Heart & Soul (ft. Michael Cerbelli, Cerbelli Creative)Michael Cerbelli's remarkable career of sharing, inspiring, & listeningOPENING QUOTE:“Give it your all or don't accept the job. It's that simple. Do it the right way.” -Michael CerbelliGUEST BIO:Michael Cerbelli, founder of Cerbelli Creative, is known for producing wildly imaginative and successful events for over four decades. Michael is also known for generously sharing his knowledge of event trends and insights with others in the business via his now famous Hot List™. And it's been said that how ‘The Hot List™' goes, so goes the industry.Links:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramTwitterCORE TOPICS + DETAILS:[5:50] - COVID in New YorkTaking changes head-onMichael discusses how he went into 2020 ready to have a banner year at Cerbelli Creative, and then COVID hit. But where many leaders and businesses raged against the changes and longed for the way things were, Michael and his team immediately shifted— having twice-daily Zoom meetings to stay on track and keep moving forward. The result is that they didn't lose a step throughout the pandemic.[15:41] - The Hot ListNaming the trends before they're trendsThe Hot List is an annual event that showcases Michael's annual list of the hottest and newest event & entertainment ideas before they take off.  While it's a thrilling, can't-miss event, it's also representative of something deeper— Michael's commitment to sharing his knowledge, experience, and insights with the world. Rather than a zero-sum, competitive approach, he's chosen to focus instead on how all people in the event industry can elevate each other.[23:22] - Vital Advice for Rising StarsWhat you should know entering the event industryMichael leaves listeners with an emphasis on ‘heart and soul.' Don't just give your vendors start times— form a relationship and help them understand how they can excel. Don't walk into a meeting and start spitting ideas— listen first. Understand the people and their goals and vision for an event.[24:53] - Toothpaste Lids: On or OffKnow your clients & watch relationships blossomMichael calls the early stages of working with an organization the ‘newlywed stage.' Too many event organizers see this phase as a one-off, an opportunity to extract value and move on. But you should always be learning everything you can, under the assumption that you may be capable of a long and successful relationship together. Make the effort to listen and get to know what they're looking for, and they'll reward you with a long and valuable partnership.RESOURCES:[3:00] - The Hot List[20:39] - Jordan Kahn Music Company[21:10] - Brett Culp's Stage Story[22:22] - Meetings TodayFOLLOW:Follow Michael Cerbelli:WebsiteLinkedInInstagramTwitterFollow Scott Bloom:WebsiteLinkedInYouTubeVimeoABOUT NO MORE BAD EVENTS:Brought to you by eSpeakers and hosted by professional emcee, host, and keynote speaker Scott Bloom, No More Bad Events is where you'll hear from some of the top names in the event and speaking industry about what goes on behind the scenes at the world's most perfectly executed conferences, meetings, and more.

It’s hard to believe that another year has come and gone! 2018 has been incredible here at Studio Sherpas. We had our 100th podcast episode not to mention the incredibly amazing and talented guests we’ve had. I know I learned a whole bunch and I hope you did too! With the year coming to a close, it’s time for some reflection. I’m going to share three of my biggest takeaways from 2018. They all revolve around the ideas laid out by Patrick Lencioni which are to be hungry, be humble, and be smart and I’m going to go over each of them with you here today. You’ll also hear some clips from five amazing guests that we’ve had on here over the past year. So get excited all over again as you listen to some incredible people in this industry drop some wisdom all over again! What are your biggest lessons learned during 2018? Drop a comment on the episode page!   In this episode: Why you should always be hungry for more knowledge and the dangers of being satisfied with what you know All the books that Ryan read in 2018 that you should read too Why it’s okay and in fact a good thing, not to know it all The importance of using the knowledge that you have to take meaningful action Clips from some of Ryan’s favorite interviews of 2018   Quotes: “If we are held back in any way, by not being who we were made to be in telling the stories we have to tell, the stories that we need to share, my hope is that we can do whatever we need to do to share those and to be that person that we were made to be.” [2:29] “I don’t believe that we fake it until we make it. But I do believe that we believe it until we become it. And so it’s this idea that you are an artist. You already are this thing that you want to be. You are a professional. Now you just need to start acting like it.” [23:59] “The only way the good ideas came is when you just had a litany of bad ones. And the confidence only comes after realizing that one or ten or literally thousands of failures won’t define you.” [27:37] “The job of a good salesperson is to determine as quickly as possible if you can help this person. The best way to do that is to be very clear about the value that you can bring to them.” [31:29] “We’re all human. We all make mistakes. We’re all in a process of learning no matter how much mastery we have at any given thing, we’re always pushing ourselves creatively.” [35:50] “Don’t worry about this moment so much. Know that it’s just getting you ready for the bigger challenges that you would not be ready for on the bigger stages. Without this moment you couldn’t do it.” [46:02]   Links: Join Studio Sherpas mastermind The Budget Maximizer   Ryan’s Book List Profit First by Mike Michalowicz Jump Start Your Brain by Doug Hall The Ideal Team Player by Patrick Lencioni The Five Dysfunctions of a Team by Patrick Lencioni Everybody Always by Bob Goff The Ultimate Sales Machine by Chet Holmes Real Artists Don’t Starve by Jeff Goins Building a Storybrand by Donald Miller Small Giants by Bo Burlingham Harry Potter read aloud by Jim Dale   Episodes Referenced Episode 76 Real Artists Don’t Starve with Jeff Goins Episode 101 Embrace The Mess To Find Your Greatest Success with Jasmine Star Episode 99 How To Make Sales Fit Your Personality with Jim Hoogewind Episode 93 Think Viral Video Campaigns Are All Luck?

