Starting in her twenties—and quickly shaped by an experience of profound love and loss—Lauren Carroll has devoted her life to the funeral profession and the wider end-of-life field. In guiding people through loss and grief, she's found that creativity can offer the action we instinctively seek. Whether you set up an altar, create a collage, connect with nature, make space to remember, dance, shout, sing, or write… we crave actions that help move and shape our grief. And when creativity is paired with community, it creates a space—both within and around us—where loss can soften, even if just a little. At one point in our conversation, I read a line from The Art of Grieving: How the Arts and Art Making Help Us Grieve and Live Our Best Lives by Sheila Collins: “To what life is this loss calling us?” (Listen in for the full, beautiful story behind that question.) www.lamort.org

Tianna, known for her expertise in personal branding, joins LA in sharing practical insights on incorporating video into daily sales processes to maximize leads, appointments, and sales conversions! "You want people to almost have a deja vu experience when they visit your dealership." - LA Williams The episode dives deep into the fundamental aspects of creating effective sales videos, including the importance of proper setup, consistent backgrounds, and expertly crafted scripts. LA and Tianna stress that video content should be concise, personalized, and built around a clear value proposition to engage prospects effectively.  "Making sure you say the customer's name is super important... everybody's favorite word is their name." - Tianna Mick As the conversation unfolds, they provide a robust framework involving key elements like effective lighting, the relevance of a clean camera lens, and the power of personal connection through direct calls to action, all while implementing new technology such as AI in content creation. For the seasoned sales professional and the novice alike, the insights shared in this episode are invaluable for mastering the art of video marketing in the automotive industry!   Key Takeaways: ✅ Using video in car sales increases engagement and builds trust faster than text or audio alone. ✅ Maintain consistency and brand recognition in video backgrounds to enhance authenticity and viewer comfort. ✅ Essential elements of a perfect lead video: customer's name, vehicle of interest, value proposition, and call to action. ✅ Embrace AI technology to enhance video content creation efficiently and effectively. ✅ Practice and iteration lead to improvement; start shooting videos to develop skills and reduce hesitation over time. About Tianna 'T Got Your Keys' Mick Tianna Mick, famously known as "T Got Your Keys," is a prominent figure in the automotive sales space! Celebrated as the "Queen of Branding", with an impressive record of selling +20 cars per month while consistently being the #1 Grossing Salesperson at her store and generating her own leads/business through her TGotYourKeys.com Website. Tianna has established herself as a top performer and innovator in car sales strategies, with a special focus on personal branding and digital marketing.   Revolutionize Your Dealership with Video Marketing: Insights from the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast Key Takeaways Harness the Power of Video: Video marketing is not just a trend but a necessity in modern car sales, enabling dealerships to create personal connections and reduce the fear of the unknown for customers. Optimize the Basics: Setting up a compelling video involves proper lighting, clear audio, and a consistent, clean background to enhance trust and engagement. Script and Deliver Effectively: Essential elements of a successful video include addressing customers by name, highlighting the vehicle of interest, and concluding with a strong call-to-action.   Leverage Video to Establish Trust and Familiarity In the dynamic world of car sales, the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast delves into the transformative potential of video marketing. LA Williams, alongside Tianna Mick, emphasizes the powerful emotional connection videos can establish, setting a dealership apart in a sea of sameness. "You want people to almost have a deja vu experience when they visit your dealership," LA Williams suggests, underscoring how videos can eliminate the fear of the unknown—a significant barrier for potential buyers. The discussion sheds light on how video marketing can simulate a personal interaction, thus building trust faster than written text or static images. With the capability to convey sight, sound, motion, and emotion, videos can significantly enhance customer engagement, making them feel more comfortable and familiar even before stepping into the dealership. Incorporating video tours of your dealership, for example, ensures customers find the environment welcoming and recognizable. Tianna Mick points out, "walk into, like, a courthouse… you're going to be like, where do I go? I'm nervous." This analogy emphasizes how video tours can transform the customer's first visit into a seamless, almost familiar journey. The Essential Setup for Effective Video Marketing Crafting a compelling video requires a foundational setup that pairs well with the content. As expressed in the podcast, without the right tools, even the most well-intentioned videos may fall flat. LA Williams, despite being visually impaired, stresses the importance of proper lighting and camera clarity, demonstrating that the basics of video production are vital regardless of one's abilities. "Top two things for any video… audio, you gotta have good audio, and… good lighting." The podcast highlights that a clean camera lens and a consistent background are understated elements that significantly impact the quality of video marketing. Tiana Mick advises, "making sure you wipe the front and every single one of the lenses in the back," a small yet critical step that improves visual clarity and viewer engagement. Coupled with a customized, dealership-branded backdrop, these elements ensure that each video serves as a professional representation of the brand, significantly enhancing credibility. Moreover, the consistency in video backgrounds, as noted by Tianna, can reinforce brand recognition, much like how viewers associate a television character with their set environment. This aspect ensures that your audience's focus remains on the message rather than potential distractions, amplifying the overall impact. Crafting and Delivering Your Message Creating a successful video is more than just presentation—it's about crafting a powerful message that resonates. Essential to the video strategy discussed in the podcast is the script, especially emphasizing personalization and value-addition. Incorporating the customer's name into the conversation is not merely courteous but strategic. "Everybody's favorite word… is our names," Tianna Mick asserts, highlighting its efficacy in personalizing communication and fostering genuine connections. The video should also clarify the customer's vehicle of interest while subtly integrating the dealership's value proposition. "Providing value and showing why they need to be purchasing with you," says Mick, ensures the video is informative and persuasive. These aspects are crucial in aligning the dealership's offerings with customer needs, driving engagement and conversion. A compelling call-to-action (CTA) concludes each video, guiding prospects toward the next step, whether scheduling a call or visiting the dealership. As LA Williams articulates, a CTA effectively escalates the interaction, encouraging a seamless transition from virtual engagement to in-person attendance. In essence, adopting video marketing as outlined by the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast participants revolutionizes customer interactions, establishing a bridge between the virtual and physical realms of car sales. Employing these strategies fosters enhanced connections, drives customer comfort, and ultimately, amplifies sales success. These insights are indispensable for dealers striving to stand out and thrive in today's competitive environment. By prioritizing video content, dealerships can not only augment their marketing strategies but also cultivate a genuinely engaging customer experience.     Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.

