This episode of I'm An Artist, Not A Salesman Podcast with host Luis Guzman features chef and entrepreneur Gustavo Gutierrez, a culinary force behind a growing Cuban cafe brand built from food trucks, late nights, and relentless experimentation. Gustavo's story moves from Union City kitchens and fine dining pressure cookers to building a multi-location food business rooted in culture, discipline, and survival instincts shaped long before he ever stepped into a professional kitchen.We get into street-to-chef transition, culinary school, Cirque-like fine dining, mentorship under tough chefs, learning systems, cost control, and why real restaurant training is more about repetition and problem solving than recipes. Gustavo breaks down how he learned speed, precision, and respect for ingredients while working brutal stations and long hours before applying those lessons to empanadas and Cuban sandwiches.Then the conversation shifts into entrepreneurship, pricing philosophy, and customer perception. Gustavo challenges the idea that food should be judged only by price, comparing it to luxury goods and explaining how quality ingredients, handmade masa, and protein-heavy empanadas come at a cost that reflects real labor and standards.We also explore leadership and ownership. Gustavo talks about running multiple food trucks, training staff, dealing with breakdowns, and staying composed when everything hits at once. From motor failures to last-minute shortages, he explains how business owners become problem solvers first and chefs second.One of the most powerful parts of the episode focuses on mindset, ego, and accountability. Gustavo opens up about cutting ties with destructive environments, learning when to step back from people he loves, and understanding that personal growth sometimes requires distance. He also reflects on entitlement culture, social media criticism, and how anonymous opinions rarely reflect real experience.The reality of fine dining kitchens and what most chefs never talk aboutBuilding empanadas from scratch, including handmade masa and protein-first recipesWhy pricing food is about ingredients, labor, and sustainability, not comparisonManaging food trucks, breakdowns, and unpredictable operations under pressureLeadership lessons from training staff and building trust in a kitchen teamThe shift from hustling in the streets to building structured business systemsHow ego, discipline, and accountability shape long-term successTo close, Gustavo and Luis reflect on growth, long-term vision, and what it means to build something that lasts beyond personal effort. From kitchen floors to business ownership, the conversation ties together creativity, discipline, and resilience as core ingredients for any entrepreneur trying to build without losing identity along the way. Listeners are left with a grounded look at what it really takes to scale a food brand while staying connected to culture and craft.Listeners who connect with this conversation can follow the journey of IAANAS Podcast as it continues highlighting creatives, chefs, and entrepreneurs who are building careers through skill, discipline, and lived experience rather than shortcuts.

Petit poisson deviendra... pinnipède ! Après une série dédiée aux manchots, nous partons à la rencontre de ces mammifères marins moustachus et aux pattes en forme de pagaie, à nouveau en compagnie de Mathilde Chevallay.Mathilde est docteure en biologie marine, vulgarisatrice scientifique et photographe animalière. Spécialiste des comportements de prédation des Otaries à fourrure, des Éléphants de mer du Sud et des Manchots royaux, elle a pu les rencontrer au sein d'immenses colonies lors d'expéditions menées aux Îles Kerguelen, juste au dessus de l'Antarctique.Si évoquer le Léopard de mer, ce phoque géant de l'Antarctique, suffit à faire froid dans le dos, parler de l'Otarie de Californie (ou Lion de mer de Californie, plus plus d'exactitude scientifique) rend souvent l'atmosphère plus chaleureuse. Originaire de l'Est du Pacifique, en particulier de l'état américain qui lui a donné son nom, cet animal tout lisse au magnifique pelage brun-noir, au joli petit museau, aux nageoires délicatement élancées, et au caractère particulièrement joueur, a fait craquer plus d'un enfant ou d'un parent lors d'une visite de zoo ou pendant un spectacle de cirque. Les Otaries de Californie sont en effet les animaux sauvages parmi les plus représentés en captivité et dans la culture populaire, si bien qu'elles sont probablement l'archétype des Pinnipèdes pour l'essentiel du grand public. ___

It's been a wonderful couple of weeks with new and new-to-us releases from smaller niche houses. From the incredible packaging and nightlife nostalgia of El Morocco to the otherworldly influences of Rite of Way and Sorce, we've been really impressed with a number of perfumes we've been blessed to receive lately.

