Tales of a house cleaner with libido.By Dina Petro - Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. Impotence Therapy for a grieving man.Frank's lost love took a toll on his manhood.I clean homes as a business. Some clients are on a regular schedule, but some new requests come in; either for one-time services or as a new recurring client.The minute I walked into Frank's house for a cleaning job, he was awkwardly eyeing my body, checking me out, top to toe. He was a big flirt as well. He was an older man of mid-fifties, tall in size with an athlete body. He was wearing athletic Navy blue sweatpants and a red tee shirt.All of his eying and flirting actions were from a distance. He did not get anywhere near me while I was working. I have to admit I was flirting back and acting as loose as I could.Of course, the outfit I was wearing was sexy. It consisted of a lose top and a short, knee high skirt. Being a good-looking woman in my late twenties with silky soft white skin; I must have been a point of interest of that naughty older man who seemed to be a ‘twat-hungry' man from the first minute I met him. I carried in my assortment of cleaners, machines and other supplies.I was about to start cleaning the major living room which was open to the kitchen. It still had a small Christmas tree from the last Christmas, a couple months ago. I confirmed the list of rooms and processes requested, and the full charges for the day's work.He approached me direct this time saying “Julie, I am sure you have noticed my eyeing your body wherever you go. I really like what I see very much, but I hope I did not bother you or harass you other than eyeing your body and flirting with you?”I giggled saying, “No, you did not Sir. I did not complain either, did I?”He smiled saying, “No you did not, but I have a very special request which I am going so spill out directly without going around the bush, if I may?”I said, “Well, go ahead Sir, say it, I will be honest and direct forward as well by answering you.”He said, “I have an offer for you, if you finish the rest of your cleaning job bottomless, I would pay you ‘time and a half; of what we had agreed.”I did not give any reaction right away, I happen to be a sex-loving whore, besides, I do this kind of low-paying job for the purpose of getting better tips, no matter what it would take to make those tips. So, showing my body or at certain situations offering my body, is sometimes part of that. I wasn't truly shocked from hearing his request, it wasn't the first time a client asked me for such thing, but I acted shocked, not disgusted, and without losing my smile. Then I said, “What do you mean sir, and how could I do that?”He smiled saying, “Oh, you know what I mean Julie. But for the ‘how' part, it is easy. Just drop your skirt down, make your panties follow it and continue working like that. Don't hide your lovely womanhood. Simply be comfortable showing me your goodies.”I said, “I would be literally nude by then. I am not wearing any bra.”He smiled saying, “What a nice piece of information. I would love that, but you still can keep wearing your top; as per our deal.”I was silent but grinning. Thinking about it for a while, I wanted to do it by all means. The money he offered was very tempting, but I did not want to sound like a cheap desperate whore. I said, “I am sorry, sir. I can't do that, I need the money, I have a lot of needs. But how could I ever display my body like that?”He shocked me by insisting and increasing the money offer to double the cleaning pay, which finally made me approve of his request without any further hesitation. I found myself wanting to do it, especially since I happen to actually be a sex-loving whore; and it was my chance to seduce an older man by building a lusty fire in his loins. I said, “Okay, Frank. You've got yourself a deal.” I looked him in the eyes and grinned, then took my skirt off and dropped my panties down, right where I was standing. I loved watching his lustful reaction as I stepped toward him, then turned and bent over at the waist to pick up my garments. I continued working the duties like that, as if nothing happened.The man laid down on the couch, propping his neck and head up by a huge headrest. I sure was acting like a slut, I made sure my back was always facing him while I was doing lots of pending over and getting on my knees as I mopped and cleaned the floor areas, making sure my fully bare assets, ass, trimmed cunt and all; were in full display for his ‘cunt hungry eyes'. My walking about the place was quite sultry and with lots of sway in my ass.Frank was getting an instant hard-on. A few minutes later, he was bold enough to pull his cock out from under his sweat pants and started massaging it. It was a beautiful phallus with a wide head and thick veiny shaft. It pointed straight up. I acted as if I did not notice or see him, but I was looking at it through the corner of my eyes without him noticing me. Finally, I looked at his cock smiling, and said, “What the hell are you doing Frank?”He said, “Oh, Julie; I hope that doesn't bother you. I am trying not to bother you, as per our deal. But just eyeing you, to be honest, this is the first time I've been able to get my cock hard and big for a long time. I couldn't help it, sorry.”I was smiling, still looking straight at his hard cock and saying, “It is okay. It is a nice cock by the way. I bet it hurts. It's showing all of its veins and looks like it could burst from the pressure, or trying to get out of its skin, I noticed how hard it is getting.”He said, “Yes, you are right, it is hurting me, but my balls are in more pain. I have to admit to you, I am living my most pleasurable moments since my late lovely wife passed away last December. I wasn't even dreaming to see such a gorgeous body with breathtaking cunt and ass like yours. Suddenly my cock seems to be asking for attention. That is why I am massaging it myself, at least”I grinned again saying, “You are making me feel guilty for making it that hard. I can take care of it? I can give it a little tenderness or relieve it right away. But only if you want me to?”With a wide-open mouth of a shock he said, “Want you to do that? I would love for you to do it! If you would, please, I would be the happiest man ever.”I walked closer to him, knelt on the couch next to his feet, then bent down and gave the shiny phallic crown a little kiss, while looking him straight in the eyes. Then I softly said, “But I am sure you understand that riding your cock and getting fully fucked;  it rightly should increase my tip considerably more. It is not part of our agreed deal, is it?”I knew I was acting like a real hooker by then, and I sure sounded like one, asking for extra money to be fucked by him. But what the heck, I had started it and wanted to benefit from it even as I secretly lusted for it. Besides, I knew by getting him turned on that much, and him wanting to fuck me so bad; he would never refuse anything I was about to ask for.He moaned loudly saying, “Oh God, yes of course, let us say triple, instead of double the amount of the original contract.”For what, Frank?” I wanted a clear set of terms.“Uh, for riding my cock and making me cum while fucking you.” Frank said with a bashful tone.“Sweetie, if you could put the money in my bag now, I'll make you happy, Frank.”Frank walked into his office, his shaft swaying horizontally. He came back naked with a check and dropped in in my bag, then retook his place on the couch. I took the opportunity to remove my blouse and check my appearance in the entry mirror. As I walked into the living room with my ass and tits swaying, I looked at the happy man with a sultry expression. His cock was still extra firm and I did my best not to look too impatient to ride him.I didn't want to waste any time on oral sucking or anything else. I had a feeling he may cum fast. The poor guy seemed to be so happy that his cock was finally working again. He was so proud of his manhood, and he certainly had a cock to be proud of, getting it that hard. I just lifted my legs over his, saddled his body. Then I looked him in the eyes and smiled. I held his cock in my hand and started sliding his tip across my cunt lips, to be sure I was wet enough for the two of us. His huge veins were rigid and I knew it was going to add to my cunt's pleasure.Then I was lowering my body onto it.  After I lined my cunt up with his cock, I felt it pressing my outer cunt lips open. When I rubbed a little, he started lifting his hips up higher, trying to fuck me fast and he screamed, “Please let it go inside, I want to fuck that sweet cunt of yours so bad!”I applied some pressure over his cock allowing it to start sliding in my already engorged and slippery wet cunt. I kept at it till he was balls deep in my cunt, I rested over his cock a little, watching the excellent look of satisfaction over the older man's face while he was closing his eyes. I was enjoying the feeling of his cock stretching my cunt's inner walls. Then I started dancing over his cock, up and down, nonstop.Frank was fucking me, and I was riding his cock like the real whore I am. We were both pushing in and out till he was screaming, asking if he could cum inside my cunt, I screamed “No, please don't, but you can Cum over my tits or in my mouth if you like” he couldn't choose, he had no time for it, he pulled out of my cunt and was shooting his cum loads over my firm tits, lips, cheeks and everywhere he could. He had months of cum bursting in ropes of white cream.I got off him, got on my knees and sucked his cock dry and clean again. I went to the bathroom for a quick clean up.When I came back, Frank was semi flaccid and smiling contentedly.As I worked, Frank told me of his grief and the loss of his active sex life, since his beautiful wife passed away. He said he's been impotent since her death, until I arrived, today.When I finished the housecleaning, I looked at the check in my bag. It also had an extra envelop next to it, with the word ‘tip' written on it.  