French Polynesia Nukutepipi. Paradise Unveiled; One million US dollars a week - that is how much it will cost to hire out Nukutepipi in French Polynesia, a luxury upscale island as far flung from anywhere as you can get in the southern hemisphere of the world. Nukutepipi Island is not a hotel, and its not a private home, instead, it is a full buy out private island luxury experience - that means one buyer, who chooses who to invite to enjoy this extraordinary property. The private island of Nukutepipi is a turquoise lagoon sanctuary, where every artwork is displayed in an open-air gallery, blending seamlessly with its idyllic surroundings. It is a destination for the world's super wealthy, and for those who want a true escape from the paparazzi, from reality, from everything. This incredible island is part of the Duke of Gloucester islands, sitting in the Pacific Ocean, 6000 kilometres from the nearest continent, and 1000 kilometres from Bora Bora. It is owned by charismatic Canadian billionaire and part time astronaut Guy Laliberte who co-founded Cirque De Soleil in 1984. Laliberte bought Nukutepipi and spent 10 years investing in it before opening it to high calibre guests, so it is truly sustainable. Nukutepipi can be hired out for $1 million USD a week, and that is for 16 cabins which can host 52 people. All main stream alcohol and food is included in the price tag, as well as daily massages and water sports. There are 100 staff, high tech amenities, high end artworks, a private cinema, hot tub, kitchen and bar. There is even an observatory. The natural location is stunning an features whales, dolphins and more. Evelyn St Germain is the woman marketing Nukutepipi, this extraordinary property, and who worked in some of the world's most luxury hotels for many years, opening 13 different 4 star hotels globally before opening her own business, League Marketing, which supports high end luxury hotels in terms of marketing, branding , sales and attracting the right audience. Evelyn explains how she created her incredible business in America. league Marketing is celebrating 25 years in business. Evelyn talks about how the luxury hotel business has changed and what we can expect in the future. Nukutepipi is one of her leading - and priciest- clients. Evelyn St Germain also talks about the luxury hotel offerings in Mexico, and in the US on ranches, which are some of her personal favourites, and takes us inside these ranches to explain the adventures clients have there and talks about the global locations she has not yet seen.

In this episode of "Sleepless in Singapore," I recount the final leg of my road trip down the West Coast of the United States, from San Francisco to San Diego, Tijuana, and back up to LA, ending in Death Valley. Our journey begins with a car swap fiasco at the LA Airport, where we end up with a convertible Chevy, perfect for cruising the Californian highways. San Diego offers us a culinary delight at Tacos El Gordo and a vibrant night at the Gaslamp District, while our brief Tijuana adventure is marked by a border-crossing mishap and a memorable breakfast at Georgina Restaurante. Back in LA, we explore iconic spots like Griffith Observatory, Venice Beach, and the Hollywood Walk of Fame, indulging in local flavors at Petit Trois and a Korean BBQ in Koreatown. Our drive through Death Valley is a scorching experience, with temperatures soaring to 49.2 degrees Celsius. The trip concludes with a Cirque du Soleil show in Vegas and a return to Philadelphia for the 4th of July celebrations, before I finally head back home to Singapore.