During this series, it's my goal to share not only what I've learned, but what other documentary filmmakers have learned.On this episode, documentary filmmaker Brett Culp is back on the show to talk about the successes and failures he's had with his three crowdfunding film campaigns over the past five years.

Today we have a provocative issue about the power of media to shape public opinion and perception. But how do we discern what's true?The ability to carry a high-definition video camera in your pocket has literally changed the face of an industry. Now any John or Jane Doe with an iPhone can be a DIY Anderson Cooper. Well, a conversation I had with world-renown wedding filmmaker Ray Roman about the controversy over police shootings led me down a path to explore this topic further. Today on the show you'll hear part of my conversation with Ray that prompted this exploration. We also hear from show regulars JD and Yolanda Cochran on the topic, as well as Legends of the Knight director and founder of the Rising Heroe's Project, Brett Culp.

Brett McKay here and welcome to another edition of the Art of Manliness podcast. Someone said that comic book superheroes is modernity's version of the great Greek myths. Just as the ancient Greeks used the stories of Achilles or Odysseus or Hercules as guides on how to live their lives, many modern individuals who grew up on superhero stories have found inspiration in them on how to live a heroic life, even if they're just regular Joe Blows. My guest today on the podcast is a documentarian who has created films about real-life people who have been inspired by comic book heroes to do good in their own lives. His name is Brett Culp and he's the director of one film called Legends of the Knight, which looks at how the Batman legend has transformed people's lives, as well as the forthcoming documentary called Look to the Sky. In today's podcast, Brett and I discuss why Batman is such an enduring superhero and how he's inspired a millionaire to dress up like Batman and visit kids in the hospital and a child psychologist to start using comic books to teach troubled children about skills like resilience and courage. We also discuss Brett's unique way of showing these films so that he can raise money for charity. If you love comic books, you're going to love this podcast. Even if you're not a big fan of comic books, you're going to enjoy it. It's a really uplifting story. Be sure to check out the show notes for links to resources mentioned during the show. You can find them at aom.is/culp. As always, if you enjoy the podcast, please consider giving us a review on iTunes or Stitcher. Brett Culp, welcome to the show.

Today we start our journey to find that elusive creature known as one's signature style. What exactly does it mean for a filmmaker, or any artist for that matter, to have a signature style? How does he or she get one? How do they develop it? Why should we care? Today we start in earnest the core topic for this first season of Radio Film School. Everything beforehand has been building up and preparing us for this journey. And we have some very inspiring interviews to start us off.Award-winning filmmaking Kevin Shahinian, renown for his Bollywood-style wedding films and Hollywood-calibre production values, provides incredible and poignant insight into the style question from a sophisticated point of view. I have a discussion with Film Riot host Ryan Connolly about his style (and whether or not he thinks he has one). And "Legends of the Knight" director Brett Culp rounds us off with some sage advice on how to develop one's personal style.In the bonus segment post-credits, I FINALLY get around to discussing with JD how it was he that prompted me to pursue filmmaking full-time as a profession.Music in this EpisodeWe have some more great use of Song Freedom songs.

This episode is a double dose of goodness. Brett Culp is an acclaimed filmmaker and keynote speaker. I became a fan of his work with his film, “Legends of the Knight”, and since then he has another release entitled “Look To The Sky” (available on Hulu) and a companion book as well.Bob Goff is one of the best storytellers I have ever heard speak. His first book “Love Does” was inspiring, and his latest, “Everybody Always” is now available.
