Podcasts about gigs

You've heard it over and over - "take the leap of faith"..."pursue your passion"......and all of the voices seem to say that being a creator is all or nothing. If you have a 'backup' or traditional 9-to-5 job, somehow, you're not doing it right. In an age where so many options are available to creators to help them monetize and grow careers, the pressure is on many faith-focused, well-meaning Christian creative people to leave their jobs and try to earn their living strictly from their creative gifts. Is that true? Or is it a flawed perspective that gets people to take steps they don't have to take? We explore why the "full-time creator" might not be for everyone in this episode. Want more help with making the decision? Try our resource - 4 Questions to Ask before Going Full-TimeTap to send us a text!

What happens when raw talent meets unwavering authenticity in a music industry that often values trends over substance? Ben Gallaher's story provides a refreshing answer. From his early days beating on soup cans with pencils in Pennsylvania to becoming a guitar virtuoso whose viral riff captured 35 million views across social media, Ben's journey embodies the true spirit of musical craftsmanship.The conversation takes us through the reality behind the glamour of "getting a record deal" – the regime changes, shelved recordings, and difficult decisions that tested Ben's commitment to his authentic sound. Rather than conform to the pop country trends that didn't fit his rock-infused vocal style, he chose the harder path of staying true to himself. "I'll be damned if I'm gonna go out and play shit that I hate," he candidly shares, revealing the courage required to maintain artistic integrity in an ever-changing industry.Perhaps most moving is Ben's decade-long commitment to performing at state prisons throughout Pennsylvania. These raw, vulnerable performances connected his music with men at their lowest moments, demonstrating music's power to transcend circumstances. When an inmate who'd been incarcerated for 20 years told Ben his songs "changed my whole outlook on life," it crystallized why authenticity in music matters so deeply.Now working with producer and beloved TTIAST co-host Neil Thrasher, Ben continues crafting music that honors his distinctive sound – guitar-driven, melodically rich, and genuinely reflective of who he is as an artist. His new EP featuring the single "Bullet" showcases this commitment, while his partnership with Thrasher promises even more honest, compelling music on the horizon.Ready to experience what happens when authentic country meets rock-infused guitar work? Listen to Ben Gallaher's music, watch his powerful "Bullet" video, and witness an artist who understands that in music, as in life, the journey matters as much as the destination.The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!

Show Notes: The Power of Liking for SpeakersWelcome back! In this solo episode, John dives into one of Robert Cialdini's most underrated principles of influence—liking. If you've ever wondered why some speakers seem to get booked again and again, or how you can turn your audience into true fans without changing a word of your keynote, this episode is for you.Introduction: Why Liking MattersJohn kicks things off by sharing why understanding the principle of liking is a game-changer for anyone who wants to get booked, rebooked, or simply make a bigger impact as a speaker. It's not just about what you say on stage—it's about how you connect with people, both on and off the mic.The Science Behind LikingDrawing on Cialdini's research, John explains that we're all more likely to say “yes” to people we genuinely like. He shares his own journey, from starting out with a small audience to building a platform and podcast, all by focusing on curiosity, generosity, and authentic relationships.Real Connections vs. Transactional InteractionsJohn gets real about the difference between building genuine connections and falling into the trap of being transactional. He shares stories from his own experience—how being easy to work with and showing appreciation opened doors to new opportunities, referrals, and collaborations.How to Be More Likeable (and Why It Matters)This chapter is packed with practical advice. John talks about the importance of using audience-relevant language, sharing stories (especially the ones where things didn't go perfectly), and being open about your own quirks and mistakes. He reminds us that being likeable isn't about flattery or people-pleasing—it's about being real, approachable, and easy to work with.Likability Killers to AvoidNot everything is sunshine and roses—John also covers the behaviours that can quickly destroy likability. From being overly self-focused or inauthentic, to lacking emotional presence or coming across as rigid, he explains why these habits can hold you back as a speaker.Authenticity Over PerfectionOne of the big takeaways from this episode is that you don't need to win everyone over. In fact, trying to please everyone is a losing game. Instead, focus on showing up as someone who's trustworthy, warm, and competent. Likability can't make up for a bad talk, but it can turn a good one into something unforgettable.Wrapping Up & What's NextJohn closes the episode by encouraging you to be the speaker people want to work with and invite back. If you found this valuable, don't forget to like, subscribe, and check out the links in the show notes for free tools to help you build ethical influence. And stay tuned—the next episode will explore another of Cialdini's heavy hitters: reciprocity.Thanks for listening!