I turned to him and noticed he was now sound asleep with a beautiful soft cock and balls resting nicely. I bent down and took his warm soft cock in my mouth and gently sucked him deeply, while my tongue gently and repeatedly made swallowing motions.Within a few minutes his cock was waking and stretching into my throat. I used my lips to firmly squeeze his shaft while I pulled halfway out. Frank was awake now, but gently massaging my wavy hair and saying nothing.I reached a thumb and finger around the base of his shaft and began a rapid pistoning of his thick and stiff cock. His breathing became halted and his thighs went stiff. As his ball sack constricted, I knew his load was about to erupt.  Felt the thick cream slide down my esophagus, as Frank's cock ceased it's pulsating.I gently rolled my tongue around his beautiful cock for a few moments while his breathing slowly relaxed.I gently arose and let his shaft plop down on his pelvis.“Frank.” I gently said. “You have a beautiful and very virile cock. You're a wonderful and gentle man. I'm glad I was able to help you with two services, this trip.”I then leaned up and kissed him on the lips and left his house.By Dina Petro for An E StoryThe Cleaning Lady's Preferred UniformThe housewife allowed me to wear slutty lingerie while working.Forward I've been taking on some part-time work to help out my financial situation, using a local service to connect with local folks who have specific work needing to be done.I focused on house cleaning since I'm very good at it and it usually turns into a recurring gig and steady reliable work with folks that I connect well with.A house cleaning service for a few hours was requested from the freelance contractor's service office, They called me and I said I would be there on time. Evidently, this client did a deep dig on the references for several cleaning services, and I was specifically requested by the Hilmersons. When I reached the given address, rang the doorbell of the luxurious home. The door was opened for me by a good-looking middle-aged house wife, “Good evening Mrs. Hilmerson, I am Julie, your cleaning lady” I said.Mrs. Hilmerson smiled, asked me to come in saying, “Please; call me Melinda.”Mrs. Hilmerson briefed me on what was supposed to be done and I went to work right away. About half an hour later, Melinda walked to me saying, “Julie, I hope you don't mind me leaving you alone and on your own. I am sure you already know what to do, and you seem good at it as well. I have some important social club matters to handle for a couple of hours.”I smiled saying, “Of course Melinda, go right ahead, but I have a request please?”She said, “Please, by all means, say it Julie.”I said, “Since I will be all alone in the house, can I wear something more comfortable for me to work in, maybe it is not customary for my job, but it feels very comfortable and makes me feel free. Plus, I move about faster.”She giggled saying, “of course darling, you are free to wear whatever makes you comfortable, even if you wanted to work naked.”We both laughed. Then I said, “not to that extent, but it is very close to that anyway.”She pointed at a close-by bedroom saying, “Okay, go ahead, get changed while I get ready as well, let me see that outfit, you are making me so curious about.”I took my bag with me, got in the room, then striped down to my outfit which was a simple black, totally see-through, and a high rise thong, made of the same material, totally transparent showing almost all of my Brazilian assets. I packed my pleated skirt and polo back into the bag. This matching minimal Ensemble allows me to feel more energetic and limber as I move around the house I also feel so damn sexy, which gives me even more energy to do my job.When I walked out, Melinda was already out waiting for me, she looked at me totally shocked, then smiling while checking my body out, top to toe, thoroughly. She giggled saying, “Hey woman, that looks so hot on you. I almost feel turned on being a woman. What if a man sees you like that?”I giggled saying, “thanks, so sweet of you to say so, does it really look hot? I know it is a slutty outfit, but it makes me feel totally free while working; almost naked, like you said.”She said, “I like it, yes of course it looks so hot on you, but make sure the front blinds are closed. You don't want any prudish neighbors to see you like that. The only person who has the ability to unlock that door is my husband, who is not due until late this afternoon; but;”I said, “But what?”She smiled saying, “well, he has the habit of showing up without prior notice, but that happens only  once every couple weeks, and if he walks in and sees you like that; Girl you will likely get seduced; even if you had an army to protect you, Julie.”I almost screamed, “What? Let me change back into my clothes then.”She giggled saying, “No honey, you got me wrong. I have no problem with you staying like that even if Carl came, as long as you don't hold me despise me for what he talks you into?”Then she continued saying, “I mean, you have nothing to worry about, even if you stayed dressed like that. He will not force you into anything. When Carl comes home unannounced, it is because he is so horny with a stiff cock; and he is big, Julie. He would pull my hand, walk me to the bedroom, strip me naked, and fuck me like there is no tomorrow.”I said, “but you are his wife, he has the right to do it to you. Why would he do it to me? I can't cheat on you behind your back and in your own house; no matter what he says to me.”Melinda walked closer to me, wrapped her arms around me and gave me a little peck on the cheek; whispering, “Honey, do not worry about cheating on me, I am okay with it. Honest, if he likes you, he would give you no chance to refuse anyway.” I have more regular fucking than my fuck-holes can recover from. He's got enough libido for sharing.Melinda gave me a little playful pat on my ass; smiling and saying, “honey, I am out, have fun whatever it is” and she rushed out the door.I stood there, amazed!Damn it! Melinda had left me with lots of urges on my mind, but none of them is to change back into my other outfit. I mean, I am a slut who loves sex. She said he was sex-loving man, and he is big too. Besides, she said she didn't mind if her husband fucked me, so my final decision was to go on working in my sexy, slutty outfit. And I was willing to take the risk, or should I say, I was hoping it would happen.Anyway; Less than half an hour later, my heart beats were racing much faster when I heard the keys jangle, the door click, and the knob twisted,‘Wow! That was fast,' I thought.I was standing by the sink, turned around to find out who it was.My heart almost stopped beating when a good looking, tall, middle-aged man walked in, He closed and locked the door behind him. He froze there for a minute after saying “Hi.”Then he walked slowly towards me saying, “I could almost guess you are the cleaning woman, but you can' be, can you?”I nodded saying, “Yes, I am. Why can't I be?”He was boldly and bravely checking my whole body out, top to toe. I was a little embarrassed. I was almost nude in front of his hungry eyes. True, I tried to cover my tits with one hand and my cunt with the other one; but I was still semi-nude anyway. He pushed both of my hands away from their places, saying, “because you don't look like a cleaning woman, my dear. You look like a beauty queen, honestly.”I almost giggled saying, “What? How does a cleaning woman look in your opinion?”He smiled saying, “old, fat, ugly; but you are totally different. You look like the sexiest woman on the face of the earth. Don't even tell me your job is cleaning houses and such.”I said, “well, maybe it is not my major job, but I do it to make the extra money; that is all. I hope that is okay with you, Sir.”He smiled saying, “Wrong ma'am. Any beauty queen like you would not clean houses and kitchens for the extra money.”I said, “what else should I clean, then?” My eyes drifted to his crotch as I realized I had set up his next tawdry response.He looked me straight in the eyes with the most erotic, hungry look I have ever seen; saying, “I think you should get on your knees and clean cocks, my darling.”By then his hands were already touching me and feeling my body all over. He felt my bare tits after he had pushed the top aside. His other hand went over my hips, then up over my ass and upper thighs. But surprisingly enough, I didn't do anything to stop him, I was just watching him, barely trying to pull back from him; and my ass was glued to the kitchen counter behind me.That was an answer I had never expected to come that fast from him, but I was an experienced slut, and without thinking about it I found myself saying, “And you don't expect that for the same prices Sir, do you?”I mean, I think I blew it right there, I shocked myself by such slutty, whore-like answer, it was a damn implication that I approved of his suggestion if he paid me commensurately.He looked at me with a wide naughty smile, as if he loved my reaction. He unbuckled his belt, unzipped his pants and pulled out an almost foot long, rock hard cock. He flashed it to my eyes first, then he placed both of his hands over my shoulders saying, “No my darling. And call me Carl, please. Miss Julie, I don't expect it for the same pay, I expect it to be at least ten times the cleaning girl's pay. I am fully prepared to accept any mutual terms you set, just get on your knees and start cleaning my cock, please.” He softly was pushing me downwards towards his erect cock.Surprisingly enough, I got on my knees, felt his lovely cock, I admired it and massaged it a bit first.Then I got closer and wrapped my lips around it and started sucking on it.

Tales of a house cleaner with libido.By Dina Petro - Listen to the Podcast at Steamy Stories. Impotence Therapy for a grieving man.Frank's lost love took a toll on his manhood.I clean homes as a business. Some clients are on a regular schedule, but some new requests come in; either for one-time services or as a new recurring client.The minute I walked into Frank's house for a cleaning job, he was awkwardly eyeing my body, checking me out, top to toe. He was a big flirt as well. He was an older man of mid-fifties, tall in size with an athlete body. He was wearing athletic Navy blue sweatpants and a red tee shirt.All of his eying and flirting actions were from a distance. He did not get anywhere near me while I was working. I have to admit I was flirting back and acting as loose as I could.Of course, the outfit I was wearing was sexy. It consisted of a lose top and a short, knee high skirt.

