This week, NYCB Music Director Andrew Litton leads us on a promenade through the Modest Mussorgsky score to Alexei Ratmansky's 2014 ballet Pictures at an Exhibition. Beginning with a little background on the composer's short but complicated life, colored by contemporary critiques of his "disregard" for musical conventions, Litton is joined by Piano Soloist Stephen Gosling as he demonstrates the ways in which Mussorgsky captured the subjects of a beloved artists' paintings in remarkably challenging piano pieces. (23:31) Edited by Emilie Silvestri Music: Symphony in Three Movements (1945) by Igor Stravinsky Pictures at an Exhibition (1874) by Modest Mussorgsky

What's in a look, a moment? What is it about the quiet slices of introspection; the spark in a group; the crackle in a duo; or the wild, exaggerated - yet compelling - performance of one actor? The answer, tied to so many variables and factors, from all decades of cinema, across big screens and small, is quixotically and brilliantly subjective.  Sit back and listen to us discuss and debate Heat, Mad Men, The Sopranos, Killing Eve, Game of Thrones, A Bridge Too Far, Lawrence of Arabia, Catch Me If You Can, Walk the Line and so much more. Spanish acting great Luis Tosar also gets more than one mention. Check out Lindsay's band Angry Saints by following this link.

Of course, you should never lie, but you can put the most positive spin on the truth as possible. Rather than worry about how potential clients are going to judge him and his product, Kristine shows Dennis how to use language to teach clients how they should be evaluating what he has to offer. Also in this episode, Kristine suggests a plan of action that would enable Dennis to raise the money he needs in the time frame that he has to pay a company to produce the first physical sets of his board game before the end of this year. ------------------------   Kristine's free online workshop: Creating Cash When Times Are Tough – watch the video or listen to the audio or read the transcript.   Host: Kristine Oller   Guest: Dennis Hensley / biz: Lifecast / game: You Don't Know My Life / podcast: Dennis Anyone?   Mentioned: Zoom H4N microphone + memory card + power cord   Sponsor: AbundanceBound.com   Music: Pictures of the Floating World

Today I’m taking to all the Cashflow Tigers out there – and I’m offering you a roadmap that lets you clearly see what I think is the shortest and simplest path between you and even more cash. (Cashflow Tigers are folks who are generating consistent monthly income with their biz but are now focused on expanding their marketing and/or add a new offering to their biz.) Tigers often get excited about expanding their business by adding offers and options and courses and new product lines... but increasing cash flow requires being strategic, staying focused, and building one new thing at a time. ------------------------ Kristine's free online workshop: Creating Cash When Times Are Tough – watch the video or listen to the audio or read the transcript.

Today I’m taking to all of the Cashflow Cats out there – and I’m offering you a roadmap that lets you clearly see what I think is the shortest and simplest path between you and your cash. (Cashflow Cats are folks who have made at least one sale to a customer or client and who are now focused on packaging your offer for maximum profit and hitting your first monthly income goal for at least three months in a row.) For many Cats, the sticking point is that they are really good at what they do but their income isn’t steady and it certainly doesn’t reflect their level of education, expertise, and/or effort. They have very happy and satisfied clients – but they just don’t have enough of them.

(Cashflow Kittens are folks who either do not have their biz idea yet, or they have an idea but they have yet to make a sale to a customer or client. I was a kitten once. Everyone currently in business today was a kitten once.) I'll detail the four major stepping stones on a Kitten's path and I'll share the two reasons Kitten's stumble during their journey – why they get stuck and become unable to move forward, and why they wander off the path and get a bit lost. ------------------------   Kristine's free online workshop: Creating Cash When Times Are Tough – watch the video or listen to the audio or read the transcript.   Host: Kristine Oller   Music: Pictures of the Floating World

