Ever opened an email that's a wall of text + had to scroll all the way to the bottom just to find out what it's actually about? Communication expert Chris Fenning quite literally wrote the book on why this happens and - more importantly - how to fix it. We discuss two simple frameworks for clearer communication, why waffle reads as disrespect rather than charm + the uncomfortable truth that people rate your competence based on how quickly you get to the point.

Tune in to our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure, and Aged Expired niches! In this episode, Alyssa and Jessica from the marketing team explain why direct mail remains a cornerstone of real estate marketing, even in a crowded digital landscape. They highlight how the moment someone physically touches a mail piece creates stronger memory recall than scrolling past emails or banners. The discussion covers when to mail, what to send, and how to design campaigns that stay visible over time. Guidance is tailored to probate, divorce, pre-probate, late mortgage, and other niche leads, emphasizing credible branding, simple typography, and consistent color palettes. You'll get practical tips on envelope design, letters, postcards, brochures, and useful add-ons like checklists and resource guides. They stress testing and segmentation, treating non-responders, warm leads, and new prospects differently while keeping messaging cohesive. The episode also covers combining mail with digital channels for higher results, with benchmarks showing 9% house-list and 5% prospect-list responses, improving further with email, retargeting, SEO, and social. Real-world examples illustrate how recurring touches build trust, and how automation keeps campaigns running while you scale. Finally, Jessica invites listeners to book time for personalized branding guidance, emphasizing that long-term, multi-channel campaigns move probate and other niche deals forward effectively. Key Takeaways: Direct mail is strongest when paired with digital marketing. Combining mail with websites, landing pages, and online follow-up creates multiple touchpoints that drive engagement. Physical mail captures attention in ways digital cannot. When someone handles a mail piece, it boosts attention and memory recall, helping your message stand out. Consistent branding builds trust. Using the same visuals, messaging, and tone across letters, postcards, and online channels reinforces credibility over time. Segmenting leads and testing improves ROI. Targeting specific audiences and experimenting with styles, messaging, and timing identifies the best response rates. Long sales cycles reward persistence. In niches like probate and divorce, consistent outreach keeps you top-of-mind until prospects act. Automation keeps campaigns consistent. Autopilot systems and scheduled mailings run marketing smoothly with less manual effort. QR codes and landing pages accelerate conversions. Quick access bridges offline and online engagement, making it easier for prospects to act.

Have you ever looked around a room full of successful entrepreneurs and thought, “I don't belong here”?That moment hit hard the first time I considered joining a mastermind — and saw the $25,000 price tag.In this episode, I'm sharing the raw truth of investing in my very first mastermind: the doubts, the imposter syndrome, and the terrifying leap that turned into a $255,000 launch just six months later.At the time, I had never invested in peer coaching or business education. I had built my company solo — no courses, no mentors, no community. But I knew something had to change.What happened next challenged everything: my beliefs about money, my mindset around growth, and what's actually possible when you're the least experienced person in the room.If you've ever questioned whether masterminds are worth it, felt intimidated in high-level rooms, or wondered if you're ready to invest in yourself… this episode is your permission slip.You're not underqualified. You're just getting started.Click play to hear all of this and:[00:40] The definition of a mastermind — and how it reframes business growth[02:02] Feeling under-qualified to join a high-level room of entrepreneurs[03:32] The initial shock of a $25,000 price tag — and the debate that followed[04:41] A simple mindset shift: What if the investment could be earned back?[05:56] How proximity to brilliant minds led to a $255K launch in six months[07:30] How cultural and financial background influences risk-taking in business[08:25] The unexpected benefits of being the least experienced in the room
Most creatives think the answer is just working harder. More hours, more shoots, more hustle. But if your business looks the same as it did a year ago, the problem isn't your effort — it's what you're doing with it.In this episode, we're breaking down the real reason creative businesses stay stuck, and it has nothing to do with talent. We cover three shifts that actually move the needle — why you can't get consistent results from inconsistent marketing, why the old playbook stops working as the industry evolves, and why surrounding yourself with the right people is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make as a creative business owner.If your Feb 2026 looks a lot like your Feb 2025, this one's for you.——Want to build a 6-figure business foundation with us in just 6 weeks?Applications for Round 15 of the 6-Week Creativ Rise Mastermind are open… and they close this Wednesday.Round 15 starts March 15th.If your creative business still feels like you're guessing your way through pricing, offers, marketing, and sales, this is exactly what the Mastermind was built to solve.Inside the 6-Week Creativ Rise Mastermind, we work with photographers, filmmakers, social media managers, and creators to install the real systems behind a six-figure creative business. The frameworks that lead to consistent $10K+ months. From structuring offers and pricing properly, to building marketing that brings the right clients in, to learning how to confidently close higher value deals.This program has now helped 416 creative businesses, and collectively they've generated over $136M in revenue after implementing these strategies.But what makes each round powerful isn't just the frameworks. It's the people.Round 15 is already filling with an incredible group of creatives. Brand content teams stepping in to build stronger systems. Wedding photographers repositioning into higher-end markets. Creatives already doing $80K–$100K who want better leverage and scalability. And others who know their talent is there, but their business structure hasn't caught up yet.We intentionally cap each round at 35 businesses so the experience stays personal, strategic, and focused on real implementation.Once those spots are filled, applications close.If you're ready to stop operating your business on guesswork and finally build something scalable, make sure you apply before the deadline this Wednesday.→ Apply here: www.creativrise.com——Free Tools & Trainings:→ Pricing Calculator: https://www.creativrise.com/pricingcalculator→ Pitching Masterclass Course: https://www.creativrise.com/pitchingmasterclass→ Sales Call Formula Course: https://www.creativrise.com/offers/RM2ZPtZx/checkout→ Productivity Course: https://www.creativrise.com/productivity→ Money Management Training: https://www.creativrise.com/moneytraining→ Fix Your Inquiry Form: https://www.creativrise.com/inquiryform——Listen & Subscribe:→ Apple Podcasts: apple.co/creativrise→ Spotify: open.spotify.com/show/creativrise——Follow Along:→ Instagram: @creativrise | @joeyspeers | @christyjspeers