A few minutes later, he was bold enough to pull his cock out from under his sweat pants and started massaging it. It was a beautiful phallus with a wide head and thick veiny shaft. It pointed straight up. I acted as if I did not notice or see him, but I was looking at it through the corner of my eyes without him noticing me. Finally, I looked at his cock smiling, and said, “What the hell are you doing Frank?”He said, “Oh, Julie; I hope that doesn't bother you. I am trying not to bother you, as per our deal. But just eyeing you, to be honest, this is the first time I've been able to get my cock hard and big for a long time. I couldn't help it, sorry.”I was smiling, still looking straight at his hard cock and saying, “It is okay. It is a nice cock by the way. I bet it hurts. It's showing all of its veins and looks like it could burst from the pressure, or trying to get out of its skin, I noticed how hard it is getting.”He said, “Yes, you are right, it is hurting me, but my balls are in more pain. I have to admit to you, I am living my most pleasurable moments since my late lovely wife passed away last December.

The door was opened for me by a good-looking middle-aged house wife, “Good evening Mrs. Hilmerson, I am Julie, your cleaning lady” I said.Mrs. Hilmerson smiled, asked me to come in saying, “Please; call me Melinda.”Mrs. Hilmerson briefed me on what was supposed to be done and I went to work right away. About half an hour later, Melinda walked to me saying, “Julie, I hope you don't mind me leaving you alone and on your own. I am sure you already know what to do, and you seem good at it as well. I have some important social club matters to handle for a couple of hours.”I smiled saying, “Of course Melinda, go right ahead, but I have a request please?”She said, “Please, by all means, say it Julie.”I said, “Since I will be all alone in the house, can I wear something more comfortable for me to work in, maybe it is not customary for my job, but it feels very comfortable and makes me feel free. Plus, I move about faster.”She giggled saying, “of course darling, you are free to wear whatever makes you comfortable, even if you wanted to work naked.”We both laughed. Then I said, “not to that extent, but it is very close to that anyway.”She pointed at a close-by bedroom saying, “Okay, go ahead, get changed while I get ready as well, let me see that outfit, you are making me so curious about.”I took my bag with me, got in the room, then striped down to my outfit which was a simple black, totally see-through, and a high rise thong, made of the same material, totally transparent showing almost all of my Brazilian assets. I packed my pleated skirt and polo back into the bag. This matching minimal Ensemble allows me to feel more energetic and limber as I move around the house I also feel so damn sexy, which gives me even more energy to do my job.When I walked out, Melinda was already out waiting for me, she looked at me totally shocked, then smiling while checking my body out, top to toe, thoroughly. She giggled saying, “Hey woman, that looks so hot on you. I almost feel turned on being a woman. What if a man sees you like that?”I giggled saying, “thanks, so sweet of you to say so, does it really look hot? I know it is a slutty outfit, but it makes me feel totally free while working; almost naked, like you said.”She said, “I like it, yes of course it looks so hot on you, but make sure the front blinds are closed. You don't want any prudish neighbors to see you like that. The only person who has the ability to unlock that door is my husband, who is not due until late this afternoon; but;”I said, “But what?”She smiled saying, “well, he has the habit of showing up without prior notice, but that happens only  once every couple weeks, and if he walks in and sees you like that; Girl you will likely get seduced; even if you had an army to protect you, Julie.”I almost screamed, “What? Let me change back into my clothes then.”She giggled saying, “No honey, you got me wrong. I have no problem with you staying like that even if Carl came, as long as you don't hold me despise me for what he talks you into?”Then she continued saying, “I mean, you have nothing to worry about, even if you stayed dressed like that. He will not force you into anything. When Carl comes home unannounced, it is because he is so horny with a stiff cock; and he is big, Julie. He would pull my hand, walk me to the bedroom, strip me naked, and fuck me like there is no tomorrow.”I said, “but you are his wife, he has the right to do it to you. Why would he do it to me? I can't cheat on you behind your back and in your own house; no matter what he says to me.”Melinda walked closer to me, wrapped her arms around me and gave me a little peck on the cheek; whispering, “Honey, do not worry about cheating on me, I am okay with it. Honest, if he likes you, he would give you no chance to refuse anyway.” I have more regular fucking than my fuck-holes can recover from. He's got enough libido for sharing.Melinda gave me a little playful pat on my ass; smiling and saying, “honey, I am out, have fun whatever it is” and she rushed out the door.I stood there, amazed!Damn it! Melinda had left me with lots of urges on my mind, but none of them is to change back into my other outfit. I mean, I am a slut who loves sex. She said he was sex-loving man, and he is big too. Besides, she said she didn't mind if her husband fucked me, so my final decision was to go on working in my sexy, slutty outfit. And I was willing to take the risk, or should I say, I was hoping it would happen.Anyway; Less than half an hour later, my heart beats were racing much faster when I heard the keys jangle, the door click, and the knob twisted,‘Wow! That was fast,' I thought.I was standing by the sink, turned around to find out who it was.My heart almost stopped beating when a good looking, tall, middle-aged man walked in, He closed and locked the door behind him. He froze there for a minute after saying “Hi.”Then he walked slowly towards me saying, “I could almost guess you are the cleaning woman, but you can' be, can you?”I nodded saying, “Yes, I am. Why can't I be?”He was boldly and bravely checking my whole body out, top to toe. I was a little embarrassed. I was almost nude in front of his hungry eyes. True, I tried to cover my tits with one hand and my cunt with the other one; but I was still semi-nude anyway. He pushed both of my hands away from their places, saying, “because you don't look like a cleaning woman, my dear. You look like a beauty queen, honestly.”I almost giggled saying, “What? How does a cleaning woman look in your opinion?”He smiled saying, “old, fat, ugly; but you are totally different. You look like the sexiest woman on the face of the earth. Don't even tell me your job is cleaning houses and such.”I said, “well, maybe it is not my major job, but I do it to make the extra money; that is all. I hope that is okay with you, Sir.”He smiled saying, “Wrong ma'am. Any beauty queen like you would not clean houses and kitchens for the extra money.”I said, “what else should I clean, then?” My eyes drifted to his crotch as I realized I had set up his next tawdry response.He looked me straight in the eyes with the most erotic, hungry look I have ever seen; saying, “I think you should get on your knees and clean cocks, my darling.”By then his hands were already touching me and feeling my body all over. He felt my bare tits after he had pushed the top aside. His other hand went over my hips, then up over my ass and upper thighs. But surprisingly enough, I didn't do anything to stop him, I was just watching him, barely trying to pull back from him; and my ass was glued to the kitchen counter behind me.That was an answer I had never expected to come that fast from him, but I was an experienced slut, and without thinking about it I found myself saying, “And you don't expect that for the same prices Sir, do you?”I mean, I think I blew it right there, I shocked myself by such slutty, whore-like answer, it was a damn implication that I approved of his suggestion if he paid me commensurately.He looked at me with a wide naughty smile, as if he loved my reaction. He unbuckled his belt, unzipped his pants and pulled out an almost foot long, rock hard cock. He flashed it to my eyes first, then he placed both of his hands over my shoulders saying, “No my darling. And call me Carl, please. Miss Julie, I don't expect it for the same pay, I expect it to be at least ten times the cleaning girl's pay. I am fully prepared to accept any mutual terms you set, just get on your knees and start cleaning my cock, please.” He softly was pushing me downwards towards his erect cock.Surprisingly enough, I got on my knees, felt his lovely cock, I admired it and massaged it a bit first.Then I got closer and wrapped my lips around it and started sucking on it.

This week, we're taking a look at Liv Ullman's 2014 adaptation of the August Strindberg play Miss Julie. Starring Colin Farrell alongside an ascendant Jessica Chastain as a servant and mistress engaged in an scandalous flirtation, the film sees Ullman move the location to Northern Ireland and update the narrative with a modern, feminist framing. We get into the psychosexual drama at play and the film's stylistic successes and failures (especially in relation to the more acclaimed 1951 Swedish adaptation), plus we take a look at the long cultural tail of Ingmar Bergman and try to sort through our feelings on Chastain's underwhelming career. Is this the final film in Colin's dark night of the career? Or does his performance here presage the major comeback to come? Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

When Julie Chapus answered her phone, she was unaware that the distraught young woman on the other end would be her first contact with a pervasive human rights issue happening in Rochester -- human trafficking. “Miss Julie's School of Beauty” is a new outreach for victims of human trafficking. The innovative program provides cosmetology training to empower survivors. The training helps those in the Rochester area and also draws survivors from many other areas. Meet Julie Chapus, this week's Family Life Hometown Hero. The founder says Miss Julie's School of Beauty is an outreach of Christ for Kids Ministries of Rush, New York. ​When a trafficking victim has spent time on the street, they will likely be arrested for the very situation they have been forced into. Even if escape becomes possible, afterward - left with a criminal record - they experience extreme difficulty finding a job that pays a living wage. ​The school helps one's past not prevent a beautiful future. Acting on that conviction, we provide survivors and those at risk with an opportunity to earn a cosmetology license and enter into a rewarding career, at no cost to them. Because an state-granted cosmetology license removes the necessity of a background check, graduates are free to pursue an independent living without the necessity of explaining a traumatic history.