The juggling act of maintaining boundaries with clients while still satisfying them makes him feel a bit awkward sometimes, but it's important for him – and for you – to be reminded that that feeling doesn't necessarily mean you are doing something wrong or that what you are doing isn't working.   In this episode, Kristine encourages Dennis to step up and "do business" – to make clearly defined transactions, to set a sustainable schedule, and to tell himself more empowering stories.   ------------------------   Kristine's free online workshop: Creating Cash When Times Are Tough – watch the video or listen to the audio or read the transcript.    Host: Kristine Oller   Guest: Dennis Hensley / biz: Lifecast / game: You Don't Know My Life / podcast: Dennis Anyone?   Sponsor: Abundance Bound   Music: Pictures of the Floating World

Today we’re going to wrap up our conversation about making room for what you want. In the previous episode, we discussed how your schedule is within your sphere of influence and while it can change by chance, it can also be changed by choice – by you proactively deciding to shift it – maybe quickly, maybe slowly – to better support you in achieving your cash flow goals. My dear friend and colleague, Dana Middleton graciously accepted my invitation to give us a candid behind-the-scenes look at how she used her schedule as a tool to support the evolution of both her business as a coach and her art as a writer of the most delightful books for kids. ------------------------   Kristine's free online workshop: Creating Cash When Times Are Tough – watch the video or listen to the audio or read the transcript.   Host: Kristine Oller   Guest: Dana Middleton coaching / her books   Music: Pictures of the Floating World

Today we’re going to talk about making room for what you want. Sometimes shifting towards a vision is a slow process, but slow doesn’t mean impossible. And sometimes things can even go faster than you thought was possible. Either way, first you must decide what you want, and then you must commit to taking baby steps and bold moves towards making room for it to come into existence. I'm going to share with you some real-life examples of that particular process in action – making room for what you want – focusing on a mighty yet often overlooked tool within your sphere of influence: your schedule.   ----------------   Kristine's free online workshop: Creating Cash When Times Are Tough – watch the video or listen to the audio or read the transcript.   Host: Kristine Oller   Music: Pictures of the Floating World  

Today we are going to talk about the illusion of control. Trying to control anything or anyone is exhausting and fruitless – and always will be. But if control is not an option, how do you create a texture of peace and security in your life?  That’s such a good question – especially during these tumultuous times.  I will give you my thoughts on that, which include a closer look at five different ways that grasping for control creates major mental energy leaks.       ------------------------   Kristine's free online workshop: Creating Cash When Times Are Tough – watch the video or listen to the audio or read the transcript.    Host: Kristine Oller   Music: Pictures of the Floating World

CONTENT NOTE: This episode was recorded prior to the 2020 pandemic.   ------------------------   Meet Dennis, a writer/podcaster/TV host who has worked in the industry in L.A. for several decades. His little biz is Lifecast – he creates audio time-capsules for people at milestone moments in their life. (His side hustle also has a side hustle – he and a partner are bringing a board game to market based on the unique type of questions Dennis asks in his interviews.)   In this episode, Kristine and Dennis examine the rocky road he traveled on his way to starting his side hustle and the power of the stories we choose to tell ourselves.     ------------------------   Kristine's free online workshop: Creating Cash When Times Are Tough – watch the video or listen to the audio or read the transcript.    Host: Kristine Oller   Guest: Dennis Hensley / biz: Lifecast / game: You Don't Know My Life / podcast: Dennis Anyone?   Mentioned: coach Barbara Deutsch / The Actors Fund free financial workshops / Side Hustle School podcast   Sponsor: AbundanceBound.com   Music: Pictures of the Floating World

A few good marketing ideas applied consistently is all that is needed for him – and for you – to start attracting some clients and generating some cash.   In this episode, Kristine helps Dennis refine some ideas for marketing and social media.

