In this episode, Julie and Dom discuss the pitfalls of being dependent on a single digital platform as a creative entrepreneur. They share personal experiences (including Julie’s recent LinkedIn lockout!), debate the dopamine loop of social media, and stress the importance of building a robust, multi-faceted online and offline presence.
You’ll hear honest talk on:
- Why relying solely on one social channel is risky
- Social media's impact on self-image and trust (hello, filters!)
- Building credibility across platforms (and IRL!)
- Harnessing the power of Google, newsletters, websites, books, podcasts, and more
- How to be seen—strategically—without burning out
- The real value of “in real life” (IRL) networking and content that lasts
Key Topics & Takeaways Platform Addiction & Social Media “Brainwashing” * The show opens with a candid discussion about society’s obsession with going viral and chasing digital fame, and how this addiction is engineered by platforms for profit. * The Problem with Filters & Authenticity * Julie and Dominic reflect on how filters and curated images can erode trust and authenticity, particularly when people's online personas differ wildly from real life. * What Happens When You Lose a Platform? * Julie shares her experience being kicked off LinkedIn—and the fallout when years of branding, networking, and social proof suddenly vanish. * Why Omnipresence Matters * The episode underscores the need to diversify your digital presence: “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.” Google yourself! Are you findable and credible across multiple platforms? * More Than Social—The Power of Authority-Building * Publishing books, speaking, writing for major publications, guesting on podcasts, creating strong websites—these drive real authority, credibility, and inbound opportunities. * Strategic, Not Scattershot Content * Simply posting every day isn’t enough. Every platform and every effort should tie into your overall strategy. Junk content is a waste for you and your audience. * Paid vs Free Visibility * Not everything worth doing is free. Social networks are pay-to-play—be smart about where and how you invest ad spend. * IRL Connections Still Matter!* * Post-pandemic, people crave real-world interaction. Get out, network, be present offline as well as online.
Powerful Quotes
“Social media is the brainwash of the American entrepreneurial culture. There’s a dopamine release—we all want to be famous, rich, and maybe even pretty.” — Julie
“If you’re not there, or the bio is weak, what does your client think about you?” — Dom
Actionable Tips* Audit your web presence: Are you findable and credible across Google, LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and your own website? * Be strategic: Don’t just post content to post. Tie every effort to your bigger business and personal goals. * Invest wisely: Consider targeted ads and boosting, but always with a clear ROI in mind. * Build authority: Write a book, contribute to respected outlets, guest on podcasts, and diversify how you get found. * Don’t forget “In Real Life”: Go to events, network, and make real connections

3 Steps to Build Your Brand's Voice: A Guide to Crafting Authentic CommunicationIn today's crowded marketplace, a strong, recognizable brand voice is essential for standing out and connecting with your audience. Whether you're a startup or an established company, understanding how to craft and refine your brand's voice can make all the difference in how your message resonates. Here are 3 steps to build your brand's voice to help you create authentic, engaging, and consistent communication.
Step 1: Understand Your AudienceThe first step in building your brand's voice is understanding who you're speaking to. Your audience is the foundation of your brand's voice, so knowing their needs, values, and pain points is crucial. Conduct thorough research to gather insights about your target market. Are they looking for expert advice, or do they prefer a more casual, conversational tone? Are they motivated by innovation, or do they value tradition and reliability?
By understanding your audience, you can tailor your communication style to match their expectations, making your brand more relatable and trustworthy. This is the cornerstone of building your brand's voice.
Step 2: Define Your Brand’s PersonalityOnce you've identified your audience, the next step in building your brand's voice is to define your brand’s personality. Think of your brand as a person—what are their traits, values, and unique quirks? Is your brand playful and fun, or is it serious and professional? Is it more about being a trusted guide, or does it take on the role of a bold innovator?
Defining your brand’s personality helps in establishing a consistent tone across all communication channels. This consistency is key to building your brand's voice in a way that your audience will recognize and resonate with.
Step 3: Create a Style GuideThe final step in building your brand's voice is creating a style guide that outlines how your brand communicates. This guide should include key elements like tone of voice, preferred vocabulary, and specific dos and don’ts. For example, if your brand's voice is lighthearted, you might include guidelines on using humor or avoiding overly technical language.
A well-crafted style guide ensures that every piece of content, whether it's a social media post, an email, or a blog, aligns with your brand's voice. This consistency helps in reinforcing your brand's identity and making it memorable to your audience.

- Join Julie Lokun as she does something she has never done before. Not talk.
- SAY WHAT? Julie wrote the popular article on How To Make Money for REAL (and no, she did not use chat GPT she used her brain) and decided to take it one step further and use AI to generate the audio recording. So this episode is brought to you by AI.
Right now, are you searching for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Are you crossing your fingers in the hope that you will win Mega Millions Lottery. Are you busy staying busy, dreading your status as an employee?
I suggest the status of being an employee is sucking your soul because you want to do something bigger. I will go one step further and suggest that your “financial reality” is keeping you locked up in a vacuum of no purpose or passion.
If you are dipping your toe in the entrepreneurial pond, I will take a guess and say that you are not making money as an entrepreneur, solopreneur, author, creative, podcaster, or human because you arenot hungry.
- 💡You are not hungry enough to make the sacrifices and create the energy around yourself to build the empire you have dreamed of.

Meet Jeff Griffin:
In the realm of motivational speakers, few stories are as captivating and inspiring as that of Jeff Griffin. His life-changing accident left him paralyzed, but instead of succumbing to adversity, he emerged stronger and built a remarkably successful life. Recently, he graced the set of the popular podcast "Mediacasters" to share his incredible journey, touching on the concept of "dream weaving" and the importance of not making excuses.
Jeff Griffin's Tragic Accident and Resilience
Jeff's life took a dramatic turn on a fateful day when he was involved in a devastating accident that left him paralyzed from the waist down. It was an incident that could have broken anyone's spirit, but Jeff chose a different path. Instead of dwelling on the past, he focused on rebuilding his life and finding meaning in his circumstances.
From Tragedy to Triumph: Jeff Griffin's Path to Success
As a guest on "Mediacasters," Jeff recounted the transformative journey that took him from a place of despair to becoming a beacon of hope for countless individuals seeking motivation. His story resonates with people from all walks of life, as it exemplifies the human spirit's strength and resilience.
Despite facing numerous challenges, Jeff refused to let his paralysis define him. Through sheer determination and a positive mindset, he pursued higher education, earning a degree in Communications and a master's in Business Administration. These accomplishments became the foundation for his eventual success as a motivational speaker.
Dream Weaving: Creating a Life Beyond Circumstances
One of the key concepts that Jeff discussed on "Mediacasters" is "dream weaving." For Jeff, dream weaving is the art of creating a compelling vision for one's life and working tirelessly to turn that vision into a reality, irrespective of the obstacles in the way. He passionately advocates that everyone has the power to dream big and weave their path to success.
Jeff's journey perfectly illustrates dream weaving in action. Despite facing the daunting challenges of physical limitations, he remained steadfast in his pursuit of personal and professional growth. He emphasizes that setting audacious goals and consistently taking action towards them can create a life filled with purpose and fulfillment.
The Dangers of Making Excuses
Throughout the podcast interview, Jeff Griffin underlined the detrimental impact of making excuses. He acknowledged that it is natural to face adversity, but letting excuses hinder progress only perpetuates a cycle of stagnation. Instead, he encouraged listeners to confront their challenges head-on and search for creative solutions.
Jeff's own life serves as a testament to the dangers of making excuses. Despite the immense hurdles before him, he refused to use his paralysis as a reason to give up. His story encourages others to abandon self-imposed limitations and embrace a mindset of relentless determination.
Jeff Griffin's appearance on "Mediacasters" was nothing short of awe-inspiring. His tragic accident, instead of becoming a roadblock, became the catalyst for a life of remarkable achievement. Through dream weaving and refusing to make excuses, he crafted a path to success that continues to inspire and uplift countless individuals.
His story stands as a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the transformative power of a positive mindset. Jeff Griffin, the paralyzed motivational speaker, is an embodiment of the fact that with determination, dreams can be woven into reality, and adversities can be turned into stepping stones toward greatness. As we leave this podcast episode, we are reminded that it's not our circumstances that define us, but how we choose to respond to them.