BEST MOMENTS "I think it's important to realise that there has been a pub here since 1793... We wanted to create a timeless history of a boozer being here." "We purposely tried to put pieces together that look really disjointed and shouldn't work. But I think somehow we're getting away with it." "I think there's probably about 30 individual different things... and we try and do all of them. But honestly, the reason why it's really good is because we sell so much of it." "Art really does bring people together. And then top that up with a nice bit of beer or a Guinness, it really is a good way to get to know people."

“You know it's the way that news passed between villages before there were any written word, you know, for anything to get around. I think we all know that it's incredibly integral to, initially, to survival, let alone to emotion. You know, if you could wrap important news in memorable melodies, then people were going to be less likely to die back in the day. So, I think there's a part of that within all of us. So yeah, I think you can speak very little of the same language but still be connected instantaneously through music. I guess that's what my travels have taught me.” – Luke MoseleyThis episode's guests are a pair of composers and producers who launched creative music agency Hear Me Out because of their frustration with how the traditional agency model removed the musicians from the decision makers. Hear Me Out is now unlocking value for brands with a tool that's been used for decades but is hugely underutilised today – and that tool is sound.Their names are George Holliday and Luke Moseley, and we'll be diving into how sound shapes emotion, memory, and connection from music to business. We'll also hear from them how taking risks, following curiosity, and listening deeply have guided their creative journey.

I guess this is what my travels have taught me.” George adds his thoughts about the different cultural directions music has evolved in, and what they have in common. “I think that's why we always, as a species,” he notes, “come back to percussive elements, more so than we come back to melodic elements. I think there's some kind of group feeling about that as well. There's a togetherness with percussion that really makes it work.”(0:14:20) - Creating Music for Brands With PurposeAs the first half of our discussion concludes, George and Luke explain what inspired them as musicians to found their sonic branding agency...

