Does what you wear truly represent WHO you are? Fashion is one of the most personal and revealing ways that we express ourselves every day, but the powerful industry that makes these clothes is largely hidden from the public - especially when it comes to how Christian values are perceived and treated. In this episode,  you'll find out what really happens behind the scenes in the fashion industry when you're a Christian trying to share and protect your values and beliefs from Micah Lee, a Christian fashion designer and entrepreneur who has seen the risks and rewards of sharing your brand in an ultra competitive arena. Micah founded Emperiol Clothing, an urban street wear clothing line designed to express Christian faith in a size inclusive and modern aesthetic. He shares the reality of building a fashion brand while dealing with the pressure of the industry and those who don't appreciate or understand your faith or belief system. Learn More About Micah and his work: emperiol.comTap to send us a text!

John Otway – self-billed as “Rock And Roll's Greatest Failure” - has played 5,260 gigs in 53 years, a record possibly only beaten by BB King. There are more this autumn of course. He simply can't stop. “People buying me drinks and telling me what a good bloke I am? Why would you stop?” We talk to him here about the art of shambling stagecraft and a life lived almost permanently on the road, which involves … ... a burning desire to perform from the age of nine. … “Don't think before opening your mouth!” … the rhythm of life when you play two gigs a week for five decades. And the value of ‘Micro-stardom' - “I'm at the bar when they walk in”. … seeing the Move, Free and Mott the Hoople in Aylesbury. … how people always noticed him – not least because “I was idiot-dancing by the bass speakers”. ... his first performance, a massively overwrought version of Peter Sarstedt's Where Do You Go To My Lovely. … best-selling Otway merch - “I Can't Believe It's Not Better!

Episode Description  In this episode of the Wellness Pro Show, Cate sits down with Antoniette Roze of SpeakPact.com, a leading expert in helping speakers transition into the professional business model of speaking. Antoniette shares her personal journey into the wellness speaking space, sparked by a health issue at a young age and a realization that people were ill-informed about their health.

Marketing for Different Audiences: Understand how to tailor your talk titles and proposals for corporate settings versus wellness conferences, focusing on clear results over cleverness for corporate gigs. The Ecosystem of Speaking Gigs: Antoniette emphasizes that getting paid speaking engagements is a combination of outreach, social presence, and strategic appearances, not a silver bullet.

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!

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.
