Memoirist and filmmaker Curtis Chin on pitching for national press, booking venues through cold emails, and making a high-volume book events strategy financially sustainable. You'll learn:Why Curtis booked readings before his memoir released to drive pre-orders, and what that early push unlocked. How he found venues by researching programs and series online, then sending cold outreach without overcomplicating it. A practical way to define your “audience” so your outreach targets the right communities and institutions. How to write a venue email that creates urgency (a “hook” and a reason to say yes now), without sounding gimmicky. A press pitching approach that starts local, builds credibility, and then moves toward national outlets. What his spreadsheets are (and aren't) for, and a lightweight way to track outreach and payments without building a complicated system. How he initially used a publisher budget, then supplemented it with community funding when the budget wasn't enough. Why momentum compounds (your growing “resume” of events and media makes the next invitations easier), and how to lean into that effect. How he structures his day to keep writing, business logistics, and book marketing moving at the same time. How getting paid for talks changed the economics of touring, and why nonfiction subject expertise can create more paid speaking opportunities. Resources & Links:
Are you really short on leads or just failing to convert the ones you already have? Too often business owners blame marketing when revenue slows. They buy more leads, spend more money, and hope volume fixes the issue. But if your booking rate is weak, you're not growing, you're wasting money. In this week's episode […] The post Before You Buy More Leads, Fix Your Booking Rate first appeared on My Contractor University | Dashboard.

From there, the hosts dissect Airbnb's widening blast radius: airport transfers, grocery delivery tests, revived experiences, a bigger hotel push, and (again) a non-points loyalty experiment. Ben argues the ambition is coherent but execution has historically lagged—so the question is what Airbnb actually nails in the next 6–12 months. Then the episode turns to the bigger tectonic shift: agentic AI and whether it breaks the OTA model. Scott calls it noise until it works; Ben and Edwin push that consumers will prefer conversational planning to endless deal-scrolling, pressuring commissions and “propping up mediocrity” less and less. Spice of the Week closes on the coming job title nobody's staffed for yet: the people who manage fleets of agents—and the businesses that still win because humans show up. This Week in Hospitality is presented to you by Journey. Journey is a loyalty platform built specifically for independent boutique hotels and high-touch hospitality brands. Our mission is to give operators the same powerful rewards engine, data intelligence, and guest insights that major chains rely on — without asking them to give up the individuality, soul, or story that makes their property extraordinary.

This week on Chrisley Confessions 2.0, Todd and Julie are catching up on a season of life that feels like it's moving at lightning speed. Julie is headed to London for 21 days of filming, Todd is figuring out how to hold down the fort with Chloe, and somehow they're calculating whether 60 outfits is reasonable or completely insane. It's a lot. But as they say, they're blessed to be stressed.From there, the conversation turns deeper.After receiving messages accusing them of “staying silent,” Todd and Julie address where they stand on immigration, ICE, protest culture, and the growing divide in this country. They talk about the hypocrisy they see on both sides, the heartbreak of lives lost, and why compassion and accountability can exist at the same time. Todd doesn't hold back. Julie speaks from the heart. And together, they share why they refuse to be pressured into becoming anyone's political mouthpiece.They reflect on prison, the pardon, and the reality that pain looks the same no matter what side of the aisle you're on. They open up about faith, about questioning God in the middle of the storm, and about recognizing later that He was there all along.This episode is honest. It's layered. It's uncomfortable at times. But at its core, it's about respect, responsibility, family, and the belief that this world is big enough for all of us if we would just choose common sense and common courtesy.As Todd says, every storm runs out of rain.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – President Donald Trump delivered his State of the Union address last night, and he laid an obvious trap for Democrats after telling them what he was about to do. Then he asked lawmakers to stand if they believe the first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens not illegal aliens. Democrats refused. Trump said, "You should be ashamed of yourselves." The campaign ads are already in production.

This episode is presented by Create A Video – Several things came through in President Trump's speech before Congress last night - the "why" behind his policies and actions.

We're headed to one of the most legendary small rooms in the country to chat with this episode's guest, Megan Loveless, Talent Buyer for The Blue Room at Third Man Records – the independent record label in Nashville run by Jack White. Megan tells us all about the venue, which previously had been used for underplays, photoshoots, and special experiences, but in 2021 was rebranded as a full venue to host a wide range of events weekly. From its literal blue walls that give it its name to the lathe room that houses a 1955 Scully lathe which allows them to record select shows direct to acetate – The Blue Room is a truly unique venue. Hear what goes into curating their calendar and how Megan balances booking touring and local acts along with other types of community events. We learn about her history growing up in a small town with a love for Nirvana and Sub Pop Records which led to her attending MTSU for Music Business and internships at a small label and Third Man Records.

