Taking a leap in the face of uncertainty is scary. It's hard to envision a life in which you are living your dream, especially if your current reality is not living up to your expectations. But, what if it all works out? What if everything you are dreaming of comes to fruition and you get the life you want? Wouldn't that be worth the leap? That's just another facet of flipping the script of our lives and we are so inspired by women across the world that take that leap into the unknown with the hope that things are better on the other side. This week, we are talking to one of those “leapers” who started a cosmetics company in her living room, who kept getting told “no” by the big beauty brands of the world, and persevered despite personal and professional rejection to build a multi-billion dollar cosmetics company with a heart.  Jamie Kern Lima is the founder of the internationally known beauty brand, IT Cosmetics. As Jamie struggled to believe in herself enough to keep her dream alive--even after she was told she didn't have the “look” to be selling cosmetics--she decided to trust her gut enough to let it guide her through the sea of rejections she received while trying to grow her business. And through this journey,  she also realized that the beauty industry needed to change--and that no one should be showing women an unrealistic, unattainable “look” and making them feel less than if they didn't fit the mold. Jamie would come out winning by standing her ground to show “real women” (including herself) of all shapes, sizes, skin types and colors as part of her brand, and her determination to make every woman feel beautiful and to trust themselves to know what is best for their lives is her mission and message to this very day.  * * * Thank you to our sponsors!   Noom | Start building better habits today.

We head to High School with performer Kathy Yamamoto (@YAMAdrama) where we gain access to Jamie's private diary/novel that *accidentally* gets published and becomes an instant bestseller! Could happen to anyone! As Jamie hits the road to success and book events, she becomes more and more like Is, her main character and alter-ego. More important than all that, Dad is making some really WACKY pizzas and most definitely trying send his business under. Which pizza topping would you choose? Tell us @ITDVPodcast on Twitter.

Jamie Kuenzie on Learning Confidence In this episode, Jamie shares how a borderline introvert, Enneagram 9 became the youngest 100 Club in the history of The JP+ Company. As Jamie shares, it is all about learning confidence. She believes that we can position ourselves to be our best by doing our homework. This does not mean becoming an expert of everything. It means becoming an expert of ourselves. Who are you? What is your lane? What are you passionate about? Through what channels do you want to communicate with people? What is your leadership style? What is your conversation style? How do you best interact with people? How can you offer your best self to the world? Being the best version of ourselves can be learned. And when we do that then we will have the confidence we need to impact the world in ways we never thought possible.   Disclaimer: Juice Plus+ does not claim to cure or treat any specific disease or symptoms and nmakes no income promises regarding the business.

Episode 59.  On the final episode of our Shubo miniseries, we explore "Bodaimoto".  Our guide for today's episode is Skurnik Wine's Japan Portfolio manager Jamie Graves.  Jamie has visited the Shorakuji temple, the home of Bodaimoto and he also imports one of the quintessential sakes of this genre, the Takacho "Regal Hawk" Junmai Muroka Genshu Bodaimoto.  The name of the game is again lactic acid.  Getting the right acidity levels helps the sake yeast to flourish. As Jamie explains, this sake is a portal back to a time when samurai craved sweeter sakes to balance out the funky, preserved food they enjoyed.  While you won't find a bodaimoto at every corner liquor shop, this fun and historical style is worth knowing about.  Let's dive in to this 'time capsule' brew and discover a style of sake any samurai would love.

Episode 36: In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and Human Design expert, Jamie Woodworth.  Jamie did my Human Design reading over a year ago and I'm really just learning to harness its power.  As a coach said to me recently as I was struggling to give myself permission to make a decision that I knew felt right, "Isn't it like you're fighting against how you're made?"And, that is it! We've been conditioned to fit in certain boxes and then we judge ourselves or think something's wrong with us when it doesn't feel right. Then, we hold our kiddos to the same standards.What if you could powerfully work with your design (and you're child's design)? I recently had Jamie run my boys' charts and let me just say, it makes so much sense and it has shifted how I engage with them in ways that empower and support them.As Jamie state, "I love helping others to know themselves in a different way and to harness the power of Human Design to step more fully into one's authentic self, and to know the way that their loved ones tick."It's a powerful episode and as complex as Human Design can be, Jamie breaks it down as she truly believes "that just knowing a few basic things about Human Design can make a world of difference not only for the listener but also with their kids and partners."Tune in!Want Jamie to provide you with an in-depth reading of your child's chart?

As Jamie continues on her own journey to become more body positive, we are reminded daily that this is a shared space and there are SO many different stories and journeys. Body positivity is more than just about size...it is also about race, gender, etc. This week we have the amazing Raffela Mancuso on the podcast. Raffela is a mental illness activist and diet culture DISRUPTOR who uses social media to center people who are living in marginalized bodies, while also sharing about her own personal journey.

Join captain Eddie Davis as he chats with Jamie Alimorad( signed featured artist for Heart of Indie Radio) ! This is one very special to interview! As Jamie stated recently, "2020 has been a lot of things, but as someone who looks at the glass half full, I look at it as a lesson. A lesson in love, appreciation, understanding, compassion, and empathy. “Brighter Days” has grown to have deeper meaning to me as time goes on. When we were planning to film the music video, I had a concept that was about community. What it became was bigger than I ever thought possible. I’m over the moon to receive the Independent Music Video nomination in the Hollywood Music in Media Awards!" Light first dawned on Jamie Alimorad’s prodigal artistry in Boston’s underground music circuit, while attending Northeastern University. From those humble beginnings, Alimorad dedicated himself to honing his craft as a singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. His time at Northeastern proved invaluable, culminating in a Bachelor of Science in Music Technology, and a blossoming career. Upon graduating, his music began trickling out from Boston’s indie scene and out into the world at large. He independently released two albums (Cornerstone and Words Left Unsaid) that garnered enough success to warrant his first nationwide tour, taking him through cities, including, New York, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles. The tour’s success led to the 2014 music video for Words Left Unsaid single “Beautiful” hitting over 2 million views on YouTube. Alimorad has spent the past three years writing and recording new material for another hotly anticipated release in 2019. Teaming up with Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and producer Gino Vannelli, and Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer Ross Vannelli, the trio has crafted a collection of vocal-centric pop music, that has more than its fair share of innovative twists, and turns, fueled by Alimorad’s effusive passion towards fusing genres. The album tells Alimorad’s coming-of-age story of the years of an artist growing in an ever-changing world, and emerging from his cocoon, fully stretching his wings as a songwriter, musician, and vocalist.