In this episode of The Modern Hairstylist Podcast, Hunter Donia revisits one of the most debated topics in the industry over the past few years: pre-booking. For decades, stylists were taught that pre-booking was the key to predictable income and a full schedule. But after the pandemic, many hairstylists began questioning whether it actually created real stability or just the illusion of it.Hunter originally challenged the traditional approach to pre-booking, arguing that it could create false security, more reschedules, and unnecessary pressure on both the stylist and the client. But recently, new patterns inside the Modern Hairstylist community and Mastermind have sparked a new question: is pre-booking worth reconsidering in today's industry?In this episode, Hunter breaks down why the conversation around pre-booking deserves a more nuanced look in 2026. Rather than treating it as a universal rule or rejecting it entirely, he explains how stylists can test whether it actually supports their specific business model, clientele, and demand patterns.Key Takeaways:
I'm diving into the real reasons so many masterminds never make it past their first year - and how you can avoid those pitfalls. I share exactly why designing for scale doesn't mean you have to offer less, care less, or lose those incredible client outcomes. What it does mean is being smart about containers, rhythms, and the way clients access support - so you don't burn out, you don't feel resentful, and you don't have to break what you've built when it's time to grow.What You'll Learn:00:00 The Reason So Many Masterminds Don't Survive Year One01:28 What Are You Scaling Towards?03:40 Building For Scale04:55 Starting Your First Mastermind?

But not when it's with the intelligent mind of Chris Pickering. Together we talk about the emotional spiral so many people enter after diagnosis, the stories we attach to herpes that often hurt more than the virus itself, and why healing is about so much more than managing outbreaks.

In this episode you will learn tools to turn your pain into your power and work with logic to realise how easy breakthrough can be, once you decide its the only way forward. If you have just walked out of the doctors office and need two humans to shine a torch for you, this episode is it. In this episode, we cover:What to do in the first days after a herpes diagnosisWhy dating is still absolutely possible with herpesHow to disclose without shame, overexplaining or trauma dumpingThe biggest mindset shifts for rebuilding confidenceWhy rejection is survivable — and not the end of your love lifeHow herpes can actually become a catalyst for healing, growth and self-respectThe truth about shame, identity, outbreaks and living a normal sex lifeTimestamps:00:00 Why a herpes diagnosis can feel life-altering02:54 What people most need to hear on day one06:26 How to cope when you've just found out15:09 Why shame does not disappear on its own19:18 How to rebuild your confidence after diagnosis34:19 How to disclose without sounding ashamed44:35 How to handle rejection and keep dating01:08:04 How to enjoy sex again without anxietyConnect with Me:Want to work with me?