Still cooking up some fresh Leftism, and thanks for hanging in there.We have covered a lot today, and we have a lot more to go. I spoke of Karmelo Anthony last hour, and I'm glad he's going to prison.I think his parents knew it, and that's why they didn't spend that GFM money on a good attorney.You can bet that the majority of Blacks in America do not side with Karmelo Anthony.https://x.com/CHIMPUSX/status/2064532058819457416Austin Metcalf's father was swatted 6 times.Austin Metcalf's mother was swatted 2 times.They had to keep all of this under a gag order.Remember the couple in St. Louis who brandished weapons when people were marching for BLM in St. Louis.Remember how much hell they were put through.And while we are on the subject of this hate group, listen as Congressman Chip Roy quizzes the CEO of the SPLC on whether he's listed any Islamic groups on hate, given their viws on LGBT:[X] SB – Chip Roy Interesting that the SPLC says it doesn't target religious groups, but it targeted many Christian groups, including Focus on the Family.Anybody think the SPLC will make Democrats a hate group, given they selected a Nazi?Maine NazisSpeaking of exceptions, Democrats have apparently decided that electoral desperation cures all moral concerns.Look at what's happening in Maine.For years we've been told that certain beliefs, associations, comments, and controversies make a candidate permanently disqualified from public life.We've been lectured endlessly.No second chances.No forgiveness.No nuance.No redemption.Then along comes a candidate Democrats desperately need.And suddenly we're watching political yoga routines that would make Cirque du Soleil jealous.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We expected Vegas stories and Magic Mike secrets. We didn't expect a coffee cup to uncover a decade-old wound and leave the entire room in tears. On this Part 2 episode of Undressed with Pol' & Patrik, we sit down with Las Vegas power couple Mark Romain of Magic Mike Live and Brett Hamby of KA by Cirque du Soleil. Together, the Amazing Race fan-favorites also perform weekly in Temptation Sundays at MGM Resorts, making them one of the most recognizable couples on the Las Vegas entertainment scene. What begins as a lively conversation about Vegas entertainment, Lisa Vanderpump, celebrity residencies, Magic Mike, Cirque du Soleil, reality television, fashion, and LGBTQ+ representation quickly evolves into one of the most emotional Armenian coffee readings we've ever experienced. Along the way, we discuss our recent viral road rage attack, life as a public LGBTQ+ couple, Hollywood's changing landscape, and why authentic representation remains more important than ever. The episode takes an unexpected turn when Brett's Armenian coffee reading uncovers a powerful connection to his late mother, Christine. What follows is a raw, heartfelt, and deeply moving conversation about grief, guilt, healing, and the love we continue to carry for those we've lost. As Pol reveals messages hidden within the coffee grounds, Brett opens up about his mother's passing, creating a moment so emotional that there wasn't a dry eye in the room. Through laughter, tears, and incredible honesty, Mark stands beside Brett with the unwavering support that has made them one of the most beloved couples audiences have come to know and admire. By the end of the episode, everyone leaves feeling lighter, affirmed, and reminded that the people we love never truly leave us. It's a beautiful journey through Vegas glamour, celebrity stories, marriage, resilience, LGBTQ+ visibility, and one extraordinary coffee reading that proves the universe has a way of revealing exactly what we need to hear when we're finally ready to listen.

Our next guest is an absolute titan of modern guitar. She is a Berklee College of Music graduate who went from tearing up the solo underground to sharing stages with icons like Steve Vai and Guthrie Govan. Whether she is shredding animated metal riffs on tour with Dethklok, holding down the stage with Danny Elfman, or shooting 10-foot flames out of her guitar in Las Vegas for Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson ONE, her precision and melodic voice on the instrument are unmatched. She is fresh off the release of her incredible, synesthesia-inspired fourth studio album, Eventide, and she finally has her brand-new, ultra-purple signature Ibanez guitar, 'The Answer,' in her hands. Today on Verbal Shenanigans... the phenomenal NILI BROSH!"   We also talk about a tree hitting Scott's house, tell some tales of gross comics and play a game called "Axe or Ailment."  Have a listen!

