In this episode, I'm joined by the brilliant and boundary-breaking Juel D. Lane—choreographer, dancer, director, and creative visionary. We had the pleasure of meeting through the incredible dance company I'm on the board of, BODYTRAFFIC.From performing in Jesus Christ Superstar Live and Amazon's Harlem, to creating original works for BODYTRAFFIC, Ailey II, Dallas Black Dance Theatre, Atlanta Ballet, and beyond, Juel has carved out a space in the dance world that's entirely his own.But behind the accolades is a story of deep self-discovery, doubt, and fearless creativity. In this candid conversation, Juel opens up about his journey from a young boy obsessed with movement to becoming a nationally celebrated artist and choreographic leader. He talks about the internal battles with imposter syndrome, the power of social media as a modern-day stage, and how finding the right community has helped him thrive, grow, and continually Reinvent himself.Now serving as the Director of the Choreographic Institute at UNC School of the Arts, Juel reflects on the lessons he's learned—about risk-taking, vulnerability, identity, and the discipline of creativity. Whether you're an artist, a dreamer, or someone navigating your own next chapter, Juel's story will inspire you to own your narrative, trust your talent, and keep dancing forward—even when you're unsure of the next step.Key Takeaways:Reinvention means showing up even when you don't feel “ready”—especially when you don't.Owning your creativity requires both discipline and vulnerability.Confidence isn't given—it's built by standing in your story and doing the work.Connection, community, and mentorship are everything in the creative process.Juel's Website: https://jueldlane.com/Juel's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jueldlane/?hl=en THE RE:INVENTION EXCHANGE - for more Inspired Content, Blogs, Podcasts, RE:INVENTION Virtual Chats, or to buy a copy of my book RE:INVENT YOUR LIFE!

In this week's very special (re)wind episode, THE IDEALISTS. podcast host and entrepreneur, Melissa Kiguwa, revisits her conversation with Ty Stiklorius, CEO of Friends at Work,  a 21st-century management and social impact firm, which handles some of the world's most respected and beloved artists, including John Legend, Lindsey Stirling, Charlie Puth, and the list goes on. Ty also served as Executive Producer on the Oscar-winning film La La Land and won an Emmy for Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert on NBC. Billboard named Ty one of the most powerful women in music, and after this conversation, you'll understand why.Ty's Business: https://friendsatwork.com/about/Episode Highlights:- Ty leads off with a story about a manager who wanted to buy her company but opted not to because she values maximizing not just shareholder value, but workers and the planet. It was a moment that crystallized things for her—that because of her roots in Quakerism, because of her perspective, having an MBA from Wharton, and working in consulting—she could do something different.- Next, she discusses the ethos behind her company Friends at Work, and how they function as the CEO for their clients, handling everything from digital strategy to tour planning, to brand strategy, to advertising, to social impact strategy.- Building on that, she discusses what it means to trust your gut, and sense of knowing in the face of veteran managers who might play upon your fears or insecurities when making critical decisions.- Lastly, as part of her inadvertent audacious vision for the world, Ty reads from a first draft of her Real-Life Manifesto, a collaborative document meant to embrace ideals of care, difference, and equity, so everyone comes away with their needs met—in a more hopeful win-win-win scenario. Join THE IDEALISTS.' conversation:At our website: https://www.theidealistspodcast.co/On Instagram: @theidealistspodcast_On Twitter: @theidealistspodHelp us to grow!

What's the buzz with Episode #81? The buzz is all about Art Director and Scenic Designer Melissa Shakun! Melissa was the Art Dir. for NBC's 'Jesus Christ Superstar Live' and she's giving us all the behind the scenes stories of turning Jason Ardizzone-West's stunning design into a reality. Hear about all the sand that never made it to broadcast, how the set was built and installed in record time and why the final crucifixion was so difficult to accomplish. Melissa talks about the difference between Prod. Design and Art Direction and how designing for episodic TV differs from theatre with examples from her time on 'The Americans', 'The Jim Gaffigan Show', 'Mysteries of Laura' and 'Blindspot.' She's got great stories about blowing out windows with fire boxes, shooting scenes under the Astoria Pool, how to make Brooklyn look like 1980's Washington DC and how she helped transport Seaworld visitors to Antartica as part of the Art Direction team for the Empire of the Penguin ride!

Sarah and Amelia don their sequined mesh and purple leather to discuss Jesus Christ Superstar Live in Concert, including: Sarah's powerful respect thirst for a certain actor, Amelia's basic ignorance of the calendar, and the powerful gay vibes. We also discuss the historical Mary (fun with demons!) and the historical Pilate (far less fun with antisemitism). Sarah doesn't mention this on the podcast but she ended up having to donate $8.25 in quarters to a church by pouring them directly into the offering tin, so at least one half of this podcast paid for their sins.
