Have you ever wanted to be the workhorse of a veterinary hospital? Do all the work for the veterinarians but get none of the credit and a fraction of the pay? Do you want to get scratched and bit by patients routinely? If this sounds amazing to you, then listen to this episode of the path it takes to become a veterinary technician. Jokes aside, they are the lifeblood of any hospital, and a vital piece to the wellbeing of all pets. Our new favorite guest, the Vet Tech Idiot Beth, discusses the way to get there.  Apologies, this episode had some technical difficulties resulting in a second episode in a row with no video and some of Beth's audio was lost, but only in small random spots. The meat and potatoes of the episode is there. Anyway, we're going to blame Kent. Beth is a vet tech. Literature nerd. Music appreciator. Terrible dancer. Her credentials are Beth Laffoon, MS, RVT. She gave "How Stella Got Her Groove Back" a 3.5/5.  "One of the best parts about being a vet tech in academia is getting to serve as a mentor to current, former, and prospective students. Any listeners out there who are thinking about becoming veterinary technicians- feel free to reach out with questions! I'm happy to give insight on the vet tech life or provide info about our residential and online vet tech programs that are accessible from all over the world. (Looking at you, Iceland!)" -B Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/share/1BGguCq8mE/?mibextid=wwXIfr Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/bethlynn5150?igsh=MXM4NTVrZ3BucjhqYQ%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

Cohost Helen has gotten her own groove mostly back after having to skip March, and we are finally here with 1998's How Stella Got Her Groove Back. We haven't covered an adaptation of a work by the iconic and complicated Terry McMillan since we talked Waiting to Exhale in episode six, so if you yourself were waiting until now to exhale, we hope you've been resting peacefully these last eight years. We had a lot of thoughts and feelings about this one, but we still managed to keep this conversation under 90 minutes -- you hear that, everyone involved in bringing How Stella Got Her Groove Back to the screen??

How Stella Got Her Groove Back is an adrenaline fueled romantic comedy for the ages about a jacked up soldier of fortune attempting to get her groove back from a technologically advanced alien creature who might be in love with her or something. Blah, Blah, Blah… Happy April Fool's Day.

It's March y'all, officially Spring, so in honor of that, we're going to spring a surprise on you and switch up our regularly scheduled programing. We're looking forward to discussing the 1998 McMillan classic How Stella Got Her Groove Back, but in the interim, please enjoy a throwback from August 2019 when we were on our beloved podcast network, Flying Machine.