Climate change fanatics call Dr. Willie Soon a “contrarian”… when they're being kind. The renowned astrophysicist and geoscientist, once employed at the Smithsonian, controversially asserts that the climate is solar-driven, the carbon dioxide narrative is wildly overstated, and our real priority should be adaptation and affordable energy—not pretending we can regulate the sun. Dr. Willie Soon breaks down why carbon dioxide is plant food rather than a pollutant, why the UN climate committee is suddenly backtracking on its most extreme doomsday warming scenarios, and the blatant hypocrisy of Bill Gates walking back climate doomerism to protect his energy-guzzling AI data centers. Attorney Viva Frei discusses why he is growing increasingly “black-pilled” and breaks down the massive grassroots fury surrounding Rep. Thomas Massie's shocking primary defeat after Donald Trump endorsed his opponent. Beloved comedian Brad Williams brings some much-needed laughter and discusses his highly anticipated comedy special ‘Live on Short Street,' headlining Cirque du Soleil's ‘Mad Apple' in Las Vegas. David Freiheit, known as Viva Frei, is an attorney and political commentator.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer deaths, yet funding to support patients can be hard to come by because of the stigma attached to it. While smoking is associated with lung cancer, many people who have never smoked are diagnosed with the disease. Racquel Williams talks with Ride Hard Breathe Easy, an organization that raises funds and awareness for lung cancer patients through community bike rides, as well as a social worker at Fox Chase Cancer Center and a woman who is on her fourth battle with the disease, to understand how we can support lung cancer patients and how to get screened. Get involved or learn more about Ride Hard Breathe Easy at www.rhbe.org. Then, on Shara in the City, Shara is heading out of the city to join the circus! She gets a behind-the-scenes sneak peek at the Philly-area premiere of Cirque du Soleil's “Luzia,” at the Greater Philadelphia Expo Center in Oaks now through June 7. Tickets to “Luzia” are available at www.cirquedusoleil.com.

In this episode, Travis and his producer Eric riff on one of the hottest debates in modern city life: are reservations and curated nights out killing “real” experiences, or are they the only sane way to survive places like Las Vegas? Using a viral Subway Takes clip as a jumping-off point, they break down why lines get engineered, why chaos is overrated, and how to actually plan a great Vegas trip without burning cash (or patience) on bad clubs and hour-long waits. On this episode we talk about: The “no more reserved seats” hot take and why Travis and Eric think it's one of the worst opinions on going out How engineered lines and scarcity at places like With Love Always shape perception and demand Why wandering around for 45 minutes “exploring the neighborhood” sounds romantic online but is awful in real life—especially with kids Eric and Travis's case for reservations, predictable tables, and reducing unnecessary chaos in already chaotic lives Vegas tips: overrated experiences (nightclubs, certain hyped dining spots) versus underrated ones (off-strip restaurants, comedy clubs, and Cirque shows) Specific recommendations for steakhouses and nicer dinners: Del Frisco's, STK, Bavette's, Mastro's, and local gem Black Sheep Why national chains often underperform in Vegas compared to chef-driven, off-strip concepts Top show picks: Mad Apple, Mystère, Absinthe, O, and why comedy clubs like Brad Garrett's are such a great bet A frank breakdown of why most nightclubs are “eternal pits of money,” bottle service psychology, and how to avoid a five-figure hangover Top 3 Takeaways Convenience tools like reservations aren't killing spontaneity; for most people they're protecting sanity, time, and the ability to actually enjoy a night out. In Vegas, the best value often comes from off-strip or less-hyped spots—chef-led restaurants, comedy clubs, and thoughtfully chosen shows can beat loud clubs and generic chains. Nightclubs are designed as high-margin, high-temptation environments; if you go, treat it like a pre-planned expense, not a place where attention from staff equals real connection. Notable Quotes "When I go to eat is when I'm like, life's been chaotic. I want to go to my table." "Any night club is an overrated experience—it's an eternal pit of money where you can't hear anything." "Have fun, be cautious, and don't buy into the thought that these bottle service girls really love you—it's all a hustle designed to get all the money out of your bank."