Her other favorite guest star role was playing Alison, George’s girlfriend, on NBC’s Seinfeld.  Shannon was cast in series regular roles on TV shows and if she fails to rank the show Muscle as her best experience, she’d risk offending her wonderful husband Nestor, whom you might recognize from his role on LOST, or more recently on The Morning Show; it was on this show the two of them defied producers orders to not date other cast members.  After many roles in movies and TV, Shannon pushed pause on acting to focus on motherhood while Nestor was traveling to film LOST.  Shannon and Nestor currently live in Los Angeles with their two sons Rafa and Marco and their dog Donna Borrelli Carbonell.  Shannon just published her first book All Is Not LOST, which talks about her journey into motherhood and her journey back to herself and all the ways her life paralleled the show LOST, which has been so near and dear to their family. Listen in to hear Shannon share: How she lost her sense of identity after motherhood The unexpected sense of loss, grief and emptiness she felt as she left her career and stepped into motherhood The risks of space and silence when we no longer have reasons to lean into our gifts and creativity How being in HA for LOST played a role in her reconnecting to her identity How her life parallel storylines in LOST and how the show helped lead her back to herself What it was like for Nestor to see Shannon struggle with her identity Why we all want to be seen and our constant search for meaning Links mentioned: Get your Early Bird ticket to the Shameless Mom Con Collective Connect with Shannon Book: All Is Not LOST Shannon on Instagram Nestor on Instagram Thank you to our sponsor: Bulldog Online Yoga: Head to bulldogonline.com and use promo code SHAMELESS for a 30 day free trial and 50% off your next month!

To date, “Birds of Prey” has made $83 million abroad and $142 million worldwide.17 February 2020 – Saskia Beer daughter of food icon Maggie beer dies unexpectedly – https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-02-17/saskia-beer-daughter-of-maggie-beer-dies-suddenly-in-her-sleep/11970996Saskia Beer, the daughter of South Australian cooking legend Maggie Beer has died "unexpectedly" yet "peacefully" in her sleep at the weekend.

The announcement coincides with GM's decision to withdraw Chevrolet from the domestic market in Thailand by the end of the year.Remembrances17 February 1909 – Geronimo - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GeronimoProminent leader and medicine man from the Bedonkohe band of the Apache tribe. From 1850 to 1886, Geronimo joined with members of three other Chiricahua Apache bands — the Tchihende, the Tsokanende and the Nednhi — to carry out numerous raids, as well as fight against Mexican and U.S. military campaigns in the northern Mexico states of Chihuahua and Sonora and in the southwestern American territories of New Mexico and Arizona. Geronimo's raids and related combat actions were a part of the prolonged period of the Apache–United States conflict, which started with American settlement in Apache lands following the end of the war with Mexico in 1848. During Geronimo's final period of conflict from 1876 to 1886, he "surrendered" three times and accepted life on the Apache reservations in Arizona. Reservation life was confining to the free-moving Apache people, and they resented restrictions on their customary way of life. He was a superb leader in raiding and warfare, he frequently led large numbers of men beyond his own following. At any one time, he would be in command of about 30 to 50 Apaches. He died from pneumonia at the age of 79 in Fort Sill, Oklahoma.17 February 2017 – Alan Aldridge - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alan_AldridgeBritish artist, graphic designer and illustrator. He is best known for his psychedelic artwork made for books and record covers by The Beatles and The Who. He designed a series of science fiction book covers for Penguin Books. He made a big impression with his illustrations for The Beatles Illustrated Lyrics book. He also provided illustrations for The Penguin Book of Comics, a history of British and American comic art. His work was characterised by a flowing, cartoony style and soft airbrushing – very much in step with the psychedelic styles of the times. His work includes the 1971 anti-war poster entitled A great place for hamburgers but who'd want to live there! Aldridge also created the artwork for Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy by Elton John in 1975. He also the creator of the Hard Rock Café logo. He died at the age of 78 in Los Angeles, California.18 February 2019 – Toni Myers - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toni_MyersCanadian film editor, writer, director, and producer, best known for her 3D IMAX work. Ms. Myers’s half-century in filmmaking included credits as writer, producer, narrator and editor as well as director. Much of that work involved documentaries that made use of Imax technology, which, with a bigger screen and enhanced sound, creates a more vivid viewing experience than a conventional movie offers. Ms. Myers directed three feature-length Imax films: “Space Station 3D” (2002), about the construction and occupation of the International Space Station; “Hubble 3D” (2010), which documented a 2009 shuttle flight to repair the Hubble telescope; and “A Beautiful Planet” (2016), which concentrated on images of Earth shot from space. All had marquee narrators — Tom Cruise for the first, Leonardo DiCaprio for the second, Jennifer Lawrence for the last. She explained in a 2010 interview with The Gazette of Montreal, “The sun rises and sets every 90 minutes in space, which means there wasn’t much time to capture the shots we asked them to get,”. She also said “There was no time or room to say: ‘Could you move to the right? It would make a better shot,’”. She died from cancer at the age of 76 in Toronto.Famous Birthdays16 February 1964 – Christopher Eccleston – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christopher_EcclestonEnglish actor. The recipient of an Emmy Award and two BAFTA Award nominations, Eccleston is best known for his work on television and in film – in particular for his collaborations with directors Danny Boyle and Michael Winterbottom and writers Peter Flannery, Jimmy McGovern and Russell T. Davies. Eccleston garnered attention for his film roles as Derek Bentley in Let Him Have It and David Stevens in Shallow Grave and for his television performances in Cracker and Hillsborough. His BAFTA-nominated performance as Nicky Hutchinson in the BBCminiseries Our Friends in the North (1996) established Eccleston as a household name in the UK; he followed the serial with film roles in Jude, eXistenZ, Gone in 60 Seconds, The Others, and 28 Days Later and television roles including the drama series Clocking Off and a second BAFTA-nominated performance as Messianic figure Stephen Baxter in the ITV drama serial The Second Coming. Eccleston garnered widespread attention and acclaim for portraying the ninth incarnation of the Doctor in the 2005 revival of the BBC science fiction series Doctor Who, becoming the first to play the role since 1996. He departed the role after a single series, winning a National Television Award and receiving Broadcasting Press Guild Award and BAFTA Cymru Award nominations for his performance. Eccleston has since appeared in the television series Heroes among other tv series and films including G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra, Thor: The Dark World and Legend. He won an International Emmy Award for his performance in an episode of the anthology series Accused. Onstage, Eccleston has played the title roles in productions of Hamlet and Macbeth as well as starring in productions of Miss Julie, A Doll's House and Antigone. He was born in Langworthy, Salford.17 February 1864 – Banjo Paterson – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Banjo_PatersonAndrew Barton "Banjo" Paterson, was an Australian bush poet, journalist and author. He wrote many ballads and poems about Australian life, focusing particularly on the rural and outback areas, including the district around Binalong,New South Wales, where he spent much of his childhood. Paterson's more notable poems include "Clancy of the Overflow" (1889), "The Man from Snowy River" (1890) and "Waltzing Matilda" (1895), regarded widely as Australia's unofficial national anthem. He was born in "Narrambla", near Orange, New South Wales.17 February 1934 – Barry Humphries - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barry_HumphriesAustralian comedian, actor, satirist, artist, and author. He is best known for writing and playing his on-stage and television alter egos Dame Edna Everage and Sir Les Patterson. He is also a film producer and script writer, a star of London's West End musical theatre, an award-winning writer, and an accomplished landscape painter. Humphries' characters have brought him international renown, and he also appeared in numerous stage productions, films, and television shows. Originally conceived as a dowdy Moonee Ponds housewife who caricatured Australian suburban complacency and insularity, Dame Edna Everage has evolved over four decades to become a satire of stardom – a gaudily dressed, acid-tongued, egomaniacal, internationally fêted Housewife "Gigastar". He was born in Kew, Melbourne, Victoria.Events of Interest17 February 1864 – H.L Hunley sunk a ship- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sinking_of_USS_Housatonic- https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H._L._Hunley_(submarine)#Attack_on_HousatonicH.L. Hunley or Hunley made her only attack against an enemy target on the night of February 17, 1864. The target was the USS Housatonic, a 1,240 long tons (1,260 t) wooden-hulled steam-powered sloop-of-war with 12 large cannons, which was stationed at the entrance to Charleston, about 5 miles (8.0 kilometres) offshore. Desperate to break the naval blockade of the city, Lieutenant George E. Dixon and a crew of seven volunteers successfully attacked Housatonic, ramming Hunley's only spar torpedo against the enemy's hull. The torpedo was detonated, sending Housatonic to the bottom in five minutes, along with five of her crewmen. Hunley did not survive the attack and sank, taking with her all eight members of her third crew, and was lost. The Sinking of USS Housatonic on 17 February 1864 during the American Civil War was an important turning point in naval warfare. H.L. Hunley became renowned as the first submarine to successfully sink an enemy vessel in combat, and was the direct progenitor of what would eventually become international submarine warfare, although the victory was Pyrrhic and short-lived, since the submarine did not survive the attack and was lost with all eight Confederate crewmen.17 February 1984 – Krull makes its way into theatres in Finland - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krull_(film)The film was released under Krull ja näkymätön vihollinen or Krull and the invisible enemy. Directed by Peter Yates, the feature starred Ken Marshall and Lysette Anthony, and here's the plot summary as provided by IMDB.com: "A prince and a fellowship of companions set out to rescue his bride from a fortress of alien invaders who have arrived on their home planet." Krull underwent a very expensive, harsh, and dangerous production process. The film's huge budget ballooned, mainly due to the designers having to make numerous alterations to the sets corresponding to the heavily evolving script. The film was a commercial failure upon release, and critical opinion has been mixed, both upon release and in retrospect. Numerous reviewers have highlighted its visual effects and soundtrack, while several critics have criticized its plot as being derivative and nonsensical. The film has gone on to achieve cult film status.17 February 1989 – Bill and Ted’s excellent adventure came into theatres. -https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_%26_Ted%27s_Excellent_Adventure#ReleaseThe flick premiered on this day in 1989, and it still enjoys a cult audience today ... so much so that a third installment is said to be in-the-works. Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure received generally positive reviews, and was a success at the box office, grossing $40.5 million against a $6.5 million budget. The picture had been planned for a 1988 release, and filming and production had completed on schedule. However, the original film distributor, DEG, fell into significant debt in late 1987, and by 1988 had filed for bankruptcy. At this point, the film was in post-production, and the director Stephen Henek attempted to show around the rough cut to other distributors. Henek said many of these companies were confused, asking him "Are there kids that really speak like this?" on seeing the film. However, the cut had an extremely popular reaction from a test audience of volunteers pulled from local malls, which led to a small bidding war from production companies to get the title.IntroArtist – Goblins from MarsSong Title – Super Mario - Overworld Theme (GFM Trap Remix)Song Link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-GNMe6kF0j0&index=4&list=PLHmTsVREU3Ar1AJWkimkl6Pux3R5PB-QJFollow us onFacebook- Page - https://www.facebook.com/NerdsAmalgamated/- Group - https://www.facebook.com/groups/440485136816406/Twitter - https://twitter.com/NAmalgamatedSpotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Nux69rftdBeeEXwD8GXrSiTunes - https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/top-shelf-nerds/id1347661094RSS - http://www.thatsnotcanonproductions.com/topshelfnerdspodcast?format=rssInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/nerds_amalgamated/General EnquiriesEmail - Nerds.Amalgamated@gmail.comRate & Review us on Podchaser - https://www.podchaser.com/podcasts/nerds-amalgamated-623195

Sometimes the most interesting dramas are the simplest - a single set, a few characters, a conflict. “Naturalistic” plays, as they are sometimes referred, were the result of a late 19th century movement in European theatre to enhance the realism of plays with an understanding of how heredity and environment can influence an individual. The most famous play to come out of this period is Swedish playwright August Strindberg’s Miss Julie. Set in the downstairs kitchen of an estate, it’s a three-character piece examining issues of sex and class. The title character’s the daughter of a count with an eye for the manor’s chauffeur, complicated by the presence of the manor cook who also happens to be the chauffeur’s wife-to-be. Playwright Patrick Marber (Closer, film’s Notes on a Scandal) adapted the play for British television in 1995 under the title After Miss Julie and a stage version premiered in 2003. It’s the version running now through March 3 at Sebastopol’s Main Stage West. Marber moved the time and setting of the play to post-WWII England, specifically to the night of the Labour Party’s landslide victory over Winston Churchill and the Conservative Party. The significant upheaval to Great Britain’s political and social system is reflected in the characters. Miss Julie (Illana Niernberger) is literally “to the manor born”, but that doesn’t stop her from slumming with the servants. John (Sam Coughlin) is the Lord of the Manor’s chauffeur who, while harboring a long love for Miss Julie, is to be married to Christine (Jennifer Coté), the manor cook. Miss Julie is used to getting what she wants, and that includes John. John wants something, too, and that is to “improve” his lot in life and Miss Julie can facilitate that. Christine wants a simple life with a husband with a pension and a family. Co-Directors/Scenic Designers Elizabeth Craven and David Lear elicit strong performances from the cast. Niernberger’s Julie is lost in a changing society, turning on a dime from entitled superior to groveling submissive. Coughlin’s John is the villain of the piece, desperate to be something other than he is at any cost, but destined to be no more than a (literally) bootlicking lackey. Coté’s Christine is the most aggrieved of the party, but she is willing to overlook - or forgive – John’s boorishness to ensure she gets what she wants. After Miss Julie is a classic love triangle told exceedingly well, though the question of how much “love” exists between any of them is up for debate. 'After Miss Julie' runs through March 3 at Main Stage West in Sebastopol. Thursday through Saturday evening performances are at 8pm. The Sunday matinee is at 5pm.

Here's your host, Dave Woodward Speaker 2:     00:17         [inaudible]. Everybody. Welcome back to funnel hacker radio. This is going to be one of my funnest podcasts. Uh, you know, my guests, you had the upgrade of hearing from her quite a few different times, but she has a new role and I can't wait to talk all about that. So first and foremost, Julie [inaudible] and welcome to the show. Thank you for having me. I am so excited to. I, I have coined a new term. Would wired in excitement, excitement level at the Dave Woodward level. Oh, you're too kind too. Kind of honestly. Then that would be the type of excitement I have right now for the opportunity. I want to introduce our newest partner to click funnels, Ms Dot Julie. Yes. I, um, I, I had been waiting for this day, I feel like for my whole life. Speaker 2:     01:06         So I want to make sure people understand what that means is a little background here. When we started clickfunnels four and a half years ago, uh, there was two cofounders, Russell Brunson and Todd Dickerson. We then brought on a third co founder, uh, Dylan Jones, who we later bought out. He was helping us primarily on the Ui side. And so todd and Russell Todd being the, uh, the whole tech guy behind the scenes who I don't know how he does what he does. I'm literally fascinated every single day. Anytime we're together, I'm like, todd, I don't get it. And I'm so glad I don't understand your magic because I would screw everything up. Russell, you guys already know because Russell is the marketing genius behind click funnels and a ton of other things. We then have four of the partners myself. I run all the business development opportunities, the top line revenue type of stuff. Speaker 2:     01:52         Uh, our CTO is Ryan Montgomery, helps todd managed a lot of things on his side. We then have a Brinko Peters who works on our side with all of our operations and things, and John Parks. You guys know who runs all of our traffic behind the scenes for the little Julie, has it been a year now? It seems like it's been about a year, a year, and Julie's been behind the scenes literally working magic that you guys can't even. I have still totally spellbound by how you pull off what you pull off. No one gets more done in a day than Julie. I don't know how in the world she gets it done. She's actually helping Russell right now in writing a track two secrets book. She has literally been the brains behind what we're going to roll out here. Actually you guys on this call is as our new waffle and how that's all coming together as far as our internal agency, what that means to you guys and more importantly, how you can actually start doing this kind of stuff in your own business and that Julie has her own multimillion dollar business, which basically are buying to bring her over to click funnels. Speaker 2:     02:53         And we'll talk a little bit about how that's all coming together. In addition to that, uh, Julie is probably the person you will ever meet. In fact, I was just with my family, seen Mary poppins and continue to think of Julie because that's what she's like in our craziness that we have over here. So she's the one who makes all the magic happen and I just wanted to make sure everyone, you guys were listening, understand our gratitude, our appreciation for one of the major things that she's done is allowed Russell to kind of step away from doing all the stuff that is great to get us to where we're at, but won't get us to where we're going. And without Julie, none of this would happen. So Julie, my gratitude to you, my appreciation for you and so excited for 2019. So with all that said, welcome again and I'm so glad that that's all we're going to cover. Speaker 2:     03:41         That's the start. That's the start. You know, it was so funny though, you know, watching, as you know, during the year when we were talking about kind of the org chart of clickfunnels and how Russell was in Russell at this point. Like you should be like seoing, not seoing and cmos and funnel building and copywriting, writing your own emails. It was crazy. It has been crazy. And again, if it wasn't for you stepping in, we'd still be in that same situation. Uh, so actually a little step back to last year about this time is when Steven went to go do his own thing. So Steven Larson was Russell's funnel builder and he and Russell were kind of tag teaming up, doing a lot of the stuff that really kind of got us to where we were for about two years. Russell and Steve were kind of tag teaming that. Speaker 2:     04:32         And as Steven left, it was one of those, it was kind of a, a weird mixed blessing. I love Stephen to death. He's become a dear friend and he's helped us grow, got us to where we were, but it was time for him to go spread his wings to grow his business and what he wanted to do. And so as he left it was then a matter of saying, oh my gosh, what in the world are we going to do? How are we going to prevent Russell from doing all this stuff that steven was doing and bringing in a team that would allow us to scale and we were struggling so much as far as trying to find the right fit you have to understand to. It's to be able to get into Russell's brain is, I don't know, it's more than just a padlock. It's kind of like one of those. Speaker 2:     05:16         It's kind of like the whole Laura Croft tomb raider type of thing where she's changing this little egg thing and it changes a million if it's shaped and there's four different keys and Julie's been able to do that and so Julie's dad had this magical key that's been able to basically work with Russell at a level that is allowed Russell to focus more on helping us grow the business and really taking her genius, which again, Julie's. I take a look at all the magic you've done in your own business. One of the things I