On this episode of Critics at Large, with the ninety-eighth Academy Awards just around the corner, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz are joined by their fellow staff writer Michael Schulman to take stock of Oscars season. They discuss the biggest races and consider whether the year's Best Picture nominees—many of them both critical and commercial successes—might represent a return to the bygone era of “grownup movies.” At the center of all this pageantry is the host: a notoriously tricky role for even the most seasoned performers. Together, the critics revisit the highs and lows of Oscars hosting history, from the long tenure of Bob Hope to the golden age of Billy Crystal. These m.c.s' success hinges on their ability to walk a fine line, embodying the celebratory spirit of the evening while also poking fun at its absurdity. “It's about that insider-outsider aspect. You are the court jester,” Schwartz says. “Are you really wanting to be vizier to the king, or are you O.K. in that jester role?”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Oscar Wars,” by Michael Schulman“Marty Supreme” (2025)“Sinners (2025)“The Secret Agent” (2025)“One Battle After Another” (2025)“‘Come to Brazil?'

Tune in to our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure, and Aged Expired niches! In today's episode of the Mastermind podcast, the discussion focused on helping agents uncover additional opportunities from leads they already have by introducing the Property Plus Refresh program and highlighting the value of revisiting older data. The panel explained that many agents stop actively working leads after several months, even though circumstances often change over time. By refreshing existing records to identify property ownership, equity, and multi-property holdings, agents can uncover opportunities that may not have been visible when the leads were first received. A major portion of the conversation centered on how better data allows agents to narrow their outreach toward higher-probability prospects instead of marketing broadly to every contact in their database. By identifying which leads currently hold real estate or have significant equity, agents can prioritize their most valuable marketing efforts while maintaining lower-cost follow-up with others. This targeted approach helps conserve both time and marketing budgets while improving the likelihood of meaningful conversations. The panel also emphasized the importance of consistent long-term follow-up, noting that many homeowners require multiple touch points before making a decision. In some cases, opportunities arise months after the initial event as personal circumstances evolve. The episode concluded with a reminder that many of the most valuable deals are already sitting inside an agent's database, and refreshing older leads can reveal opportunities that might otherwise go unnoticed. Key Takeaways - The Property Plus Refresh program helps uncover property ownership tied to older leads already sitting in your CRM. - Refreshing older lead lists can reveal high-equity or multi-property opportunities that were previously unknown or overlooked. - Segmenting leads by property ownership allows agents to prioritize outreach toward the prospects most likely to sell. - Targeting only the strongest opportunities can reduce wasted marketing spend and improve overall return on investment. - Many successful deals come from older leads agents stopped contacting months after the initial outreach. - Consistent follow-up matters because most homeowners require multiple meaningful touch points before choosing an agent. - In many cases, your next listing opportunity may already exist within your current database.

