Former Miss Wisconsin Danika Tramburg joins the JayTime podcast to share how important getting involved in college is essential to your future career growth. She shares how her current marketing career was sparked by a round-table event that happened during college. You must put yourself out there to employers but by doing so, you are growing mentally, physically, and emotionally.    Networking always has its benefits and by being intentional during community events, you can shine in different ways. Danika explains that being involved in other industries also gives her an edge of staying busy and creative. She got her feet wet in real estate and now can hopefully unlock her next phase of her career by continuing to make passive income.    Please share this episode with a friend, colleague, or family member who could benefit by being motivated to get involved in that new venture they have been waiting to do!   Our socials are: Instagram: Jaytimepod Facebook- JayTime Twitter- Jaytimepod Questions?

Getting ready for state? Here's the ongoing list I created after years competing at Miss Wisconsin along with all the must-haves, tricks and tips I learned along the way.

Darius & Priscilla talk to Melissa Young about her life experiences, President Trump and the State of our political landscape. 

One of the first things you need to do when starting a non-profit, business, social impact initiative, or anything new is determine how you’re going to put it into the world. Which means, how are you going to brand it? What tone are you using? What color scheme matches the vibe? What’s the best communication style to use for which social media platform? Tianna Vanderhei served as Miss Wisconsin 2018, is a former TV news reporter, podcast host, coffee addict, and overall boss babe. Throughout all of the hats she has worn in her life, she has developed an expertise in social media, marketing, and communications. I was so grateful to sit down with her to discuss the dos and don’ts of social media marketing, her method of where to start when developing a new branding strategy, how she was able to market herself when getting new sponsors for the Miss Wisconsin Scholarship Organization, and so much more.  I am beyond thrilled to have her as our resident branding and social media expert - and I know you will be too after hearing today’s episode!

Her legacy begins in her home as she's trained her three cherubs to develop a vision for kindness, teaching them to look daily for something kind: What someone didSomething they sawSomething kind someone did for themYou will be motivated to present yourself as a "vessel of kindness" on a regular basis, showing off the kindness and grace of God as you do so. I love Nicole and you will, too.Kindness advocate Nicole J Phillips is a champion for using kindness to overcome life's difficulties. From spending childhood Saturdays in a prison visiting her mom’s husband, to experiencing the joy that comes with forgiveness, to fighting breast cancer with kindness, Nicole shares the transformation that happened in her own life when she made a career out of writing about Kindness– and living life courageously kind! Nicole spreads the message of the healing power of kindness as host of “The Kindness Podcast”, through her weekly column, “Kindness is Contagious”, which runs in newspapers in North Dakota and Minnesota and as a regular guest on the Hallmark Channel’s “Home & Family” show.

Alex Wehrley (@AlexWehrley) is a dear friend who has been in a content creator for a long time. She started out reporting in Illinois before moving to LA where she hosted for AfterBuzz TV—which is how I got to know her. From there she's hosted for E! News Now, ABC.com red carpets, FOX, Yahoo!. In 2015, she got the chance to host Miss USA, which was a full circle moment given that she'd competed as Miss Wisconsin years prior. But she wanted to shift her focus and started utilizing her hosting skills within the entrepreneur and business space. That's how she created her personal brand Empowerista, which also lead to a host position on Business Rockstars. In this episode, Alex is gracious enough to share the tactics she's learned and applied as well as highlighting some of the tough decisions she's needed to make. We talk about the need for women to have a strong role model in their life, something that Alex was lucky to have thanks to her mom. And we discuss patience and what it means to have control especially in the context of Covid-19 and quarantine. Of course, we go in depth about how to be confident on camera and so much more! Alex is a wealth of knowledge and I had a blast chatting with her because I learned so much. I know you will too. So tune in and hear what she has to say. And for more info, be sure to check out her book Confidently On Camera which is available to order at http://confidentlyoncamera.com. Please be sure to comment with any thoughts or questions you may have, or just write how awesome Alex is since it's true but can never be understated. Or hit me up on social media @PhilSvitek. I'd love to hear from you!

At the age of 13, Annie Jorgensen began competing in pageantry, winning the title of Miss Wisconsin's Outstanding Teen 2011 on her first attempt. She went on to serve as Miss High School America 2013 before attending the University of Georgia for school where she received a Bachelor's Degree in Journalism and Communication.

She grew up watching the iconic Miss America competition on television, wanting to compete on that stage someday. In June, 2016 that vision became a reality when she won the job of Miss Wisconsin 2016. That opportunity provided her with the chance to advance to the national stage that fall, but the crowns didn't come without their fair share of setbacks and above all else, courage.