A SNEAK PEAK:
Julie Lokun: Welcome to Audiocasters: The Ultimate Guide to Podcasting, where we explore the world of podcasting and provide valuable insights for aspiring podcasters. Today, we're diving into the importance of personal branding and how it relates to your podcast. So, let's get started.
[Theme music fades]
Julie Lokun: While podcasting can be as easy or as difficult as you wanna make it, we are of the opinion that if you're going to podcast, do it right. It all begins with asking yourself a few crucial questions. Why are you interested in podcasting? Who are you hoping to reach? What change will you affect?
Julie Lokun: By answering these questions, you'll be able to define a mission statement that acts as your guiding force as you navigate the world of podcasting and beyond. This journey also involves developing your personal brand, the very thing you want to be known for. It's time to start building a brand you love as a podcaster, a brand that evokes emotion.
Julie Lokun: Your brand should be consistent with your podcast titles and your online presence. We often associate brands with companies and products, like the golden arches of McDonald's or the simple logo of Apple. However, in today's world, anything can be a brand. Even as an individual, you have a personal brand. So, what is your personal brand?
Julie Lokun: Whether you're known for your snaps or still using a typewriter, you have a brand that exists both online and offline. Luckily, there are great tools and resources available to help you build your personal branding process. Utilize them to leave the right impression on people who look you up online.
Julie Lokun: Now, the idea of professional branding versus personal branding may make some people uncomfortable. However, if you don't take control of your personal brand online, you're missing out on opportunities and allowing others to control your narrative. The concepts and processes of branding are applicable to every entrepreneur on the planet, regardless of their specific circumstances and goals.
Julie Lokun: Personal branding is essential because, without a story behind your brand, your podcast or book is just an inanimate object. A story connects with your audience and has the power to bring you and your vision alive. This is why personal branding is an obsession of mine.
Julie Lokun: I often encounter skepticism when I ask the question, "What is your personal brand?" I get responses like, "I don't need personal branding," or, "It seems so narcissistic." The truth is, if you don't control your brand, others will. People make judgments based on how you present yourself. Therefore, you create a personal brand just by existing.
Julie Lokun: Personal branding is an essential cog in the professional branding machine and is the essence of who you are as an entrepreneur. By embracing your brand, you live it intrinsically and extrinsically. Your core values and beliefs are directly reflected in how you present and manage your professional identity. Personal branding and professional branding are one and the same.
your brand.

In this episode, Julie Lokun discusses the world of publishing and provides insights into different publishing options available to authors. She starts by emphasizing the importance of books as marketing tools for entrepreneurs and businesspeople like herself. Julie mentions her own publishing company, The Media Caster's Publishing House, and highlights the team behind it.
She distinguishes between traditional publishing, hybrid publishing, and vanity press. Traditional publishing involves authors submitting manuscripts to literary agents or publishing houses, with publishers carefully selecting manuscripts with market potential. Julie advises authors to be cautious when approaching publishing agents, as legitimate agents should not charge upfront fees. If accepted by a traditional publisher, authors receive a contract covering various aspects such as editing, cover design, marketing, and distribution. Julie emphasizes the need to have someone review the contract and mentions that publishers are not responsible for author branding or publicity.
Hybrid publishing combines elements of traditional and self-publishing. While these publishers may require a financial contribution from authors for book development, cover design, or editing, authors retain a higher percentage of royalties compared to traditional publishing. Professional services such as editing, cover design, and distribution are provided by the publisher.
Self-publishing, the third option discussed, allows authors to have full control over the publishing process. Authors can upload their books to platforms like Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), IngramSpark, or Barnes & Noble. However, Julie strongly recommends investing in professional editing to ensure the book represents the author's brand effectively.
Julie raises concerns about vanity press scams in the publishing industry. Vanity presses charge authors exorbitant fees for subpar or unnecessary services and often hold authors' books hostage. She advises authors to do thorough research, check with the Better Business Bureau, and read reviews before committing to any publishing company. Red flags to watch out for include demands for substantial upfront fees without clear service outlines, hybrid publishers requiring authors to pay for all publishing costs, and promises of instant success in exchange for hefty fees. Julie urges authors to protect their creative work and prioritize their integrity.
She concludes by encouraging aspiring authors to believe in the power of their words and their potential as successful authors. Julie offers her support and invites listeners to reach out to her with any questions or concerns

Whether you're a student, a professional, or someone looking to improve your communication skills, stay tuned as we unravel the secrets to conquering your fear of public speaking. Understanding the Fear of Public Speaking
Public speaking anxiety, also known as glossophobia, is a common fear experienced by many individuals. It is often rooted in a fear of judgment, rejection, or embarrassment. The fear can manifest in various ways, including rapid heartbeat, trembling hands, sweaty palms, and blanking out. Understanding the underlying causes can help us address them effectively.
The Impact of Fear of Public Speaking
The fear of public speaking can have a significant impact on both personal and professional life. It can hinder career growth, limit opportunities for leadership roles, and prevent effective communication with others. Recognizing the negative consequences of this fear can serve as a powerful motivator to overcome it.
Actionable Tips to Overcome the Fear of Public Speaking
- Preparation: One of the best ways to alleviate anxiety is through thorough preparation. Research your topic, create an outline, and practice your speech or presentation multiple times. Familiarity breeds confidence.
- Start small: Begin by speaking in front of a small and supportive audience, such as friends, family, or a local Toastmasters club. Gradually increase the audience size to build up your confidence over time.
- Visualization and positive affirmations: Before your speaking engagement, visualize yourself delivering a successful presentation. Use positive affirmations to reinforce your confidence and belief in your abilities.
- Breathing exercises: Deep breathing exercises can help calm your nerves before speaking. Take slow, deep breaths, hold them for a few seconds, and exhale slowly. Repeat this several times to relax your body and mind.
- Engage the audience: Instead of focusing solely on your fear, shift your attention towards connecting with the audience. Interact with them, ask questions, and encourage participation. Building a connection will help ease anxiety.
- Seek professional help: If your fear of public speaking is severe, consider working with a professional public speaking coach or therapist. They can provide tailored strategies and support to help you overcome your fear.

Attending conferences like VeeCon offers incredible opportunities for personal and professional growth. Beyond gaining knowledge and insights, these events provide an ideal platform to establish positive connections with like-minded individuals. In this article, we explore the importance of creating meaningful relationships at conferences like VeeCon and share practical tips to maximize your networking experience.
Networking #VeeCon #ConferenceConnections
- Setting the Foundation: Preparing for Connection-Building Success
- Before attending VeeCon or any conference, a little preparation goes a long way in ensuring you make the most of your networking opportunities. Follow these steps to set the foundation for fruitful connections:
- Research: Familiarize yourself with the conference agenda, speakers, and attendees. Identify individuals or groups aligned with your interests and goals.
- Set goals: Define your networking objectives. Are you looking for industry insights, potential collaborators, or mentorship? Clear goals will guide your interactions.
- Elevator pitch: Prepare a concise introduction that highlights your background, interests, and what you seek to achieve. Make it memorable, engaging, and authentic.
Engaging in Meaningful Interactions: Quality over Quantity
- At VeeCon, the bustling atmosphere can make it tempting to collect business cards and connect on social media without establishing genuine connections. Instead, focus on quality interactions:
- Active listening: Pay attention to others' stories, opinions, and experiences. Show genuine interest and engage in meaningful conversations.
- Ask open-ended questions: Encourage discussion and allow others to share their expertise. Thought-provoking questions foster deeper connections.
- Share your knowledge: Contribute to conversations by offering insights or solutions to challenges. Establish yourself as a valuable resource.
Leveraging Digital Platforms: Extending Connections Beyond the Event
Technology plays a vital role in maintaining and nurturing connections established at conferences like VeeCon. Utilize digital platforms to expand your network:
- LinkedIn connections: Connect with fellow attendees on LinkedIn, the professional networking hub. Personalize your connection requests and engage in ongoing discussions.
- Social media engagement: Follow conference hashtags, join relevant online communities, and contribute to conversations. Engage with attendees through retweets, comments, and sharing valuable content.
- Follow-up emails: After VeeCon, send personalized emails to those you connected with. Reiterate the points discussed, express gratitude, and propose potential collaboration or further discussions.
Contributing to the Community: Adding Value and Strengthening Relationships
Creating positive connections is not only about what you gain, but also what you give back. Strengthen your connections by being a supportive member of the community:
- Share knowledge and resources: Offer helpful insights, articles, or resources related to your industry or their interests. Be generous with your expertise.
- Attend post-conference meetups: Many conferences organize smaller gatherings or meetups after the event. Take advantage of these opportunities to foster deeper connections in a more intimate setting.