Those feelings are totally normal and will arise each time you venture outside of your comfort zone.  The goal, however, is to not let those feelings stop you from taking action. An effective way to stoke your courage is to remain aware and appreciative of all the things that are going well and that are unfolding smoothly.   In this episode, Kristine and Dennis discuss facing fears and prioritizing opportunities.  They explore some of the possible avenues and funnel people that could supply a flow of clients to his little biz, and examine the importance of not complicating the path between "you and your cash."     ------------------------   Kristine's free online workshop: Creating Cash When Times Are Tough – watch the video or listen to the audio or read the transcript.    Host: Kristine Oller   Guest: Dennis Hensley / biz: Lifecast / game: You Don't Know My Life / podcast: Dennis Anyone?   Mentioned: Side Hustle School / book: Feel The Fear And Do It Anyway       Sponsor: AbundanceBound.com   Music: Pictures of the Floating World

Today we're going to talk about time. Currently we are living in a very strange time. We can't really project forward and make predictions because we have no idea what the immediate future holds and we can't really use "how things worked in the past" as a secure reference point... so planning is not that useful or comforting of a tool right now. But what can you do instead? Well, I'm sharing four guidelines that will help you make the best use of your time during this "time out of time." Plus, I recommend one of my favorite books. And we discuss robots. ------------------------ Kristine's free online workshop: Creating Cash When Times Are Tough. You can watch the video or listen to the audio or read the transcript.

In this week’s episode, David is joined by Peruvian guitarist Jorge Caballero for a discussion on guitar repertoire and how he manages to perform marathon arrangements such as Kazuhito Yamashita’s version of ‘Pictures at an Exhibition.’ On the topic of Mussorgsky, Jorge shares how he began working on this piece when he was a child - just 12 years old! In addition, Jorge discusses his own arrangements of J.S. Bach’s Partitias and why he still chooses to play the Chaconne exactly like Andrés Segovia, almost finger-for-finger. About the artist: Jorge Caballero is a winner of the prestigious Naumburg Award, an honor that is comparable to the Pulitzer Prize for musicians. He is widely known for his incredible performances of orchestral pieces by composers such as Mussorgsky, Dvorak, and Korsakov. Caballero is a native of Peru where he grew up in a musical family, his mother being a famous singer in his home country. Music: Pictures at an Exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky (Jorge Caballero)

Quite often, as a side hustler, there can be a discrepancy between how you feel about your progress and your actual progress. That's why it is so very helpful to bring into your life a few trusted people who can give you supportive yet accurate feedback on how you are doing in your side hustle (and in your creative career). In this episode, Kristine shares four tools that Kim – and you – can utilize whenever you're confronted with the anxiety and discomfort of "Aaaargh – this is a new thing and I don't know how to do it." ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com   Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Kimberly Griffin / biz: Kim Coaches Sponsor: AbundanceBound.com Music: Pictures of the Floating World

Keep in mind that the antidote to your anxiety about income is action – even if that action is taking even one, clear baby step towards your goal. (Even if that first baby step is simply to "pick a goal to move towards.") Worry and anxiety holds your energy in a perpetual spin cycle, but action interrupts that cycle and shifts your energy out of it. In this episode you'll hear Kristine give Dennis several different ways that he – and you – can shift your energy and thought patterns.  Plus we discuss the possibilities around bringing other interviewers into his Lifecast biz. ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Dennis Hensley / biz: Lifecast / game: You Don't Know My Life / podcast: Dennis Anyone?

Like many creatives, Dennis is a true idea person who loves to be creating and innovating. He's getting a bit better about switching into business mode but, as you'll hear in this episode, that's not where his brain naturally wants to go. To prevent him from fumbling some excellent money generating opportunities, Kristine continues to steer him back to thinking strategically when it comes to business activities like fundraising, licensing deals, interview prep, negotiating, and copyrighting. ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Dennis Hensley / biz: Lifecast / game: You Don't Know My Life / podcast: Dennis Anyone?

