In this episode of The Alpha Renaissance, I sit down with Nick Onken, the creative mind trusted by Justin Bieber, Usher, Chance the Rapper, Ian Somerhalder, Lewis Howes, Quincy Jones, and Jessica Alba. We explore why trust matters more than talent, how creative flow is engineered rather than waited for, and how focus, energy, and identity shape meaningful work. Nick breaks down the rituals, systems, and mindset behind consistent creative mastery, offering insight into how great creators build clarity in a world of noise — and why the most impactful work always reflects who you’re becoming.

Most commonly known as the photographer of the 'who is who' and some of the world's most highly acclaimed entrepreneurs, Nick Onken is a creative alchemist whose professional and commercial repertoire has no template or limits.
