Send us a textGavyn Rhone has worked with various artists, including Keyshia Cole on "Party Ain't A Party" (2014), Jordin Sparks on "No Restrictions Live" (2024), and contributed to the soundtrack for "The Proud Family" (2001).This holiday season Gavyn is spreading joy through his holiday single "Little Drummer Boy", a song that is close to his heart and has a powerful story behind the music, which he would love to share with you.About Gavyn Rhone:If you were to imagine an artist who epitomizes a unique fusion of elegance, refinement, smooth yet spirited vocal delivery, and a compelling stage presence that seamlessly blends gentlemanly sophistication with heartthrob charm, Gavyn Rhone would be the perfect exemplar.While Kansas City raised this undeniable talent through church and choirs, it was the impeccable ear of mega producer Babyface who took one listen to Gavyn's demo and immediately invited him to Los Angeles, California. He was to be the lead singer of a young R&B group that would go on to tour the world, be signed by J records, Def Jam records, enjoy thousands of fans worldwide and secure a #1 video on BET's top 10 countdown for 7 consecutive weeks for the song ‘Get With Me'.Following his very successful stint, Gavyn has thrived in the American music industry, having a reputation amongst industry insiders, producers and artists as the ‘go to' for many of their creative and artistic needs. He produced vocals for 8 songs on the 7X Grammy nominated, "11:11" album by celebrated R&B singer Keyshia Cole. He also featured on her hit single "Party Ain't A Party" which premiered on B.E.T. and took the #1 spot on the Billboard Hip-Hop & R&B chart. His charismatic vocals mixed with her impassioned tone continues to impact fans all over the world. Another accolade included Gavyn being hand-picked to be the new leader of the renowned Gap Band, previously led by the legendary Charlie Wilson. He continues to tour with the band satiating thousands of adoring fans.To date he has toured/shared the stage with: Drake, Justin Bieber, Paul Stanley of KISS, Pitbull, Nick Jonas, Stevie Wonder, Lady Gaga, Trey Songz, Justin Timberlake, Usher, Babyface, Jennifer Hudson and of course, Keyshia Cole on the epic Jimmy Kimmel show.Rhone's musical talents have led him to roles in both television & motion picture. Some of his credits include the theater hit, ‘Dirty Grandpa' with Robert De Niro, showtime series ‘Soul Food', a role on the Disney Channel cartoon, ‘The Proud Family' and box office hit, ‘Honey', starring Jessica Alba.Gavyn Rhone, someone who never initially sought the spotlight and never forgets his humble upbringing, loves giving back to his friends and supporters. Wanting to provide an increasingly needed service for artists, he founded an artist development company called ‘Amastar Entertainment Group'. Understanding that labels were no longer providing this, and more artists with so much potential were feeling lost and alone, Rhone and his team of writers, producers, choreographers and vocal coaches develop artists at any level. They also provide them a platform to display their honed talents for label executive and industry power players while continuously building their fan base.Gavyn has worked with some of the top producers in the industry from the likes of Diane Warren, Babyface, Paul Stanley, Poo Bear, Rodney Jerkins, Musiq Soulchild, LL Cool J, David Foster, Tank, Vincent Herbert, Tyrese, 50 Cent, J Moss, NeYo, Fabulous, Sean Garrett & Big Boi of Outkast to name a few.