Join us as we talk with superhero Gilbert King- the man who single handily is on a crusade to free innocent man Leo Schofield.
Who is Gilbert King?
Gilbert King is an American author and journalist. He is best known for his book "Devil in the Grove: Thurgood Marshall, the Groveland Boys, and the Dawn of a New America," which won the Pulitzer Prize for General Nonfiction in 2013. The book focuses on the events surrounding a 1949 case in Florida involving four black men who were wrongfully accused of rape and the role that Thurgood Marshall played in their defense.
Gilbert King, the podcast host of Bone Valley, is focused on vindicating Leo Schofield, who was wrongfully convicted of murdering his wife Michelle over 30 years ago
How can an journalist help --Like Gilbert?
Investigative journalists play a crucial role in uncovering and exposing wrongful convictions. They do this by:
- Investigating and reporting on cases where there is evidence of wrongful convictions, such as flawed evidence, coerced or false testimony, or misconduct by law enforcement.
- Bringing attention to these cases and making them more visible to the public, which can lead to increased pressure on the criminal justice system to rectify the situation.
- Working with lawyers and other experts to uncover new evidence, re-examine old evidence, and bring to light previously unknown facts about the case.
- Providing a platform for individuals who have been wrongly convicted to tell their stories and raise awareness about the flaws in the criminal justice system.
Investigative journalism has been instrumental in helping to secure exonerations and bring justice to individuals who have been wrongfully convicted. It helps to keep the criminal justice system accountable and ensure that the rights of the accused are protected.

What is true crime and why are people so obsessed with true crime?
Today this question will be answered with tv true crime stars Detective Chris Anderson and Defense Attorney Fatima Silva of Reasonable Doubt. This crime-fighting duo also has a top podcast called CRIME AND COOKIE JUICE (TRUST US--YOU WILL LOVE THEIR PODCAST).
People are often fascinated by true crime shows because they offer a glimpse into the darker side of human nature, such as motivations behind crimes, and how justice is served. They also can be suspenseful, raise questions and stimulate discussion, and provide a feeling of relief that the viewer is not the one in the dangerous situation being portrayed. Additionally, some people find a sense of satisfaction in trying to solve the crime along with the characters in the show.
Chris and Fatima are the purveyors of justice and understand the national crisis of people who wrongfully convicted of crimes they did not commit.
Wrongful conviction refers to a situation in which a person is found guilty of a crime they did not commit. This can occur due to various factors such as eyewitness misidentification, false confessions, ineffective legal representation, misconduct by law enforcement, or incorrect forensic evidence. The consequences of wrongful convictions can be devastating for the person who has been wrongly accused, and their families, as they can spend years or even decades in prison for a crime they did not commit. It also undermines public confidence in the criminal justice system and has long-lasting impacts on the person’s life after release from prison.

Stop living paycheck to paycheck-stop asking for less than you are worth and start calling your shots and improving your life by 2000%.
We, as professionals, are often chained to the golden handcuffs that corporate America has to offer. You know the scenario, we can't leave our jobs because of security, benefits, and a steady paycheck. Yet the majority of Americans are miserable strapped to their desk and limiting their potential.
In today's episode meet John Cerasani:
www.2000percentraise.com
Business Expert John Cerasani Launches “2000 Percent Raise” Podcast.
John Cerasani’s story is about a self-made man who has found enormous success with multiple business endeavors. The title of the podcast is a nod to a pivotal point in his journey where he left corporate America to work for himself. By putting himself on top of the Org Chart, he was able to not only reap the benefits of increased pay; but also build equity for himself… Not for others. The podcast promises to discuss various lessons he learned along the way, and have an extreme financial focus. All while encouraging listeners to elevate their game and grow.
John built an insurance company from his kitchen table after taking the leap and quitting his job at Arthur J. Gallagher. He was in his late 20’s and also found himself honored with 40 under 40 accolades shortly thereafter. Not even 10 years later, he sold that company into Private Equity for an undisclosed multiple. This building of wealth put him in a position to help entrepreneurs with not only capital infusion, but also business advisement and expertise.

Stop making excuses as to why you are settling for a mediocre business. Devin Johnson, the CEO of Kennected, has every reason in the world to be working minimum wage and caught in a cycle of self-doubt.

Check out Kennected here: https://kennected.org
(FUN FACT: Kennected has ranked on the Inc. 5000 list for 2 years in a row)
More about Devin Johnson:
Devin was born into a household with an absent father struggling with addiction and a sister battling brain cancer. (Devin's sister Jaylen, beat cancer and is thriving). This unstable environment would make many people crumble under the pressure- yet Devin, put on his entrepreneurial hat and got creative. Johnson started selling sneakers, (aka gym shoes) and began his thirst for being his own boss.
Devin took a deep look into different approaches to building a business from scratch and launched his first tradeshow for sneaker enthusiasts. Johnson pushed himself to learn and train himself to be the best at whatever he does. Johnson took his sneaker savvy and applied it to building a Saas empire with his flagship business, Kennected, a LinkedIn Lead Generator. Kennected is a powerful platform to create quality leads for professionals.
Devin approaches life with a fearless outlook and the determination to succeed with grace and appreciation.

