LA VIE BOHEME!
“Imagine a world where success is measured by creativity, passion, and human impact. That world starts with us! Let’s lead the change.” That’s my vision statement for Bobby Ford Studios. It informs how I empower creative people and brands across multiple sectors. On the business side, it’s my North Star.
What happens when we abandon the artifice and superficial bullshit as human-centered coaches, impact-driven entrepreneurs, progressive creatives and artists, writers and teachers with depth and soul, holistic healers, and other members of our BoHo tribe? All that remains is the naked soul in the mirror. The unfiltered source of our very best life and work.
I have spent countless hours in post-production houses. From making TV ads to producing podcasts. Creating radio spots to editing a short film. Sinking into a collaborative space is liberating. Anything is possible! Creators coming together to bring a vision to life. That’s my soul food. And that’s what we’ll build here on Substack. A community of imagineers, visionaries, empaths, bohemians, and artisan rule-breakers empowering one another to chart their own course.
Unconditionally trusting yourself when bringing a vision to life is a courageous act. Doubling down on the business, human-impact brand, book, whatever, that must get done is a bold move. Don’t give up! Keep sharing your ideas and work with the world. Inch by inch, you’ll find the people, resources, and skills that you need to thrive.
And so it is with your personal journey. Are you running the rat race or traveling True North? We manifest the things we feed. Is autopilot no longer an option? It’s not an easy choice. Making a genuine commitment to find your way. It’s a sacred pact we make with ourselves. Unconditionally honoring that pact is essential.
What sets me apart is my ability to rapidly get people. I rapidly spot the deeper behavioral patterns and hook into the potency of your work, which opens the door to your truest self. You can’t fake that level of intuition and creative instinct, which sets the stage for bold and meaningful action and results. I act as a mirror, guide, and catalyst for your most powerful breakthroughs. I accomplish this through:
Robust exploration and reflection free of judgement.
Tailored, personalized feedback that cuts through the noise.
Insight that bridges the gap between creativity and real world strategy.
Tangible tools to do what you love in a profitable, impact-driven way.
Unencumbered co-creation that opens bold new doors.
Soul-shifts that reignite your creativity, passions and purpose.
Scaling that is authentic to your vision and values.

“Bob has what I (and many others) call the "Bob sixth sense". He has an innate ability to tune into the underlying issue (whether that is fear, doubt, exterior circumstances, systems, or strategy) and works with you to fix it. What I've loved most about working with him is that he doesn't just preach or talk at me. That process has helped me conquer many many hurdles, from personal ones to professional ones. I have a full client load, I've achieved big milestones, and all of that is to credit to working with Bob along the way.”
Lauren Nash
Digital Agency Owner
“I have known Bob professionally for over 25 years now and I can personally attest to the powerful impact of his teaching and mentoring. His amazing skills in assessment established a personal level of responsibility for leadership, and a reality check for the progress we were achieving. Bob’s message is powerful and direct, compassionate and laser beam accurate.”
Mark Becker
2X Deputy Mayor
“Bob did an amazing job helping us figure what parts of the business needed attention. The result was a clear focus and inspiration that is going to motivate and fuel everything we do for the next 6 months. I couldn’t recommend working with him enough. It’s always good to have someone with outside perspective ask the tough questions and that’s exactly what Bob did for us.”
Kareem Badr

Bob knows how creative minds think, and he knows the ins and outs of business. I am a very passionate driven being and I am known to jump from one thing to another on raw passion. Bob was able to reel me in, point it out and sort it out. I am grateful for Bob’s coaching.