Story Transcript:Hu: A nap csípős őszi reggelével köszöntött be Budapestre.En: The sun greeted Budapest with a crisp autumn morning.Hu: A város szíve, a Nagy Vásárcsarnok, megtelt élettel.En: The heart of the city, the Nagy Vásárcsarnok (Great Market Hall), was filled with life.Hu: A levegőben a friss kenyér, fűszerek és sült gesztenye illata vegyült.En: The air blended with the scent of fresh bread, spices, and roasted chestnuts.Hu: Lajos állt a csarnok bejáratánál, szemével Zsófiát keresve.En: Lajos stood at the entrance of the market, searching with his eyes for Zsófia.Hu: Őrangyalként vigyázott minden részletre az esemény tervezése közben.En: Like a guardian angel, he watched over every detail while planning the event.Hu: Az évforduló fontos volt neki.En: The anniversary was important to him.Hu: Szerette volna bebizonyítani, hogy még mindig képes valami különlegeset alkotni.En: He wanted to prove that he was still capable of creating something special.Hu: Zsófia közelített felé, karján színes vászonzsákokkal tele friss zöldségekkel és virágokkal.En: Zsófia approached him, with colorful canvas bags filled with fresh vegetables and flowers on her arm.Hu: Egyszerre volt energikus és spontán, de most egy gondolat nem hagyta nyugodni.En: She was both energetic and spontaneous, yet now a thought wouldn't let her rest.Hu: Érezte, hogy Lajos titkol valamit.En: She felt that Lajos was hiding something.Hu: „Mit szólnál egy kis kóstolóhoz?En: "How about a little tasting?"Hu: ” – kérdezte Zsófia mosolyogva, próbálva elterelni gondolatait.En: Zsófia asked with a smile, trying to divert her thoughts.Hu: „Jó ötlet” – felelte Lajos kissé nyugtalanul.En: "Good idea," replied Lajos somewhat uneasily.Hu: Míg sétáltak, Lajos Áronra gondolt.En: As they walked, Lajos thought about Áron.Hu: Áron, a barátjuk, mesterművész és kicsit bohém, akinek hála sok ötlet frissült az eseményre.En: Áron, their friend, a master artist and a bit bohemian, thanks to whom many ideas were refreshed for the event.Hu: De az is biztos volt, hogy Áron hajlamos volt az utolsó pillanatban változtatni tervein.En: But it was also certain that Áron was inclined to change his plans at the last minute.Hu: Ez aggodalommal töltötte el Lajost.En: This filled Lajos with concern.Hu: „Lajos, biztos minden rendben?En: "Lajos, is everything okay?"Hu: ” – kérdezte Zsófia hirtelen, félbeszakítva a gondolatait.En: Zsófia suddenly asked, interrupting his thoughts.Hu: „Természetesen.En: "Of course.Hu: Minden a terv szerint halad” – válaszolta, bár a hangjában ott bujkált a kétely.En: Everything is going according to plan," he replied, though there was doubt lurking in his voice.Hu: A késő délutáni nap meleg fénybe vonta a csarnok és a felhalmozott áruk sokszínűségét.En: The late afternoon sun cast a warm glow over the market and the diversity of piled-up goods.Hu: Az emberek sertepertéltek, és az árusok hangosan kínálták portékáikat.En: People

One of the many special things in Train Dreams, directed by Clint Bentley, is the production design. Nearly every element of each setting feels like it was just sitting there, waiting to be captured. Of course, this is not the case. It was meticulously, carefully planned and built. The Film Stage's Dan Mecca was lucky and honored to speak with Alexandra Schaller, the film's production designer, about the agonies and ecstasies of bringing Train Dreams to life, as well as some earlier, accomplished work in her career. Additional thanks to Schaller, who provided The Film Stage access to mood boards and behind-the-scenes photos from the project.