OVERCOMING YOUR CHALLENGE What is your biggest challenge? I asked that recently to podcasters on my email list. On this episode, I'll help you through a few of them. DO THE WORK Whatever your challenge, do the little work daily to build your foundation. Country artist Chris Young is a great example. The first time Chris Young came to town was around 2009. He played in the radio station conference room to about 20 people. This was shortly after he was the winner of the 4th season of the TV show "Nashville Star" in 2006. The next time here in town, he played to a small club with a few other artists for a few hundred people. Over the next few years, Chris returned to town as the opening act for a variety of other artists. Each time he played to a few more people than the last. Finally in 2019, Chris came to town to headline his own show for about 5,000 people. He has done that a few other times since then. Here is a guy that got great exposure on a television singing competition with a big audience. He has put in the consistent and methodical work over time to get where he is today. Other artists on the singing shows don't make it, because they haven't put in the work to create the relationship over time. Just look at the winners of American Idol, like Ruben Studdard, Fantasia Barrino, Taylor Hicks and Jordin Sparks. They didn't put in the work. Carrie Underwood and Kelly Clarkson have been working for years to get where they are today even after their American Idol start. You can't create a relationship in 20 weeks of a tv season. It takes years. Do the work. Get rich slowly. Whatever your challenge, give it time. Let's look at a few of these questions. THE DOWNLOADS CHALLENGE I'm trying all the things to increase downloads. I send out a weekly email and post on social media. I also mention my podcast when it's applicable on music teacher Facebook groups. I've been a guest on a few podcasts. I guess my biggest challenge is not knowing what else I can do to grow downloads. They are increasing but very slowly. Maybe that's normal? Thanks, - Jeanette Yes, Jeanette, that is normal. I know we don't like to hear that it takes time. But, it takes time. Rarely will you see your downloads grow at a huge rate unless you get in front of a large pool of your ideal clients. Greg Payne is one of my clients. He hosts the Cool Grandpa podcast. As he was growing his podcast, he was able to get mentioned in an article in the New York Times. Who reads the New York Times? Typically a lot of people who are grandparents. Greg doubled his downloads overnight. Getting into the New York Times isn't something we can do everyday. However, you can find other influencers who speak to your ideal clients. Those influencers make great partners. To find the influencers who have the attention of your ideal target listener, begin by defining your listener. You can do that quickly and easily by downloading my Ideal Target Listener Worksheet here: www.podcasttalentcoach.com/listener. Keep working both sides of the growth equation. First, keep your current listeners coming back. Your email and social media tactics will help remind your fans to listen. Then, find those new ideal clients and invite them into your world. Get them on your email list, so you can email them as well. The podcast interviews you are doing should help. Let's find other areas to ramp it up. Above all else, create great content, share yourself, and be consistent. THE GUEST CHALLENGE My biggest challenge is getting the guests to share the episode. - Kate This is another common challenge, Kate. We can't expect our guest to share, but it is always great when they do. There are two things you can do. First, select better guests. Next, make it incredibly easy for them. Let's talk about better guests. Dave Jackson at the School of Podcasting is a great guest. When he is interviewed on a podcast, he will play a clip of that interview on his own show. Dave will give a shout out to the host of the show. He will also tell people where to find it. He is a great guest. If you want guests to share your episode, find guests that share episodes. If you see someone mentioning they were interviewed on a podcast, get those people as guests. They know how to share. When you book your guests, let them know up front before the interview that you would appreciate if they would share the assets you send them. Make the expectations clear from the start. MAKE IT EASY Next, make it easy for your guest to share. I was on a call with a client this week. She was telling me her guests weren't sharing the episodes as much as she would like. She told me that when the episode is published, her team sends the guest a link to a folder containing all the graphics and assets along with a link to the show. They then ask the guest to share. The guest has to do too much work in this scenario. As a guest, I need to sift through the graphics, write an email, craft a social post, determine which asset to post, and link to the episode. To make it easier for the guest, write the email for them. Craft the social post for them. Make is as easy as possible with as few steps as possible. Tag your guest in your social posts and ask them to repost it. You are much more likely to get your guest to share if you make it super easy. But at the end of the day, not every guest will share. These steps should help you get a few more to spread the word. THE COURAGE CHALLENGE My biggest barrier is lack of courage to put myself out there. - Leah Impostor Syndrome is real, Leah. We all struggle with it a bit. Regardless of what we are doing, we want people to like us. It's natural. When we understand that there will always be someone who doesn't like what we do, it makes it much easier to do it anyway. We were discussing this the other day with my coach. He was talking about the importance of celebrating our wins. When we review and celebrate our wins, it puts our minds in the right space to do what needs to be done. Franklin D. Roosevelt said, "Courage is not the absence of fear, but the assessment that something else is more important than fear." Nelson Mandela said, "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it." Having the courage to do anything is recognizing the fear is there and then taking action anyway. I find it most helpful to have a written list of successes and feedback from others. Many people