Manny and Christina conducted a pre-show discussion for an upcoming podcast interview about podcast guesting for lead generation. Christina confirmed she would be discussing how podcast publicity can bring in leads and customers, and mentioned she has a special gift offer of a six-part private podcast. They discussed technical setup preferences, with Christina requesting to remain on video, and agreed to address the question about defining publicity early in the interview. The show was set to begin with Manny introducing Christina and providing background information about her expertise in podcast publicity. Career Pivot to Podcast Marketing Christina shared her career journey, starting with PR work at Dark Horse Comics and later representing clients like Cirque du Soleil. She explained how becoming a mother led her to seek part-time work, which eventually led to freelance work and creating an online course for tourism PR. Christina described how she successfully pivoted her business strategy by pitching herself on relevant podcasts rather than following traditional marketing advice, which significantly improved her course sales and consulting opportunities. She launched her agency in 2020 after making this strategic shift to podcast marketing. Publicity Strategy for Business Growth Christina explained her definition of publicity as one of three marketing pillars, distinct from owned and paid media, and discussed how many online entrepreneurs overlook this approach due to lack of control. She described her client base as approximately 50-50 between men and women, with a focus on helping businesses expand beyond referral-only and paid advertising models by reaching clients where they already pay attention, such as on podcasts. Christina outlined her service process, which begins with a messaging session to clarify target audiences and key talking points, followed by ongoing podcast research and pitching, including a unique guarantee on bookings. Podcast PR Strategy and Guarantees Christina explained how her podcast PR agency guarantees clients will be booked on 24 podcasts per year, which is possible due to the abundance of podcast opportunities compared to traditional PR methods. She shared an example of working with a fiction incubator client, where she identified and successfully targeted doctors, lawyers, and therapists as additional audience segments beyond the client's initial target of writers and creative professionals. Podcast Strategy and Content Creation Christina discussed how her company typically helps clients explore new pathways and strategies for podcast appearances, often suggesting targeted approaches across different show types. She explained that while they don't use AI for pitching, they leverage it for research and content creation, particularly in generating multiple pieces of content from a single podcast interview. Christina noted that most podcast appearances result in both audio and video formats, with the video being particularly valuable for creating social media snippets and website content. Podcast Booking Services Discussion Christina discussed her podcast booking services, emphasizing her industry reputation, personalized service, and guarantee of show quality. She addressed Manny's concerns about comfort in video and audio environments, explaining that nervousness is common for first-time podcast guests and offering one-on-one coaching to help clients prepare. Christina encouraged listeners, especially introverts, to overcome their fears, noting that podcast interviews are essentially one-on-one conversations where guests can ask for re-recordings if needed. She provided contact information for potential clients to learn more about her services and connect with her on LinkedIn or Instagram. ·       Website: https://www.publicityxchristina.com/ ·       Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/publicityxchristina/ ·       Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/publicityxchristina  Link to your special gift offer: Christina's 6-Part Private Podcast Series! ·       Gift for the audience: http://www.publicitypodcast.com/   Manny@mannynowak.com https://covertleadershiptraining.com/ https://coachmanny.com/

How do you find joy at work without faking positivity or losing yourself in the process? Episode Summary In this episode of the Joyosity™ Podcast, Jenn Whitmer talks with performer, teacher, and creator Tara DeFrancisco about joy at work, authenticity, leadership, creativity, trust, and self-judgment. Together, they explore how to be fully yourself at work, why presence matters, and how authenticity helps people connect more deeply in leadership, performance, and everyday life. Tara shares insights on bringing your full self to work, letting go of the need to perform for your inner critic, and learning how to enjoy the work you have already earned. Jenn and Tara also discuss improv, emotional connection, workplace joy, online identity, and what it means to lead with truth instead of control. This episode is for anyone who wants more joy in work and life without forcing positivity. If you are a leader, creative, speaker, performer, or professional trying to stay grounded, authentic, and connected, this conversation offers practical wisdom and a refreshing perspective on authentic leadership and meaningful work. In this episode, you'll learn: 03:21 What do you do with joy when energy is low, and you still have to show up. 04:52 Why presence is the reward for the work you have already done. 07:43 How trust is built through modeling rather than controlling in leadership, improv, and creative work. 12:18 What happens when people realize they are actually allowed to enjoy the way they work. 17:33 What it means to be the same person everywhere you go, and why authenticity creates deeper connection.

Trevor Canadanian is a Canadian trials rider who has done what almost nobody in the sport has managed - built a full career on a trials bike. Cirque du Soleil. Ringling Brothers. 267 shows in a single summer. Arena performances in Saudi Arabia and across Europe. Now touring with a circus show across UK and mainland Europe at nearly 40 years old, still on the bike, still figuring out what's next.

On the release date of Michael, the (by all accounts terrible) Jackson-estate approved hagiography of the Gloved One, Rebecca and Maya revisit our episode from a year ago about Cirque du Soleil's insane Michael Jackson show, and unpack what it teaches us about how to make a spectacle out of a very bad man. 