Today I want to talk a little bit about what really matters in marketing a book. And I'm going to do it by telling a story that I've told before, but apparently people haven't gotten the message. So I want to tell it again.It's a story about Terry McMillan, now a bestselling novelist who had several movies done with Waiting to Exhale and How Stella Got Her Groove Back.But her first novel was published by a large New York publisher, but they didn't do much with it. This was in 1987. They sent out press releases. They sent out some review copies. But Terry was a first-time novelist, so media didn't care. Nothing much happened.The publisher did their normal low-level promotion for first-time authors. So Terry decided that she would take her promotion of the book into her own hands.What she did, the thing that really is vitally important for all of you to hear, and I hope you'll actually take it to heart, was simple: She wrote 3,000 letters. Actually, more than 3,000 letters. She wrote them to bookstores, college stores, chain stores, African-American groups, college professors, other groups, all asking them to either stock her book or promote her book.Now, this was before the internet. If she were to do promotion in today's world, she probably would have asked bloggers and podcasters, social networked with others, and creating Youtube videos.What she did, however, was write 3,000 letters to the key audiences for her book. She offered to do readings wherever they would give her space and she'd be happy to give a talk. She would ask different actions of them depending on what audience she was addressing at the timeAgain, she wrote 3,000 letters.The response was so great that she ended up doing a 39-city book tour. Her efforts gained her plenty of rave reviews for her book as well as two reprintings in six weeks. That's a major success for a first-time novelist.Her publisher got behind her once they saw that the book was selling, and it was worth reprinting again and again.The key point to this story is not who Terry sent letters to, but how many letters she sent. It's a numbers game, and what happens with most authors, even though I've told them this story many times, is that they ignore this crucial advice.Write a lot of emails.Write a lot of letters.In today's world, I would have at one point told you to send out emails to people, but my experience in the last six months is that emails don't do the job. People aren't reading their emails anymore. So you should send out real letters via the post office.Obviously, it takes time to write 3,000 letters. It takes a lot of time to write even 100 letters.Now, most of the letters can be the same thing. Or if you're writing a postcard, it's just a short little scribbled note on the postcard to your directed audience asking them for something specific.You should write 3,000 letters. That is the most important thing you can do in marketing a book. Nothing else can replace that personal attention from you to people that could have an influence in the marketplace, who could potentially bring your book to the readers you want to reach.Again, write to bookstores, college professors, African American groups, in Terry's case, other groups that you might want to reach out to depending on what kind of book you've written.Now, she promoted a first-time novel. I want to encourage you, every novelist, especially first-time or second-time novelists, to take this advice to heart.Write letters. Write 3,000 of them.If you write 10 letters a day, it'll take you about a year to write 3,000 letters. If you write 30 letters a day, it will only take 100 days. And, if you take some time off for good behavior, it would take you about four, maybe five months.If you wrote 50 letters a day, obviously, it would go much quicker.Maybe you could get your friends involved with this so that it's not just you writing letters. They could help you write some of the letters or stuff the envelopes and put on the stamps.And again, your letters have to be handwritten. Escept if you did a postcard, it should be handwritten.In today's world, you might be writing to bloggers as well, bloggers who write about books like yours, review books like yours, interview authors like you.Sent letters to podcasters as well—podcasters who might be very happy to interview a new first-time author or second-time author.Writing letters is really a strategy that even applies to people who have published 10 or 20 books.When you're launching your new book, really think about writing a lot of letters. Take it to heart. Do more promotions. Write to the people that you think could make a difference in your book—even if it's only 10 letters a day,It's going to take you a long time to write 3,000 letters. That is a year's worth of time if you write every day 10 letters.Make your letters personalized. Even a handwritten note even on those letters would be worthwhile. You can easily customize 20 or 30 letters a day if you take a half hour to an hour to set aside to promote your book.It's a numbers game. It really does matter.I know this is not an easy ask. I know that it's hard to write that many letters. I know it's hard to find that many addresses. I know it's not an easy thing at all. But it's the most important thing you could do to promote your book.Terry's novel Mama did not become a New York Times bestseller, but Waiting to Excel and When Stella Got Her Groove Bac become bestsellers and movies.But Terry had to start somewhere. She was a first-time novelist. Mama, that was her book. That was the novel that she wrote. That is the one that she chose to promote right from the beginning.  She was a 36-year-old first-time novelist. She was trying to reach out to people who could make a difference with her book. In her case, that was bookstores, colleges, African-American groups, and other groups that she thought could help to promote her book.In today's world, that list would also include podcasters, bloggers, people with websites that address an audience you want to reach out to. It might be people that do YouTube book reviews. You might reach out to social media influencers that might make a difference, reach out to them, write them a letter.I would, if I could, try to get people's addresses and send out a letter, a physical letter that will have much bigger impact in today's world. It's hard to ignore a beautiful postcard or a handwritten letter hand-addressed to that person.That can make a big difference. So try it.Maybe you can't do all 3,000. Maybe it becomes overwhelming. So start with 300.300 you can easily do in a month. Once you've done that, the next month, do another 300. And the next month, do another 300. And pretty soon, you'll have reached 3,000 people.It really is a numbers game.It really does make a difference how many people you reach out to.It's not a simple thing of emailing somebody and going, oh, okay, they didn't respond and that's it. And I did it to 10 people. Or I made phone calls to 10 people and I didn't get through, so I gave up trying to reach out.It doesn't work. You have to reach out. It's hard. Absolutely. It is very hard. But writing your book was also hard. Getting it published was also hard. Formatting it, editing it, getting cover design, working with a publisher, working with a publicist, etc. All of that is hard.Some people have spent five or ten years writing a book, and then they don't want to spend a year promoting that book. Why not? Is your book important to you?If it's important to you, do the work. And I know it is work. It's hard work.Now I'm going to give you one little tip. It's a sort of selfish tip on my part, because if you want to reach 950 independent bookstores, I have a database of those bookstores. And I'll sell it to you for $50, really cheap. But it'll give you your first 950 stores to reach out to with addresses, phone numbers, emails, social media, people's names. You can order it here: https://bookmarketingbestsellers.com/top-900-independent-bookstores.Now I didn't do this video to sell that database. I did this video because I really want you to succeed. I want you to create an impact with your book, whether it's your first book, your second book, or your tenth book.It's a numbers game. You really have to reach out to people and knock on their doors. Terry did it with 3,000 letters. You can do it with 3,000 letters and it's worth doing. It really is worth doing.It could make the difference between you having the opportunity to write a second book or a third book or really get the notice that your book and you deserve.But you have to put the work in. I'm not going to sugarcoat it.I'm telling you now, if you've watched this video, and you've listened to it, please take it to heart.Contact 3,000 people. Write 3,000 letters.It'll make a difference in your world.It'll make a difference for your book.It'll make a difference for you and your authority as an author.It could set you up as an expert. It could make a big difference.Besides writing letters as Terry did to bookstores, colleges, and other groups, write letters to major newspapers, book review sections. You can get their free addresses at https://bookmarketingbestsellers.com/newspaper-book-review-editors. That's free. There's about 50 newspapers there with their addresses and you can just say, attention book review editor.You can do the same with Google searches to discover the key magazine editors you want to reach out to, TV producers you want to reach out to, radio producers you want to reach out to.There are over a thousand live local radio shows every day in the United States). These radio shows are looking for people to interview, interesting people to interview. An author is almost inevitably an interesting person to interview.So you have bookstores, you possibly have colleges, you have groups you want to target, blogs, podcasts, radio shows, TV shows, magazines, newspapers.The world is open to you, but you have to knock on the door to get it answered.Write those 3,000 letters.