In this episode, I sat with Jamie Bendall who is a father, an attorney, a famous comedian, businessman, youth coach, planning commisioner and owner of Atlanta's famous comedy club The Punchline. I got to know Jamie from one of my favorite podcasts I listen to "Dad The Best I Can" hosted by Rob Roseman. Jamie, is a father to 3 amazing girls who may be the reason for Jamie's success in stand up comedy. Jokes aside, in this episode, Jamie shared his life and his wisdom of being a dad and a man wearing so many hats and how we as men and dads can seek out our reason to do good and be vulnerable with our fellow men. Jamie and I kept jamming even after this we stopped the recording of this podcast and the offline discussions were also filled with so much wisdom, that I can only keep sharing and follow his lead as a new dad to share the legacy of fatherhood. As Jamie said it " even if this podcast stops, the lessons are and will be on this platform for years to come" This episode Jamie shares his experience as a youth coach and how we as dad can help our kids to find their passion and how we as men can find our community where we can be vulnerable and be ourselves.

 "I won't be able to find a therapist who can help me - they don't understand what it is like in veterinary medicine." Have you ever heard or thought those words? How about "I can't ask for help, it will make me seem weak and vulnerable."? Jamie Holms, RVT gets real and candidly shares the battles she faced as she rose from being the tech who believed she could do it all on her own to the tech who practices asking for help regularly.  Jamie's dry sense of humor and wit punctuates this episode filled with information we all need to hear.  In the veterinary field, we treat pets with behavior orders even though we have never been a dog or cat and Jamie helps us understand how to find the right kind of therapy and therapist that can help us even though that therapist has never been a veterinary professional.  Take the time to listen to this episode and you will understand asking for help in a way that may never have crossed your mind before.  As Jamie says, "the willingness to ask for help is a huge step towards mental wellness." So take the first step and listen to this episode today!

How do you listen beyond the chatter in your head? Do you need to learn a load of tools and techniques to become a better listener? According to best-selling author Jamie Smart, we don't need to learn something new, instead we need to remember our innate ability to listen and to connect. When you realise that listening is a natural state then listening becomes a catalyst for connection. As Jamie says: "Listening is one of the simplest ways for anyone to find their way into a deeper connection with another human or themselves' Rather than change or fix the story - we can listen and help the other person experience connection. In that space of connection insights naturally arise. Connection is a portal for people to have insights. The route to connection is to listen.

A fun-filled episode of BEHIND THE LENS this week guaranteed to distract you from these troubled times, thanks to filmmakers SHERI SUSSMAN and JULIE PACINO, plus our exclusive interview with actor JOSH O'CONNOR! JOSH O'CONNOR is everywhere right now. You can see him as Prince Charles in THE CROWN. You can see him as famed Jane Austen character Mr. Elton in EMMA in which he gives, what I believe is, the best and most entertaining Mr. Elton in any of the 10+ adaptations of Austen's tale. You can see him in the emotion-filled drama HOPE GAP playing son to Bill Nighy and Annette Bening. And you can hear him on #BTLRadioShow. We spoke with Josh in this exclusive interview talking about the diversity of his performances, and particularly that in HOPE GAP given the emotional complexity of the story and the cohesiveness of his character as a go-between with his parents. As Jamie, Josh pushes the envelope of his already well-heeled skillset. Then we welcome back writer/producer SHERI SUSSMAN to #BTLRadioShow. And joining her this time is director/producer JULIE PACINO as they talk about their new short film NOWHERE TO GO. Thoughtful in story and in its presentation, Sheri and Julie go in-depth talking about the genesis of the story, their collaboration, Julie's visual influences and design (all the way through the credits!), and a key production element I find most impressive to the film, sound design. http://behindthelensonline.net http://eliasentertainmentnetwork.com

It is April 1, 1989 and 35 year old Donald Welling was enjoying what he often did on weekend mornings which was taking a jog on the pretty back roads of Tuscarawas County. The peaceful moments of enjoying his run were shattered as a long shot rang out. The rifle bullet struck the middle of his heart killing him instantly. It was just 19 months later when on November 10, 1990, when 21 year old Jamie Paxton decided to go out and do some bow hunting with his crossbow. He found a nice area off state route 9, parked his car and got out to take a walk and get a look around. He left his weapon in the car. As Jamie was strolling along, lost in thought, he didn’t realize a man had pulled up and parked near his car. Again, shots rang out. Jamie fell to the ground after being struck three times from a rifle. The gunman would leave no evidence, leave no witnesses and was just getting started.Join Jen and Cam on this episode of Our True Crime Podcast as we discuss The Ohio Sniper: When Hunters Become The Hunted .

It's a return to the classic "technical difficulties" of our early days! As Jamie journeys northward to the World Series, he and Matt try to discuss the damp squib of a Thursday Night Football game, ask just what it is the Redskins think they're accomplishing, complain about Dan Snyder, celebrate the Nats, plot a triumphant return for Zubaz clothes, and then get cut off pretty abruptly.

Jamie Odegaard is many things and does many things but as she describes on the podcast, she doesn't like labeling herself. However, you may recognize her from my “Who to Watch in 2019” list, from being a Yoga instructor, and for being a positive light on your Twitter and Instagram feed. As someone going through a period of self-discovery, mentally, spiritually, and physically, it was crucial for me to have Jamie on to talk about these things. As Jamie and I dive deep into mental health, healthy eating, and living well, this conversation feels like a great big hug. So make yourself comfortable, grab a cup of tea, and listen in.