Can your birth control really shrink your clitoris by 20%? Why do surgeons need to tilt you like a Cirque du Soleil performer during a hysterectomy? And is sleeping on your left side actually better for your heart and digestion? In this episode, we talk about the latest news surrounding the hormonal birth control pill. In local updates, the Victorian government’s decision to allow pharmacists to prescribe the pill is sparking a massive debate among doctors. Dr Mariam explains the risks of removing clinical oversight, why the pill isn't a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution. And in fake news, the viral ‘clit-bait’ headlines claiming hormonal contraception reduces the size of your most pleasurable body part. We look at why these scary claims are often based on flawed science and why they fit into a broader, more dangerous political agenda aimed at eroding reproductive autonomy. Plus in Med School, Claire shares what she learned from watching a laparoscopic hysterectomy, revealing why internal organs look less like a neat textbook diagram and more like a ‘meat tray’. And in our Quick Consult, Dr Mariam answers Lorraine’s question about sleep positions. We break down the guidelines for side-sleeping during pregnancy, why heart patients might prefer the right side, and why the best position is ultimately whichever one lets you get some rest. This episode discusses recent changes to pharmacy access for some contraceptive options in Victoria. These changes form part of evolving state-based healthcare access models and have been the subject of discussion among clinicians, pharmacists and policymakers.

In today's episode, I chat with Leslie Schilling, a registered dietitian who specializes in working with athletes and disordered eating, about what it looks like when our relationship with exercise is no longer healthy. We get into so much, including:- what exercise dependence actually means (and why it's often missed)- why it's not about quantity—but compulsion, rigidity, and fear- the overlap between exercise dependence and eating disorders- signs your relationship with exercise might need support- why rest days can feel so distressing- exercise as a coping mechanism for anxiety, stress, and discomfort- the subtle difference between: “I want to move” vs. “I have to move”- how body image, food rules, and weight concerns drive compulsive movement- why most people are under-fueling (even when they don't realize it)- “if you fuel it, you can do it”—and what happens when you don'tAbout Leslie: Leslie Schilling, MA, RDN, CSCS, CEDS-C, owns a Las Vegas-based private practice specializing in nutrition counseling for disordered eating and performance nutrition for professional athletes, performers, and military personnel.

You heard from their teacher. Now meet the student. Kei Nguyen trained at Vancouver Academy of Dance, attended one of our very first Accelerate conventions in Airdrie, and went on to perform with Cirque du Soleil in Las Vegas. In Episode 132, Kei's here to tell you how it happened and what they want young acro dancers to know about making this a real career. About Kei Nguyen Kei's story began in Vancouver where, from a young age, they were trained in the disciplined arts of dance and rhythmic gymnastics. Forged further at the Circus School of Quebec, Kei developed a unique approach to staff manipulation. Over the years, Kei has added other circus disciplines under their belt, including hand to hand and aerial pole. Their diversity of skill sets is what sets them apart. Armed with a philosophy that every artistic experience is a feather added to their wingspan, they seek out adventure wherever it calls and leave a trail of sparkle under their feet. Now a traveler of cities and a multidisciplinary artist, Kei uses their learned skills and experience to evoke emotion in all those who witness their magic on stage.Follow Kei on IG at @heyitsk._ A full transcript of the podcast is available here: https://www.acrobaticarts.com/blog/ep-132-what-acro-makes-possible-kei-nguyen-is-living-proof Listen to the partner episode: Ep 130 What Acro Makes Possible with Anabel Ho If you'd like more amazing content more tips and ideas check out our Acrobatic Arts Channel on YouTube.

I sit down with Evan Raskin, National Campaign Manager for Earthday.org, to explore the powerful relationship between art and environmental activism. Evan shares how artists have been central to the Earth Day movement since its very first gathering in 1970 and how creative expression continues to drive climate action today.Evan shares his own life as an artist and how art helps him find harmony in a world full of dissonance. We discuss why collective action — starting at the local level — matters more than ever.

This week, Taylor, Sandy, Doug Jordan and Taddea Richard discuss Barry Keoghan's online abuse, Mohammed bin Salman's latest plan, a doctor eaten by an alligator, a cursed field behind Brighton High School, the slaying of Charlie Kirk's mentor, a killing by a sadistic potato man and much, much more!

For a lot of competition dancers, the question isn't if they'll keep dancing—it's how. College dance teams have become a major pathway, blending performance, athleticism, and opportunity. But making that transition takes more than strong technique. It takes versatility, precision, and a clear understanding of recruitment, auditions, and what these programs are actually looking for.So in this conversation, we're bringing in Derek Piquette founder of PRODIGY - the dance team convention - to dive into what it really takes to go from the competition stage to a college dance team—how dancers can start preparing early, what skills matter most, and how to stand out in an increasingly competitive field.We are so excited to welcome Derek and welcome you all to this week's episode of Two Dance Moms Podcast! ABOUT DEREK: Derek is a highly accomplished performer, choreographer, director, and educator, whose career spans TV, film, live performance, and the commercial dance industry. Derek's credits include SYTYCD, WOD, Cirque du Soleil,  Radio City Spectacular, Netflix, Apple TV+, Amazon, Jenifer Lopez, Juno Awards, NY Fashion week, Steps on Broadway, Broadway Dance Center, And Millenium Dance Complex, to name a few!