Dan Martell is a CEO you need to know! Dan leads unicorn billion-dollar companies like Udemy and Hootsuite to build and strengthen their businesses. About Dan's books:
Build a Business Empire While Living Your Best Life? It’s possible.
BUY BACK YOUR TIME teaches readers how to conquer the biggest hurdle to scaling a company and growing rich: Time
In his new book BUY BACK YOUR TIME: Get unstuck, reclaim your freedom and build your empire, Dan Martell, one of the world’s most sought-after business coaches, shows readers how to scale their business, fast, while avoiding burnout. Trading money for time—that is, literally buying back free space in their calendar—will bring them more success than they ever thought possible, while simultaneously reducing stress and maximizing happiness.
He wrote this book after successfully scaling and exiting three startups, building two 8-figure businesses, completing several ironmans, traveling the world, and gaining valuable time back in his calendar. But it didn’t come without colossal failures.
"Having coached thousands of entrepreneurs from across the world, I noticed something profound: most founders work unnecessarily long hours. They were taught to believe that more time working = more money in the bank," explains Martell. "I've been there myself while struggling to build several businesses and learned the hard way -- I lost touch with myself, my loved ones, and a failed engagement, all for the sake of getting ahead.”
But ‘getting ahead’ is the biggest fallacy. The idea that the more you work, the more you can achieve makes some sense, but when working takes over every aspect of your life and you start to hate your company, that’s when it becomes a dangerous obsession. Martell hit rock bottom in these moments, coming home after another long day of work to find his fiancé standing at the front door, bags packed, ring in hand—leaving him because he was more engaged with his work than her.
In the formative years that followed, Martell stumbled upon his key to happiness: Time with his family and doing the things he loves, all while successfully growing his businesses. The secret?
Making the mindset shifts and creating systems necessary to engage in high-value work that brings energy and fulfillment.
In BUY BACK YOUR TIME, you will learn:
- How to calculate your Buyback Rate so you can start buying back time immediately
- Why playbooks need to be the foundation of your business, and how to create them
- When to employ time hacks, such as the “Definition of Done” and the “$50 Magic Pill,” to help your team work more efficiently, prevent bottlenecks, and guard your energy
- The secret to engineering your perfect week – and then, your perfect year – to ensure you’re fully focused on what matters most
- The Replacement Ladder steps you need to climb to become an Empire Builder
If you find yourself dreading work – because you know you have a stack of emails to respond to, new fires to put out, and a dozen clients, customers, and employees waiting to dump work on your lap – and then dreading coming home – because you’re exhausted, stressed, and still thinking about all that’s left at work – then this book is for you. BUY BACK YOUR TIME is the definitive guide for entrepreneurs at every level on how to succeed in business while enjoying more freedom than you ever imagined. Learn to conquer the one real hurdle to scaling your company and growing rich: Time.
About Dan Martell
Dan Martell is an entrepreneur, angel investor, thought leader, and highly sought-after coach in the SaaS, or software as a service, industry. He founded, scaled, and successfully exited three technology companies within a ten-year period. In 2012 he was named Canada’s top angel investor, having invested in more than 50 start-ups, such as Intercom, Udemy, and Unbounce. In 2016, Martell founded the SaaS Academy and grew it to become one of the largest coaching companies in the world with over 1000+ active clients.
Check out my FAVORITE PLACE To MAKE MERCH! (FOR FREE)! Printful
Today we're talking about merch. Why make merch? Merch is so powerful to create brand recognition. If you're already doing something, if you're a podcaster, an author, a business owner, or an entrepreneur, merch is so important. You get to share everything you love in a t-shirt or a hat, a hoodie, or a mug.
It's so important that you create visibility and when people love your merch, they wear it, they use it, and the visibility becomes exponential. That's right. We believe in merch.
Let's talk about merch. What can it look like? It can look like a beautiful t-shirt that you designed on Canva and then upload to something like Printy or Printful on Fire or even Teespring. These are four ways that you can create on-demand merch, and you don't have to pay for anything. Yes, you need to have a website, but.
Let's start making some merch. A little dive into how I do my merch thing. What do I do? I have an idea. So let's just take one of my podcasts. Obsessed. Obsessed is a great word. People love using the word obsessed. Why not make a 📍 t-shirt, a hoodie, a hat that says obsessed? I design my merch with the obsessed logo, and then 📍 I go over to Printful.
I use Printful. I love Printful because it's on-demand shipping. You don't need to spend any money, any money. All you have to do is upload your logo or design, and place it on your item, whether it be a clothing item, a mug, or a water bottle. Flip flops, anything you want, and then you upload it. If you have a store on Shopify or Etsy or even your website, you can integrate this merch into your whole marketing program.
It's a marketing program that people forget about and you can make money while you sleep. Don't we all like to make money while we sleep? For sure. Let's do it. So I want you to start thinking about merch. I'm going to put all the links in the notes below so you can click on it. You can check it out, but it is an easy way to bring an active stream of income or passive into your business.
Create visibility. It's just a no-brainer, Let's start making some merch!
Reach out to me with questions on how to do it. My favorite way is to create merchandise. Create swag that represents your brand. Be sure in your brand and don't ever forget and don't stop kicking it.

Gosh, I adore the life of an entrepreneur-it is the space where a free spirit like myself can soar—or maybe sink. Entrepreneurship is a complex mixture of delicious creativity and frightful experiences with the unknown. And, entrepreneurship is all ME!
I know the roller coaster of building a thriving business- and I know that you have to spend money to make money–yet- I love myself some freebies. I sincerely believe that there are amazing tools out there on the internet that have helped me grow and scale my business. Several years ago, I was so ignorantly brave–that I decided to start a coaching business with no cash in my pocket. All I wanted to do was help others. I had a master's in coaching and the excitement that rivals a little girl on Christmas morning. I remember telling my husband, I should probably be ashamed of myself-but if he ever made me choose between my coaching career and his–it would be a hard decision. Of course, I would choose him. This is just to make the point that when I started my first business, which grossed over 6 figures in the first year- it was because I was so passionate about what I was doing.
I was met with a lot of Nos, tire kickers, and stressful situations-yet- I would not have it any other way. Do not be fooled by thinking you do not need to invest in your new business- but be SMART!
I have done the research and tested out tools on the internet that are free or low cost and I want to pass on these tips to my brothers and sisters who are looking to step up their own entrepreneurial game. So here ya go– my top free faves—

Meet musician Colin Stetson the composer for the new movie "The Menu", starring Ralph Fiennes. Stetson masters the art of melding his multi-instrument mastery into one incredible score. Colin talks all things business and being a music maestro.
The score for The Menu is an evolution from any other score Stetson has done in the past. The string-forward and percussive music uses grotesque soundscapes and motifs to mirror the psychosis of the main character (Ralph Fiennes).
As the narrative builds, Stetson creates unique musical moments, some given only at a specific time and place, and others that weave a thread throughout the film. Rather than creating character themes, he created a theme for the menu that interacts with characters, giving the menu a sense of self; an off-kilter pretension that instigates discomfort in the listener.
The film’s concept allowed Stetson to use eccentric and experimental instrumentation: playing glasses with chopsticks, hitting tuning forks on Tibetan bowls, using pans as percussion; making the score fit the environment while keeping it separate from the diegetic sounds of the kitchen. He uses his own undulus vocals which clone the full orchestra of strings.
“From my first reading of the script to our last moments on the mix stage, my experience creating the music on this film has been an absolute joy, as the themes, refrains, and aesthetic have seemed to jump right off of the page and screen for me with every brilliant turn of phrase, perfect edit, and wickedly delivered performance. It is pure pleasure working with such an incredible team and I am truly grateful for the whole of it,” says Stetson.
A couple (Anya Taylor-Joy and Nicholas Hoult) travels to a coastal island to eat at an exclusive restaurant where the chef (Ralph Fiennes) has prepared a lavish menu, with some shocking surprises.

Start selling (with dignity) and making money with expert Harry Spaight. Harry Spaight is the author of the best-selling book, Selling With Dignity. Harry teaches us all about shedding the shame of selling and learning how to monetize our business with passion and purpose.
In the world of sales, there are all kinds of tactics and strategies. What is the latest and greatest strategy to get people to buy our wares? Is it sales automation? Artificial Intelligence? Selling is getting to be more and more challenging. The pressure is on. Companies are spending untold sums of money to grow their businesses. Salespeople are being viewed as robots who are mechanically calling and emailing with little to no relationship building. Accountants are looking at spreadsheets of activity and view the craft of sales as something that can be achieved as simply doing a task. Why are some successful and others are not? They do not understand the nuances of personality, relationships, and the skills required to bring in new business.
Customers and clients desire to be treated well. Many prefer to bypass people altogether and buy what they need without human interaction. Who can be trusted these days? There are all kinds of scams, misrepresentations, and con artists taking advantage of people. People at their core prefer to do business with people who can be trusted, who do what is right and put others' interests over their own. But where are these types of salespeople? Many salespeople are only thinking about their own livelihood and quotas. They aren't thinking about service to others. They often don't even have the time to serve others after they sell their product or service and they have already moved on to the next customer (victim).
Selling With Dignity takes a different approach. Instead of viewing people as numbers and machines, salespeople can be dignified in their approach. Selling is an honorable profession when it is done right. When sellers feel they are valuable and have integrity and respect, this opens the door for better conversations and eventually relationships. This book puts an end to sleazy sales tactics and proves Selling With Dignity can be done and it leads to massive success.