Preceptors are an important part of the MAT program for future Athletic Trainers. Dr. DJ Gilliland shares what makes a good Call out by name a few of the best preceptors you have known. David Stuckey at Hardin Simmons - instilled in us the desire to give back to the profession. It was our responsibility to mentor someone David Colt or DC hired me out of undergrad. He guided us on how to teach and interact with our students. Kyle Southall at Briarwood Christian in Alabama 48 local preceptors Dustin Rush - What you see is what you get He does a great job of letting students take chances and risks. Dustin has a fantastic debrief with the students. Frank Perez - He is a tough preceptor with a ton of experience.  He is really good. He spent several years with Cirque De Soleil and brings dance medicine into the equation He has a large administrative component to his site. Great communication skills with coaches and admin, and team docs He is an alumnus Always an ear to listen or a shoulder to guide them…we need to guide them more Administrative work: Documentation practices are on par with what is needed for professional communication Team management - day-to-day injury report presentations Working alongside the nutritionist for the team Physician referrals Scheduling Second-year students should be involved with scheduling and communicating with the opponents' medical staff. 5% of the BOC is now about Administration Allow the MAT students to schedule the student coverage Teach them how to manage the student aides Allow them to create an evaluation system Have them look at and update the policies and procedures. Have them look at and update the EAP Teach them to be a mentor to the kids Understanding professional boundaries Mike Ramirez -  “You can not work in the NFL unless you work at a college” Great with organization and teaching the students what to expect. He puts students in charge of making sure the gear is ready They learn inventory Real-world problem solving Writing rehab plans Brenna Ellis - She transformed the experience for our students. They leave feeling like they have grown as an individual and professionals. AT is a family. Supervised Autonomy -  The preceptor should be the patient's advocate Build up the student's trust and confidence by having mock scenarios in downtime. The really good preceptors take advantage of that time. EMS situations Knowing the rules of the sport Use the scaffolding approach to build trust Give them more freedom in lower-pressure situations first. Give them a comfortable environment to fall forward From the students: JP: I felt like my hands were being held the whole time… I was either setting up the field or observing. JP: One preceptor gave us printed steps for taping. So we could use them during independent practice JP: Having a written plan for the athletes to follow helps us grow, but also gives me the opportunity to develop a plan.

How does capitalism connect with our self-worth? In which way does a dancer deal with hundreds of rejections? What does it mean to dare to dream about different things when you are on the top? ARTIST: Nellie Bethel ⁠COUNTRY: Denmark

What a special episode I have for you today. In it, I have a conversation with one of the most renowned choreographers in the world, Debra Brown, who was with Cirque du Soleil for three decades. Not only is she a creative force but she has become a good friend over the years as well. I jumped at the opportunity to bring her on the show and talk about the creative process and, in particular, to ask her about risk-taking and how to keep the flame going in our lives.  One of the central challenges in life involves taking risks: leaving jobs, moving countries, starting new educational opportunities, or, in Debra's case, working with the world's top circus artists and dancers and helping create spectacles that dazzle the human heart and mind. The notion of dying in the creative process--leaving our old selves behind and relinquishing control--has always been close to my heart. It doesn't simply occur in creativity, though. It is an essential metaphor and reality in our lives. We must practice dying over and over again to prepare ourselves for the real thing.  What a treat then for Debra to open up about how this has functioned in her own creative process. To know Debra is to be in the presence of someone who floats. As you'll hear in today's interview, she has a grace about her when it comes to human development, friendship, and risk-taking that is soft, direct, and useful. Many of us need someone in our lives to say yes and to champion us when we are on the edge of something that makes us vulnerable where we cannot see where it will lead us. And as you'll hear today, Debra has been that guiding angel for thousands of artists around the world, never mind the friends and colleagues that have crossed her path. You'll also hear that Debra has rescued hundreds of animals from around the globe and brought them to safety on her beautiful farm in Ontario, Canada so her love knows no bounds.   I don't know that I've ever met anyone like Debra, someone that has an ease with which she shares a kind of joy and experience where people feel safe to be in their bodies and in the moment with her. This comes through in our conversation today so tune in to enjoy it. Show Highlights: How Debra got involved with Cirque du Soleil. Whether she knew it would become the biggest circus company in the world. How art and performing are tied in with emotions. Debra's relationship to the body and language. Why she has never been afraid to risk being on the edge. Why we need allies to take risks. How our childhood trains and chisels us. How Debra takes artists to places they've never been. The particular challenge COVID-19 presented for artists. How to reinvest in your creative life during this pandemic. What Debra loves about working with people and their bodies. When and why she started rescuing animals. Subscribe and Review We'd appreciate you subscribing to this podcast and leaving an Apple Podcasts review.