have sent me great reviews and testimonials. But like many people, one negative comment can derail everything. That list of positive feedback can help me get and stay in the right frame of mind regardless of what others say. People want what you have, Leah. Take action in spite of the fear. BUILDING A COMMUNITY Learning to build an interactive community around the podcast is my biggest challenge. - Dot Community comes from relationships. Are you sharing yourself on the podcast to build those friendships? Make real connections. When you share yourself, you will find other will tend to share themselves with you. Over time, you community will grow. Next, give listeners a reason to engage along with a benefit of engagement. What's in it for them? Finally, make it easy for them to engage. Tell them exactly what you want your listener to do. On a recent coaching call, my client told me their podcast was not generating any feedback or response. I listened to the podcast to review it. When I got to the end, the host said, "You can email me at the email address, and follow me on social media." Why would I email you? Remember the last time you ran into an old friend? You caught up and had a good chat. When it ended, one of you said, "I'll give you a call sometime." Has "sometime" ever come? I doubt it. You have no reason to call, so the call never happens. We all tell ourselves we need to do a better job staying in touch with our friends. Then we realize a year has passed since we last talked. If you want your listeners to engage, give them a real reason to engage. I have a free resource that will help you. It is called "75 Ways To Drive Engagement With Your Podcast". You can download it for free at http://www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/engage. THE STRATEGY CHALLENGE I'd love to have a strategy in place before I launch, then I know what I'm aiming for! - Ruth Don't let perfection prevent you from starting. If you wait for all the lights to turn green before you step on the gas, you'll never move. On the other hand, having a strategy is wise decision. Start with the end in mind. What do you hope to accomplish with your podcast? Be specific. Let's say you want to grow your coaching business with the podcast. How do people become clients? That might be your discovery call. How do people get to the discovery call? That could be through your lead magnet. Maybe you're a life coach and your free resource is "6 Steps to a Successful Life". When people download your lead magnet, they discover the six steps. You then invite them on a call to see how to implement the six steps. Next, we need to determine how people get your lead magnet. We promote the lead magnet on the podcast. But, we must also create content that drives demand for the lead magnet. Create great content that shows your listeners what is possible when they take the six steps. You might interview people who have done it. You could take a deep dive into one of the steps. The content should demonstrate why people need to take the six steps. Get listeners to envision the transformation. Finally, you need to block out time on your calendar each week to record the show. Treat that block of time with respect. Be consistent. Now you have a strategy. So, let's get started. You can refine the strategy as you go along. But you can't refine anything until you start. THE PODCAST NAME How do you choose a podcast name? How can you verify that that name is not already in use? Is it necessary to trademark your podcast name? Sincerely, - Gordon This is a really gray area, Gordon. Let's take each part separately. The purpose of the podcast name is to get people to think the show looks interesting and might be for them. The Gordon Show doesn't tell me anything about the content or make me think the show might be for me. It would take a lot of marketing and explanation to get that across. You also don't want to be too cool for the room with a show nobody understands. Shows like More Perfect and The Drive really tell us nothing. More Perfect is an NPR podcast about stories from the Supreme Court of the United States. Could you have guessed that? The Drive is about maximizing longevity, including physical, cognitive and emotional health. I was thinking football. On the other hand, it is pretty clear what Your Money Briefing and Secrets of Wealthy Women are all about. The name of your show should make people think the show is for them. ALREADY IN USE Is your name already in use? Google is the easiest way to determine that. There are many podcasts that use the same name. I searched for the Money Magic podcast. Here is the list I found. The Money Magic Podcast with Vangile Makwakwa Money Magic with Patrick von Finanzzauber The Money Magic Podcast with Brady Wade The Magic, Money and Marketing Podcast with Jennifer Donovan Practical Money Magic with Audrey Heesch Magic Internet Money with Brad Mills Mindset, Money, & Magic with Nadeen Martinez Money & Magic with the Witchy Bookkeeper Love Money Magic with Christy Teloh Those are just 9 that are close. There are a ton of other varieties. When choosing a name, be unique to help you get discovered in search. See if your show name is available for purchase as a website URL. That's a good place to start. TRADEMARK WITH FIREMARK Finally, is it necessary to trademark your podcast name? No, it's not necessary. Yes, it is beneficial. A trademark can help you protect your intellectual property. It can also save you from someone else suing you for using their intellectual property if they were to obtain the trademark. There are plenty of benefits to getting the trademark. But it isn't required. Keep in mind that having a trademark and defending a trademark are two different things. Once you have the trademark, you must prevent others from using it. That may sometimes include legal fees. If you don't defend the trademark consistently, it can be difficult to defend if the time comes. That's why many big businesses go after little guys infringing on a trademark. You need to defend it against every use or put an agreement in place that allows for the use by others. I am no legal expert. Consult an attorney before making any decisions. If you want solid podcast legal advice, see my buddy Gordon Firemark. He is the Podcast Lawyer™. You can find Gordon at http://www.gordonfiremark.com. Tell him I sent you over.