Can you write a book in 5 days? Evan Carmichael says YES! When you are in the free flow of creativity, it is important to keep the momentum going.
Do you ever find yourself feeling stuck? You have the heart, talent, and abilities – but you can't seem to get moving for some reason. No matter how much you try, you can't seem to get the momentum you need to achieve your goals.
If this sounds familiar, don't worry – you're not alone. In today's world, we are constantly bombarded with messages that tell us we need to do more, be more, and have more. Many of us overthink, over plan, and over strategize. We want everything to be perfect.
However, sometimes this quest for perfection can be our downfall. We can get so caught up in the planning and execution that we lose momentum. We think we need to have everything perfect before we start. But the reality is that momentum is more important than perfection.
So if you're waiting for the perfect moment to start, Evan Carmichael joins us again for the first of a two-part episode to tell you that it's time to start now. Time to take the first step and to begin the journey to becoming the person you want to be. With momentum, Evan finished his latest book, Momentum, in just five days and got it published on the eighth day!
Evan believes that entrepreneurs can be successful on their own terms. While dealing with some failures and problems, Evan was still able to find success at a young age and now runs a highly successful YouTube channel, is an author of four books, and is recognized by Forbes as a renowned speaker on leadership and social media. Evan is working to solve the world's biggest problem of people not believing in themselves enough through good karma projects and initiatives that have the potential to impact a billion people.
What You Will Learn From This Episode
02:01 - Keeping the momentum going
04:12 - Writing and publishing Momentum in a span of eight days
07:21 - Why Momentum?
10:56 - Doing something with your ideas
14:21 - Spending your time on something at the beginning
15:56 - Staying consistent with the momentum
21:06 - The wisdom of successful and inspirational people, like Maya Angelou

Do you use LinkedIn? Are you struggling with quality leads and building a business you are proud of? If so, you need to meet Cody Harvey, the co-founder of Kennected- a powerhouse in sales enablement software. Cody is an unlikely CEO and today, you will get a glimpse into the unlikely CEO who is driving sales and driving true connections.
Cody Harvey, 32, one of the founders of Kennected, is hard to quantify in a Silicon Valley-CEO type of way. It is hard to fit this country -boy-done-good into a proverbial box. Harvey, an entrepreneurial phenom, who, less than a decade ago perfected the art of couch surfing with $1 to his name, is reimagining the digital tech world in an old-fashioned way.
Kennected, an Indiana-based tech company, led by Harvey and his self-proclaimed merry band of rogue Millenials are rethinking what tech should look like. Kennected is a sales enablement company that specializes in outreach & prospecting tools around LinkedIn and has made the Inc. 5000 list again. For 2022, Kennected landed at #438.
Harvey’s journey from LA Fitness Manger to multi-million dollar CEO of one of the fastest growing tech companies in the US is built on the foundation that a hearty handshake and eye-to-eye connection, is the trajectory to build an empire. Harvey is commanding corporate brilliance in an old-fashioned way, reminiscent of the 20th-century tycoon, Cornelius Vanderbilt. Vanderbilt built his fortune in the railroads and was not an originator of daring, untried experiments; he was not fond of radical steps. His temperament was conservative. He steadied the new frontier of Corporate America by championing solid, substantial growth.
How is Cody doing things differently?
Cody, along with his 5 partners, understands the power of a handshake. Snuggled in the warm embrace of Midwest cultural norms, Harvey, does not reject the direction Silicon Valley takes corporate environments. In fact, the home office in Indianapolis gives a fervent nod to the laissez-faire constructs of Google, Apple, and Microsoft. Kennected allows its employees to embrace the power of autonomy by personalizing the trajectory of AI.
Cody is daring greatly as he is launching his brainchild, BREAKOUT, a social audio app that caters to creatives who understand the power of their voice. Breakout is a unique tool that will allow creatives, podcasters and entrepreneurs to monetize on a social audio platform.

In today's episode we are welcoming John Watkis, the voice you cannot forget. His dulcite voice and commanding presence is taking the world by storm. John Watkis is an award-winning performer, voiceover artist, professional speaker, and high-stakes performance coach. He is the author of Speaking Notes: The Eight Essential Elements to Make Your Speech Music to Their Ears, and was the first Canadian-born actor to play the role of Mufasa onstage in the Disney musical, The Lion King.
John's 2 top tips in professional communications are:
- Play chess when you communicate.
- Use your own stories to stand out and be memorable.
Understand what you want people to remember when they leave your talk. John understands the juxtaposition of the cadence of music and the repetitive nature of the chorus. John is a prolific teacher and speaks to hungry students who are looking to take their speaking careers to the next level. What makes John's story even more powerful is that he is hearing impaired. Yes, you heard it right, this professional speaker who commands stages and the audience has profound hearing loss.
There are 4 types of hearing loss:
- Conductive Hearing Loss
- Hearing loss is caused by something that stops sounds from getting through the outer or middle ear. This type of hearing loss can often be treated with medicine or surgery.
- Sensorineural Hearing Loss
- Hearing loss occurs when there is a problem in the way the inner ear or hearing nerve works.
- Mixed Hearing Loss
- Hearing loss includes both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
- Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder
- Hearing loss that occurs when sound enters the ear normally, but because of damage to the inner ear or the hearing nerve, sound isn’t organized in a way that the brain can understand.
John is paving the way to encourage anyone with a disability to fight for their dreams.

What is public relations? Public Relations is the relationship your brand builds with the public.
We are guessing some of you have hired PR agents, and PR companies to create a buzz about you and your brand, and your message.
How is that working for you? Are you intentionally working on creating real relationships with journalists and the media Social media fails? Yes. Social media is a noisy environment and simply adding more posts to your Instagram, LinkedIn TikTok, and Twitter. It does not always work. It's important to have an online presence. It's important to have an online presence. So when you are Googled, people can find you. the ability to get meaningful stories amplified through social media is a place where you get drowned out.
You need to create relationships with journalists and the media. Do the research again, research is a big thing. Do the research. Start by reaching out to journalists. You can reach out to those journalists that like to cover stories involving a person like you and start compiling a list who is a local journalist that just eats up stories that are targeted and in alignment with your brand.
Journalists do not like to read long-winded pitches. In fact, your pitch should be about 150 to about 400 words long, make it powerful, and put all your links in there.

Dr. Laura has, for decades, pushed the envelope in speaking her truth. As she was a regular contributor to the Oprah Winfrey show, she opened millions of peoples eyes to topics like sex, relationships and love. In 2021, her mission shifted.
Dr. Laura is living proof that in moments of deep pain it is possible to experience flickers of joy. Her testimony and her years of research were met with a collision of unimaginable darkness that defies this world’s natural order of existence. On February 7, 2021, Dr. Laura walked into her sixteen-year-old son’s bedroom to have a chat with him and found him lying on the floor aspirating. Despite a valiant effort from medical responders, he remained listless and unresponsive. That moment was the demarcation of a new way of existing. On that heartbreaking day, Dr. Laura began a life that was void of the earthly connection to the child who infused laughter and joy into her life.
Dr. Laura immediately accessed her default mode. By nature, she is a helper, and through her blinding pain, she knew she had to reach out to help others. She understood that her celebrity status could help spare other mothers the pain of losing a child. Within hours, she had shared her story on social media.
“My beautiful boy is gone. 16 years old. Sheltering at home. A drug dealer connected with him on Snapchat and gave him fentanyl-laced Xanax or Percocet (toxicology will tell) and he overdosed in his room. They do this because it hooks people even more and is good for business but It causes overdose and the kids don’t know what they are taking. My heart is completely shattered and I am not sure how to keep breathing. I post this now only so that not one more kid dies. We watched him so closely. "
True Crime Junkies Unite! In this episode, we are talking to Detective Chris Anderson and Fatima Silva the cast of reality show Reasonable Doubt. Their mission is to uncover the story of those incarcerated for murder.
Meet the stars of the HIT SHOW Reasonable Doubt on the Investigation Discovery Channel. Former Detective Chris Anderson and Fatima Silva are the stars of the incredible true crime show that is unveiling the stories behind those incarcerated for homicide.
Motive, Method, and means are critical in understanding the guilt or innocence of a murderer. Anderson and Silva talk to the loved ones of those behind the bars and dig deeper into the past investigations.
This episode runs on the heels of our amazing conversation with The Homicide Hunter, Joe Kenda.
Chris Anderson and Fatima Silva are partners who are obsessed with taking the stories of convicted killers and proving or disproving their guilt. Seeking justice drives this duo to change the landscape and minds of viewers of horrific criminal acts.
The show, Reasonable Doubt, does not angle to be judge or jury, but rather looks at the evidence in a new fresh way. Investigation Discovery hales the mission-based work of Anderson and Silva:
All too often, innocent people fall through the cracks of the justice system. These judicial missteps leave families devastated with doubt and paralyzed by unanswered questions about their convicted loved one. Determined to uncover the truth of these questionable convictions, retired homicide detective Chris Anderson and criminal defense attorney Fatima Silva return for a fourth season of REASONABLE DOUBT. With 10 all-new cases, Anderson and Silva use their resources, collective expertise, and objective investigative lens to re-examine controversial murder cases throughout the country to ensure that the right person is behind bars for the crime committed.
After their thorough investigation, Anderson and Silva review the evidence with the family to either present the chance for an appeal, or confront them with the crushing truth that their loved one may have been rightfully convicted of murder. Appeal or acceptance? Either way, this due-process-duo finds the truth, with their revelations pushing families toward an emotional reckoning with reality.
New Episodes of Reasonable Doubt can be seen on Tuesdays on The Investigation Discovery Channel.