P.T. Barnum realized very quickly that entertainment is currency and was one of the first to use outdoor mass media. Dave Young: Welcome to the Empire Builders Podcast, teaching business owners the not-so-secret techniques that took famous businesses from Mom-and-Pop to major brands. Steven Semple is a marketing consultant, story collector and storyteller. I’m Steven’s sidekick and business partner, Dave Young. Before we get into today’s episode, a word from our sponsor, which is, well, it’s us, but we’re highlighting ads we’ve written and produced for our clients. So here’s one of those. [Tommy Cool A/C & Plumbing Ad] Dave Young: Welcome back to the Empire Builders Podcast, Dave Young here and alongside Steven Semple. And if you were going to tell what Steven’s role is in this and what my role is in this, if we were going to use a theme that revolved around today’s topic, it would be Steven is the ringmaster in center ring. Stephen Semple: That’s where you’re going? Okay. Dave Young: And I’m like the chief clown driving the clown car because that’s where I’d rather be. We’re going to talk about Ringling Brothers, Barnum and Bailey. Are we just talking about P.T. Barnum? Stephen Semple: We’re going to talk about P.T. Barnum because that’s really the origin of all of this is. Dave Young: P.T. Barnum. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: I mean, what a guy. And I’ve never read a biography or anything, but what I know is, I’m guessing that he maybe invented the three-ring circus, but it’s the kind of thing where, man, to me, what he invented was just constant distraction. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Right? Like you go to a three-ring circus, it’s just going to be you’re going to be constantly distracted because you can’t see everything that happens in a three-ring circus. Stephen Semple: It’s true. Dave Young: And so there’s so many examples. We can talk about those. I’ll let you get going because I would just talk about all this stuff. Stephen Semple: Well, here’s the interesting thing. There’s a lot of historians who believe that his was the first use of mass outdoor advertising in America. Dave Young: Okay. That, I believe. Stephen Semple: Right? Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: That he really invented the use of that as a medium. Couple of interesting things he went through. So his full name is Phineas Taylor Barnum, and he was born in Bethel, Connecticut in 1810. And he wasn’t born wealthy or talented or connected, but he kind of knew that attention was a form of currency. And it’s kind of interesting when we think about the world today with social media and things along that lines, attention is a form of currency. Dave Young: Oh, absolutely. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And by the age of 12, he was selling snacks, lottery tickets, anything he could do to make a buck. And he was quoted as saying, “I’m a showman by profession and all the gilding shall make nothing else of me,” right? Like he just basically saw those things. So his first commercial breakthrough, and it was also pretty controversial, was promoting Joice Heth, a Black woman, that he marketed as George Washington’s 161-year-old nurse. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Guess what? It was not true. Dave Young: Well, so what year was this? When was this? Stephen Semple: 1835. Dave Young: Good grief. 1835. Stephen Semple: Yeah. Dave Young: Okay. Stephen Semple: Yeah. But, but he was this relentless promoter who believed if there’s no story, there’s no audience. So the next thing he did was what he called the American Museum, and this started in 1841, ran from 1841 to 1865. And basically in 1841, he bought Scudder’s American Museum, and he renamed it Barnum’s American Museum in New York. And basically, again, this is considered one of the very first modern mass entertainment facilities, and here’s what he did. He exhibited things of science, oddity, theater, stunts. There was new attractions weekly, so people had to come back. And there was live performances like the General Tom Thumb, magicians, and the first use of mass outdoor advertising, went all around New York City putting up billboards, pasting billboards up all over the city. And on peak days, it’s reported that on peak days, he drew 15,000 people into a single building without electricity, AC, or cars to transport them around. 