In this episode, I spoke with Misti Memphis, a retired American teacher and guidance counsellor who runs two Facebook groups aimed at building and uplifting the Negril community. Our conversation spanned a variety of topics, including her civil rights activism in Memphis, how the movie How Stella Got Her Groove Back piqued her interest in visiting Jamaica, the active life of a retiree in Negril and how the pandemic has impacted it, and the philanthropic work of the Facebook groups. This podcast was recorded on the restaurant deck of Travellers Beach Resort on Negril's 7-mile white sand beach. So if you hear sounds like waves, people talking, or music, it's because we were in an active environment.

It's been almost three decades since Angela Bassett emerged in Hollywood as a “totem of empowered Black womanhood,” as Michael Schulman puts it—known for groundbreaking roles in films like “What's Love Got to Do with It” and “How Stella Got Her Groove Back.” Now, at sixty-four, Bassett is nominated for an Oscar for her performance in “Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.” As the fierce, grieving Queen Ramonda, she is the first actor nominated for any Marvel movie. Bassett speaks with Schulman about her preparation for the film, and reflects on how a poetry recitation drove her to acting as a young person. “It was the first recognition for me, at fifteen, that drama, that theatre, that words, that passion from one human being could move another,” she says. “And that maybe I had a gift for it.”

Taye Diggs is an actor who has appeared on Broadway, in several TV shows, and in many movies. He's best known for his roles in Rent, the TV series Private Practice, and the movies How Stella Got Her Groove Back, Brown Sugar, and Malibu's Most Wanted. Currently, he stars in All American and he's going to host a new reality dating show called Back in the Groove. Taye struggled with insomnia for 13 years. He tried to ignore it and told himself that what he was experiencing was normal. But a certain incident made him realize he needed to get help. Some of the things he talks about today are how to find the courage to get help for whatever problem you might have, how to overcome the stigma associated with taking medication, and how to overcome the discomfort of asking for help.

Remember the Movie, How Stella Got Her Groove Back? She found her confidence and I suspect, she had a physical therapist with a pelvic floor specialty to ensure she could talk with her partner and enjoy sex again. Magyn, Darmstaedter is passionate to educate people about their bodies so that they can have a pleasurable and positive sexual experience, whether with a partner or during self-play. Magyn has completed her series on pelvic floor health. Go back to listen to Episodes 48 - 51 in case you missed them. You may be introduced to "A Whole New World" like Jasmine from Aladdin. Thank you to Hope Physical Therapy and Wellness in Colorado Springs for providing so many gifted pelvic floor specialists!

We are talking about the results of the fan-voted top 104 Black movies. We asked people to vote round by round and reseeded each round so the high seed will always play the low seed. The 104 lists came from a Rotten Tomatoes list, with other movies sprinkled in that we thought should be in.