Buying a business isn't just about finding the right opportunity. It's about structuring the deal in a way that works for everyone involved. In this week's episode of Business Buying Strategies, Jonathan hands the microphone to his dealmaking partner Martin, who shares insights from a live webinar with Dealmakers clients. Martin has been directly involved in hundreds of acquisitions and is currently negotiating multiple deals himself. In this session he explains how real deals are structured, how negotiations actually unfold, and what funding strategies are working in today's market. This episode is packed with practical advice drawn from real negotiations happening right now. What You'll Learn in This Episode Why negotiation skills matter more than clever deal structures Many new dealmakers become fascinated by complex deal structures. But Martin explains that the structure itself is rarely the difficult part. The real skill lies in negotiating terms that work for both sides. Successful negotiators focus on three outcomes: • Getting the business cheaper • Getting better payment terms • Getting more value for the same price When you negotiate with these principles in mind, both sides feel they've achieved a good outcome. Why deal structure can change a business's value dramatically One of the most striking insights from the episode is how the same business can be valued very differently depending on the deal structure. Martin shares a real example where four potential deal structures valued the same business between £1.2 million and £3 million. Nothing about the business itself changed. Only the structure of the deal. Ironically, the structure with the highest valuation turned out to be the best deal for the buyer because it produced significantly stronger annual cashflow. It's a powerful reminder that: Price alone never tells the full story. Why preparation matters – but expecting the unexpected matters more Many first-time buyers believe they need to be perfectly prepared before approaching a seller. Martin explains why this mindset can hold you back. In real negotiations, unexpected moments happen constantly. He shares a story about visiting a potential acquisition target and discovering—mid-conversation—that the seller spoke Danish, which unexpectedly became a useful rapport-building moment. The lesson? You cannot prepare for every possible outcome. But you can stay flexible and genuine. The difference between objections and buying questions A key negotiation skill is recognising the difference between: An objection and A buying question Often when sellers raise concerns, they are not rejecting the deal. They are simply participating in the buying process. For example, when a seller asks: "How do I know you'll actually pay me the deferred payments in the future?" This is usually a buying question rather than resistance. Martin explains how to respond by: • Sharing your long-term vision for the business • Explaining why reputation matters for future acquisitions • Highlighting legal protections within the deal Handled correctly, these moments can build trust rather than derail negotiations. The most common funding options used in acquisitions Funding a deal doesn't always require traditional bank loans. Martin outlines several financing options frequently used in acquisitions: Invoice Finance One of the easiest and most flexible funding sources, especially for B2B businesses. Asset Finance Funding secured against equipment, machinery or vehicles within the business. Bridging Finance Often used when property assets are involved. Cashflow Lending Possible but generally riskier because it relies solely on the borrower's ability to repay. Interestingly, Martin's preference is often no external finance at all, using seller-funded structures instead. These can dramatically reduce risk for the buyer. The danger of majority share purchases Another important insight relates to buying majority stakes instead of full ownership. Martin warns that shared ownership can lead to serious problems if the relationship between directors breaks down. Whenever possible, buying 100% of the business is usually the cleaner and safer option. If a minority stake remains, it's essential to agree upfront how future exits will be handled. How to handle seller concerns about deferred payments One of the most common objections sellers raise is concern about receiving payments years into the future. Martin explains how to reassure sellers by emphasising: • Your long-term strategy for the business • The reputational damage of failing to honour agreements • Legal protections within the share purchase agreement • The mutual incentives to make the business succeed When positioned correctly, deferred payments become a shared success model, not a risk. Key Takeaway The biggest misconception about buying businesses is that deals depend on complicated financial engineering. In reality, successful acquisitions come down to three things: • Strong negotiation skills • Smart deal structures • Clear alignment between buyer and seller Master these, and opportunities open up quickly. If you want to understand how real deals are negotiated and funded in today's market, this episode is essential listening. Expect practical advice, honest insights, and real-world examples from the front lines of dealmaking.

Most loan officers hit a ceiling with their production because they're trying to do everything.It starts innocently. You take the intake calls “so you don't lose the lead.” You handle the CD review “so the client feels taken care of.” You do the post-close follow-up “so they remember you.” And before you know it, you're answering texts at the pool on vacation, buried in tasks that feel urgent but don't actually grow the business.In this episode of The 360 Experience, Tim Braheem sits down with elite originator Becky Staples to unpack the real reason she's been able to consistently produce at a high level without sacrificing her life in the process.Becky is a 20-year mortgage veteran coming off an incredible 2025: 200+ loans funded and $80M+ in production. She breaks down how she built her team over time, how she earned Realtor buy-in for “working with the team” (not just her), and how she runs a long-term database and gifting system that keeps clients coming back AND referring more buyers to her.Top Takeaways for Loan Officers:1️⃣ How to build a team without blowing up your margins and the exact roles Becky added (in the right order) to buy back time, increase capacity, and protect the client experience.2️⃣ The mindset shift that unlocks delegation and why “they have to talk to ME” is often a story that keeps you trapped, and how Becky trains her people to deliver an experience clients love.3️⃣ How to get Realtor buy-in for your team model, plus the simple way Becky transfers trust so partners feel confident referring clients even when the LO isn't doing every step.4️⃣ A CRM discipline that eliminates dropped leads (notes + next-step tasks + clear ownership) so every lead gets followed up whether they're buying now or later.5️⃣ How Becky stays top-of-mind with long-term touchpoints and a multi-year gifting program that turns past clients into an “outside sales force.”Ready to stop being the bottleneck in your own business?If this conversation lit a fire in you, the next step is simple: join The Loan Atlas and start building the team, process, and database systems that give you back your time and elevate your production.ABOUT TIM BRAHEEMWith more than 25 years of experience as a highly successful mortgage professional, industry leader, educator, and life coach, Tim Braheem is committed to engaging with people on a deep level and helping them uncover the barriers they have placed in the way of having the level of success they deserve in both their business and personal lives.FOLLOW Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/tbraheem/LinkedIn ► https://www.linkedin.com/in/timbraheemTHE LOAN ATLASJOIN ► https://go.theloanatlas.com/membership FOLLOWInstagram ► https://www.instagram.com/theloanatlas/YOUTUBE ► https://www.youtube.com/@LoanAtlas----------Mentioned in this episode:Join us at MASTERMIND 2026!Mastermind Summit 2026 isn't another mortgage event filled with fluff and sales pitches.