Drawing inspiration from artists like Lennon Stella, Gracie Abrams, Kacey Musgraves and Taylor Swift, Lexi brings a refreshing and contemporary edge to the pop music scene. Her music seamlessly blends infectious hooks, pulsating beats, and thought-provoking lyrics, that lingers in the minds of her fans long after the music ends. Her distinctive voice possesses a rare combination of vulnerability and versatility with lyrics that often delve into introspective themes of personal growth, love, and the complexities of the human experience. Lexi's ability to connect with her listeners on a deeply emotional level is solidifying her reputation as an emerging pop artist who fearlessly wears her heart on her sleeve. Anand has always had a passion for singing and songwriting. When she was just six years old, she wrote her first song entitled, “When I Wake Up.” “When I Wake Up was a song about waking up in different locations, like on the sun or on the moon,” says Lexi. She is a student at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee where she recently finished her first year of college and spent the first few weeks of summer traveling the world exploring Denmark, Italy, Geneva and Amsterdam. In 2019, Lexi was selected to attend Grammy Camp by The Recording Academy. There she studied under notable writers such as Echosmith, Andy Grammer and Jordin Sparks. As Lexi Anand continues to carve her path in the pop music realm with a desire to pursue sync for TV & Film, her star power shines brighter with each endeavor. With an unmatched work ethic and a genuine connection with her fans, Lexi is poised to become a force to be reckoned with in the industry. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tophillrecording/support

What's Your Fighting Style?   Conflict is a normal and healthy aspect of any relationship. So we don't have to be afraid of it anymore. We don't have to run away from conflict. We don't have to pretend that it's not there. We don't have to try to dress it up as something else. It is what it is. However, conflict is not fighting.  When we “fight,” we all have a fighting style that's our go-to approach to handling conflict. When I'm saying fighting for the sake of this episode, I'm not talking about “throwing blows.” I'm talking about how you deal with conflict. When something arises in your relationship and you disagree with your partner, you're having conflict, that conflict then turns into more of just a disagreement, but you're almost at a stalemate. How do you handle that? What is your fighting style? Three Fighting Styles The three specific styles are as follows: attack-attack, attack-defend, and silent-silent. In the attack-attack style, both partners are on the attack and cannot hear each other, making it impossible to solve problems and leading to a destructive cycle. In the attack-defend style, one partner is attacking and the other is defending themselves, creating a tit-for-tat dynamic that is not productive in resolving the underlying issues. In the silent-silent style, both partners avoid confrontation altogether and allow issues to fester and grow.   Why Does Love Feel Like a Battlefield? You are never going to find the solution to whatever the situation is because if you're spending so much time attacking one another. It's almost like you are in a battlefield. You've now become an enemy, a combatant of your partner. Years ago, singer Jordin Sparks actually wrote a song called Battlefield. Here are some of the lyrics of this song . . . See if you can relate.  Why does love always feel like a battlefield, a battlefield, a battlefield?  You know that song so this is how it goes. Okay.  Don't try to explain your mind I know what's happening here One minute it's love and suddenly it's like, love is a battlefield. One word turns into a war.  Why is it that the smallest things tear us down?  My world's nothing when you're gone.  I'm out here without a shield.  Can't go back now.    I never meant to start a war.  You know I never want to hurt you.  Don't even know what we're fighting for.  