In this episode, you'll hear Kim express that working with more ease and freedom and flow can take some getting used to. The good news for Kim – and for you – is that you can retrain your brain to be comfortable with allowing all the good stuff in – allowing yourself to celebrate, receive compliments, generate profits, and relax and rejuvenate. It's that kind of good stuff that gives you the juice to maintain and enjoy the "hustle" of your side hustle so you can fully realize your goals and dreams. ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com   Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Kimberly Griffin / biz: Kim Coaches Sponsor: AbundanceBound.com Music: Pictures of the Floating World

Most everyone says they want more money... but far too many side hustlers are afraid or uncomfortable to even talk about it or ask for it. But settling for a muddy exchange of money feels weird and will never serve you well. You want to know your number – whether it's the precise amount you are getting paid, the precise amount you owe someone, or the precise amount you need to raise. In this episode, you'll hear Dennis and Kristine dive into five different money situations in which he will benefit greatly by stepping up and committing to doing business. ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com   Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Dennis Hensley / biz: Lifecast / game: You Don't Know My Life / podcast: Dennis Anyone?

As a smart, talented creative you are totally capable of doing lots of things easily. But easy is different than doable. The question is do you have the energy to do it? Can you spare the bandwidth to do it? Can you create the space in which to do it? Those are the questions I encourage you to start asking – especially around all of the easy stuff.  In this episode, Kristine addresses some of Joanna's concerns about over-stuffing her schedule, missing opportunities, interviewing for new day jobs, and not giving her all at work. ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Joanna Ke / film: Protectress / script biz: Script Masters Sponsor: AbundanceBound.com Music: Pictures of the Floating World

Like many side hustlers, Kim must ditch the fantasy of what she thinks her life or career or side hustle should look like or how it should function. In this episode, Kim shares some revelations she's had about carving out time to pursue her writing while juggling the responsibilities and the quote-unquote "rules" of being a mom, wife, daughter, friend, coach, and actress. Kim's goal of being a showrunner will only be sustainable if she's is able to handle the demands of being a showrunner – those are the muscles she is building now, day by day. ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com   Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Kimberly Griffin / biz: Kim Coaches Sponsor: AbundanceBound.com Music: Pictures of the Floating World

We rarely ever see anyone else going through their early, ugly stages of something. That's why this episode is one of the most valuable ones in this series. Because Kim courageously and generously lets you witness her discomfort and vulnerability as she shares her first website videos with me and gets my feedback on them. It's important to remember that unless you shoot your first video, you can never shoot your best video. Without shooting this set of videos, Kim and Kristine would never have been able to have this useful conversation about Kim's branding and self-judgement. ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com   Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Kimberly Griffin / biz: Kim Coaches Sponsor: AbundanceBound.com Music: Pictures of the Floating World  

Sometimes your choices – even your choice to build a side hustle – will make other people uncomfortable. And that's okay. As long as you are not doing something intentionally harmful to them, their discomfort is not a problem you are responsible to fix. In this episode, you'll hear several examples of Kim choosing to embrace ideas and interactions that make her feel temporarily uncomfortable rather than trying to evade the discomfort. Her willingness to be uncomfortable in order to grow and build her creative and business muscles is one of her greatest strengths. ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com   Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Kimberly Griffin / biz: Kim Coaches Sponsor: AbundanceBound.com Mentioned: Kristine's free weekly planning chart / Pretty Funny Women stand-up comedy class   Music: Pictures of the Floating World

Like many side hustlers, Kim can tell herself stories that make her feel discouraged about the likely "non-perfect outcome" of a project even before she starts it.  Also like many side hustlers, she is experiencing some of the ways can life can interrupt plans – in ways that are actually good, as well as not-so-good.

Dennis is an idea machine who needs to be reminded that, to see results, he must actually select a few good ideas and execute them fully (maintaining a steady balance between idea generation and idea implementation). A few good marketing ideas applied consistently is all that is needed for him – and for you – to start attracting some clients and generating some cash. In this episode, Kristine helps Dennis refine some ideas for marketing and social media. They also discuss how he can set himself up to eventually transition from a one-man-operation to someone leading a team. ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com   Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Dennis Hensley / biz: Lifecast / game: You Don't Know My Life / podcast: Dennis Anyone?

