Bringin' it Backwards
BiB: Hannah Fairlight - From CBGB's Auditions to Lone Wolf: The Rise, Risks, and the Real Nashville

If you've ever wondered what happens when an artist goes all-in—risking comfort for creativity, clarity for chaos, and ultimately, artistic evolution—this episode of Bringin' It Backwards is for you. Adam Lisicky sits down for a long-awaited catch-up with Hannah Fairlight, the singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and actor whose journey takes us from her small-town roots to international adventures, reality TV twists, and standing ovations at iconic venues like CBGB's. Three years since her last visit (and the release of Muscle and Skin), Hannah returns to share what she's discovered since: motherhood, sobriety, and most importantly, a brand new album, Lone Wolf. In this deeply candid conversation, Hannah talks about the real stories behind reality TV, why saying "no" actually propelled her music forward, and how recording to tape in Nashville changed everything. She opens up about leaving behind the literal "album baby" era, focusing her energy on musical risk-taking, and the drive to create work that's not just for herself—but is sonically irresistible. Adam and Hannah dig into writing, surviving setbacks, finally getting to tour, and forging real connection both on stage and at home. Whether you're a new artist chasing your first show or a fan of unapologetically honest music, Hannah's story is proof: getting uncomfortable is where the real magic happens. Hit subscribe, follow @BringinBackPOD, and don't miss Hannah Fairlight's return, only on Bringin' It Backwards.

By Tuesday, seven new names joined the races, adding to the dozens who qualified Monday. In Marietta, the mayor’s seat and all seven City Council and school board positions are up for grabs. Incumbent Mayor Steve “Thunder” Tumlin is seeking a fifth term, facing challenger Sam Foster. Meanwhile, council races are drawing a mix of familiar faces and fresh contenders, like Kenneth Wright, who’s challenging Ward 5’s Carlyle Kent.

Acting Business Boot Camp
Episode 349: Why Tracking Data is the Secret Weapon in Your Acting Career

Acting Business Boot Camp

Play Episode Listen Later Aug 13, 2025 11:38


Most actors treat their careers like a guessing game. Send a few emails. Hope someone notices. Post on Instagram. Cross your fingers. But what if you could know what's working? What if you had the exact information to make better choices, save time, and book more work? That is what tracking data does for you, and yes, it is way less boring than it sounds. Why Most Actors Avoid Tracking (and Why That Hurts Them) A lot of actors shy away from anything that feels “too business.” They think tracking numbers will suck the artistry out of what they do. But here is the thing: you are your own product. If you are selling anything, you need to know what is resonating and what is falling flat. Data is not about turning you into a robot. It is more like a script you did not know you needed. It tells you what is landing, what is missing the mark, and where to put your energy next. How to Start Small Without Overcomplicating It You do not need fancy software to start. A simple spreadsheet can change the game. Write down who you contacted and when, the subject line you used, whether they opened it, clicked, replied, or ignored it. Tools like MailTrack, Boomerang, or Yesware will do the tracking for you. Open rates tell you if your subject line was compelling. Click-through rates tell you if your reel or website got attention. The Power of Testing What Works Want to level it up? Try sending two slightly different versions of the same email, maybe just the subject line changes, and see which one gets better results. That is A/B testing. It is not complicated, and it tells you exactly what works. What Your Website Metrics Can Reveal Installing Google Analytics (it is free) can show you how many people visit, where they came from, how long they stay, and what they click. You might even notice patterns, like everyone skipping your résumé PDF but clicking on your behind-the-scenes video. That is information you can use. Heatmap tools like Hotjar take it further by showing where people actually click. If your most-visited link is your dog's Instagram, maybe rethink what you are putting front and center. Social Media: Looking Beyond Likes Social media works the same way. It is not about likes, it is about patterns. Which posts get saved the most? Which videos are watched to the end? Does posting at 9 a.m. get more engagement than 9 p.m.? Use those answers to repeat what is working and retire what is not. Your Weekly Career Check-In Once a week, set aside time to check: Emails sent, opened, clicked, and replied to Social media reach, saves, and comments Website traffic and bounce rate Auditions requested and booked Optional but useful: moments you felt completely burned out It does not have to take long, but it will change the way you approach your career. Data without action is just a sad spreadsheet. The Takeaway Tracking does not make you less creative, it makes you more strategic. It gives you the freedom to spend your energy where it matters most. Start small. Track your emails, your socials, your auditions. Let the numbers guide your next move instead of just hoping you are on the right path. And if you want one-on-one coaching to help you track, strategize, and grow your acting career, reach out to hello@actingbusinessbootcamp.com. Let us build your career with purpose, not guesswork.