2000.00.  That averages out to 89.00 per family.   1996         34            $32,280.99 1997       159            $97,848.20 1998      1683         $176,258.15 1999      3565         $189,456.21

purposes, but now that means that the money I put in can go into expanding our programs and doing so much more good than just supporting the animals that I have already taken responsibility for.  I expect 2003 to be a terrific year for promoting compassion in our community.   Our supporters come from all over.   Total number of  families  19,076 From Tampa   4276 From FL, but outside Tampa  9268 U.S. outside FL   5286 Outside U.S.  246       The more I learn about your life the more in awe I am of the struggles you have endured.  Like your cats, you are a survivor, maybe against the odds given what you have had to handle.   This is excellent!  Do you happen to have a way to easily know how much of the donations were from attendance, i.e. people donating when they visit, versus ones like the $10k that people send in unrelated to a visit?   No.  We have a cash box that gets counted down every week, but no breakdown between tours, gift shop items, etc.  We began keeping inventory records this year, so that we can go backwards to calculate the value of things "sold" (we call it a donation, so the prices vary).  This still doesn't help with knowing much about where the income is from.  Jamie was able to track 90k this year from gift shops "sales" and adoptions and memberships.  Jess is working on creating some software for us to help.  Blackbaud charges 10k for their program.  Tracking this information would help us and is on the short list of things to do.   I had the impression the sanctuary started 10 years ago?  Did it start in 96, or was there no visitor program or no records from before then?   We started in 1992 with the rescue mission, but didn't allow visitors until 1996.  Don was always dragging home people and showing off his collection and then one day someone said, "you know, you could charge for this"...   We were writing it off our taxes each year and the IRS said we had to make it profitable or else become a legitimate non profit, so I applied in 1994 and was accepted in 1995.  It took me three times because I didn't know what I was doing.  We had virtually no volunteers prior to 1995.  Don, Jamie and I took care of feeding, cleaning and vet care for over 200 animals by ourselves.  Don called it being semi retired, but I found it cause for a nervous break down every two years.  That is when I would drive to the Keys, and lay in a hammock crying for 3 days straight before coming home to face another two years.  I haven't done that since 1997.   In 1992 we began in November and only rescued the one bobcat at a cost of 680.00   In 1993 and 1994 my secretary kept track of the receipts which meant she kept them in a bag, called "animals".  When I totaled them up they came to 101,555.97 and since there was no income, that was our expense.  It was in 1997 that I compiled these and didn't break them down by the year nor category.   In 1995 I began tracking categories, such as vet bills, food and shelter, etc.   Do you have a breakdown of how this past year's funds were spent?   Yes.  Do you have a fax number?  My mother tracks this with a program that I don't have on my computer (NoteSmith) so I can only get the report by fax.  It is only one page, but a lot of detail.       Dear Howie   My reason for sending you Concentration Camp was two fold.  One, you expressed an interest in the phenomenon and the other was to justify my existence.  The latter, of course, being the more compelling.  The line from Deserata, that I most associate with the song, is "you have a right to be here."  I have never felt that and always believed that I had to justify my right to be here.  Thus the classic overachiever attitude.   My nature is to bond with one person and be the power behind the throne.  The greatest compliment that I ever received was from a fellow investor who told me that she saw Don as being "larger than life".  A newscaster recently used that term about me, but it wasn't as meaningful to me as the compliment that the investor had given.  I love the challenge of rescuing someone, or something (WOES) and turning that into something that people look up to and want to emulate.   My choices in men have been such that I can perpetuate this illusion of being loved, when in fact, I was merely needed.  I could live out this fantasy and turn a blind eye to much of what was real unless inescapably confronted with the truth.  When I hired the bounty hunter to find my husband, and all he found was a long list of Don's lovers, I couldn't ignore the truth.  It took me four months and the mysterious disappearance of my husband to fire my friend and secretary, Anne.  I didn't want to believe that people I loved could do this to me.   When I met Peter, in November of last year, he was living in a garage, had no job and I thought I had met my soul mate.  I had never used that term and never believed in the concept until the first letter I read from him.   I met him via Match.com on AOL.  From the first night we were together, he moved in.  He was a Chiropractor and Acupuncturist but had licensing problems, as I explained before.  