That show is Homicide Hunter: Never Give Up. He also has a second show, American Detective, entering its 3rd season. Both shows are available on ID through DiscoverPlus.com.

32:48 How and why Joe Kenda got into TV shows from AMERICAN DETECTIVE to HOMICIDE HUNTER on the ID / Discoveryplus.com
About LT. JOE KENDA
Lt. Joe Kenda, a 23-year veteran of the Colorado Springs Police Department, spent 21 years chasing killers as a homicide detective and commander of the major crimes unit. Kenda and his team solved 356 of his 387 homicide cases, getting a 92 percent solve rate—one of the highest in the country. After retiring from law enforcement, he starred in “Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda,” an American true-crime documentary series that ran for nine seasons on Investigation Discovery (ID), and is now in premieres of season three of “American Detective with Lt. Joe Kenda,” both available for streaming on discovery+. He has written two books, "I Will Find You" and "Killer Triggers.”
About LT. Joe Kenda's Successful TV Shows And This New Feature-length Special:
(New York, NY) – During HOMICIDE HUNTER’s nine seasons on ID, Lt. Joe Kenda captivated viewers with stories from the hundreds of murder cases he solved throughout his 23-year-long career. Now, Lt. Kenda returns to ID to put to rest more cases that kept him up at night with three theatrical-length HOMICIDE HUNTER specials, revealing chilling new details of career-defining cases. With his gruff voice and no-nonsense demeanor, Kenda leads viewers through labyrinthine cases that have plagued him for years, with the first two-hour special focused on the investigation of a female soldier whose killer was a shadow in the night for decades. HOMICIDE HUNTER: NEVER GIVE UP premieres on ID on Wednesday, August 17 from 9-11PM ET/PT, debuting on the heels of an all-new season of AMERICAN DETECTIVE WITH LT. JOE KENDA, which airs on Wednesdays at 10PM ET/PT on ID. Both are available to stream the same day on discovery+.
“Since I joined the network, we at ID have wanted to bring the HOMICIDE HUNTER brand back to our air. Unfortunately, we had told all the stories we could possibly tell from Kenda’s incredible history of cases…until now. Thanks to advances in science, Joe has finally been able to close cases that have remained unsolved for decades,” said Jason Sarlanis, President of Crime and Investigative Content, Linear and Streaming.
This week, Corinna Bellizzi finally nails Julie Lokun down to talk about her recent co-authored book, Bookcasters: An Author's Guide To Writing A Bestselling Book. They talk about the book as a resource for the community, and even offer it up FOR FREE as a PDF download.

Do you have a fear of speaking? Join us today to dig deep with Evan Carmichael on the topic of getting over our fears. Stop living a good life and start living a GREAT life. There are a lot of things that you can do to be good. But what does it take to be great? That's one of the things that we'll delve into in this second part of an obsessed-filled episode featuring Evan Carmichael.
Many people aspire to goodness, but few aspire to greatness. Why is this? Is it because they don't believe they have what it takes? Or is it because they don't know what it takes? It is often said that failure is the key to success. This may be true, but it is also important to remember that greatness can come from failure.
It's not enough to be good at something to be great. You must be passionate about it and willing to put in the hard work to get there. In this episode, we'll explore with Evan what it takes to go from being good at something to being great at it, in addition to digging deeper introspectively with the insights about belief and grief from last week's episode!
Evan believes that entrepreneurs can be successful on their own terms. While dealing with some failures and problems, Evan was still able to find success at a young age and now runs a highly successful YouTube channel, is an author of four books, and is recognized by Forbes as a renowned speaker on leadership and social media. Evan is working to solve the world's biggest problem of people not believing in themselves enough through good karma projects and initiatives that have the potential to impact a billion people.
What You Will Learn From This Episode:
00:53 - Too much cannot be a good enough reason
03:59 - Limiting your talents when it could be greater
05:54 - Going after the greatness
10:58 - Stressing over things while grieving
11:50 - Failing to accomplish your goals and dancing towards success
16:39 - Knowing exactly what you don’t want

Energy Vampires are everywhere. They take and take and take and you are left depleted and exhausted. Today is the day you start saying no to the energy vampires in your lives. You need to take the reigns of your energy and reach out to get poured into it.
Learn About Omega-3s: With Orlo Nutrition
What is an energy vampire? How can you recognize one? Relationships are always an energy exchange. Accoriding to Dr. Judith Orloff, to stay feeling our best, we must ask ourselves: Who gives us energy? Who saps it? It’s important to be surrounded by supportive, heart-centered people who make us feel safe and secure. It’s equally important to pinpoint the energy vampires, who, whether they intend to or not, leech our energy.
Positive energy in others can be rejuvenating. For instance, you’re nervous about a job interview, but the minute you meet your prospective boss you relax. He’s so calm and welcoming, you calm down too. Or perhaps you have a good friend around whom you always feel loved. These energy-givers are people to treasure. The more you surround yourself with positive people, the more you will attract them. In your life, these are people you must gravitate towards. Having a circle of positive people around you can also repel energy vampires. Positive attracts positive. Negative attracts negative. So, your conscious actions in choosing relationships can make a huge difference in your energy level and the quality of your life!

Get to know the genius behind the successful podcast, Motorcycles & Misfits. Liza Miller started this podcast back in 2013 in the co-op motorcycle garage she runs in Santa Cruz, California, the Re-Cycle Garage. What started as a passionate conversation with a few misfits after turning a wrench on a Sunday afternoon has become a popular podcast that will clear its 500th episode and over 3 million listens this year.
Motorcycles & Misfits is an inclusive haven for passionate motorcyclists of every stripe, age, and walk of life. You'll hear about Liza, Miss Emma, Bagel, Stumpy John, and other Re-cycle Garage Misfits. You'll learn how she grew her podcast through attending events, recording on location, selling merch, and getting excellent guests on her show. From stunt riders like Gary Davis who jumped his motorcycle more successfully than Evel Knievel himself, to Hollywood celebrities like Norman Reedus of Walking Dead and Boondock Saints. Norman Reedus even included their band of misfits on the first episode of his motorcycle focused TV show, Ride with Norman Reedus.

It was an episode that was almost lost due to technical difficulties, offering Liza and her crew a few lessons about using new, untested technology for an important recording. You'll fall in love with the show, and really want to add their podcast to your queue. Check it out here:

Meet the original Maverick (a nod to the blockbuster movie Top Gun), Rear Admiral Garry E. Hall. Garry has lived a life on the edge, as a famed helicopter pilot in the US Navy. He has combined a lifetime of experience in leadership with a newer career in media. Above anything, Garry knows that his first priority is his family, and remaining a humble contributor who comes from a service-first perspective.

In short, we love Admiral Garry and so will you!