Marilyn Monroe, Jamie Sheriff and Me Hi, this is Hal Aaron Cohen and welcome to my podcast Tales of the Road Warriors No guest, today. Just me, Hal Aaron and I’ll be driving solo. You still get a great story , though. One of my own Tales of the Road Warriors. Fun times! Today, I want to share what’s ahead for the Tales of the Road Warriors podcast, but first, let me tell you a little about what’s been going on, as well as what’s going on right now. First, I want to thank all of you for listening, especially those of you who follow and share the show with your friends and on social media. I also want to thank everyone who has been a guest on the show, and thanks in advance to those who will be joining me on future episodes. Oh, and lest I forget – I’d like to give a big shoutout to my old friend Joe Walla for allowing me to use his instrumental, PLAYA DEL SPAIN, featuring his fretboard virtuosity and signature, Hola Gente! – as the opening theme music.  By the way, “Hola Gente” is Spanish for “Hello, People” A couple of weeks ago, I recorded a live episode of TotRW with Lizanne Knott, her daughter Ciara and Philly folk-rock music icon and author, Dan May. It was a sweltering 102 degree day and I  can’t thank  them enough for participating. It was recorded live by Kev Gallagher at the Tattoed Mom on 5th & South Street in Philadelphia as part of the Philadelphia Podcast Festival. Kev is the host of a podcast called, Everything is Awesome and is the co-host of The Zombcast. Kev also writes for Dark Knight News and is working on a science fiction series and probably more projects I’m not privy to. He’s ALSO a dad to two kids. Despite all the stuff he’s got going on in his life, Kev volunteered to record all of the podcasts at the Tatooed Mom during the week of the Philly Pod Fest. So a HUGE thanks to Kev  . Also a big thank you to Nathan and Taegan Kuruna the organizers of Philly Podcast Festival  – for including a new, still-in-the-baby-stages Tales of the Road Warriors. I am grateful for the opportunity, even if I did choke a little and probably squandered my opportunity a little bit. Tell you what…  I’m blaming the heat. In the meantime, Dan, Lizanne and Ciara were the perfect guests. I haven’t edited that show yet and I apologize for getting behind, but, I got a healthy dose of last minute music gigs, and  that combined with trying to get ready for the live podcast and a big event in Orlando, Florida, I’ve just been short on time. I try to get an episode out every Thursday, but, as you know – Life happens. Being the Chief, Cook and Head  Bottle Washer, I can’t always be as consistent as I’d like right  now, but I’m working on solutions. Hopefully,  I can find a collaborator or possibly build a small team to keep the show running a little more efficiently. So what’s next? Well, I’m going to take a brief hiatus because I’m heading for another Podcast event. This one is the big one. It’s called  Podcast Movement 2019 and they’re expecting about 3,000 podcasters from all over the world, all converging in Orlando, Florida. My goal is to learn all I can about the podcasting industry; meet some movers and shakers, check out new opportunities in podcasting, maybe acquire a sponsor or two, some new gear and ultimately make Tales of the Road Warriors better than ever. I’m still in the process  of tweaking  the show, the format, curating great guests and stories and honing my own skills as a host. I know I have a long way to go, but as my old Pappy used to say, “It’s what you learn after you know it all that counts”. So now that you’re all caught up, it’s time for a Tale from Uncle Hal… I call it Me, Jamie Sheriff, and the Ghost of Marilyn Monroe If you’ve been listening to past Tales of the Road Warriors, then you already know I was a singing waiter for about six years. SO, this happened at the Great American Food and Beverage Company. Now, at the GA, we had two dining main dining areas – the Piano Room and the Green Room. Piano players couldn’t work in the green room because well, there was no piano in there. In the Piano Room, however , there was an old spinet which actually sounded pretty great considering the pounding it took night after night and there were some pretty good keyboard  players working there. There’s Chuck Francour, who still entertains around the Florida area and now calls himself Sweet Charlie, David Bloom, entertains American tourists in Mexico at a beautiful  resort, Joe Turano, who worked with Ricki Lee Jones, Michael Bolton and was musical director for Al Jarraeu for 17 years. There were a few others, but most noteably – Jamie Sheriff. Jamie went on to become an 80’s solo artist. His album, No Heroes was engineered by the legendary producer, Ken Scott – most noted for his work with David Bowie. To this day, we’re all still in touch on Facebook. I still talk to Jamie pretty regularly. Now, I played mostly guitar, but occasionally switched to piano for a song or two. I’m no virtuoso, but I play well enough to accompany myself on piano for some songs. One of those songs  was Candle in the Wind by Elton John. But, if Jamie had time between customers, he would offer to accompany me on the piano while I played guitar. One night Jamie suggested something novel… He asked me if I ever thought about just singing the song without the guitar while  he accompanied me on the piano, so I could concentrate on the vocal. I felt completely naked an totally insecure if I wasn’t holding a guitar while performing, but I’d seen others, who didn’t know how to play an instrument, get up and sing, so I thought why not, and agreed to give it a shot. Now, hanging on the wall, just to the right of the piano were these mirrors. Painted onto the mirrors were silhouettes of famous -people, these mirrors were very popular in the sixties  and 70’s. One had  Elvis. There was one each of all four Beatles (I think – Maybe just John Lennon)… and then the one closest to the piano was Marilyn Monroe. So Jamie starts playing the Candle In  The Wind, I’m just standing there like a poor man’s Wayne Newton or some lounge lizard, feeling completely stupid. So , then, I just jumped right into the first verse. Hey, you know what? It wasn’t horrible. Once I started, I felt a little more comfortable.  While, in the midst of singing, that Marilyn mirror caught my eye. So I quickly thought, “Hey, here’s an idea… I’ll take the mirror off the  wall during the instrumental and then during the third verse, I’ll  hold it up to the crowd and that’ll be really cool!” But Marilyn had  an even grander idea… I removed the mirror from the wall easily enough. I didn’t drop it. Everything was going as planned. As Jamie’s piano solo was concluding, I set the mirror at my feet, planning to pick it up as I sang, “Goodbye Norma Jean, from the young man  in the 22nd row…” But before that happened,  I noticed a few people staring at the ceiling and murmuring, so I looked up to see what they were looking at… The mirror was sitting at my feet at such an angle that when the light above the piano hit it, it projected a blue, ghostly image of Marilyn Monroe, smiling down at the people dining at the table in front of me. Not everyone in the room saw it until I got to that part of the song. SO I milked it for all it was worth. I dropped to my knees and gazed into Marilyn’s haunting eyes as I sang the last verse. A quiet reverence took hold  of the room and when the song ended, the crowd just sat there stunned for a second or two, then burst into a huge applause. It couldn’t have been better if we had planned it. Of course, from then on, Jamie and I made that song a permanent part of the evening, whenever we worked together. I like to think that Marilyn herself was smiling at me with approval that night. I hope you enjoyed my little story. Please add Tales of the Road Warriors to your favorite podcast app. If you’re on an iPhone, you can listen on Apple Podcasts.  For Android, there are several options. My favorite is Himalaya. If you go the Tales of the Road Warriors home page, there are links  to several of the most popular apps for podcasts. Oh! Hey!! The reminds me. It’s come to my attention that there are still plenty of people who don’t listen to podcasts. Not this one, not any. I’ve come to discover that some of you haven’t discovered podcasts, don’t know how to listen to them, don’t understand the advantage of having podcasts in their life. So, I’m working on a “how-to” video, to demonstrate the different ways to listen to podcasts in order to make it easier to get into them. I’ll let you know when it’s ready, so this  e of you who already enjoy podcasts can finally share the experience with friends. All right, I think I’m done here. Mission accomplished! So, if you’ll excuse me, I’m going for a drive! Listen to Tales of the Road Warriors on HIMALAYA Please listen, share and comment below. There’s also a Tales of the Road Warriors Facebook Group if you want to start or contribute to the conversation there. Anyway, let me know what’s on your mind, one way or another. Thanks !  