15,000 people. Dave Young: Boy. That’s amazing. Yeah. Stephen Semple: And Barnum would talk about people don’t want facts. People want astonishment. So for 25 years, this museum was really the epicenter in America for entertainment until it burned down in 1865. And he lost everything when it burned down. He built a second one. Five years later, it burned down, right? But Barnum realized he was going to reinvent himself again, this time as a public speaker, giving lectures. He did lectures on success and temperance of business. He wrote the book, The Art of Money-Getting. Dave Young: Okay. Yeah. Stephen Semple: In 1871, his biggest, final act was at age 61… So think about this. This is the 19th century, age 61, our age, he decides he’s going to launch the circus, P.T. Barnum’s Grand Traveling Museum, Menagerie, Caravan and Hippodrome. Dave Young: There’s nothing easy about that. Stephen Semple: Right. And this later merged with James Bailey’s to become Barnum and Bailey’s Greatest Show on Earth. Now, here’s the interesting thing that they did. So yeah, it was this massive traveling menagerie. They had to have trains custom-built to move elephants and equipment, and they had the world’s biggest circus tent and performers from all around the world. But the part that’s also really interesting is they had a team of people, who would travel into the towns ahead of them, and they would put up billboards, posters, promote the crap out of it, carnival barkers, all that other thing, and to the degree where even the setting up of the tents became a spectacle. Because, of course, they would use the elephants to raise the tent, and people would gather so they would hear so much about it. People would gather the day that it was coming into town to watch the tents and everything be put up. And he recognized that was part of the show. Dave Young: Yeah. Oh, yeah. Stephen Semple: Part of the show was long before they got there, and then they’re arriving, and then there’s the show, the buildup of all that energy and excitement to the show. And this was the other part I love about. So he would talk about you must capture the attention before you can persuade. So we talk about his Wizard of Ads partners. What is Roy Williams, founder of the Wizard of Ads, say? “Entertainment is the currency used to buy the time and the attention of a busy and distracted consumer.” P.T. Barnum, “You must capture attention before you persuade.” Dave Young: Stay tuned. We’re going to wrap up this story and tell you how to apply this lesson to your business right after this. [Using Stories To Sell] Dave Young: Let’s pick up our story where we left off and, trust me, you haven’t missed a thing. Stephen Semple: P.T. Barnum, “You must capture attention before you persuade.” Dave Young: Mm-hmm. Yup. Stephen Semple: “People remember stories, not features,” he would talk about that, and, “Curiosity is the strongest human emotion,” right? Dave Young: I love it. Yeah. Stephen Semple: These were the things that he talked about. But again, there would be this buildup before he arrived into town. And what’s really interesting, this idea, I did a variation of this idea when I was in university. So when I was in university, I had a business with two business partners. We ran a mobile DJ business, did really super well. We did all the maritime provinces. We did over a million dollars a year in sales doing this. But what do you do in the summertime? Dave Young: What do you do in the summertime? Stephen Semple: Because what we were doing is we were doing, like we weren’t doing weddings, we were doing high school and university dances, so there was nothing for us to do. But what we discovered was, I’m Canadian, what we discovered was every little town in Canada has a hockey arena that’s not being used in the summertime. Dave Young: There you go. So you put on a dance. Stephen Semple: Right. So we would rent the arena for next to nothing. We would put on a dance, and we would charge a gate. So how do we promote it? We had a team of people going into the town a couple of weeks before we showed up with the show, putting up billboards, posters, and talking to people in a town about this show, exactly what P.T. Barnum did, an advanced troop to build excitement for the show that’s coming to town. Dave Young: Yeah. I love it. Stephen Semple: Yeah. It works so well that we actually ended up doing a joint marketing thing after a few years with Pepsi. Dave Young: Very cool. Very cool. Stephen Semple: But it’s that idea, create excitement, create all this stuff, advance in town, and tensions required. Stories are powerful. Curiosity is the most powerful thing. Attention is a currency. Dave Young: Yeah, absolutely true. And when we started the episode, I said, “Oh, he invented the three-ring…” I don’t think he invented it. He knew. I think when I hear the story that he didn’t start Ringling Brothers Barnum and Bailey till he was 61- Stephen Semple: Isn’t that crazy? Dave Young: … he’s just applying all the things he knew. Stephen Semple: Yes. Dave Young: Right? He knew. And I mean, I’ve even heard Roy talk about this. When you talk about going, sending an advanced team to say, “You’re going to be amazed. It’s going to be great. It’s going to be wonderful. You won’t believe your eyes,” you can take that back to… One example is John the Baptist going ahead of Jesus saying, “He’s the Son of God. He’s going to