I share who's currently inside the program (including a stationery designer, a marketing specialist, and a website designer), and why the five core workflow phases—Inquiry, Booking, Onboarding, Service & Delivery, and Offboarding—apply no matter what you sell.Because while the service may change, the client journey doesn't.If you've been wondering whether Systems in Session would work for you, even if you don't take photos for a living, this episode is for you.Learn more at coliejames.com/systems

Solo Travel Adventures: Safe Travel for Women, Preparing for a Trip, Overcoming Fear, Travel Tips
What if the quiet nudge to travel alone isn't a whim, but a wise signal that your next chapter is ready to begin? Cheryl Esch, travel coach and host of Solo Travel Adventures, digs beneath packing lists to uncover five identity blocks that keep women 50 and older from saying yes to a trip their hearts already want. From caregiver guilt to the fear of what others might think, we unpack the stories that stall action and replace them with permission, practical steps, and a clearer sense of self.We start with the weight of responsibility so many women carry—children, partners, aging parents, or demanding work—and show how replenishment strengthens the very people you care for. Then we rewrite the definition of adventure: it doesn't need cliffs or chaos to count. A quiet coastal town, a museum day with no compromises, or a weekend cabin can be a profound reset when you travel on your own terms. Along the way, Cheryl challenges the myth that it's “too late,” spotlighting why women 50+ are uniquely equipped for solo travel and how the travel industry is increasingly designed with you in mind.We also tackle the social pressure that makes a solo trip feel like a statement. You'll get simple language to handle questions, plus grounded safety practices—daylight arrivals, vetted lodging, check-in routines—that anchor confidence. The most poignant thread explores identity beyond roles: after divorce, widowhood, an empty nest, or retirement, who are you without the titles? Solo travel becomes a thoughtful container for reflection, choice, and small brave acts that add up to a renewed sense of self.If something in this conversation stirred you, consider it your invitation to act.

Why do so many of us feel busy all day, yet struggle to point to the meaningful work we actually completed? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Tomás Dostal Freire, CIO of Miro, to unpack a challenge that quietly drains modern organizations. Tomás brings experience from companies like Google, Netflix, and Booking.com, and now leads both IT and business acceleration at Miro. His focus is simple but ambitious. Move beyond AI experimentation and rethink how work itself gets done. We explore new research revealing that for every hour of creative work, employees lose up to three hours to meetings, admin, emails, and maintenance tasks. That ratio is more than an inconvenience. It affects decision-making speed, employee satisfaction, and ultimately a company's ability to compete. Tomás argues that future candidates will choose employers based on how much unnecessary internal work they are expected to tolerate. In other words, reducing busy work is quickly becoming a talent strategy. One of the biggest culprits? Context switching. With dozens of browser tabs open and information scattered across tools, teams spend more time stitching together fragments than making decisions. Tomás describes how duplication of work, outdated systems, and a lack of shared context quietly erode momentum. AI, he believes, should not create more noise or another standalone tool. It needs to be embedded where collaboration already happens. We discuss the difference between single-player AI moments, where individuals use tools in isolation, and multiplayer AI collaboration, where shared context allows teams to move faster together. At Miro, this philosophy has shaped what they call an AI Innovation Workspace, a shared canvas where human insight and AI assistance coexist in real time. Tomás also shares practical advice for leaders who want to reclaim creative time. Start by identifying tasks you dislike doing that could easily be handled by someone junior. That list often reveals what AI can already automate. Then focus on building transferable skills like cognitive agility and first-principles thinking, rather than chasing every new tool. If you are wrestling with burnout, fragmented workflows, or wondering how AI can genuinely improve collaboration without overwhelming teams, this conversation offers a grounded, optimistic perspective. And yes, we even add a Beatles classic to the Spotify playlist along the way.

If you ever wondered what 12 days without power, a brand new flat tire, and a wife falling on a sheet of ice all in the same week looks like… welcome to our life.In this episode, we're coming to you straight from the middle of Nashville's ice storm aftermath. Julie's blown a tire on her brand new car, taken a tumble in the driveway, and gotten exactly zero sympathy from her husband. Todd, of course, has opinions about all of it. From “keep your ass at home” to laughing while Julie's laid out like a snow angel, nothing is off limits.But it's not all jokes. We talk about the fear that comes with aging parents living alone and the heartbreaking news story that's been weighing heavy on our hearts. When something like that hits close to home, it makes you look at your own family differently. It makes you hold people tighter.We also dive into what it means to raise strong sons in a world that feels upside down. The difference between leaders and followers. Why who you surround yourself with matters more than you think. And the advice Todd gave Chase that every young man needs to hear: don't go looking for a good girl… be a good guy.Plus, we share an unbelievable message from a young man asking Todd for permission to take Savannah on a date, our thoughts on pop culture headlines, and why communication in marriage sometimes feels like prison court.It's chaotic. It's honest. It's a little emotional. And it's very us.