He was able to cure some life long problems that I have had with pain and he introduced me to books that I found to validate so much of what I knew to be true about the power of the mind, but didn't know other people had experienced.  He had dreams of what he wanted to do change the world and seemed like the perfect person for me to get behind.   I took over all of his bills, sent him to contractor's school because he couldn't fix his licensing problems, and supported him entirely.  He asked me to devote myself to him alone and I did from the first day.  Three months later, I walked into the office in our home, and he was writing a letter to a woman who had sent him a nude photo of herself from Match.com.  I recognized the logo on the screen as I walked into the room.  He is as deaf as they come, so I stood there, read the letter over his shoulder, and then walked out without saying anything to him.  He didn't know I had been there.   A few days later I asked if he was still using his dating subscription and he denied it.  A few days later, I confronted him with what I had witnessed and he said that it would never happen again.  I didn't believe him, so I created an account, using a photo I pulled off the Internet of an attractive woman, and a profile that I knew would appeal to him and immediately got a response asking me to see him.  I continued corresponding with him to see how far he would take it and in no time he was trying to arrange a motel rendezvous.  I created several such "people" to be sure that he was not just in love with this one I had made to order for him and by April I had intercepted 32 solicitations for sex from him.   I am surely not that stupid; I was just that much in love (or codependent) with him and wanted some evidence that he loved me.  From January to April, I often asked him if he felt that we had moved in together too quickly and suggested if he wasn't sure about us, that I was patient and would be willing to have an open relationship.  He insisted that he wanted our relationship to be monogamous.  In April I told him what I had done and that I had intercepted 32 of his emails asking other women for sex.  I told him the free ride was over and that I wanted him to move out.   He wouldn't go.  He asked me to allow him to take his contractor's exam first so that he would have a trade to support himself and that was in June.  I agreed.  He called me from Miami when he was taking the 3 day exam to tell me he would not be moving out, so while he was gone, I packed up his things, put them in storage and paid up the bill for the next two months.  I put his personal effects in an RV that I had, set it up in a park and paid the rent for the next couple of months, so that he would have a roof over his head.  I even paid for a phone line so that he could continue looking for a woman online who would take over supporting him.   I had involved him in a real estate deal and even after moving him out, continued to correspond with him because there is 117,000.00 at stake there.  Jay Baykal didn't want me to have any contact with any man from my past and insisted that I walk away from the real estate deal.  Peter's "help" with the deal had resulted in him being sued, and I had been protecting him with legal counsel, so I told him to use the real estate proceeds to protect himself because I would not be able to continue helping him.  When Jay Baykal and I broke up, Jay called Peter and told him.  I wouldn't have.   Peter had found a woman in Sanford, whose husband was in jail and he was living with her.  The husband was soon to be released, and Peter was looking for a place to live.  He never said, but my guess is that he sold the RV.  He had discounted the 117k deal to 35k to get out of the legal mess he had caused, but couldn't get the deal to close and asked me to step in and make it happen for him.  I have been paying him to come take care of my pain issues with acupuncture, once a week, but have done it more because he needs the money than because I need the relief.   As his time draws to a close where he is, he has been putting increased pressure on me to let him move back in.  I was seeing him once a week or once every other week, but believed that if it were not for the money he wouldn't be coming here, and told him so.  He is afraid now that I won't give him the money from the real estate deal and I have been wrestling with that, since the only contribution he has made was to screw things up, but that is an entirely different matter, regarding ethics.  I would like your input on that, because of your high standards, but fear I wouldn't trust your advice because you will probably tell me what I expect to hear.   Friday he asked me why I was content to be so far from him, which loosely translated to,  "why can't I move back in?"  This was the question that precipitated the meditation.  The vision illustrated that I give of myself to others, to the point of starvation (for love) and that I entrap myself in these situations where I feel like a victim.  The escape from the concentration camp depicts my feeling of freedom for the first time in my life.  It is scary out here on my own.  I don't know where I am going.  It is cold and lonely.  But I am ecstatic at being free from this self destructive pattern.   I don't know how to be single and worse how to maintain it.  