In this episode, I'm diving into the concept of belief plans, a tool I've been teaching my 200k Mastermind students to help them shift their focus from tasks to belief.

Send a textIn this episode of The Corporate Life, host Hina Siddiqui sits down with George Dubuc, a man who has witnessed the evolution of connection from the engineering floors of General Motors in 1967 to the digital chaos of the modern era. Known as "The Ultimate Networker," George shares his perspective on why America is facing an epidemic of loneliness and how the transition from genuine human connection to transactional "dehumanized" units is affecting our mental health.George discusses his journey from building internet infrastructure when people were still asking "what's a website?" to his current role as an author and producer of the TV show America's Real Deal. He offers a candid look at the "noise" of social media, the breakdown of traditional family networks, and his ambitious new mission to launch a "Mastermind" movement for the 2028 U.S. Presidential run focused on logic and facts rather than propaganda.Key TakeawaysThe most important asset in life is who you know and who knows you, yet many people fail to nurture relationships. Modern technology is moving faster than human brain evolution, leading to frustration and a "ghosting" culture where connections are purely transactional. Success in the digital age often rewards those making the most "noise" rather than the highest quality product.Episode HighlightsGeorge reflects on the shrinking of family networks, noting his own hometown gathering dropped from 100 people to just 15 as younger generations delay marriage and reproduction. He also contrasts the "regimented" business world of the 1970s with today's "do your own thing" authenticity, where rules have been replaced by convenience. Finally, he shares his grandfather's secret to a wonderful life: work hard every single day, both physically and mentally.Timestamps00:00 - Introduction to the Ultimate Networker George Dubuc 03:30 - The importance of nurturing long-term relationships 06:00 - The decline of family networks and the rise of loneliness 09:30 - Why human brains are struggling to keep up with technology 22:00 - Evolution of the internet and doing business on the web 26:00 - America's Real Deal: Shark Tank on steroids 34:30 - Social interaction games and the "Sexuality Probe" 40:30 - The 2028 Mastermind Presidential movementConnect with GuestWebsite: theultimatenetworker.com TV Show: americasrealdeal.comConnect with HinaWEBSITE I https://thehinasiddiqui.com/ LINKEDIN I / hinasiddiqui INSTAGRAM I @hinawithwings YOUTUBE I / @thehinasiddiqui Email I hina@thehinasiddiqui.comCheck out Hina's books: https://amzn.to/The Path to ExitFounders—thinking of selling or raising capital?

There comes a point in your business where the next business growth investment is not about tactics. It's not even about strategy. It is about investing in the right rooms that give you access. You may be considering a mastermind, a coach, or a high-level room that looks impressive on paper. And yet something inside you pauses. Not fear. Not scarcity. Just awareness. Because when you have built real experience, you know that the wrong room does not just cost money. It costs momentum, confidence, and clarity. In Episode 480 of Amplify Your Success Podcast, I share the leadership filter I personally use when deciding whether a growth container is aligned. Not based on bold income promises. Not based on urgency. But based on the stage of growth, leadership maturity, and the version of you that is emerging. I outline the three distinct stages of an expert-based business and why each stage requires a different type of support. A room that stretches one leader can overwhelm another. A container that once expanded you can quietly start to constrain you if you have outgrown it. I also walk through the red flags that signal misalignment, the green flags that reflect integrity and stability, and the difference between healthy stretch and pressure that pulls you off center. If you are evaluating your next investment and want to choose from sovereignty rather than emotion, this episode will help you make a grounded decision that protects your authority and supports your expansion. Key Takeaways: [00:00] Why investing in the wrong growth container often comes down to evolving discernment, not failure. [06:48] The three stages of growth in an expert-based business and what kind of support each stage truly requires. [07:56] Stage One: Why foundational clarity and skill-based coaching matter more than high-level strategy rooms. [10:57] Stage Two: The hybrid model that supports scaling peer mastermind plus strategic advisory. [14:29] Stage Three: Why curated proximity and leadership-level conversations become essential. [20:07] Red flags to watch for when evaluating a mastermind or coach, including income promises and emotional manipulation. [23:38] Green flags that signal alignment, transparency, and real track record. [26:38] The real fear behind high-ticket investments and how to evaluate ROI beyond the price. [27:47] Why being in the right room accelerates growth but only if you take ownership of implementation.