Today, on episode #4, we have Jamie Giovinazzo, who is the founder of the meal prep delivery service, EAT CLEAN BRO. As Jamie shares his story with me, we cover topics such as chasing your passion, overcoming failure, the power of affiliate marketing, and even school systems in America. Jamie Giovinazzo went from cooking for a friend in the gym, to now making over 20,000 meals per week, with endorsers like professional MMA fighter, Frankie Edgar, and celebrities Lala Anthony and Charlamagne Tha God.

Follow your passion and remember that everything has to be done to learn. Jamie Ramsay was like many of us, head down, following the footsteps of those around us and the conditioning of our environment but rarely make the leap into adventure for fear of the unknown. AS Jamie points out “the whole idea of adventure is that you have no idea what is going to happen, and that you overcome whatever challenges appear. That is what gives you the opportunity to grow and become.As long as you've got your health, adventure is not a barrier. But you do need to look after yourself, keep the variety in what you do, resist the temptation to continually keep your head down. And most importantly pass on the learnings you discover to others through inspiration to do the same.Reflecting on his podcast it was the idea that coming back and doing the work is the part that gives you the results, and that is a concept that we hear consistently from those who have achieved things that others admire and it is with first hand experience that has inspired the next leg of the weMove journey which is the Complete Human Experience or C.H.E. where we are bringing together the minds who have mentored Chris and myself with a group of like minded movers. This will be an 8-10 week program which begins with a 4 day immersive experience to share learn and discover what is holding back and more importantly the keys to unlock potential. In terms of what we set out to do with weMove this is it, giving back to others to experience their potential and support them to reach their potential.If this is something you are interested in, click the banner on our website by going to wemove.world or wemovemagazine.com, complete the quick form and we will be in touch with the next stage of the screening process.Enjoy

Edutainers Amy and Jamie Honey use improv and game-play to empower companies and sales teams to build healthier cultures and greater sales and profitability. Originally from Australia, Jamie Honey has taught and facilitated Improv for many large organizations such as Warner Brother Movie World, Gold Coast Screen Academy, Phoenix Rising School, and Universal Studios Japan. A graduate of Queensland University of Technology, Jamie stumbled upon acting and drama while in high school. He was one of 30 people, from 5000, selected to attend the prestigious drama and acting program offered at QUT, and it was here he discovered his talent and interest in comedy and improv. This interest in laughter eventually led him into the science and benefits of ‘happiness’, emotional intelligence and mindset training. Jamie has trained with renowned experts such as Dr. Joe Dispenza, Gerry Robert, and Brian Nieves. He is recognized for being a master sales tactician and is sought after by many of the world’s leading sales organizations to close ultra-high end products and programs and teach others to break down limiting beliefs. When he is not transforming lives through improv and laughter, you might catch him falling off a ten story building… Yup, he’s also an international stunt actor! Amy Honey is a pull no punches, powerhouse speaker and trainer in the areas of customer engagement, body language, behavior modification and habit transformation. She has extensive background in high ticket sales, and is known by her peers as a powerful closer. Amy is also passionate about helping girls and women find their courage, just as she had to learn do starting at the age of 16, when she found herself alone and independent. Through her own resourcefulness she still managed to graduate from high school. At age 20, she became a single mom, and chose to put her family’s welfare first, while overcoming numerous obstacles in an unreceptive market place. It was during these life challenges and entrepreneurial journey she crossed paths with personal development and discovered her love for speaking and training. Her passion for personal growth, travel and transforming lives has taken Amy all over the world, helping people transform their lives through behavior observation and habit change. In today’s conversation, Amy and Jamie explain the benefits of improv and how you can incorporate it into a powerful personal development program for yourself and your teams; one that fosters creativity, innovation and higher performance. We also explore the essence of sales and how to transform your beliefs and habits in order to connect better with your clients, communicate your value proposition and enroll others in doing business with you. The possibilities are endless! As Jamie points out, “When you improve the quality of your thinking, you improve the quality of your life.” Key Takeaways Nervousness is just energy that hasn’t been attached to a goal or an outcome. When it is attached to a goal or an outcome it becomes excitement. Personal development is being aware of what your thoughts are and improv is having fun with what your thoughts are through game-playing. When you improve the quality of your thinking, you improve the quality of your life. Laughter boosts your immune system. It also creates rapport with others. Two minutes of laughter will last for 4-5 hours chemically in the body. Selling is a multi-step process of connecting, communicating, qualifying, and enrolling. Most sales people approach the conversation with their own belief structure, wallet and budget – as opposed to listening to the client’s belief structure, wallet and budget. Are you actively listening or are you listening with an agenda? If you’re actively listening, you’re hearing everything they are saying. If you’re listening with an agenda, you’re hearing only what supports your belief structure. Improv is a powerful way to train you in the habit of actively listening, which is more than just hearing the words they say. Improv training teaches people that they can offer any suggestion and ultimately innovate, because there is no wrong in improv. Experience Amy and Jamie Honey’s Training Live!