Just mucking around with stories — so these are two different readings of the same story. The audio and video are separate recordings, so you can listen to the audio above on its own, or with reading the story below. Or you can watch the video. Or any combo…Click:They'd met at a café. First impressions were awful. But by coffee number three, things had reset. She'd spilled a drink on his lap. He laughed it off. She blushed and grinned. It was already a story.The click was instant. Like a fridge magnet finding its place. A done deal.One month later, they were living together — one main room and one bedroom, a third flatmate named Mike. A quiet mechanic who mostly kept to himself. Cheap rent, just for the couch, but every little bit helped them.Tama didn't have much of a job — calling himself a musician was generous. A keyboard player in a band that scored bar gigs twice a month if lucky. Miri was at polytech, studying photography. She worked harder than him, that was clear. Mike often loaned Tama money.One night, Mike brought his workmates around for drinks. Miri wandered through, taking photos, ignoring a few crude shouts. Tama came home when the drinking games were mid-chant, whisked her away for coffee and cake.It was over a slice of pecan pie that she told him.“I'm pregnant.”Tama choked. Coughed. Wiped his mouth. “Come again?”“You won't actually need to”, she said, with a laugh. “Two months,” she said more calmly.“What the fuck are we gonna do?” His voice cracked.“Become parents.”He stared at the table. His chest fluttered with something between panic and awe. “Seriously, Miri…”“I'll finish my course. You'll get a job. We'll figure it out.”And somehow, that calmed him. They hugged in the middle of the café. Someone clapped. They left grinning.Back home, Mike and the other mechanics were stoned in the lounge, listening to Genesis. Tama muted Phil mid-scream. The word “mama” left hanging in the air that night. “I'm gonna be a dad!?Mike blinked. “Huh?”“We're pregnant!” Miri confirmed.“Fuckin' A. Wanna toke?”“No thanks,” Tama said. “Big night. Early to bed for me.” He looked at Miri. “Coming?”“In a sec,” she said. “I wanna finish this roll.”He left.Mike turned to her. “You wanna toke?”“No thanks,” she said. “Weren't you listening? I'm pregnant.”“So?”“I'm having a kid, Mike. I can't smoke pot.”He shrugged.Then she walked over. Took his arm.She whispered, “it's yours”.“What?”“The baby. Mike.”He stared at her. “It was one time.”“I know!”“I was wasted. That never even… I didn't even…” He trailed off. “Fuck.”“I couldn't tell him.”“You should've. It was just once!”“I can't lose him. He's the one. He'll be an amazing dad. You know it.”He slumped into the couch. Ready now for bed also. “What are you asking me?”“Nothing. Just your silence.”He nodded. “Okay.”“And you'll move out. Before the baby's born.”Another nod.“I'll never ask for money. This is my life. His life. We'll make it work. He doesn't need to know.”“What about a paternity test?”She slapped him.He didn't flinch. Just looked at the floor. “Alright,” he said. “I'll move out.”Four months later, he did.Tama had paid him back. Gigs were steadier. He'd started giving piano lessons too. Miri finished her course, took a job at a front desk. They turned half of their bedroom into a nursery. It was working. But the baby monitor wasn't. Tama could not work out how to set that up.Trina arrived, no troubles. Seven pounds, four ounces. The couple wept. Mike visited once. Brought flowers. Held the baby longer than Miri expected.“She's got her father's eyes,” Miri said. And her father smiled.Tama had to get ready for rehearsal. But first, one more check on the baby.Mike whispered, “You think he'll ever know?”“No”, Miri hissed.Mike nodded. “He's a good dad.”Miri smiled. “He is her father.”Tama was holding Trina close, just listening. Mostly awe, not much panic. The heartbeat a tiny miracle.The baby monitor buzzed softly. Voices. Words fading in and out, but one part he heard clearly.He is her father.Sounds Good! is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty is joined by George Kourakos, founder of AMG Media and a Forbes 30 Under 30 entrepreneur, to unpack what it takes to build a thriving startup in Europe's evolving market. George shares how he turned student-run events into a marketing powerhouse working with brands like HP and Lenovo—without any outside funding. The conversation spans key mindset shifts, strategic bootstrapping, the real reason big brands sponsor, and why AI will never replace human touch in high-performance businesses. A must-listen for founders, freelancers, and growth-driven professionals.   About the Guest:George Kourakos is the founder and CEO of AMG Media, a full-scale marketing and event agency that began with grassroots student events and now partners with global corporations. Recognized by Forbes 30 Under 30, George has led major campaigns across Europe and mentors startups on sustainable growth, branding, and strategic planning.   Key Takeaways: Bootstrapping works when you focus on high-value, human-first service. Pitching to sponsors is less about glam and more about timing, clarity, and trust. European startup growth is more structured and fund-accessible but requires a deep understanding of country-specific needs. AI is powerful, but without human insight, it can't deliver meaningful long-term growth. Staying grounded comes from constant learning, late nights, and a strong personal vision—not from external accolades.   Connect with George Kourakos:LinkedIn: George KourakosInstagram, TikTok & Socials: Search AMG Media   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?DM on PodMatch: https://www.podmatch.com/hostdetailpreview/avikTune to all our 15 podcasts: https://www.podbean.com/podcast-network/healthymindbyavikSubscribe To Newsletter: https://healthymindbyavik.substack.com/Join Community: https://nas.io/healthymind   Stay Tuned And Follow Us!YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@healthymind-healthylifeInstagram – https://www.instagram.com/healthyminds.podThreads – https://www.threads.net/@healthyminds.podFacebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcast.healthymindLinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/reemachatterjee/ | https://www.linkedin.com/in/avikchakrabortypodcaster #podmatch #healthymind #healthymindbyavik #wellness #entrepreneurship #startups #europeanbusiness