RJM's Ron Menelli: The MIDI Wizard Behind the Pros' Pedalboards Description Ron Menelli from RJM Music joins Blake Wyland to tell the long, nerdy, wildly practical story behind one of the most essential “behind the curtain” brands in modern guitar rigs. Ron walks through his early days building circuits from Radio Shack notebooks, studying electrical engineering and computer science, and eventually bailing on the corporate telecom world to build something of his own. That leap leads to RJM's first big breakthrough: the AmpGizmo, a solution that brought MIDI control to the era of giant channel-switching amps with giant multi-button footswitches. From there, Ron explains how RJM evolved from amp control into full rig command centers, including the RG16 and the Mastermind ecosystem, and why products like the PBC-6X became the best-selling “brain” for players who want one button to handle loops, pedal order, and MIDI commands in a single move. You also get a real talk segment on the business side: what it's like building gear for a small, pro-focused niche (where your customers are the artists everyone else watches), why Ron intentionally keeps RJM small, and what he'd tell anyone trying to start a pedal or guitar company today. Plus: a deep dive into MIDI 2.0, why it's taking forever, and why the promise of “plug and play” control could finally make MIDI less terrifying for normal humans. Then we wrap with the essentials: favorite Boss pedals (OD-1 love), a Rush-inspired tap-dance origin story… and Chicago thin-crust pizza supremacy.

Book a call with my team: https://linktw.in/aqROSR In this video, I'm breaking down why proximity is the most underrated lever in business and how being in the right room with the right people at the right time creates transformational shifts you can't get anywhere else. The fastest way to grow isn't a course. It's not a book. It's not even a mentor. It's proximity. Getting close to people who are already where you want to be. Every major shift in my business happened because I got into the right room at the right time, and I'm showing you exactly how to create that for yourself even if you're starting from zero. I'm walking you through what proximity actually creates and giving you the exact playbook for how to build proximity strategically. If you're spending more time consuming content than having real conversations with people ahead of you, you're missing the most important part. I host in-person masterminds where business owners come together to solve real problems, build real connections, and create the kind of proximity that changes everything.

What happens when the hustle slows down and you're left wondering if you should get a teaching credential instead? In this raw and honest conversation, Quynh, Sara, and Jessie open up about the parts of running a creative business we don't usually talk about: the financial worries, the seasonal doubts, and the struggle to keep going when your energy isn't the same. "I feel like every year it repeats and it always starts in January and sometime in the summer for me when I go through these random moments where I'm like, do I need to go get a part-time job? Do I need to maybe change careers?" - Sara This isn't your typical "boss babe" pep talk. We are three paper artists who've been in business for over a decade, sitting down to have the real conversation about what it takes to sustain a creative life. We talk about the pressure to look perfect on social media while hiding the messy truth, how motherhood changes ambition, and why finding your "why" is the anchor that keeps you from drifting when things get hard. What You'll Hear in This Episode: Why January brings existential career questions (and why that's normal) The uncomfortable truth about money conversations in the artist community How to balance motherhood and creative ambition without feeling torn Why your medium isn't your message and what is The power of having people who understand your struggles Writing as a tool for clearing creative space in your mind How to tell if you're moving in the right direction (even when it's not clear)
Julia discusses the most criminally underrated, often overlooked, perfect, interesting, authentic, once-in-a-lifetime talent that is Josh O'Connor. Join her in this discussion of his beautiful films including 'La Chimera,' 'Wake Up Dead Man,' 'God's Own Country,' 'The Mastermind,' 'The History of Sound,' and more. Oh and something called 'Challengers' but that's a deep cut. Julia very eloquently unpacks why Josh O'Connor's career (and general being) is legitimately perfect and he will go far and we all owe him a lot and he will continue to be cast in everything ever and probably kiss more boys on-screen, too. So, put on your poorly sewn tennis clothes, get intimate in the back of your busted car, torment your ex best friend/lover, and join the fun!Ep.