Oh Friends, I’ve been dying to share this episode with you! Today on the show I’m pleased to welcome Jamie Clinard, who owns the shop Saturday Morning Pancakes. She creates adorable t-shirts for moms and kids inspired by 90s hip hop. You’ll have to head to the show notes to check out Jamie’s hilarious and so adorable shirts. What makes this interview so exciting and so incredible is that by digging into Facebook and Instagram ads last summer, Jamie has taken her business from being a nice hobby ($500-$1,000 a month in income) to hitting $1 Million in sales in March of 2017! She told me she’s on track to do $2.6 Million for her business this year(!!!) Listen Now And, no, Jamie didn’t start teaching others how to grow a business to get these amazing results. She doesn’t have all these hidden revenue streams or $1,000 products she’s selling. She just dug deep and focused on her t-shirt shop. Jamie got busy serving her customers well, finding new customers, creating ads, testing audiences, and scaling what’s working. That’s all she’s done, and she’s hit $1M in sales! When Jamie reached out to me to tell me what a difference Facebook ads have made in her business, I was seriously stunned!!   Now I KNOW Facebook ads work, but to go from a hobby biz to a 7-figure biz in less than a year?! They’re even more powerful than I realized! I hope you will listen to this interview with an open mind. Don’t set up barriers for yourself and think, “well, Jamie must have something special that I don’t.” Or “Jamie just got lucky.” Or “Great for Jamie, but this won’t work for me.” I want you to know Jamie is a SAHM, just like me and just like you. She grew her business in the margins. She was tinkering with ads during naptime and bedtime, and her business started taking off! In fact, after the first month when business really exploded, she had to turn her ads off because she was getting SO much business. She took the time to hire the right employees, set up the right systems, and then she turned the ads back on for massive growth! I hope hearing from Jamie will get you excited at what’s possible when you use Facebook ads to grow your business! 4:00 - A Shop That Started...Thanks To Pancakes! Jamie is also a mom of two kids, a 4-year-old girl and 18-month-old little boy. She worked in gang prevention before she got pregnant. She loved her work, but when she was expecting her daughter, her family decided it was time to pursue something different. There’s so much negativity in the world that Jamie wanted to find an outlet to bring more light and laughter to people. Jamie has always been a fan of 90’s rap and hip hop. In college she created a playlist called ‘Saturday Morning Pancakes’ to crank up every Saturday morning while she made pancakes for her roommates. They were the kinds of songs you just HAD to dance to! So when she thought about a company name, that was the first thing that popped into her mind. She thought about how funny it would be to incorporate hip hop phrases into kids clothing… turning something “tough” into something funny and cute. And it worked! People loved it. Saturday Morning Pancakes has taken off. (Just wait until you hear the behind the scenes!) 7:24 - Best Seller From The Beginning Jamie’s first tee design is actually still her best seller -‘Regulators Mount Up’. The song is so popular and well-known, but the twist of the kid tricycle is just so funny. That’s why Jamie thinks the tee has sold well. 8:40 - Crazy Business Growth...Thanks to Facebook Ads! We’ve been hinting a lot about Jamie’s crazy growth, let’s get to it! Until the summer of 2016, Jamie was doing everything for her business -- from the screen printing and shipping, to the marketing and designing, in her garage - with two kids in the house! Something snapped in Jamie and she wanted more from her business. With that motivation, she started researching Facebook ads, Instagram marketing, and email newsletters. It was pretty overwhelming to tackle all at once! So Jamie decided to pick one method and roll with it. It was around this time that Jamie found FB Brilliance. She was in a PR-focused group called Cupcake Magazine. She asked if anyone knew anything about Facebook Ads, and a member directed her to Brilliant Business Moms! She found us thanks to that group, and joined our course. It took Jamie two months to get through the content with two little ones at home, but it was exciting! She kept pushing past the tech hurdles and tougher parts of mastering ads, and she finally got her ads up and running! Jamie’s first ads were okay, but once she sat down and thought about her customer, it all started to come together. Jamie started thinking about all of the websites she would visit online, and all the interests she had, and she used that to narrow in on her targeting and show her ads to the right people. She started testing a few audiences at once, and things really started snowballing! As Jamie’s sales started to grow in a big way, her husband finally told her, “You need to turn off the ads!” She got so many orders that it was almost scary! She knew she couldn’t continue to run the business on her own. Jamie and her husband sat down together to refocus, and make a plan. Jamie hired a fantastic college girl to help her with shipping, and the business kept growing the more she scaled her ads. It was really fun...and addicting! After a few growth spurts, Jamie was able to get some warehouse space and hire even more staff to handle fulfillment and shipping. With all this growth, Jamie is still really involved in her business. She does all her Facebook ads and product design herself, but she has a team that helps her ship, and a company that helps her screenprint her tees. 13:20 - Nobody Can Nail The Heart Of Your Brand Like You Can Jamie tried hiring an ad agency to help with Facebook ads, because she thought there might be a lot of information she didn’t know. But… the ad agency totally bombed! They were targeting all sorts of strange interests and creating ads that just didn’t resonate with Jamie’s ideal customers. This experience helped Jamie realize she REALLY was the person who knew her business best! At the end of the day, a big fancy ad agency can’t capture what makes your business unique as much as you can. No one else has that special sauce! In our case Ellen, our team member, is perfect at making ads exactly how I envision them. Jamie also has an awesome team member  Carli, who is their Social Media Manager and always hits the nail on the head with her funny posts. Jamie’s first hire was her General Manager, Jenn, who is in charge of all operations. (To meet her entire, awesome team, just visit their about page!) It is scary to let go, but oftentimes letting go in some areas will allow you to grow! Isn’t it hard to be a mom and CEO? 16:00 - Tips For Hiring A Team We always recommend hiring for personality. That really matters! Jamie has found that her customers really connect with her team! They love getting to see them in action. Her team shares hilarious videos on Instagram stories, and Jamie loves it when fans write to her saying, ‘Your Team Is So Cute!’. 16:50 - Just HOW Big Did She Grow? To give you a sense of how much Jamie’s business has grown: she has 9 employees, a shared warehouse with an aftermarket company, and a shared space with a non-profit. Her business is bringing in six figures each month. “I never thought this was possible in my LIFE! I didn’t even think six figures in a YEAR was achievable!” 18:14 - Crushing Business Goals at SMP Okay, so I have to go on a little rant here. A lot of us mompreneurs receive patronizing comments on a regular basis: ‘“Oh honey, your cute little business” - that kind of thing. And it’s so frustrating! All of us are capable of six figure years and more!! We need to ignore the patronizers who think we just have a cute hobby. Our businesses can be so much more than that if we want them to be! In fact, Saturday Morning Pancakes is already a seven-figure company! (That’s still a goal of ours here at Brilliant Business Moms!) When Jamie hit a million in sales for the year, she was so in the grind trying to make sure everything was working, that she almost missed the milestone! (It happened in March of this year!) Once she realized that her company had surpassed seven figures, she and her husband did have a celebratory beer on the couch, and kept on working hard. “I would say to myself, ‘It’s working! It’s working! I hope it keeps working!’ I kept thinking I would wake up one morning and the ads would suddenly not work.” So far, Jamie’s business just keeps on growing, and now, she’s got a huge base of happy customers who will continue to come back and buy from her again and again! 21:00 - Why You Shouldn’t Set an Ads Budget So you ladies might freak when you hear how much Jamie is spending on ads, but stick with us to hear her ROI! Jamie determines how much to put into a given ad set (a particular audience that she’s showing a particular ad to) based on whether she’s getting sales for $6 or less from that ad set. If a couple of days go by and Jamie’s cost per sale is much higher than $6, she’ll turn off that ad set. And if she’s getting sales conversions for as little as $1 to $2 each, she will scale those ads aggressively! At first, Jamie started with ads for 2 t-shirt designs, and tested 5 different audiences per shirt. These days, she’ll often have 7 different ads going to 7-10 ad sets (audiences) inside each campaign. Jamie never caps her budget. If your ads are doing well, and earning you profitable sales, don’t limit your success by capping! Early on Jamie and her husband DID experience some moments of panic: “Oh my gosh! We’re spending $500 a day on ads!” In March, when they hit 7 figures, they probably spent $1,000 a day - and made $5,000 or more back in sales on that same day. Again, she always bases her spend off of her conversion metric:  $6 sales conversions or less = scale up baby! You might have some growing pains at first, but if you’re making profitable sales and can fill your orders, keep scaling! Hint: This is EXACTLY how we do things here at Brilliant Business Moms too, and I never would have hit six figures so quickly without this strategy! (And, yes, Jamie checks on her ads at least 3 times a day to make sure they’re still profitable :) 24:05 - A Great Big Ads Mistake Since Jamie is earning such a great profit from her ads already, one day of having a loss with her ads would be a bummer, but it wouldn’t end her business or anything! And of course, Jamie has setbacks or days when the ads perform less well than others. Jamie told me about the time when she meant to increase an ad set budget to $50 a day, but accidentally changed it to $5,000 per day! She didn’t catch the mistake for almost 3 hours!!! Eeek!!! Sales went through the roof, but she DOES NOT recommend this method! Her cost per sales  conversion was $30 each, so Jamie was losing a bit of money on each sale. Thankfully she caught her mistake quickly enough and didn’t spend the entire $5,000! It was more like $300, with some sales thrown in to recoup most of those costs. Jamie’s story totally cracks me up, because it sounds like something I would do! We all have goof-ups, but usually they’re just opportunities for growth and knowing what not to do next time :) 25:30 - Why Spending Big Can Mean Big Profits It’s easy to spend $1,000 a day when you’re getting profitable sales. In Jamie’s case, if she’s spent $30,000 on ads in a month, she’s made about $100,000 in sales that month - or more! Jamie says she’s getting back 3x her Facebook ad investment. If for every dollar I give Facebook they give me back three or four dollars in return? Well, I’ll keep giving them dollars all day long! Cause here’s the thing:  You can decide not to spend money on ads and work your buns off to earn $10,000 month all on your own. And I know you can do it!   