Meet the two-time Emmy-Award nominated photographer, producer, and livestreaming afficionado, Tom Langan. Tom may have the nicest equipment of any podcaster that Corinna & Jules have yet interviewed, and he'll tell you all about what makes his gear stand out during our interview. For a deeper dive into the technology, and to see his video setup -- you'll want to tune in to this full-length, unedited interview on YouTube. The audio-only version is roughly 1/2 the length, given that no visuals are included and some of this interview would have been difficult to grasp in the audio-only version. As a whole, the YouTube interview trended very technical -- so if you're an A/V nerd, trust us, and head over to YouTube!
00:00 Introduction to Tom Langan
05:45 Tom's camera setup (for his webcam) Sony A7iii with Sigma 35mm F1.4 lens (it's $$$$ pricey but beautiful)
09:00 Getting the angle right for your webcam
14:50 Use what you have, but you can also upgrade "on the cheap"
16:20 Tom's "nickel tour" of his career story - how he became an Emmy-nominated photographer and producer
20:30 Summing it up
You can view the unedited, much longer interview on YouTube, and see Tom's setup visually by visiting our YouTube channel. The direct link to his interview is here: https://youtu.be/J6K7HwkW6rY

In November 2021, with her business bestie, Julie Lokun, she co-founded The Mediacasters, a podcast, and community that elevates the voices of people and supports their journeys through podcasting, publishing, and public speaking.

Building a movement takes organization, inspiration, intuition, luck, and a lot of hard work. Rhiannon Menn is the founder and CEO of Lasagna Love, a grass-roots not-for-profit organization that engages and supports communities across the United States, and which has launched a viral movement during the Covid-19 pandemic. She joins Corinna & Jules to talk about the power of community, leveraging tools like Facebook groups and Zapier, and the importance of asking for help when you need it.
You'll hear how her volunteer organization leveraged their volunteers and the talents of students from her alma mater, MIT, to build an algorithm that would enable them scale their business and grow. Rhiannon even shares some news, including how using TikTok has helped Lasagna Love gain exposure and raise funds (with no strings attached) from an unlikely source, Kentucky Fried Chicken. As of the recording of this podcast, 215,000 lasagnas have been baked and delivered to people in need across the United States.

About Rhiannon Menn:
Rhiannon Menn is a mama, chef, and adventurer. She loves decaf coffee, traveling, and super fuzzy sweaters - which she unfortunately can no longer wear since she left New England. After the birth of her second child she had an epiphany: when she took good care of herself, she was much better at taking care of those around her. She founded Good to Mama as a way of changing the narrative about what it means to be a mom. In 2020, prompted by the COVID-related struggles of families in her community and her own feeling of helplessness, she founded Lasagna Love. A platform that connects neighbors for home-cooked meal delivery, Lasagna Love has transformed into a national movement of kindness, impacting thousands of volunteers and recipient families each week.
Rhiannon is a graduate of Berkshire Community College, Brown University, and MIT Sloan, and is a StartingBloc fellow and Siebel Scholar. She has been featured on the Today Show, the Kelly Clarkson Show, in the Washington Post, and on SouthernLiving.com. She lives in Kihei, HI with her husband, three children, and is relentlessly petitioning for a cat. You can find her online at www.begoodtomama.com and www.lasagnalove.org, or on Instagram @begoodtomama.

Have you ever thought about what it would take to have a radio show? Join Jules & Corinna as they connect with John "Jay" Wiley, host and producer of Law Enforcement Today and the Law Enforcement Today Podcast Network. You'll learn how he moved from hosting a podcast that was coupled with a thriving Facebook group to terrestrial radio in his first 10 episodes. What is terrestrial radio, you might ask? You know, spaces you tune in "on the dial" on AM/FM -- and these days some even lump "terrestrial" and "satellite" together in one pot (satellite = Sirius XM). You'll discover how John "Jay" Wiley is even connected to Oprah, and hear his thoughts on what it takes to truly "make it" in broadcast media like podcasting, radio, YouTube and beyond.
You'll also get a "tease" of a new podcast that Jules & Corinna are launching on 4/22/22!
About Our Guest:
Introducing John “Jay” Wiley... His friends call him Jay (and that means you can too). While people like to use terms like radio personality, or broadcaster, he prefers the old school terminology of DJ. Prior to starting his career in radio he was a member of the Baltimore Police Department. As an officer he worked in the Northwest District of Baltimore in Patrol, Operations, and Plainclothes Drug Enforcement Unit. He was detailed to the DEA Task Force in the Baltimore Office for more than a year investigating drug distribution gangs in the Baltimore/Washington area. He was promoted to sergeant at which time he was assigned to the Central District and then the Northwest District. His career in the Baltimore Police Department was cut short by a disastrous line of duty hand injury. Sadly, after multiple surgeries, he was retired, and then successfully pivoted to the world of broadcast / terrestrial radio (and now podcasting). Jay is the host and producer of the Law Enforcement Today Podcast, with new episodes out each Monday.
00:00 Introductions & What to expect in today's episode (including a surprise "tease" or two)
08:30 Meet John J. Wiley, host of Law Enforcement Today Podcast
13:00 Super niche podcast success with 2 examples: Motorcycles & Misfits and Supercar Blondie
15:15 How Jay grew his podcast, expanding his reach through terrestrial broadcasting radio (syndicated on AM/FM in 81 markets)
20:00 To bleep or not to bleep (on cuss words, brand names, and the FCC)
22:40 Monetizing Law Enforcement Today through sponsorships based on audience size / reach (radio reach of 24M in addition to podcast)
25:00 The importance of having BIG dreams and working HARD to reach them
27:30 On avoiding podfade and what it takes to make it in podcasting (including perspectives from Tracy Hazzard of Podetize, Liza Miller of Motorcycles & Misfits)
29:00 The importance of visualizing your audience -- putting them FIRST
32:00 On meeting Oprah, working hard, and being authentically you
35:18 Paying it forward by building a network: Law Enforcement Today Podcast Network (it's free to join)
38:30 Successful podcasts that have recently sold: Call Her Daddy hosted by Alex Cooper & LORE, hosted by Aaron Mahnke
42:20 Get a "tease" of an upcoming show Corinna & Jules are launching on 4/22/22 to help you discover your next favorite podcasts!

From The Obsessed Podcast:
There is nothing worse than a know-it-all, (you know the kind of person that thinks they are correct all of the time).In today's episode, we ask the question: How can I lead my best life by using the power of curiosity? Curiosity is the lynchpin in building creating great leaders, avoiding conflict, and changing the neuroplasticity of our brains. We are joined by the Obsessed bestie, Corinna Bellizzi, who explains how curiosity can solve most of the world's problems.
The #obsessedpodcast is OBSESSED with Brene Brown and her latest book "Atlas of The Heart". Brene defines curiosity as:
Curiosity is the feeling of deprivation we experience when we identify and focus on a gap in our knowledge. •
We need to have some level of awareness and interest in a topic before we become truly curious. •
When we are curious, the brain is primed to learn and retain information.
• Curiosity can be uncomfortable because it requires uncertainty and vulnerability.
• Curiosity is about listening and asking the right questions.
• “Tell me more” is a great curiosity rumble tool.
• In the context of solving problems, failure to be curious results in poor solutions. Curiosity means focusing on the nature of the problem before even considering a solution.
• Curiosity and knowledge-building grow together—the more we know, the more we want to know.

Did you know that 5 million people are diagnosed with epilepsy each year? In this week’s episode, you’ll hear an inspirational story as Corinna & Jules are joined by Bailey Sinkus, a 16-year-old girl with epilepsy who rises above her challenges each day. Many will undoubtedly relate to her scholastic challenges, as reading and math are harder for her given her differently-abled life. But Bailey Sinkus does not let this reality keep her down. She serves fearlessly as the captain of her track team. She competes in hurdles and other Olympic-level competitive events. And now she’s sharing her voice to inspire others who have been diagnosed with epilepsy. Get to know Bailey, and I’m sure you’ll understand how she’s already become a rising star on TikTok — and a post on her dad’s Linkedin page even went viral!