was most impressed with was your ability to literally be able to replace yourself and so Julie had her own, again, create your laptop. Lifestyle is one of her create your laptop. Life is one of the businesses that she was doing. Again, a seven figure, two Comma Club, award winning business, crushing it, but she said, you know what guys, I really want to be involved with you guys. Speaker 2:     06:07         I want to find a way of helping you guys get to the next level which was beyond. I mean, again, Julie, I can't thank you enough for that because it was great for us to see how you came in and without expecting anything, just said, let me help and I think that's a huge. One of the main attributes that you carry is this ability of having such just massive passion and caring for other people. Most people just don't have that. Especially when they're running their own multi, multi seven figure business. It's easier to say, you know what? I got this. I'll do my own deal. You were able to say, you know, I'm going to put this on the back burner. I'm actually going to hire other people to replace me. Which really is what, how all this started with Russell because it was at that point where thought, all right, if Julie can do that, her business, how could she help Russell do that in our business? I want to kind of dive in. I've done enough talking. So how do you do all you that you do? Speaker 3:     07:00         Well, you know, it's so funny. As I was getting ready to like talk about this transition. I know a lot of people when I first came onto click funnels, you know, they weren't quite sure why I was doing that because it was like, well you have your own business over here. Like this is obviously not like a monetary monetary thing. And of course you know, there was part of that, but I honestly, I had this analogy of like ships that are like all going in the same direction and headed for the same promise land. And it was the SS click funnels which was like this huge ship, right? And then my little ship was like behind in its wake and we were serving the same customer base and we were both going in the same direction. And I, and my business was really flourishing in the wake of click funnels and I know Russell has talked about how cool that is when a business can like create other businesses. Speaker 3:     07:46         But for me it was like I recognized how much the success of clickfunnels was really. There was so much of that attributed to the success of my business too. And so it was like, it was a no brainer. It was like, of course I want to get on the SS click funnels and help that business succeed because a rising tide lifts all the boats. Right. And so for me, um, it was more important for me to be on the team that was going to make the most impact than it was for me to just be like the captain of my own ship. Do you know what I mean? And so for me, I'd much rather be, you know, like on the team first mate, then captain of my own little Shit, you know, Speaker 2:     08:26         oh the great thing is your little ship was growing at a very fast pace. So it's not like it was this tiny little thing. And that's really for us, when we were able to bring that in and acquire that. So some of the things that you're going to see rolling out is this whole idea as far as create your laptop life and with that there are so many things you guys are going to see happen in 2019. I wish I could go into all of them. One of them is going to be associated with this whole concept of freelancers. Now we just rolled out a funnel Rolodex and we've got a bunch of changes were making to that between now and funnel hacking live, but that's just a small little, tiny team of what freelancers can do. Julie, you've had this magic ability to really help build agencies and to obviously you have your own agency. You've now, I've taught other people how to build their agencies and you've. You've really given the keys to the kingdom to a lot of these freelancers to truly provide them a create your own laptop life. So you don't mind. Could you spend just a few minutes kind of talking about what is a freelancer, how to. How can freelancers fit into the ecosystem of click funnels and what is, why would someone want to do that? Speaker 3:     09:33         Well, so I, I will. I will die on my sword when I say that. If you want to get started in online business, the easiest way to really start is to offer done for you services to start because you don't need a huge following and you're essentially selling time. Right? And so like you don't have to have anything created and so I have helped a lot of more women than men, but men to jump into the online space through the done for you services and you know you could get started with copy with social media or with funnel building and funnel building could actually pay a lot more than some of the other online done for you services. And so it was such an easy a marriage to put those two things together because not only could you make money quickly, not only did you not need a product, but you were helping other business owners make money through funnels and on top of it, you could also get affiliate commissions as you fold. Speaker 3:     10:28         Click funnels and the process, and so as I saw these, you know, a lot of moms would start coming to me, I want to make three to $5,000 a month. I was like, this is how you got to do it. And so that's where I started and then as I grew my agency, I started to teach people how to grow their agency as well, how to hire, how to project manage when you're building funnels and running ads for people as well. And even if you decide someday to not fully scale your agency and you want to go into coaching, consulting course, creation, any other business, you will now have the skillset as that you needed as an agency owner to build any kind of business you want. So it's like at this one, two punch, make money, build the skills at build the foundation for whatever your legacy is going to be. And so that's essentially what create your laptop life is all about, is like build that foundation that no one can take away from you no matter what you decide to do. Speaker 2:     11:21         To me, that's the part I am so excited about because a lot of people are trying to do, again, this is probably gonna be posting the first week or so of, of 2019 and there's so many people out there right now her saying, you know what? I want 2019 to be a unique year for me. I want this to be like the best year ever. And you know, we hear a lot about affiliate marketing and I'm obviously we run a large affiliate program over here, but I think the cool part is this whole idea as far as creature, laptop, life, and the ability to then really control your destiny without having to have a product which so many times people spend literally years building a product that never gets launched. And that's one of the things I was so excited about is this. So first of all, if you guys go check out, create your laptop life.com, uh, Julie's face of that. Speaker 2:     12:09         She's done an amazing job building it. In addition to that, she's a, has an amazing team and I want to kind of talk right now, Julie, if you don't mind about this whole idea as far as project managing, it's been one, again, one of your many, many talents is I don't know how you do all that. You do, especially when it comes to project management. You're managing not only our internal agency, which we'll talk about a few minutes, but also you're managing a Russell's books. Uh, our two Comma Club coaching program. You're one of our coaches. You're managing that, uh, and providing massive content. So if you don't mind, could you help people understand when we start talking about project management, what does that really mean and what is the financial opportunity available to someone who wants to get involved in something like that? Speaker 3:     12:52         Yeah. Well, so project management, it is a, when you can find a good project manager, man, don't let them go. Like it's a unique, it's a unique skill set and there's project management as a service. Like I know people whose entire business, that's all they do is they go in and they do project management and pr and really, you know, I remember when Brandon and pool and came to click funnels and they were doing the CEO slop it stuff really at scale. When we talk about scaling and we talk about like how to, how to make your, you know, double your revenue in 10 x your revenue. We're really talking about managing people because any business, I don't care what kind of business it is, the way to scale is through people and the only way to scale with people is to have project management in place where you can manage the teams that people so that you're all moving in the same direction. Like you know, like the choreographed dances you see at the mall. What are those things called where people all of a sudden bust out into like choreography mobs. Yes. Thank you. Flash mobs. Right? It's like at its very core scaling your business is about learning how to manage people and projects. Right? Like that's it. And I know I know it, you know, that doesn't sound quite as sexy as like 10 x your revenue, but like that's really what it is. And I remember brandon saying I aspirin and I was like, Speaker 3:     14:10         what do you do all day? And he's like, well really what I do is I'm thinking about project initiatives and the people and the project managers that we're going to need a place like because I have to keep building out the team. And I was like, it's so interesting that that's really at scale with what businesses are doing and that's exactly what Russell is doing and that's why I've kind of taken on that marketing role so he can really start to cast that vision and start to create those initiatives, those people, teams that then I can manage to help bring all the initiatives to fruition. Speaker 2:     14:41         I love it. And I've talked a lot about who, not how. I know Russell's done podcast on, I believe you've done a podcast on who, not how. And so there's a lot of resources out there, but if you don't mind, because one of the things we were talking about in our, one of our meetings we have just recently was this whole idea as far as this waffle and there was a ton of fomo associated with the waffle. We were actually at waffle me up a hector owns the company, gave us all these necklaces that had a waffle on it. We then reflect with Ryan with regard to some of the things that he was doing from a Dev standpoint and creating a teams. And I want it, if you don't mind, let's kind of segue from, as a project manager, what does this whole waffle, how does it work in an internal agency and what are the pieces that a person would need a, if they're going to look at project management, what are the pieces they need to add to that waffle? Speaker 3:     15:29         Yeah. Okay. So, um, the idea of the waffles, like it's a square. And so, um, basically if you imagine a square and you think of a funnel building agency, right? We have the people that you would have would be like a funnel builder, a designer, a copywriter, um, maybe a video person and a content