But think about all the extra cash Jamie gets in the door from ads. She’s working the same amount as that solopreneur bringing in $10,000/month, but in Jamie’s case, she’s bringing in $70,000/month after she accounts for her ad spend. Even if you then factor in her growing team and say, half of those profits go to expenses, Jamie’s still coming out way ahead at $35,000/month in her pocket.  (This is just a general example for you to see why ads can be amazing for your business!) “It felt like magic,” Jamie said. Scaling Facebook ads for massive sales can be easy when you have a great product and you know your target market really well. And the more ads you run, the better you get at knowing what your customers will respond to! 26:50 - Campaign Structure Most of Jamie’s campaigns are optimized for conversions and then she chooses the purchase event. Facebook is so good at optimizing whatever action you tell them to! I’ve started optimizing for purchases with my $15 mini classes. I can show my ads to a cold audience, get super affordable purchases, and get a 2-3x ROI on my ad spend. And here’s a quick tip! Facebook has a neat resource called Facebook Blueprint. Sometimes they’ll do mini classes to help your ads experience. The teaching style is a bit robotic, but sometimes the instructors will totally nerd out and give you insider info! This is a recent tip I learned inside a Facebook Blueprint class:  People who are strong clickers are different than strong converters. Some people assume a traffic campaign will be enough -- just to get clicks and eyes on their site. But there’s way more competition for those clickers. And the clickers aren’t necessarily the same people who will convert into a customer. Just something to keep in mind as you run ads. 29:10 - Getting Started With Facebook Ads So what did Jamie’s first ad look like and how did it do? Her first ad was...also her worst ad! The very first ad Jamie ran was a promo saying they hit 10,000 followers on Instagram. She had 30 Facebook followers at the time. Needless to say, the results weren’t great! After taking our course, Jamie’s first ‘real’ ad was for one of her adult tee shirts that read ‘But First Gangsta Rap’ with a selfie of her wearing it. She was targeting cold audiences as she hadn’t quite figured out lookalike audiences just yet. But her sales were profitable! Jamie says she tried targeting from every angle to narrow in on her ideal customers, and probably 90% of the audiences she tested were not successful, but the 10% that were she threw everything at them and made massive sales! Jamie’s purchase pixel was already in place to track those sales and measure exactly how much it was costing her per sale for a given audience she was targeting. 31:05 - How Much Should You Spend to Know if it’s Working? Some of Jamie’s audiences convert immediately, low and quickly. Those are the ones she pushes money towards. Some audiences have no sales for 3 days, but all of a sudden they take off like wildfire. Jamie gives each ad set about 3 days at $5 a day before calling it quits. And if she has a gut feeling to push one audience a bit further, she’ll go with it! The more you run ads, the more you’ll get a feel for what’s worth hanging onto and what you can stop on day 1 because you just KNOW it’s not going to work out! 32:33 - First Month Ad Results Jamie can describe her results best by growth. She started advertising after finishing FB Brilliance in August. She experienced an immediate growth in sales of 500%. It was fast! And she instantly became a crazy person with Facebook ads. She really wanted to push things off the ground. She was researching audiences and checking her ads every 6 hours. “You can’t give up right away if it doesn’t go well,” Jamie cautions. She went through about 20 audiences before one worked. But once it worked, it REALLY WORKED. I still remember Jamie emailing me at the end of last August telling me about her month of 17k in sales! Things took off for her really quickly because she was constantly testing and tweaking her ads strategy! The selfie with her tee shirt was her only ad she was running at the time, but then she created ads for her ‘Regulators’ kid tee. Facebook tends to like women’s shirts better than their kids’ shirts, which is interesting! 34:40 - Way to go Facebook! I see Jamie’s ads in my Instagram feed all the time! I’m someone who sees a product I love, and I will buy it right away! Way to go Facebook, very smart with the targeting ;) The Facebook pixel is seriously awesome, you guys. They will go out and find people who will give you sales at the most affordable rate! 35:50 - Mind Blown With Lookalike Audiences Delving into Lookalike audiences really blew Jamie away. She did a lookalike audience based on her website visitors at first. Then she created an audience based on people who watched a marketing video SMP produced. Jamie has created lookalikes of people who have visited certain pages on her website, and a lookalike of her customers. You can get really deep with it! It’s amazing what Facebook can do! 36:31 - So Many Lookalike Options! I, Beth Anne, am currently running ads to build my email list. Let me give you an idea of how many lookalike audiences I’m leveraging: I have a lookalike of everyone on my email list I have lookalikes of people who have visited certain blog posts I have a value-based lookalike (which is a new feature Facebook rolled out where they take all your customer data and try to find people who will spend the most with you!) I have general customer lookalikes I have lookalikes of webinar signups You can do so many things with lookalikes, and the coolest part is, no one else’s lookalike will be just like yours - so you’ve got all these killer audiences of millions of people that only you can really target to! (Ok not exactly but… you won’t be competing person-for-person the way you would with an interest-based  audience!) 37:20 - Are Lookalikes the Best Performers? Or Interest-Based Audiences? Cold traffic sometimes will perform better than lookalikes for Jamie! If the shirt she’s advertising has been around a while, then cold traffic audiences are better. If it’s a new shirt she’s introducing to her audience, lookalikes or retargeting ads are best. One caveat:  sometimes Jamie finds that her ads will suddenly stop performing. What she’ll have to do then is change up a new picture and post text for the same shirt, reset the ad, and the sales turn back on. This is all part of being a savvy business owner! 38:36 - Jamie’s Best Ads Let’s have a look at some of the best ads Jamie has run. The first ‘But First Gangster Rap’ Tee, featuring her daughter’s preschool teacher! Image: Selfie type of photo that moms relate to. It’s totally cool, casual mom style! Copy: Coffee is great, but for reals, though. Nothing gets our day started quite like a little Biggie Smalls, am I right? Get free shipping with promo code → GRFreeShip Grab yours here -> Bitly Link 40:20 - Talking To Your Audience Like a Friend I love how conversational, casual, and fun Jamie’s ad is! This is how you would share about t-shirt you really like with a friend. That’s why it resonates so much with people. Jamie says she doesn’t want her company to feel like a big name brand. Saturday Morning Pancakes include gifs and memes in all of her emails. Jamie responds best when she can laugh with someone and, let’s be honest, who doesn’t!? 41:11 - Another Winning Ad Copy: First Gansta Rap. Then Coffee. Then I do the things. Grab this super soft gangster rap tee and turn your cold, cozy mornings into hip hop awesomeness. Get your free shipping code here → GRFreeShip And if you remember back to Melissa Kaiserman’s episode, she also said her customers don’t often use her free shipping codes! They just love the product!  It’s nice to include coupon codes, but don’t be surprised if most of your new customers don’t use them! 42:57 - Pricing Tees Jamie charges $31 for an adult tee and $21 for her kids sizes. So again, people aren’t coming to her for cheap tees, but they are coming to her for these hilarious and fabulous products that tell the world what they’re all about! Another factor in pricing the tees is that they’re sourced with high quality fabric, which makes her costs higher. Don’t be afraid to charge what you’re worth, and of course, leave enough wiggle room so you can afford to pay to acquire a new customer.  THAT’S how you scale up a business! 44:00 - Has Manufacturing Changed? Does Jamie screenprint her own shirts? SMP does work with a screenprinter now, due to the quantity. There’s just too many to do on her own! But Jamie does still screenprint a few of her shirts. During Christmas of 2016, Jamie was still screenprinting 60% of her tees, and her heating element went out! She was desperate for a solution, and even tried baking her tees in her oven! Jamie says she was desperate to make things work and not keep her customers waiting! 45:46 - Another Ad This ad is a flat lay of a t-shirt that says ‘You're The Wu To my Tang’ with a cute pair of sunglasses and cut-off jean shorts. Copy: GREAT NEWS! We are now offering our Wu Tang tees in another color! Woot woot for Wu Tang! Grab yours here: (bitly link to the shop page) Get 10% OFF with the code WuTang. (And shocker again! Not a lot of people are using the 10% off coupon!) 46:22 - What’s Working For Jamie Right Now Jamie has a great product that appeals to a specific niche. She’s always testing marketing. What else is working for her right now? “Build a community! People know when they're being sold to,” Jamie says. “I love my customers, and I’m sure we’d all be best friends if we had the chance!” I know just like Jamie, you and your customers are passionate about all the same things. You all have a story. Jamie has extended her branding and connection to her customers all the way down to the packaging of her products! Everything she does is light and fun! If you’re just trying to make a quick buck, people will know. Your business should be community-oriented. 48:00 - Loyal Customers Jamie says she’s always had a strong, loyal customer base. About 70% of her customers are new this year because she’s just growing like crazy. But once she earns a customer, they ARE repurchasing! This is why even if you can just break even on ads but get a bunch of loyal customers for years to come, it's worth it! 50:04 - Jamie’s Adorable Mom Moment You’ll have to listen for this adorable burn from Jamie’s 4-year-old daughter! I was cracking up! 51:20 - FB Brilliance is Opening its Doors Again! Was that not incredible hearing from Jamie!?