In the past I would commit to the first man that crossed my path and asked me to, and that has never been good.  The reason I feel the need to justify my existence is because you are different.  You are strong and self-sufficient.  You are capable of taking care of yourself and it spills over to the way you take care of those around you.  If any man ever deserved the devotion of a good woman, it is you.  Being with you is such a pleasure.  There is no down side, no trade off or nor compromise.  It is just wonderful.   You haven't asked me for a thing and are such a departure from what I have come to expect as the norm, that I don't know how to behave around you.  It would do no good to tell me to be myself, because my "self" has always been merely the reflection of what the man in my life needed me to be.  I don't know how to remain free of the patterns of the past, other than to not do what I have done, repeatedly without success, before.  If I continue to date others and resist becoming too emotionally involved with you, then it is different from what I have done before.  Who knows if that is better, but at least it is different.   When you say that these are not tough acts to follow, at some point you are bound to wonder why, with all that you are and all that you do, aren't you the center of my universe?  If any man in my life was worthy of such adoration it is you.  The only thing that holds me back from that is the past and not wanting to repeat it.  It hurts to feel that what you are and what you give is not appreciated and I wanted to let you know that I do recognize what a unique individual you are.  I felt compelled to justify what must seem like my profound blindness in not acknowledging your value.   On another note, I have been musing all morning about your view of yourself at a distance and how that can put things in perspective.  I have always been egotistical and prideful, and think those to be negative attributes, but never thought about how detrimental they are to the spirit until you commented how issues of acceptance and rejection are tied to the ego.  You are right and that is very insightful.  As I practice the exercise I am painfully aware of how insignificant anything I am trying to do really is.  I don't find that comforting, but I can see how it could make specific problems seem inconsequential.  The most valuable lesson I am learning from your words is that there is great benefit in doing the right thing for the right reasons, without concern for how it affects me or the way I am perceived.  There is a lot more to it than that, but I can't quite articulate it yet.   Interesting that Sydney was living out my fantasy, but at a different time than when I was thinking it.  On the way home last night I was thinking about your offer to let me sleep over.  I was thinking what a nice gesture that was on your part; but that to do so would involve me crawling all over you all night and not letting you sleep.  I didn't want you to think that your offer was not appreciated, since I seemed to blow it off with an observation on traffic patterns.  I know that I would be laying on you or hovering over you watching you sleep and that come morning I wouldn't be able to leave you alone.  (While that may be nice on occasion, you could find it a little obsessive.)  Spending the night is how all of my cohabitation nightmares have started and I really want this relationship with you to remain good.  For now it is best if Sydney live out my fantasy for me.  Perhaps she and I could exchange some remote viewing and sensing! ?  I will chase squirrels here for her.   I sense that you are understanding and patient and I am thankful to have this opportunity to come to know you.  I am fully enjoying the experience.  Carole   16 Dec 2002 08:10:09   You asked: "If you were able to raise additional money, what would you do with it?  Is there room to build more cat-a-tats so you could house more cats, or would it go for other purposes, and if so, what would they be?"   The problem of surplus exotic cats cannot be cured by building more cages.  As long as the public will pay to see a cute new cub at the zoo, or will pay to see animals perform, or will pay to have someone drag a cat on a leash into a school or civic hall, or will pay to buy one as a status symbol, or will pay to have their fur, there will always be more cats needing refuge than all the sanctuaries in the world can handle.  Changing the world's perception of the value of an animals' life is the only way to end the abuse.  If we can do that, then all life will be perceived as precious and therein is the answer to all our woes.   This is where most people interject, "You can't change the world!"  To which I want to know, "Why not?"  Is there anybody out there who doesn't want to live in a world where people respect each other and care for each other?  Even the most evil of humankind responds positively to kindness when it is lavished upon them.  Changing perception is a big challenge, but not insurmountable because the end result is something that everyone wants.   Any money we can raise over and above the needs of the existing animals on Easy Street should go toward education.  Public perception is often molded by peer pressure.  