Possible to profit $200 monthly in side hustles (crafts, gigs and reselling)I have created a projects for my online store, eBay and TikTok.I am continuing side hustles with EPMS Ellis Online and Uber Eats.I am continuing reselling and trying to open another eBay store due to potential traffic being blocked after Vero restrictions.Collin Ecom may be a scam? I'm still waiting on a follow up as I was removed from Discord.

Ever been to a spa?   You get a menu with 12 fancy options… and no idea which one you actually need.   Do you need the Ocean Quartz Detox Wrap for $149 or the Rejuvenating Himalayan Sound Bath Experience for $399?   You have no idea.   Now imagine you're about to spend $5K to $10K (or more), and you're handed the same kind of “pick-your-own-adventure” PDF.   This is exactly what I've seen freelancers do in their sales process, and it's losing you clients you should've closed.   In this week's episode of the 6 Figure Creative Podcast, I break down the “spa menu pricing” trap, and show you how to sell like a doctor instead.   Doctors don't give you options. They listen, diagnose, and prescribe.   That's what your clients want too (bc you're the expert of your domain).   If you want to... Close more gigs Speed up your sales cycle (i.e. how long it takes to close a client) Charge what you're truly worth ...then don't miss this one.

Topics include: the hosts views on violent cinema, the strange life of “the world's most interesting man” and Peckinpah's friendship with Pauline Kael.

Is it possible to discover God's "why" in the creation story? It may seem impossible to be able to figure out God's mindset and purposes when He is all-knowing and we are not...but it's an essential question to ask if we want to truly be fulfilled as creatives.  As artists, musicians, and freelancers, we often focus on the "how" of our craft, but beyond the "how" is a "why." And there's a profound connection between understanding God's creative purpose and unlocking our own creative potential.As we unpack these ideas, which we explore in depth in our new YouVersion reading plan "The Creator's Purpose",  you'll gain a fresh perspective on your artistic calling.