Today's Guest: John Caparulo, comedian, "Caplets" podcast   Watch this exclusive Mr. Media interview with John Caparulo by clicking on the video player above!    Married couple John Caparulo and Jamie Caparulo host a podcast, "Domestic Disputes" Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience full of two-drink-minimum political critics that wouldn’t know a phallic symbol if it was dangling in front of their nose … in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida! I think the first thing you need to know about comedian John Caparulo is where he was on November 8, 2016. Home. With his beautiful wife Jamie. And infant daughter, Madden. Oh, and I think his dog, Barney, was probably there, too. Why is this important? Because while it was Election Day in the United States, neither John nor Jamie was motivated to go out and vote. Not for The Donald; Not for Hillary. As Jamie put it on their podcast, “Domestic Disputes,” “We didn’t feel either one of them was worth putting on pants to vote for.” Watch John Caparulo's live comedy podcast "Caplets" I’m not telling you that to form a judgment, just as a point of information for what happened four months later, in late February 2017. JOHN CAPARULO podcast excerpt: "When you watch the video, I didn't move. I just trusted my belly to absorb the blow. And it did. I was just glad I got the whole thing on tape. I'm not a politically-charged comedian -- those are big world problems and I have a small world point of view." John was recording an installment of his short-form video stand-up series, “Caplets,” when he cracked wise about the new president. A lady in the audience didn’t like his jokes and eventually launched a beer his way, hitting her mark. The clip quickly went viral, thanks to TMZ. What’s odd is that Caparulo isn’t exactly known for his political commentary. Domestic commentary, yes. Sports, yes. Politics? Eh, not so much. But in an era when comics need a little something extra to stand out – a podcast, a sitcom, regular appearances on Colbert, Maher or Kimmel – a drunk at the Hermosa Beach Magic & Comedy Club gave this new daddy his chance for a little stardust. By the way, Caparulo isn’t new to this show. He made his first appearance on Mr. Media back in October 2010.