Meet podcasting legends, life partners, and transformation coaching team Mieke and JC Doornick (a.k.a Chicken and Dragon) as we discuss getting started podcasting with very basic tools, and a simple desire to have your voice heard. Mieke (Chicken) provides commentary on the power of podcasting to connect with niche audiences, and how perfectionism can hold you back. JC (Dragon) brings balance to the equation, discussing the importance of delegation, and how not being perfect can still result in growth. While in a perfect world, content and quality are both important, focusing on content, message, and consistency are more important over the long term.
Together we have a deep conversation about the mental health of podcasters and of the general public. Mieke shares her knowledge about acute stress, PTSD, the Pandemic, and how isolation is causing anxiety, creating a greater need to build and maintaining connection with one another. We learn how JC conquered his anxiety of public speaking with what Mieke points out is essentially "exposure therapy".
We even get a peek behind the curtain of the healthy relationship that Mieke and JC built, from the cute stories of how they became known as Chicken and Dragon to their daily commitments to spend personal time together, conversing and connecting as they begin and end each day technology-free.
Dr. JC Doornick “Dragon” comes from a fascinating life and family history full of pioneers in the entertainment industry and professional athletes. Later in life becoming a servant to the people as a Doctor of Chiropractic and Cofounder of a worldwide Humanitarian relief organization serving the third world with health, education, housing and food.
Dragon frequently takes the stage and speaks to live audiences upwards of 11,000. With their two sons and adopted daughter “Duckie” they travel the world creating memories and seeking adventure and experiences. The Dragon represents that version of yourself you don’t believe is possible and the RISE UP WITH DRAGON PODCAST is all about unlocking and freeing people from their programmed mental prisons and back on track dreaming big. You can look forward to bigger and better things including the world’s greatest story ever told in the release of his upcoming book.
Mieke Doornick, “Mee-kah”, aka (Chicken 🐔) is a master’s level student at Northwestern University and is currently working towards her qualification as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). Mieke holds a BA degree in Drama from The South African School of Motion Picture Medium (AFDA) in South Africa and trained as a professional actor and voice-over artist at both The New York Conservatory for Dramatic Arts (NYCDA) in New York and The British American Drama Academy (BADA) in London. After graduating, Mieke moved to South Korea where she became the head of the English department at Dongducheon Sincheon Elementary School. She taught both English and Performing Arts to students in grades one through six.
She strives to establish a sincere and dependable environment for the clients she serves by encouraging a trusting, personalized, and collaborative space. She applies a strengths-based, person-centered approach embedded in a psychodynamic framework, but also has a substantial interest in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) – a form of therapy which concentrates on acceptance, emotional regulation, and strengthening skills to cope with challenging situations. She is a member of both the American Counseling Association (ACA) and The Association for Creativity in Counseling (ACC).
For the past three years, Mieke has practiced as a certified health and transformation coach, and together with her husband, is currently expanding their health coaching company to Singapore and Hong Kong.

Meet the co-founder and CEO of Loomly, Thibaud Clément, who built Loomly as a romantic gesture for his wife, Noemie. Together they created a social media management tool with creators in mind. Loomly became the chosen platform for Corinna & Jules for Femcasters and their other podcasts too! In this episode you hear their perspectives on why this particular tool stands out for creators, and why they chose not to go with Sprout Social, Hubspot or other platforms. You're invited to think about what you use Social Media for, and how to get the most out of your efforts on each platform, no matter your focus.
About Thibaud Clément:
Thibaud Clement is the Co-Founder of Loomly. Together with his spouse and business partner, Noemie, Clement has launched four successful e-commerce, agency and technology businesses. A self-taught programmer, Clement initially developed Loomly’s collaborative marketing software as an in-house solution to help his team streamline digital content creation and publishing.
Encouraged by feedback from clients and peers, Loomly grew into a standalone entity in 2016. The distributed company, which has operated with a fully remote staff since its founding, currently serves thousands of marketing teams worldwide, consistently achieving a triple-digit annual revenue growth rate.
After graduating from Grenoble Ecole de Management, France and the University of Ottawa, Canada, in 2011, Clément traveled around the world for one year to study innovative business models and published a book about entrepreneurship and business, “Se Lancer Sans Attendre.” He is a frequent guest on podcasts focused on marketing, e-commerce and the future of work, in addition to being a regular contributor to numerous industry publications.

You'll discover how Podfest Expo is now one of the largest events in the universe of podcasting, integrating international communities with both their in-person and virtual events. They discuss the state of podcasting today, the fact that a lot of money is being dumped into podcasting now, how podcasters can ensure they don't podfade, the challenge of competing with celebrity hosted shows, and how you can stand the test of time in the world of podcasting. You'll learn the secrets behind community development, what Chris has personally found to be most effective, and how you should never overlook the talent that is right under your nose -- in the very community you have worked to develop.

Have you been wondering if the topic of your show is too narrow, too small, or too niche? Podcasts with incredibly narrow topics often thrive. These “super niche” shows activate a community and compel real engagement in a way that podcasts with a broader audience simply can’t.
In this episode we introduce you to Bailey Bauman, host and creator of the Cloth Diaper Podcast, which has recorded 96 episodes to date. Bailey Bouwman has successfully cultivated an audience of 2.3K subscribers on YouTube and a Podcaster with a VERY ENGAGED audience of 300 listeners or more. With audiences that span from her native Canada to the Far East, Bailey reaches passionate people from all over the globe. Through her podcasting and vlogging efforts, Bailey has become a “go-to” within the cloth diapering community. She is deeply involved in the formation of a new industry association that will likely emerge in 2022 and which seeks to bring cloth diapering back into the mainstream.
Corinna Bellizzi interviews Bailey Bauman as they discuss how and why cultivating an engaged audience is so important, the types of tools they use to market to these audiences, and the importance of “merch” or branded merchandise to cultivate a deeper connection with inspired audience members, guests, and affiliates. Topics discussed include:
About Bailey Bouwman

She invites you to waste less, spend less, and embrace cloth diapering.

This week, Corinna Bellizzi introduces Carolyn Kiel of the Beyond 6 Seconds Podcast. They talk about why Carolyn began her podcasting journey almost 4 years ago — because she wanted to tell the story beyond the first impression of the first 6 seconds. Her belief is that when you dig deeper, you reveal the truth.
They discuss their podcasting journeys and how each works to peek behind the veil of social media to tell compelling stories. They also share key takeaways from She Podcasts Live, where they recorded this show in person in October 2021.
About Carolyn Kiel: Carolyn Kiel is a full-time instructional designer of corporate training initiatives. In her free time she hosts the Beyond 6 Seconds podcast, where she has interviewed more than 100 entrepreneurs, creatives and CEOs about the big challenges they’ve faced, and how these experiences have shaped their lives and identities.
Introductory Note: This is an in-person interview that I recorded when I was in Arizona for She Podcasts Live in October. I enjoyed living in the moment, connecting with other vibrant and incredible women. It was an incredible experience, and one I’m most thankful for. She Podcasts Live inspired me to work to build a stronger community of podcasters that collaborate and support one another. We’re doing this with our fellow Femcasters because we believe that it is only through collaboration that we can crash through that glass ceiling and change the world.
So I hope you’ll listen to this episode with that lens and think about what you can do to help elevate the voices of others around you.

Join Corinna & Jules as they discuss overcoming your fear of speaking. Learn how tools like Clubhouse and Wisdom applications (or other social audio) can help.

They talk about the power of preparation and why you shouldn’t be afraid to learn by doing, practicing through events at a library, an open mic night, or even through volunteering to be the MC at a local event.

The Butterfly Effect has a quiet power. It’s an idea that was first proposed by Stanford University professors Edward O Thorndike and Amos Tversky in the 1930s to describe how events outside of our control can have consequences for ourselves-and sometimes those consequences are very dramatic! In this inaugural episode, Julie Lokun & Corinna Bellizzi join forces as they discuss The Butterfly Effect — where everything starts at its winged best… The symbol incorporated into Femcasters’ word mark pays homage not only thematically but also iconographically: We wanted something lighthearted yet eye catching enough so people would know what channel it came from when listening to their favorite show, Femcasters.
“Femalicious. Powerhouse females sharing their stories with the world.” — a quote from a future listener (perhaps you?)