Meet Dennis, a writer/podcaster/TV host who has worked in the industry in L.A. for several decades. His little biz is Lifecast – he creates audio time-capsules for people at milestone moments in their life. (His side hustle also has a side hustle – he and a partner are bringing a board game to market based on the unique type of questions Dennis asks in his interviews.) In this episode, Kristine and Dennis examine the rocky road he traveled on his way to starting his side hustle and the power of the stories we choose to tell ourselves.

Kim's initial vision for her side biz (coaching actors who have "just graduated" from high school, under grad, or grad school) is a bit diffuse, with both online and offline components.  Like many side hustlers, where Kim ends up after several weeks of tweaking and refining her structure, pricing, and deliverables, will be a bit different than where she begins. In this episode, Kristine offers guidance to Kim – and to you – on creating a pricing structure, shifting your perspective around what clients are actually paying for, and an alternative to offering free consultations. ------------------------ More info about Kristine, plus additional resources and support (to help you start and grow a side hustle), are available at: CashflowForCreatives.com Host: Kristine Oller Participant: Kimberly Griffin Sponsor: AbundanceBound.com Music: Pictures of the Floating World

It's been one of those week. This is going to be a somewhat short episode. I have a unique reason, my cloud went away at the most in opportune time. For those of you who don't know what I'm talking about. The cloud it the term used for using Internet (or online) services. Like Google Doc, Spotify, Dropbox and countless other services. When you do quite a bit of work in the cloud. Well, when its not there, you get nothing done. So I encourage everyone who works in the cloud. Always have a local backup. In this week's episode, "In The News", I take a look at the Kindle, and there's a Blog Oklahoma update.

It is really such a nice day outside I don't know why I'm in here recording a podcast. Let's go outside. In The News: Some of the latest from the Oklahoma blog-o-sphere and the main street media Links mentioned in this episode: Music: Pictures:

When I started doing some preliminary work last night for this week's podcast there was a few inches of snow on the ground. Now as I'm recording this, I look out the home office window, and I hardly see any snow except for a few shady spots. It's amazing how Oklahoma's weather works. Really nice day Friday, blizzard Saturday, nice day Sunday. But that is the old running gag here in the state, isn't it. If you don't like the weather wait a minute. That was very much true this weekend wasn't it. In The News: Some of the latest from the Oklahoma blog-o-sphere and the main street media Links mentioned in this episode: Music: Pictures:

As I record this podcast it's 32 degrees outside. How many of you are so ready for spring? There are many things you can do to get ready for spring, one of which is to start planning your garden. Here at the home office we've gotten a start our vegetable garden by planting some seeds in a starter tray. In fact that tray is about six feet away from me right now. We put it here in the office so we can keep an eye on it better, to make sure it gets plenty of water, and to make sure the cat stays out of it. In a few short weeks we'll see them sprout, and in a few weeks more after that we will be able to transfer them outside. Growing your own vegetables is a very worthwhile thing to do. And not to mention home grown tomatoes are the absolute best. Not only will it save you a little grocery money around harvest time; you'll get plenty of exercise working in your garden.

Spring has shown me something unique in our yard, an almost perfect circle. The cause of this near perfect circle, a dog named Widget. Widget resides in our backyard on a twenty foot leash. And just like a famous cartoon dog chasing after an equally famous cartoon rooster, Widget is always discovering the end of his leash. He has manged to dig a trench in our backyard in a near perfect circle. At his parameter Widget is ever vigilant, barking at anyone walking down the alley or even a block away. And God forbid a cat should wander to with in visual range. In the News: Some of the latest headlines from the Oklahoma blog-o-sphere and (Bum Bum Buuuum) the main stream media.