Richard and David are joined by Jamie Costa, the internet viral-video personality who is best known for his impressions - especially his spot on impression of Robin Williams. As Jamie is a believer, we got to chat with him about how he got started, what projects he has coming out soon, his background and faith, and the big dreams he has for his career.

As the founding member of Infusion, Jamie Stevens has quite the pedigree. In the early to late 2000's he traveled with the band all around the globe playing the world’s most prestigious clubs and festivals (and we are talking Glastonbury, Coachella and Roskilde among many others) which has given him the opportunity to hone his live performance skills and learn the intricate art of dancefloor mechanics - traits which he meticulously apply to his DJ sets which can range from driving peak time tek to stoned-out warm up slots (check his recent warm up set for Danny Howells in Melbourne). On the production tip Jamie has really propelled himself forward with a characteristic cinematic, percussive and bass-heavy sound that has seen his tracks find a home on labels like Bedrock, Dieb Audio, Chameleon and microCastle (if you’ve not heard Jamie’s recent microCastle track ‘The Wonder of You’ yet, do yourself a favour and listen to it now. Just don’t blame us when you melt away after hearing it). His instantly recognizable remixes created for the likes of Hernan Cattaneo, Booka Shade, D.Ramirez, Cid Inc and Antix amongst a host of others have been no stranger to praise and support from the biggest names in the industry: Sasha, Laurent Garnier, D-Nox, Adam Beyer, Danny Howells and Secret Cinema. We can’t be more excited to have Jamie on board for a Balance Selections podcast and man, did he deliver. One look at the tracklisting below will tell you that he has bought himself the biggest musical spade he could find for some proper crate digging. As Jamie puts it: “I just chose tracks that told a story all together rather than just new tunes or one particular feel: electronica, 50s computer music, berlin techno, Krautrock, progginess... Haha!” That might sound like hyperbole but he is spot on with that description as there is no specific sound happening here (that said, there is an underlying theme connecting all of the tracks). Rather, what you will find here is a collection of interesting tracks that is far more than the sum of its parts - and isn't that the hallmark of all great mixes? Enough already. Familiarise yourself with Jamie though the Q+A below, then switch of the lights, power down your phone, put on the headphones and press play. As the famous line by British actor Geoffrey Sumner goes: "This is a journey into sound!" Tracklisting and interview here: www.balancemusic.com.au/news/balance-selection-004-jamie-stevens/

At Canon, Jamie’s bar in Seattle, WA, they take pride in the sours they create each and every night. Like many cocktails served at Canon, sours are made with 2:1, rich simple syrup. As Jamie has professed in passed episodes, rich simple syrup provides not only sweetness but a great mouth feel without diluting the drink as much as a typical 1:1 simple syrup might. In the Chamomile Sour, Scotch is infused with the plentiful, calming herb to create a truly delightful, rich, yet light take on the classic sour style cocktail.

As Jamie joins the travellers, we talk about all things Scottish - English Gav's amazing accent, stoner kebabs, and Scottish Ale. Second Doctor, Polly, Ben, and Jamie Scotland, 1745. The Doctor. Ben and Polly arrive in Scotland after the battle of Culloden and meet a band of highlanders who are fleeing in defeat. Their laird is injured and the three offer to help tend his injuries. Polly and Kirsty McLaren, the laird's daughter, go to fetch some water but whilst they are gone the others are captured by redcoat troops. Things become worse when the group is taken again - this time by the crooked solicitor Grey, who is part of the West Indian slave trade. The prisoners, Ben amongst them, are bundled on board the Annabelle where the wicked Captain Trask issues dire threats of drowning. Meanwhile The Doctor is on dry land confusing all and sundry in a variety of disguises. However, his bumbling manner hides a sharp brain...

In an earlier episode of The Cocktail Spirit with Robert Hess, guest Jamie Boudreau demonstrated how to make flavorful spheres of caviar or pearls out of gelatin. Since then, Cointreau has put together an amazing kit using state of the art tools, ingredients and technique. They were kind enough to send a kit to Jamie so he could work his magic. As Jamie demonstrates, the addition of gold flakes to the pearls created with the Cointreau system add elegance to a simple glass of champagne.
