Episode Highlights: Here are some power takeaways from today’s conversation: What Josh wants to be known for His early years in the acting and film world How to get to know your podcast guests better (especially those you already know) Why asking spitfire questions is great Asking questions that foster storytelling Episode Highlights: Stop Hiding in Fear Many people are hiding behind fear so they end up not showing up in every situation. Fear paralyzes them to make the move which they know they're capable of doing. Therefore, take action and power through in every possible way to your fullest extent. How to Get to Know Your Guests Better, Especially Those You Already Know Bring them on and talk with them for 20-30 minutes just in a "getting to know" kind of way. You're not talking about business and it makes for a good conversation. Ask spitfire questions just to bring in a new flavor to the episode. This is exciting from the guest’s perspective. It feels good to be on the receiving end of these questions and get to answer them. Why Asking Spitfire Questions is Great There's this non-committal that you're going to go where it goes post-questions. You don't necessarily have to stop the conversation. But you can take it another five or 10 minutes if you want. Regardless, that's the episode and it doesn't have to be rebranded. And that’s a good way to get to know people you already know. Everybody has a story to tell. So let them tell stories. These types of questions foster thought, which is sometimes missing when you're a guest on a show, especially when they already know your story and you know where the conversation is going to go. By asking spitfire questions, your guest will be excited to share their answers because you, as an interviewer, don't know the answers.

ONCE UPON A GENE - EPISODE 018 Distressed Genes Aren't Just a Fashion Statement Self care is more than a buzzword or a good intention. Synthiea and I are discussing how we create space for self care, mental and physical health and how doing small things can make a big impact. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS Here are some things you can do to manage stress, take care of yourselves and find some calm in the tornado that is parenthood with a child with special healthcare needs. Sign up for a meal delivery subscription This varies your menu so you're not eating the same things all the time and the meals are typically quick and easy to prepare. Carve out some alone time Even if you simply wake up before anyone else to have a quiet morning cup of coffee, find time to be alone. Wind down at night Take time before bed to catch up on a tv show or to catch up with friends. Set boundaries with stress If you're dealing with a stressful situation or an upcoming event that feels stressful to you, say no to those around you who take an additional toll on your mental health.Say no to things that bring up emotions you don't have time for or situations that wear you down. Find a group of other parents to connect with Whether it's a local group you get together with or a group of parents on a social media platform, find other parents you can turn to who get it. Learn to breathe Learning to breathe properly is a skill that can help to calm yourself down and refocus. In a high- stress environment, this is an easy tool to use to bring your anxiety and heart rate down. Find the humor in your reality Use sarcasm for self-care, calling the hospital the spa for example. Where that fails, there's antidepressants! Skip appointments when needed Sometimes you just don't have the energy to get to appointments and it's okay to have those days. Don't feel bad about it. Sometimes your kids need a break too. Do a detox If healthy eating hasn't been at the top of your self-care list, do a detox to reset your system. Take a walk Get out of the house and get some fresh air. Pamper yourself If you like to take time to get your nails done, make some time every couple of weeks for some pampering. Throw in a facial and spa day too while you're at it! Tune out the world Put on your headphones and tune into something that makes you happy– your favorite playlist, podcast or audiobook. Try journaling Journaling can be a therapeutic way for you to process through or purge thoughts. Keep a neat home (or don't) If added mess around the house contributes to your stress, tackle small projects that make you feel better like cleaning the kitchen or organizing a drawer. Find quick tasks you can complete in ten minutes or less that offer a big emotional return. Accept help If someone wants to do something for you, let them help you. It makes them feel good and it gives you a break. People, in general, want to take care of one another so let it be. I want to hear from you if there's something you do for self-care that we didn't cover in this episode. Let me know on Instagram, what is something that someone could do for you that would make a big impact on your day?

Have you ever wondered why someone that seems new on the scene seems to come out of nowhere to become an overnight success? Or is it just a myth of overnight success? In this episode, we talk about the myth of overnight success and share some examples of people who appear to be overnight successes in social media marketing, but who really built their skills the old-fashioned way. By hard work. Episode Highlights: Here are a few people that Madalyn and Kami watched as they came on the scene and heard people say were “overnight successes.” You can read their back stories on the links to see that they were anything but. They did leverage all of their experiences before, and some were even well known in other industries. Brian Fanzo got his start in Meerkat, which was a live stream program that was crushed by the release of Periscope. Brian took advantage of the live streaming technology to get widespread recognition. He was at the right place at the right time, getting seen by all the industry experts. They took notice of him, and next thing you know, he was speaking across the world. Before he broke out on the online marketing scene, he has a successful career in Cybersecurity. Sunny Lenarduzzi is a YouTube star doing business to business videos starting her career in news media. She started working for a news organization and knew how to be on camera in a good way. Moving away from that, she used Periscope and YouTube to talk to her audience and expanded into the videos she does today. She collaborated with others to do a promo with Applebee’s which was marketed really well and was really successful with over 1 billion impressions. (Related: Listen to a recent episode with Sunny about how to rock YouTube). Mike Stelzner rocketed to the top and is known as the CEO of Social Media Examiner which is a blog dedicated to social media marketing. He also has the largest social media podcast called The Social Media Marketing podcast. Here is what Stelzner did before he took the social media blogging world by storm. He was known for being the Whitepaper expert, and he helped many companies write these persuasive essays to build their business and wrote books about it. Hard work made it easy to pivot into a new, but closely related industry. Are you ready to find your path to success like Brian, Sunny and Mike. We went over a few keys to get there, but it probably won’t get you there overnight. Be Consistent If you lose your consistency, you lose your voice. Choose your platform and show up every day. Check in on your secondary platforms and find a frequency you can adhere to. Let Your Work Speak for Itself Keep your work at excellent levels and people will take notice. People are always looking for good content, fresh ideas and things to talk about. Don’t Compare Yourself to Others You have something specific to give. Figure out what that is, then share it. Look at your competition, audit them and find a gap that isn’t being covered, rather than compete with them. Be Head Down and Focus on You What can you bring to the table that’s different? Take courses and listen to books to better yourself and learn more. Collaborate, Collaborate, Collaborate Find opportunities to partner up with someone in your network and collaborate on something together. That is how we started this podcast. Build on your relationships to find common interests. Tap into your network to start a new project, write a blog post or start a podcast.