person, right? So imagine those five people down that first column. Speaker 3:     15:52         Okay. And those are your core team. Now, as you start to expand out, you need to create a second team and the third team and a fourth team. So you can, as you imagine that waffle, you are essentially creating a second column, a third, a fourth, and you're hiring another funnel builder, copywriter, designer, video content versus the idea is once you have that waffle all filled out at the very top, the very top row is project managers. So whenever a team is working and they need to know what to do, they're going to look up right and they're going to report to their project manager. But in any kind of agency, especially a funnel building one where there is like a skill level involved, they also need to understand how to do it. They need to have someone to report to as to how to design well or how to copy well. Speaker 3:     16:40         And so if you look left on the waffle, right, you go over and you're able to basically ask the head funnel builder, the head designer, the head copywriter, how to make the coffee better. And so instead of an org chart, which is very flat and two dimensional, where there's just one person reporting the reality is that as a project, as a project manager in the agency, let's say Jake who is a designer, he's going to report to me for the, what of the design, but he may report to a head a head designer, he's actually our head designer. But if there were another one, he would report to that person asking about how his design is working and it just creates this three dimensional reality, which is real life, right? Because, um, that's just how agencies work. Speaker 2:     17:25         I love it. So if you could take back, take a step back to last year. As Julie came in, she basically acted as not only a project manager, she was also a content creator. She was also part acting partly in as our funnel building side of things as well. And so as you guys were first starting your business, realize you're going to find yourself, if you were to look at this tic Tac, toe board waffle type of thing, you're going to, your name may be in a whole bunch of different places all over. It was a Julie Board for them for a while there, but the the object now is to start replacing yourself. And so we brought in, Julie brought her in as a part of her click funnels now and one of her main responsibilities here is to replace Russell from the marketing standpoint. So she's now our vp of marketing. Speaker 2:     18:09         She's heading up all of our marketing. We've created our own internal agency, so she's hired a. We now have a yourself who basically is our chief project manager soon we'll replace that as well, but she thought I was going to be training all the other project managers that we bring them in in internal agency. It was all that really was brought in primarily just to build out our own funnels. We really didn't start this with the intention of bringing others on. Now we're actually, and we'll talk about some other stuff we're gonna be doing later, but realized that first column was you were heading up the project management. We had nick, who is our chief funnel builder. Jake is our chief designer. Karen's or chief copywriter. I'm, who am I missing here? Dan is our chief, a videographer, and then Russell and I were sharing the role of chief content creators. Speaker 2:     18:55         He and I were doing that together. Um, in the content creation side. We both became the bottlenecks and that's one of the things when you're looking at this whole agency model to realize you, you've got to try to break through bottlenecks as much as you can. And as we were looking at the scale of this, especially as you start one of the, you run across two different types of bottlenecks. One is what to do and that's as Julie mentioned, again, that's where you would be looking to your project manager. The other thing is how to do it and what if you don't know exactly how and really it's not just how it's at the way in which the owner wants it done. And I know that was probably one of the biggest things and there's a lot of people who can write copy. There's a lot of people who can do design or funnel building, but it has to be done the way that the owner or the project manager wants for that system. Speaker 2:     19:48         And I think that's what you've just done such a great job over the course of this last year, is helping communicate that in a way that, um, how do I say this in a nice. In a way that was kind of your, the kind one of the group here. Uh, I, I definitely am not, that's not one of my skillsets. I'm much more direct, but a, Julia, we were able to do this in a nurturing way. And I think it's real important when you start looking at scaling a business and scaling your company to realize that you've got to, as you're one of the main role is you as a ceo or whatever role you want to put yourself in. Anytime you're managing people, you're also a coach. And Julie, you've done such an amazing job because you have your own coaching program as well and I think because you were used to doing that type of coaching as you came into our team, you nurtured and coach people through that in a way that we go to a very fast paced as do you, but you were able to nurture in a way that brought a lot of congruency as well as a just more of a family friendly type of environment. Speaker 2:     20:54         And again, I think it's an important thing if you don't mind, if you could spend just a few minutes far as teaching people, how do you actually coach someone and help them develop the skill set while still holding people's feet to the fire to get stuff done? Speaker 3:     21:07         Yeah, it's a fine. It's a fine line because I think, you know, I always am. I always remind myself it was something I think, you know, probably I learned in kindergarten this idea of like the compliment sandwich and it's not necessarily like a platitude compliment, but it's like whenever you're about to go disseminate, don't forget to like express your gratitude, your encouragement, whatever it happens to be. So like say something that like shows that you recognize that they're working hard, right? Then provide whatever constructive feedback you need to provide and then wrap up with some sort of encouragement. So be like, Hey, you know, I saw that you were working on this funnel. I know you've been working hard. Thank you for putting in the extra hours. Here are the changes that really needs to be made. Right? And then you could go through and then at the end you can say, you know, thanks. Speaker 3:     21:55         Um, I know that this has been a big project and I really appreciate you acting so quickly or whatever. It's just like validating all as much as you possibly can where you see people attempting to do a good job because people like crave that. And then that way the constructive feedback is always so much easier to handle because they know that you're seeing them. So to me that's like, I mean, it's just like they call it a compliment sandwich was not really a compliment. It's more out of that. It's just, that's always the way I try to coach people whenever possible. Speaker 2:     22:28         I love that analogy and I think it's important for those you guys who are listening realize as the entrepreneur, the people you're hiring, they may not be motivated by the same type of things that you are and they're not going to be as driven as you are. And I know that, uh, in my earlier career it was one of the biggest mistakes I made was thinking I was bringing on a whole bunch of entrepreneurs who are going to be as excited as I was. They were going to stay as late as I was. They were all invested and understand that when you start looking at careers, there's typically three different steps to that. Jobs or positions. And typically a person when they first started working there literally are just looking for a job. It's a paycheck. That's all it is. And your responsibility as the business owner is if you can help paint a picture for a career you're going to find all of a sudden, once, once a person goes from job to career, their mindset changes a ton. Speaker 2:     23:19         And we're starting to see that already as we look at, um, those people who are our head designers, copywriters, all that kind stuff. When they start seeing themselves as a career where they're building out other people, you will see their whole attitude towards their work changes a ton. And then when you can see when a person can go from a career to a calling, life changes completely and understand a calling doesn't need to be a person that they're the CEO or anything else. The janitor can have a calling where they understand that what they do matters. And we just, uh, gave out to all of our click funnels, employees, sweatshirts and sweatpants. And on the back of the sweatshirt bay says what we do matters. Because it really, really does. And I hoping that as you start whoever, as you're listening to this and you're looking to build out a company, you're gonna find, typically you go from a a product to a business and from a business to a company, and as you start really building out a company, you start to having to lay out a career path for those people who you're working with and if you can get from career to calling it, lily is the biggest game changer you're ever going to see in your business. Speaker 2:     24:24         Because now people are connected. They feel vested. You can tie this to culture. You can tie it to a whole bunch of different things, but realize, as Julian mentioned there, that complimentary sandwich type of approach is so critical to people because there's a lot of people who the dollar isn't as important as validation and knowing that the work matters and knowing. So as an entrepreneur, typically you, you're going to be a high d, You're going to have a high monetary drive, but that may not be and most likely isn't gonna be the type of people you're hiring. So you have to realize that you're not going to motivate them the same way as you yourself might be motivated. Speaker 3:     25:01         And I got the understanding, the more that the CEO or, or even even the c suite level, whoever's up at the top can recognize that the ship is moving because of the work these people are doing is just. I mean like Jake. So funny put a meme about facebook of like a designer and it was so funny because you know, Jake, nick, Karen, I know and you know, maybe it comes from the fact that I used to do those roles as well. They work harder than. I mean like they just work so dang hard. It is unbelievable. And they are like actually the ones like birthing whatever asset. Right. And so like recognizing how much skill that takes just I don't know, wherever you can and whether you have an in house team or whether you have contractors, just recognizing their talent and their skill goes such a long way. Such a long way. Speaker 2:     25:58         No, I appreciate you're mentioned as far as recognizing contractors. I think too often that isn't appreciated. I'm sure you've had in your experience, if you don't mind, to kind of