POPULARITY
There are so many things we take for granted we don't even much think about them: they're part of our daily life so we may not even really pay them much attention. For example, a billboard we pass on the side of the road, or the bar of soap we pick up to wash our hands. What separates creative entrepreneurs from the rest of us is the ability to take those everyday things and come up with a way to reimagine them and make them better so they can reach more people. They're generally the kind of innovations that engender a "Wow, now you come to mention it" response in the rest of us. David Rollins is co-Founder and Director of Sales at Aura Ad Company, a south Louisiana ad agency that has a unique niche in the out-of-home advertising, or what we used to call outdoor advertising, space. Aura specializes in cartop digital billboards. That's right, Aura puts digital signage on top of ride-sharing vehicles or taxis, then pairs the technology in its signs with the GPS technology that most people unwittingly enable on their smart phones, to get an idea of how many people are exposed to the sign and who, demographically speaking, those people are. It's a whole new type of advertising. And it's particularly attractive to small businesses who may not have the budget to hire an ad agency or buy billboard space on the side of the interstate. David is a Baton Rouge native and graduate of LSU, who was working in Austin doing sales for an IT firm, when he came up with the idea for Aura Ad and came home to Louisiana to launch it. Chastity Sanders is Founder and Owner of Bathphoria, a company that sells all-natural organically sourced soaps and bath products. Chastity founded the company in 2019 because she was allergic to many of the soaps commercially available on the market, so she decided to create a line of her own, using non GMO materials. Chastity is a native of Baton Rouge whose background and training as a certified pharmacy technician gave her a first-hand familiarity with the crossroads of chemical science and retail. Since her launch, Bathphoria has been featured on Walmart's online platform and in national magazines, though most of Chastity's sales come from pop up markets and local events.

Lee welcomes director Randall Miller, producer Jody Savin, and writer David Rollins to chat about their new film, Coffee Wars (available now on Prime Video, Google Play, and iTunes).
David Rollins says that back in the 1960s, very few people in Augusta, Maine would have expected a certain high school athlete to one day be mayor. But looking back at his 16 years of civic service, Rollins says this may have been the best period of his life. He ran for office in an attempt to bring more civility to the local government, and he says he will retire this year filled with pride at his city's revitalization. Rollins speaks with journalist Lindsey Christ about why it's important to get involved and how he thinks Augusta has changed. And he explains the very special reason he has decided not to run for a third term as mayor.
Regardless of what you do there needs to be passion, and there was no shortage of this with my guest David Rollins who is the best selling author of eleven books, documentary filmmaker and soon to be credited scriptwriter for an upcoming feature film. He describes himself as a cynical bastard, but I think this makes him a better writer. Today we discuss: His journey from journalist to becoming a professional marketer His prolific book writing skills and his most recent book Kingdom Come, which is the seventh book with action hero and Special Investigations Officer Vin Cooper. Why your job, no matter what you do ends up like Groundhog Day His first booked was a side hustle How writing changed his life, not financially, but it made him aware of what he wanted to do with his life How the publishing industry has changed It's much easier to now to write a book Much harder to find an audience Writing is easy and fun, but it's about commercial success Therefore using a traditional publisher gives you access to marketing When you're writing your book, you've got to tap into the correct audience The USA is the market you want to crack February 2018 Documentary Trial of Midnight Rider - Railroaded In The Deep South, which delves into the conspiracy behind the death of a camera assistant on a 2014 film Midnight Rider about the Allman Brothers. How his life was in danger when he dug too deep Writing Tip: If you're going to write a movie script for a feature film, start with the money first. Get funding, then write the script. At present, he is writing a comedy about the whole coffee subculture. "Coffee snobs are like wine snobs on crack". If you think Trump is an idiot, you'll love his latest book Kingdom Come, but if you think Trump is fantastic, this book will give you the shits. Monday Morning Tip If you want to be a good writer you have to employ all five senses. What is the character feeling, seeing, smelling, hearing and tasting? It makes the characters more real, and there's got to be some conflict.