be amazing,” right? But I think you could probably go back even farther. I doubt that there was a Roman circus or gladiator event that didn’t have somebody- Stephen Semple: Oh, God. Hawk it. Dave Young: …screaming about it for weeks ahead. Stephen Semple: I’m sure. I’m sure. That’s a great observation. Dave Young: And then about the same time as this, one of my fellow Nebraskans, Buffalo Bill Cody, was putting together his Wild West Show. And it was actually P.T. Barnum that gave him the advice of taking it to Europe. Stephen Semple: Oh, is that right? Dave Young: Because a taste of the Old West will astonish Europeans. Stephen Semple: That’s really interesting. Dave Young: Right? They’ve read about it. They’ve heard about it, but now you bring these cowboys and rough riders and… Stephen Semple: But what’s really interesting about that is that speaks to his comment, about Barnum’s comment about curiosity being the most powerful emotion. Because taking a show about the Wild West at that time to Europe, of course, people are going to be curious. What’s a cowboy really look like? Dave Young: Yeah. Well, if you do that in Western Nebraska, it’s like, “Okay. Well, so it’s just a bunch of the local town folk got together and are putting on a little rodeo. We’ve seen that.” But people in Europe haven’t. Stephen Semple: And it’s funny, is it Culver’s? Culver’s. That was one of the ones- Dave Young: The hamburger place? Stephen Semple: No, not the- Dave Young: No. Stephen Semple: I’m drawing a brain on the restaurant, but it was one that did the barbecue. And remember he started- Dave Young: Huh. Stephen Semple: … in Minnesota, rather than starting a barbecue place in Texas. And part of it is it would be different and whatnot, but I also wonder if there would’ve been a little bit of curiosity in Minnesota. “Boy, I wonder what really good barbecue tastes like.” Dave Young: Sure. Stephen Semple: Right? Anyway, it’s just interesting that that parallels. But my favorite, my favorite quote of P.T. Barnum’s, and again, who knows whether this is really what he said, but it was one of the ones I came across, and I really liked it. “Without promotion, something terrible happens. Nothing.” Dave Young: Oh, wow. Yeah, nothing. Stephen Semple: Just love that. “Without promotion-“ Dave Young: Ain’t that the truth? Stephen Semple: “… something terrible happens. Nothing.” Dave Young: Mm-hmm. He’s exactly right. Stephen Semple: It’s pretty cool what he did and where his innovation was. And then again, this whole idea of creating interest and excitement ahead of the event. Dave Young: Yeah. Well, I’m glad to hear this story. Thank you for bringing the P.T. Barnum story to the Empire Builders. And that circus went on for a long time. I think it only recently closed down in the last 10, 15 years, something like that. Stephen Semple: What’s really too bad about it is one of the reasons why it was shut down was kind of a lot of things with the animals, and they just didn’t seem to be able to modernize it. So you know how we often talk about look around the world? Right in front of their noses, at the time they were shutting down, right in front of their noses was a methodology that would work, and it was Cirque du Soleil. Cirque du Soleil is just a modernized circus. Dave Young: Yeah. There’s no circus animals, but there’s- Stephen Semple: There’s performers. Dave Young: … performers and a story, a storyline weaved into the whole thing. Stephen Semple: Huge storyline. Huge storyline. And, in fact, when you go to a Cirque du Soleil, the show starts before the show starts. Dave Young: Yeah, yeah. Well, and I would say that another example of that in the constant distraction, constant entertainment is if you follow Banana Ball, Jesse Cole has built this phenomenon that, I’ve been to one and, again, the entertainment starts before the game. You can actually wander around and meet players and get… They have like a parade that they come in. It’s crazy, right? It’s like a circus parade. Stephen Semple: Fun. Dave Young: But it’s constant distraction, and it’s like a circus with a baseball game in the middle of it. Stephen Semple: Nice. Yeah. Dave Young: So lots of lessons to be learned from studying P.T. Barnum. Stephen Semple: And the folks that were running P.T. Barnum at the end, if they had just had their eyes open, they could’ve seen how to do the pivot and how to make it work. Dave Young: Yeah, just- Stephen Semple: And look, and people love nostalgia right now. It could’ve been huge. Dave Young: Well, and Cirque du Soleil has taken their show on the road. Stephen Semple: They do. Dave Young: They did. Stephen Semple: They absolutely do. Dave Young: Yeah. They bring tents to cities all over. Stephen Semple: Yep. They sure do, and I love going to them. Dave Young: So, well, thank you again, Steven, for bringing us P.T. Barnum. Stephen Semple: All right. Awesome. Thanks, David.