Why does love always feel like a battlefield? Listen to Battlefield here  Why does love always feel like a battlefield in your relationship? You feel like there is nothing that you do, nothing that you say is going to make a difference because your spouse is looking at you as the enemy. Or, you see your partner as the enemy.   Break Free From Fighting  To break out of these fighting styles, one person in the relationship must wave the white flag and prioritize the relationship over being right. Remember, your partner is not the problem; the problem is the problem. You are on the same team! By taking a step back and examining the real issue, couples can work together to find a solution. In order to move forward from fighting, couples must reframe the way they approach conflict. Instead of seeing it as a competition or an opportunity to prove who is right, couples should view it as a chance to grow and strengthen their relationship. If necessary, couples should take a “time-out” during particularly heated moments to allow both parties to cool down and come back to the conversation from a calmer and more rational place.   Links Mentioned in this Episode:  Episode 87: The Silent Treatment vs Arguing   Register for the upcoming Thrive Wives workshop   SUBSCRIBE | SHARE | RATE | COMMENT To ensure you never miss an episode, be sure to subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Google Play, Spotify, Stitcher, iHeart Radio, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Welcome to another episode of Outrage + Optimism, where we examine issues at the forefront of the climate crisis, interview change-makers, and transform our anger into productive dialogue about building a sustainable future. In this episode, co-hosts Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac, and Paul Dickinson discuss the monstrous profits made by Big Oil last year, how at least one fossil fuel firm plans to invest its gains, and what it all means for the climate agenda going forward. They also speak to Avinash Persaud (Avi), Special Envoy to the Prime Minister of Barbados on Investment and Financial Services and creator of the 2022 Bridgetown Initiative, and we have music from gifted musician Scotty Grand. The team opens with the astounding report that BP, Chevron, Equinor, ExxonMobil, Shell, and TotalEnergies together made more than $200 billion in profits in 2022. What's even more shocking? BP followed with an announcement that in the interests of “energy security,” it's scaling back its 2030 emissions reductions targets from 40% to 25%. Let's just say the trio doesn't mince words in response. Outrage indeed! Next, Avi Persaud outlines his work on the 2022 Bridgetown Initiative with Prime Minister of Barbados, Mia Mottley. While climate change impacts us all, it does so unevenly. Those who suffer disproportionately have the narrowest access to capital support. Can our current economic system address this problem? Persaud leads a fascinating discussion on the power of global financeーwhen deployed creativelyーto drive extraordinary changemaking. Find out how callable capital, international reserve currency, and other key levers could meet the significant systemic challenges in front of us today. Finally, we have music from the one and only Scotty Grand. He's served as Creative Director, Keyboardist, and MC for Grammy-nominated artists Jordin Sparks, the Jonas Brothers, and fellow pianist Alicia Keys, among many other A-listers. He's also the great-nephew of legendary gospel singer Mahalia Jacksonーand Christiana's neighbor!

Emma and Julie begin with EmRata & Pete's Sunday night Knicks game outing (seated in between Ben Stiller & Jordin Sparks). This inspires a discussion on how public interest in certain pop culture topics is often fleeting, citing JLo & Ben's relationship, and her recent Zane Lowe interview. They then get into the disturbing Balenciaga campaigns (trigger warning: sexualization of children.)They then discuss the twitter rumor of Shawn Mendes dating his chiropractor, which turns into a conversation on the inner circles of celebrities - mainly Kylie and the way her relationships are perceived. The Kardashian recap includes Thanksgiving and wishing White Lotus could be filmed at Kris Jenner's Palm Springs home.