Smoking used to be portrayed as cool and to reverse the trends in children the campaigns were launched to portray the kids who didn't smoke or use drugs as being the ones who were cool.  It worked.  The same approach works for the fur industry and the groups who are against it.  The side with the most influential media campaign sets the standard.  Groups such as Cirque De Soleil show us that we can be mesmerized and entertained without calling for the suffering of non human animals.  I was mightily impressed with Land Rover's ad depicting the owners of an expensive Range Rover on their way to the opera stopping to rescue a stray dog in the rain.   Anything we can do to promote responsibility toward animals and each other leads us to our goal.  The cats on Easy Street reach people with the message more effectively than any other medium I know.  So many times I have heard men, who had been dragged there by their wives, say that they had been hunters and that after having petted a bobcat they could never pull the trigger and end the life of such an incredible animal again.  I cry saying that, because it is that sort of awakening in man, that touches me so deeply.  We are all one.   So many people think they want them as a pet, but they come out there and see cage after cage of animals that didn't work out and they hear the stories about the owners selfishness that resulted in the animals being abandoned.  I have received countless letters and calls from people who said they always wanted a tiger as a pet, but after learning what it is really like and how the animal usually ends up, they were glad they didn't buy one.  In truth, I think they realize that they don't want to change their lives for an animal and that they would be the ones perceived as selfish if they dumped the cat, so it no longer appeals.  Whatever the motivation, I am always happy to hear that they changed their minds.   At the beginning of the tours people are always yapping about the performance they saw some big cat do in Las Vegas until they see the results of the animals that wouldn't perform.  With just one visit, perceptions start to change.  98% of the people who answer the question on the release forms, say that they heard about us through word of mouth.  The money best spent in changing perception is in getting more people in front of the cats, with qualified guides, who can help tell their story.  We are, first and foremost, for the animals in our care, a sanctuary.  With that in mind, the increase in traffic will always have to be done in such a way that the animals see it as beneficial.   Our Big Cat Expedition accomplishes that.  It is an experience people cannot get anywhere else.  It generates 1/3 of our income and most importantly, the cats love it.  Sitting in a cell all day for a crime you didn't commit would make any animal crazy.  The interaction the cats get with guests and with keepers and the stimulation to learn new behaviours is the high light of many of the cats' days. Participation in this activity is limited only by our ability to make people aware of its existence.  We have begun plans to incorporate the local hotels in bus trips for their guests to WOES for this "keeper for a day" program.  We cannot house more than 4 families overnight (1200.00 per day at full capacity), so we are hoping to utilize the local hotels bedrooms to increase visitation.  We have 200 animals in need of enrichment and typically, at full capacity we have two tour groups handling no more than 6-8 cats each.   There is a huge opportunity for expansion here.   With 200 animals, that is 25 sets of 8 animals each.  Without the cabin portion, each visitor is paying 100.00 per person.  If the tour groups were limited to four guests and one handler, that generates 400.00 per set of 25 or the potential of 10,000.00 per day.  Current expenses are under 1000.00 per day.  We are spending all day with these people, as opposed to a two-hour tour, so we can fully indoctrinate them with the issues the animals face and what they can do to help.   I rather like the concept of using the problem to cure it.  This sort of exposure and income then starts to be capable of making a much bigger impact.  We can lead by example and help other sanctuaries do the same thing.  As long as we stay pure to our goals, and put the animals needs first, we can reach a much broader cross section of the country.  We belong to an accreditation group called, The Association of Sanctuaries.  It is a regulatory group that only gives its stamp of approval to refuges who do not breed, sell nor exploit the animals.  There are less than 50 such qualified facilities in the U.S. and we are the only one in Florida and the only one nationally that specializes in cats.  I would propose that any group instituting such a program subject themselves to the policing of TAOS to insure the quality of life for the animals and the conformity of the message we are trying to convey.   I would like to see a lot more money go into outreach programs, including schools, colleges, library programs, summer camps, and video productions for the increasing television market that now has entire stations dedicated to animal issues.  Our school system is not equipped to teach anything about conservation, responsibility nor making intelligent choices.  