith Wiens is not only a great teacher but she really cares for her students, she really wants the best for you, and will help you to achieve your goals. Edith gave me so much support during those difficult two years in USA, and I am so grateful for her involvement in my development.

Difficult? Orliński was born in Warsaw, Poland’s capital and its largest city, but nothing prepared him for New York.

Yes, I have to say that I had extremely difficult time in New York when I was studying there. At first, I was extremely excited about everything but also incredibly scared. It is not just a different country, but a different continent. New York is so big, the buildings so high and people are running all the time from place to place. It was quite a shock at first.

Also, the language, I could communicate quite well when I arrived but I couldn’t understand everything perfectly, so my brain was almost every day really tired and it took me a long time to get used to functioning in English 24/7.

The last part was just work. I knew why and what for I came to The Juilliard School for, so I wanted to get all the things out of it I could — all the knowledge and skills I could possibly get in those two years. So I was sitting in school almost every day from 8am till midnight. It was difficult, but I liked it, and I am really happy that it was like that, and that it wasn’t easy. That’s why I feel like I really worked for what is happening right now with my career.

What countertenors can achieve technically today is far beyond the capabilities of previous generations.

The countertenor technique, awareness of how that voice works is much more widespread. There are more and more teachers who know how to cope with a voice like that even in an early stage of education. That is a game changer. It is not anymore about exploring and trying to work things out in some sort of way. People know how they should teach countertenors, so the process is much better.

Having said that I think the whole countertenor field is stepping to a next level. We have much bigger range of different types of countertenors.

Why do you think it is that countertenors are increasingly popular? Is it about the sound? The repertoire?

There is something about that voice type which is really intriguing, mysterious and beautiful. I think almost all countertenors sound different, have something else to show, and as early music is getting more and more attention, people just want to listen to countertenors.

There is also a lot of new music being written for that type of voice because of its possibilities. Countertenors can sing high but also if needed they can use their natural register, so they can use tenor, baritone or even bass notes, which is something that contemporary composers like a lot.

While at Juilliard, Orliński took part in Jonathan Dove’s opera Flight, a work originally commissioned by Glyndebourne.

I loved working on Flight. It was my first full contemporary opera and I truly loved the fact that we could talk with the composer. It is an incredible feeling to talk with a living composer. I cannot do that singing Handel or Bach. That is why I would love to sing some more contemporary music.

You have to be really careful with this kind of music because sometimes it is really not written in a vocal way and you can easily get in trouble if you use your voice in a wrong way. I perform some contemporary songs, but I haven’t yet performed another full opera like Flight. I hope I will have a chance to work on something modern in the near future.

Now you’re living life on the road, constantly travelling, and the tour connected with Anima Sacra will take you and Il Pomo d’Oro around France, Belgium, and the United States. You’ve already sung at Carnegie Hall but will make your recital concert debut there in January 2019.

I love it. This is basically why I became a singer. I absolutely love to travel, meet new people, new places, cultures, languages and food. It’s all so exciting! I started traveling as a breakdancer doing some competitions here and there, mostly in Europe, but it gave me the taste which I loved.

I would love to speak more languages because there is nothing more satisfying than talking with people in their own language.

And of course, food. I love food. People think that I don’t really eat much, but I eat a lot. As they say – food is always good.

I like to walk around in those places where I perform. I truly love that about traveling so much. You have friends almost everywhere, so you can meet up with them and enjoy all those places in a little bit less touristy way.

Lots of new friends then, but your family, your home?

I try to visit my family as often as possible! It is incredibly important to me to see them. It keeps me grounded and healthy.

Apart from the concert platform, Orliński has many opera commitments, dominated by Handel, including a Rinaldo at Glyndebourne next summer where he will again be working alongside Anima Sacra conductor, Maxim Emelyanychev.

That’s true, I sing a lot of Handel. Mostly because those roles just really fit my voice. I did so many Handel arias, operas that I feel like I start to really understand his style, what makes me feel very comfortable in his compositions. I truly adore performing Handel, but I also really like performing pieces by other early music composers like Pergolesi, Hasse, Zelenka, Fago and Vivaldi. There is so much music and so many compositions that I would love to sing. I hope I will have time to sing as many of them as possible.

At this point in your career you have moved rapidly from being a student to seeing your first album launched by one of the world’s most prestigious record labels. There are those two million YouTube views, contracts with the greatest opera houses and concert halls. You can’t have imagined this just a couple of years ago.

So many great things are happening, and I’m just along for the ride. I am very open minded, and I take things as they come. I had never even thought of singing in, for example, Carnegie Hall and now at this point I’ve sung there already three times. It is absolutely crazy! There are so many exciting things if it comes to places and people with whom I am working, and I have never thought I would be even close to them. I am constantly blown away with all of those things. Maybe that is why I am so happy all the time!

Dreams?

If it comes to dreams, there are quite a few things which might come true someday, but for now a realistic dream which I am looking forward to is recording an album with my friend’s early music ensemble and to put on that album English baroque music which will have a little twist. I cannot say anything more, because I am still working on the whole project and it might still take two or three years till it actually happens.

Certainly Alfred Deller — the English countertenor central to the renaissance of early music in the mid-twentieth century — would not have had the following phrase in his biography:

Orliński is also a virtuoso in breakdancing, having earned fourth place at the Red Bull BC One Poland Cypher competition, second place on the Stylish Strike – Top Rock Contest and second place at The Style Control competition, among others.

Deller wouldn’t have even understood the paragraph — Red Bull? Breakdancing? Orliński is a man of his time, but also a man of curiosity with respect for the past. He’s eager to communicate his passion for his centuries-old repertoire with his own generation as well as the ever-growing band of early music enthusiasts.

I mostly enjoy when I get to people, when I make them feel something or think about something else, if I am able to take them to some other place. It does not necessarily have to be my world but if I can take them somewhere else with my interpretations, then I am extremely happy and satisfied.

What do you feel when you are singing?

I enjoy that rare sensation of total freedom. The voice is such a difficult instrument that almost every day it feels different. But there are times when you feel absolute freedom and you feel like you can do with your voice whatever you want, and it costs nothing. Those are very nice moments in a singer’s life.

So being in front of an audience is liberating?

I think I enjoy the most that feeling of connection with your fellow musicians and the public. It is incredible when you truly feel like everyone listens and waits for every single note, every single word to come out.

And then after the piece there is so much tension. Everyone is so in the moment and the atmosphere of the piece you have just sung that there is that dead silence… silence… For me, it is the most powerful and rewarding thing ever.

Jakub Józef Orliński, countertenor il pomo d’oro  Maxim Emelyanychev, conductor

In conversation with Jakub Józef Orliński – the new countertenor on the block Jakub Józef Orliński is the new countertenor name to add to an ever-growing roster of artists who are selling discs and selling out concert halls in this once rarefied area of the vocal arts.