talk about when a contractor doesn't feel appreciated, what typically happens and how can you actually show gratitude to a contractor? Speaker 3:     26:17         Yeah. Well it was a big mistake that can happen for contractors. Freelancers is that they can, um, they can be treated like the monkey who just implements and this is partly the fault of the contractor if they haven't positioned themselves as like, Hey, I'm going to strategically help you and I'm not just the implementation montcalm also like the artists trying to help you figure this out. Um, but then from the, from the employer side, understanding that when you bring a contractor, they're not an employee. They are, you are bringing them on in a, in a, in essence to consult and to be the boss of whatever project it is. Right? And so, like sometimes like employers will treat contractors like employees and it just, it just hurts the relationship when recognizing if you're going to go hire a funnel builder, you're essentially saying, you're better at this than I am. I want you to come in and I want you to actually lead the charge on this. Um, you'll find that contractors will perform better if you do, you know, if you, if you, if you see it that way rather than just like the monkey who's just gonna like do the dirty jobs that you don't want to do. Speaker 2:     27:22         No, I love that. So how do you, how do you work best with a contractor in that role and help them feel connected and have some ownership to what they're doing without having to give them actual ownership of the project they're working on? Speaker 3:     27:35         Yeah. Well, I think the very first question you have to ask yourself is, is this really a contractor job or am I trying to fill a contractor, an employee position with a contractor? Because I will, I will gander a guess that a lot of people who are scaling their business need to start building an in house agency like clickfunnels does. Um, and they really need people who are on the team. If that's not you, if you're not in that place. And it really is a, you know, a sectioned off projects that a contractor would do. I would just say that the more you can bang out the scope of the better and just remember contractors feed on testimonials so you can do an amazing thing about making the contractor's work better by being willing to offer a testimonial and a case study because for a lot of them that's going to be like, hey, if this goes well, like I will shout it from the rooftops, I'll tell everyone I know that will help them perform better. It will also give them a nonmonetary when that they will need it to make their business grow. Speaker 2:     28:36         Awesome. So kind of a loaded question here and that is, can contractors become good employees? Speaker 3:     28:42         Um, I think in some cases, yes, I think it all boils down to what they're motivated by. If you meet a contractor who is, has a high economic drive, right? Who has a high drive for freedom, they're not going to be a good employee, they just won't. I will tell you that the two employees that I have now originally were contractors. Um, and both of them actually are gonna be coming and working with click funnels as well. They both were not just driven by monetary, they were freelancing because they wanted a laptop life, but they really, really enjoyed, again, being a part of a team, being part of a bigger mission. Certainty matters to both of them. And if you have someone who likes certainty are gonna, like the steady paycheck, they're going to like not having the hustle. Um, and so, so in that case, when I brought them on as employees, they didn't see it as like, they were like, yes, we're ready to be like on your team like that. Um, and so in some cases it works out, but they had both been working for me for about two years before we, before we did that. So we kind of, you know, the honeymoon was over, right? Like we all knew what we were getting into. Speaker 2:     29:54         I, it take off here in a few minutes. I want to kind of wrap up with a couple of things, most importantly, how people can get ahold of you and some of the things that are coming over with youtube click funnels. So you had mentioned as far as we, we have the opportunity of having two amazing people being brought over to the team as we're so great. Your laptop life.com is one of the things. So if you don't mind, tell people what that is and why, why somebody would want to go there and what they're going to get. Speaker 3:     30:20         Yeah. Alright. So, so much is changing but it's going to be amazing. It's going to be so, so create your laptop. Life is basically a membership community for people who want to start service based businesses. So um, I would probably say about 60 to 70 percent of the membership. It's not a thousand people right now. Our funnel building agencies, digital marketer. So if you are interested, that is a great, great community to get hooked in. There's some great content. I go live once a week. I answer your questions and that has been running for three years and it is amazing community, so that is coming over. That will be, I don't know how it's all going to like unfold that I know that it's only going to get better hooked up to the SS click funnels, so that's remaining, um, the second thing that I do, which is going to become an official partner brand click funnels stamp his funnel, gorgeous, which is our premium more feminine, but we also have some funnel handsome in there to a design for heart centered female entrepreneurs who want something that's gorgeous and beautiful. So that's exciting. Um, and then most of my other contact is really going to get worked into the fabric of click funnels. So if you're interested in the two Comma Club x coaching program, um, any of the content that's going to be coming in 2019 is going to be all, all pushed through there. So I will be found in the funnel hacker community. I'm at clickfunnels. That's where the bulk of my content will be going. Speaker 2:     31:50         Starting January first. Awesome. And she'll be speaking at funnel hacking live so you can go on stage. They're also to get a lot more. Julie, I highly recommend you check out her podcast. So let's talk a little about your podcast. So right now we have this podcast. You guys are listening to funnel hacker radio. We have a marketing secrets, which is just russell talking about his own thing. So obviously for those of you listening to this one, I typically bring other people on like a bread Giuliani multiple times a will bring other people into fight outside feedback and content. I do send my own, uh, thoughts and things here. But do we have to help people understand what your podcast is, why they should go there and how they actually get more of your podcast as well? Speaker 3:     32:32         Yeah. So create your laptop life.com when you go to that website. If you just go to forward slash podcast, you'll see my podcast, the, your laptop life podcast is literally about laptop life living. And what that means is when you are working on from home on your laptop, most of the time I'm talking about people who are in the freelance market, um, but people who are building a life and building a business that is the nontraditional business. So I talk a ton about marketing online business. I talked about productivity and some balance stuff because you know, when you're not in a traditional office, there's a lot of things that happen when you're trying to balance that work life balance. So all of that stuff. And a huge dose of funnels and marketing are over overact career, laptop, lifestyle. Speaker 2:     33:19         Alright? So take checkout, create your laptop life.com. Check out her podcast. Uh, you'll see our funnel hacking live. If you don't have your ticket, by all means. I don't know why you haven't bought it yet or not. I can live.com please. Last thing I want is for us to sell out like we always do. And then people are saying, I didn't get my ticket yet to go get your ticket. You don't want to Miss Julie speaking from stage. He's going to be crushing it as always. Uh, Julie, anything else before we wrap things up here? No. You gotta hit out pretty quick. Speaker 3:     33:43         Yeah. No, I'm just, I'm just so excited for this new chapter. I'm excited for what together we can. We can do. I mean the one funnel away challenge was probably the best example I could see of what happens when you put heads together and you put all those skillsets together. You have russell with the strategic marketing genius that he is, um, my skill set which is really systematic teaching I would say.

Is that a death mask you're wearing or did you just get some micro-blading done? Either way, it looks scabby!   Miss Julie has returned to you and boy does she has some piping hot takes on Valentine's Day, human torture, and RuPaul's Drag Race! Does she have one on Star Wars? Yes, the old one because of Carrie Fisher and no other one.   There is also a very busy mouse you're going to have to deal with and that's just the way it is, pal.

We're taking ourselves back to the 19th century (specifically its gender roles) with August Strindberg's corked wine of a 'masterpiece' MISS JULIE! Thrill as the Tiemstra Bros. figure out how many different ways we can say misogyny, and struggle to figure out whether this film works as a deconstruction of...itself?

Kino besöker Göteborgs filmfestival och sänder direkt från Radiohuset på Hisingen. Vi umgås med Filip och Fredrik, får regitips av Liv Ullman och träffar dokumentärfilmaren Joshua Oppenheimer som gjort en uppföljare till sin epokgörande film The Act of Killing. The Act of Killing beskrev de bestialiska morden på misstänkta kommunister i Indonesien i mitten av sextiotalet, iscensatta i teaterliknande tablåer av förövarna själva. Nu är Joshua Oppenheimer alltså tillbaka med en variant på samma tema, men den här gången med offren i fokus - i The Look of Silence. Komikerna Filip Hammar och Fredrik Wikingsson medverkar på festivalen med filmen Trevligt folk - om konsten att lösa integrationsproblem med bandyklubbor. För Saman Bakhtiari berättar de om hur de ser på begreppet loudness - hur de bestämde sig för att använda sitt kändisskap kombinerat med en osannolik idé, i arbetet med att förändra världen, eller åtminstone Borlänge. Kinos reporter Emma Engström berättar om filmbranschens försök att analysera publikens behov och kraven på samtida releaser av filmer på biograf och på andra plattformar. Svenska filminstitutet har precis släppt en rapport som undersöker saken, intervju med Torkel Ståhl från sfi. Liv Ullman berättar för Kinos reporter Mia Gerdin om varför hon tycker att det är så viktigt att låta en skådespelare få komma till punkt, något hon tillämpat i regiarbetet med sin film Miss Julie som visas på festivalen. En film som bygger på Strindbergs pjäs och med Jessica Chastain från Interstellar i rollen som Fröken Julie. Och så har Fredrik Wadström fördjupat sig i festivalens Europatema och berättar bland annat om filmen Waiting for August om en frånvarande sjubarnsmamma, gjord av den rumänsk-belgiska regissören Theodora Ana Mihai. Programledare: Saman Bakhtiari Producent: Nina Asarnoj
