His studies and travels has taken him around the world, to more than 40 countries, have deeply influenced his work and his goals to help people connect with each other on a personal human level. Documentary "Searching for Contact" tracks a social media-obsessed musician and his quest for public recognition over the fifteen years since social media began to encourage individuals to turn themselves into private brands. Over the course of creating an album, a music video, a speaking tour, and eventually a documentary, musician Rob Holub - along with the hundreds of people he interviews in dozens of countries along the way - reflects a struggle that millions share, living in a society where the greatest currency in the world is public attention.

She is a certified holistic health and life coach helping busy women break free from sugar and stress/emotional eating so they can be calm, confident and at peace. Around food. Around sugar. In stressful situations. In their bodies. In their life. She is committed to empowering women to break free from dieting, emotional eating and self-image issues so they can ditch the diet mentality, and feel empowered in their own skin.After her own tumultuous history with food {withholding and then later in life, bingeing}, she learned how to deal with the core issues around her broken relationship with food. As a result, she felt called to go to school and learn to teach other women how to do the same. She graduated from the Health Coach Institute as a Holistic Health and Life Coach in 2018 and is the proud owner of Free 2 B Coaching. She is a proud Boilermaker alumna living inTucson with her husband, Chad and two kiddos.Via Time Magazine: It should come as no surprise that Americans are stressed. A 2017 survey by the American Psychological Association (APA) found that money, work, crime, violence, the political climate and the future of the nation are all significant stressors for Americans, each plaguing more than half of the survey respondents.While stress is bad for the body, the ways people deal with it can be just as unhealthy. The APA found in a different survey that almost 40% of adults reported overeating or consuming junk food in response to stress during the prior month. And of those people, about half said they did so weekly.What is it about food — particularly junk food — that calls to so many of us during stressful times? Here's what listeners can learn:- Making yourself a priority- Why do we stress/emotional eat?- How to handle those cravings?- Seeking help  when we feel vulnerableGuest: Melissa Rohlfs - Instagram (@free2b_coaching)www.facebook.com/MelissaRohlfsCoachPodcast ~ https://anchor.fm/melissa-rohlfsWebsite: www.free2bcoaching.comPodcast: Hardwood Rod Podcast (@hardwoodrod)Host: Rodrigo Roque IV (@rodrigo.filmmaker) RodrigoRoque4.comSubscribe and Share on all platforms.  Follow us on Instagram & Facebook @hardwoodrodInterested in Sponsoring or being on the Podcast?

After losing his best friend/cousin to Cystic Fibrosis when he was 10, Daniel began his first foray into writing and poetry. As he grew up and at the behest of his close friend in high school, Daniel began to pursue filmmaking in college. After graduating from Towson University in 2012 he fell into life quickly, but thanks to a few mentors was able to find footing in corporate/event videography. While this became a place of steady income it was something that kept creativity far out of reach. At age 28 after receiving word that he would soon need heart surgery a new spark for letting a creative voice be heard emerged again. Over the course of the last three years Daniel stepped away from the event videography space committing his company, To Tony Productions, to only producing original short and feature film productions. Currently Daniel is studying for his Masters Degree in Film at Anaheim University, while also working on his first novel. Here's what listeners can learn:- How your childhood memories can help guide your passion.- Is Poetry and Filmmaking the same?- Using your creativity during down times.- Your passion vs your reality.

Bella worked hard for 25 years as Madonna's professional double not only working in place of Madonna for stand-in, body part model, voice over work and photo doubling as Madonna, but Bella worked WITH Madonna side by side on TV commercials where she used her expertise as an impersonator to work directly with the Director of the shoot.Along the journey of being Madonna's top double, Bella started her own talent agency where she helped (pretty much everyone in her life) break into the lookalike world. She started training people and helping them break into the industry. Since there was no HOW TO within this industry, Bella felt it time for someone to write a book.In 1999 Bella had her 1st book published all about the lookalike industry which launched her as a brand ambassador in the celebrity lookalike world and made her an “expert in her field”. In 2003 Bella had her 2nd book published which is now considered “the bible of all things Celebrity Lookalike/How To”.Bella has trained literally hundreds of people break into the lookalike industry and even with two published books on the market, she still gets emails daily asking for her help in breaking into entertainment.She started Tribute Productions Talent & Entertainment  in 1989 where has furthered her work as talent scout, mentor, and agent.In 2001 Bella began a niche modeling company called Mrs. Bella's Dolls (a retro pin-up brand ambassador company) where she creates custom costumes, trays, and hand selects the models she books.Bella's links:Website:www.TributeProductions.comInstagram: Guest: Bella Vlasis (@thelookalikelady @madonnadouble @tributeproductions)Podcast: Hardwood Rod Podcast (@hardwoodrod)Host: Rodrigo Roque IV (@rodrigo.filmmaker)Subscribe and Share on all platforms.  Follow us on Instagram & Facebook @hardwoodrodInterested in Sponsoring or being on the Podcast?