I wish to infiltrate that system with programs that we can provide for free because all the knowledge in the world is useless if we can't breath the air nor drink the water because no one ever taught us that we can make that difference.   When I ask my volunteers why they work in the bitter cold, washing out water dishes with their bare hands or in the sweltering heat, shoveling poo they invariably say it is because they are making a difference.  We all have that need, at varying levels, and it is money well spent to show people that we all have that ability by making responsible choices in how we spend our money and our time.   As public perception begins to shift, we can drag the Neanderthals of our society along for the ride, by encouraging laws that protect the animals from cruelty, canned hunts, fur farming and the like.  We need better laws, stricter penalties and more money devoted to enforcement.  No More Homeless Pets is another project that is a self curing promotion.  As we reach people with Why it is necessary to spay and neuter their pets and Why they should adopt from shelters, rather than support breeders, we are instilling the fundamentals about respect for life that will ultimately heal the situation.   SAFEinTheWild (Saving Animals From Extinction In The Wild) is near and dear to my heart, and is what the name implies, but it is pretty far down on the list of important things to do.  I support several projects on a limited basis and would love to make a huge impact in time.   I am so happy with the progress that I have seen in our society over the past few years that I have been aware.  The changes for the better are more dramatic with every passing year.  I apologize for inundating you with far more information that you have time to read.  I want to thank you for asking because it has been helpful for me to take stock in where we are and where we are heading.       Have your earrings and we forgot the Lion donations.  Will hold for next rendezvous.   Subconsciously am I always leaving something to have an excuse to come back?  Hmmmm.   I just got a note from Anissa, our Educational Director saying that someone from Raymond James is donating 10,000.00 to our educational program.  They have never even seen our facility, but are coming out on the 29th.  They said they found us on the Internet.   Food for thought:  With all the work you are putting into presenting us to the friend of your friend, can you duplicate it and make a living from it?  I have heard that grant writers can make a very good income and that is, I believe, based on performance, which naturally would mean that WOES would benefit tremendously, thus relieving an enormous burden from my shoulders... Something to think about before you commit to a 9 to 5 somewhere.   Jamie told me today that Ringling asked her to prepare a letter about WOES that they are sending to 1,000 people who will be attending their pre-show by invitation only.  The letters gives them the option of letting their 10.00 ticket price be donated to us, or just go the circus.  I thought this was pretty clever on Feld Entertainment's part as it will let them know what the percentage of their invitees think of as being important.  If they had any doubt about the benefit to them of promoting us, this should show them it is a great move.   MOSI is coming out for their second tour in the past month and they say they are excited about the opportunity of joining forces with us.  They wanted to do an IMAX movie here, with a crew of 600, and I said that isn't going to happen just yet, so they want to come out and run something else by us.  So many exciting things are happening!   There are 16 parcels that I am going to bid on tomorrow, so hopefully I can pick up a few.  It is very rare that there are so many good ones.  All of them are vacant lots though and nothing too terribly exciting.  I hope your "short project" is challenging and rewarding for you.  Kiss the cats for me.   I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened.

John and Olivia are joined this week by @RealSuzieP to argue about Voyager's The Thaw, where Harry Kim gets stuck inside a computer simulation of a nightmare-inducing episode of 1960's Batman with a terrifying Grey Clown man, while Tuvok is a coward and Janeway still manages to be a badass.

My conversation with journalist and author, Ivor Davis, who traveled with The Beatles during their first tour of the United States in 1964, continues. Davis provides insight into the group's journey from making 1-Cent per album to big finanacial changes after their manager, Brian Epstein died. Davis is the author of The Beatles and Me on Tour, and says "no one ever asked me about the money aspect of the band."

In today's show, Nina and Roger interview “Duo Transcend”, Mary Wolfe-Nielsen, and Tyce Neilson – a married couple from Salt Lake City, Utah who specializes in duo trapeze and diving. Mary and Tyce have performed on prominent shows like America's Got Talent and Cirque De Soleil as well as their  special performance on Ellen Degeneres Show. Nina and Roger kick off this special show by asking Mary and Tyce to share how they first met and started dating. While Tyce comes from an entertainment background, Mary is a trained ballet dancer who moved from West Virginia to Utah.

