Is it possible that the key to your success depends on skills that have nothing to do with your creative training?

Keith "Keef Keyz" Coston, a Philadelphia - based musician, producer and engineer has discovered that it takes more than artistic or technical skill to stand out.

It takes a servant attitude, great communication skills and flexibility to become uncommonly successful in a crowded marketplace.

In this episode he shares the key elements of his approach so that you can exhibit excellence in your craft, and showcase God's heart for others.

A keyboardist and musician for 30 years, Keith is the owner of Keef Keyz Productions LLC, which services local artists as well as anyone trying to improve their sound.

They have been named in the Philadelphia area as one of the best studios according to Thumbtack.com.

Whether you're just exploring your creative gifts, or you've been creating professionally for years, this show gives Christian creators practical tools and spiritual encouragement to fully embrace God's creative calling - at any level of skill or vocational ability. The goal is to help you create consistently and embrace God's will for your creative life without sacrificing your calling.

Your host and founder is Allen C. Paul — podcaster, musician, author, and speaker based in South Florida.  We started this show to help creators thrive in faith, business, and creativity through simple, practical solutions.