Meet Emma. Her name will be all over billboards not just for her extensive hustle in the pageant world on influence on social media but for her message of fully owning who you are and total appreciation for who SHE is. Her self love is resonating her platform as a curvier contestant while she is working to break barriers and erase the stigma of what size a pageant contestant can be. She represented her home state of Wisconsin on the national stage 4 times and is competing again for the title of Miss Earth USA 2020 this summer in Las Vegas. In this episode, Emma shares how her pageant journey looks from her viewpoint, the countless rejections she had to overcome and why she continues to compete despite sometimes being the only contestant with a little more curves. This episode is a goodie as we talk about body image, self love and breaking barriers.

Are you confident enough to know what to say in a crucial moment? On this episode of Brandstorm, our guest will help you speak and be heard. Julie Loeding is a certified corporate trainer of “Crucial Conversations” and a management and marketing instructor at Waukesha County Technical College (WCTC), as well as a former Miss Wisconsin. What’s a Crucial Conversation? A crucial conversation can happen at the workplace or in your personal life and evokes strong emotions, has high stakes and involves opposing opinions. It is also the name of a book, training program, and certification created by Vital Smarts, a global leadership training provider out of Utah. Its researchers spent 35 years studying and identifying the best performers within organizations and how they effectively handled different situations. That wisdom has been parlayed into a bestselling book and 16-hour training program. The Anatomy of a Crucial Conversation In most organizations, Crucial Conversations start with senior leadership and then filter down through the entire company. Every organization has problems, but Julie says the most successful ones talk about them. According to Julie, you must separate emotions from the facts and start with heart. What do want for yourself, the other person, your relationship or company? It forces you to take the focus off yourself. Time, place and safety are also important for conversations. Julie admits her favorite place is in the car where there is no opportunity to escape, but if you are in a meeting and see someone is shutting down, smiling or getting angry, stop and address that emotion. Ask them what they are feeling. Be tentative in your actions and ask for feedback. For example, “I’ve told you some of my concerns. Now I’d like to hear from you.” At that point, be quiet and listen. You can also try priming, which involves asking a question in different ways. You can solve problems faster when the conversations are open and end with an action plan. Lastly, Julie says there are conversations that can end up in a downward spiral, where emotions derail the conversation. In these cases, stop and step out of that conversation. Take a timeout. Acknowledge that things are not going well and perhaps start over or apologize or try contrasting by pointing out your original intent versus what just happened. Why Crucial Conversations? Julie endorses Crucial Conversations because of its real-life scenarios, online components, videos and tools to help organizations and individuals work through difficult situations. The 16 hours can be done intensely over a couple of days or over several weeks depending on the organization’s schedule. Costs are typically determined by the number of attendees and the trainers’ fees.

STAGE | FILM | CABARET PERFORMER | Our guest this week is ALEXANDRA BILLINGS. She has won multiple awards for her work such as: "After Dark Award for Best Actress in a Comedy," in Charles Busch’s "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom." "After Dark Award for Best Actress" playing Margot Channing in "Applause" for Healthworks Theatre at The Apollo, "New York MAC Hanson Award, for New Cabaret Artist," "After Dark Award for Outstanding Cabaret Artist of the Year," Her character "Shante" at the Baton Show Lounge won her the titles of: "Miss Wisconsin," "Miss New York," "Miss Chicago," "Miss Illinois," and she was the first Chicago performer in the history of the pageants' to win the coveted "Miss Florida"contest. In 2003, Alexandra filmed her first Television Movie for ABC- TV: "Romy and Michelle - In The Beginning." She then made Television history by being the first Transgendered Female to play a Transgendered Female character on Television. Soon after, she was cast as the "Nasty Transsexual with a heart of gold" on the now defunct show "Karen Sisco." In 2004, she filmed an episode of "Grey’s Anatomy" which won a "GLAAD Award for Outstanding Episode." She’s also appeared on "E.R." and filmed the pilot "Nurses" for ABC playing opposite one of her childhood idols, Lynn Redgrave. In 2007 she completed her first film "Socket" directed by her old Chicago pal Sean Abley and completed a pilot for F/X directed by gorgeous Ryan Murphy and co-starring Joseph Fiennes and Blythe Danner called "Pretty/Handsome." As an interesting side note, it is thought that almost every role played by her on stage, has been the only time they’ve ever been recreated by a Transgendered actress in the history of theatre.