The Beatles Multi-Track Meltdown features stripped down, deconstructed mixes of classic Beatles songs, live cuts, solo material, demos, and much more. By highlighting different instruments and vocals you will experience these songs in a way that you've never imagined. In 2000 George Harrison discussed the idea of using the Beatles music for a Cirque De Soleil show with his friend Guy Laliberté, the co-founder of Cirque De Soleil. Three years later an agreement was made between McCartney, Starr, Harrison's widow Olivia and Lennon's widow Yoko Ono to create LOVE, a show that was the first of its kind. But before LOVE creative musicians, producers, and engineers created their own mashups without access to the original multitracks that were made available to the Martins. Tonight we're going to explore the world of Beatles remixers and hear their innovative creations, so turn off your mind relax and float downstream with Volume 1 of the Beatles Mashups and Remixes.

How to Think About Giving up Your Day Job for an Online Business In today’s lesson I want to tell you a story - a story of advice I was given when I was starting out that I ignored - a story of regret and a story that I hope might move you to taking some action! Listen in the player above or here on iTunes.

As I said, my name is Darren Rowse and I’m the blogger behind problogger.com; a blog, a podcast that you’re listening to now, an event, a job board, and series of ebooks all designed to help you as a blogger to grow your audience. And if you haven’t started a blog, to start a blog too and to make money from that blog. You can find out more about problogger at problogger.com. In today’s lesson, I want to tell you a story. It’s a story of advice that I was given when I was just starting out, advice that it turns out I completely ignored. It’s a story of regret and a story that I hope might move you into taking some more action in your blog and your business. Have you ever been given the advice don’t give up your day job? Back in 2004, I was given that advice numerous times, quite a few in fact. I’ve been blogging for about a year and a half and I just discovered that you could make money from blogging. Now, by no means was it much money. I was only making a few dollars a day at first but I was beginning to see the possibilities of monetizing blogs. The dream of going full time as a blogger had begun to grow in my mind. At first, I didn’t tell anyone about this dream of going full time with my blogging but as my income begin to grow, I couldn’t help myself. I began to tell a few friends and family members about these dreams. Whilst most of my friends and family were very encouraging, or at least they humored me without saying anything negative, I did get that advice quite a few times when I would tell them that one day I might become a full time blogger. Their advice was “don’t give up your day job.” Often, those words were said in a gentle, joking tone. It was kind of almost like a “don’t give up you day job.” It’s kind of a funny saying people would say. But sometimes, they were actually telling me not to give up my day job and their advice was well meaning. And in some ways, it was wise advice too because who had ever heard of a full time blogger back in 2004? Most of my friends didn’t even know what a blog was, let alone know of anyone who was a full time blogger. There was some wisdom in their advice and it was well intentioned. I didn’t take it to heart and I certainly didn’t let those words have much of an impact upon me because basically over the coming years, I did begin to give up my day job. I would say actually it was day jobs because at that time, I was working a number of part time jobs. I was working as a youth worker and a minister in a church. I was working in a factory packing parcels, I was working in an catering kitchen putting food on trays, I was working as a casual laborer doing things like assembling Cirque De Soleil tents. I only did that one day, it was too hard for me. I was also studying part time. I had the luxury of having lots of different jobs that I was working. Gradually over the coming year or so, I began to give up those day jobs. It was a gradual process, it certainly didn’t happen overnight and it took me a year or so to really give them all up to the point where I was a full time blogger. I will link in today’s show notes to the full story if you are interested in reading that. Over that time, I did begin to give up those day jobs.

Cirque De Soleil, Waze, Starbucks, Curves, iTunes....these are all game changers and they've all used blue ocean strategy to get where they are. Blue Ocean Strategy is a radical change from the traditional way of thinking about business.  Most industries still focus on the same customer base, in the same overall way.   That traditional approach is red ocean thinking.  Like sharks, everyone is trying to live off the same prey (customers.)  Blue ocean turns away from the crowded space and looks for new opportunities. If you're tired of doing business like everyone else, here's how to develop Blue Ocean Strategy. Look beyond your current customers Look to other industries/models Look for the gaps in your industry Look to the future   Want exclusive content?  Join our Private Facebook Group!   Welcome to the Onward Creatives Podcast.  A space to develop and grow your creative potential.
