A Storytelling and Persuasive Communication Coach and Trainer, she has taught thousands of executives, entrepreneurs and professionals across the world. Before launching her business, she spent 15 years working as a Radio DJ and Music Supervisor for hit TV shows and films, where she gained a powerful understanding of how to communicate in a way that creates connection, trust, engagement and loyalty. Let's get started... In this conversation with Marsha Shandur, I learned: 00:00 Intro 02:45 Should Canada become a part of the USA? 04:00 All borders should be open to everyone. 04:40 From telling a story on stage, to coaching the storytellers for the next events. 06:20 The storytelling history in her family. 08:25 Ethically persuasive storytelling. 13:15 The internal monologue of potential clients for service providers. 14:35 As a service provider you don't want people that you can't help. 17:20 As an entrepreneur finding the balance between doing good work and paying rent. 19:45 True Stories Toronto falls in that bucket of free and is considered more like art. 21:35 The origin story of True Stories Toronto. 23:25 How storytelling and connection can give you hope in turbulent times. 24:50 Lack of empathy and shame are the roots of most evil in the world. 26:05 Building a relationship with people. 50% of the sales happen in the follow-up, and 80% of the people only follow up once. 27:20 When you are telling a story, you are making a movie inside your listener's brain. What did it look like? How did you feel? 30:05 The chemical effects of storytelling in your brain. 30:30 A story example of how to sell something technical. 32:05 Where do you find stories to share? 36:25 Using storytelling in videos on LinkedIn vs TikTok. 40:35 Done is better than perfect. 42:35 Bigger quality will also bring more quality people. 46:10 Learning how to be confident on camera. 47:40 Niching is important to attract the people that really want to work with you, and video is really helpful for niching. 48:50 The marketing trick that works, even when you know and recognize the techniques. 52:05 A rising tide lifts all boats. 52:55 One of the badass things you can do in sales is to promote someone else. 55:25 If masterminds were a standard in every industry, the world would be a different place. 58:50 It's not the job of your partner or friends to know everything about your business.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if you unplugged from your life and did a hard reset? My guest did just that and shares how it changed her trajectory and led to a beautiful new chapter.I'm thrilled to have Kristin Wollam on the show. Kristin began her career as a music supervisor in Los Angeles working on feature films such as “The Blind Side”, “Sex and The City 2”, and Tom Fords' “A Single Man”.

As an integral member of the team, she discovered, signed, and shaped artists for music placements in film and TV. She worked alongside major television networks, editors, and producers to create music that fit to specified project needs.In the spring of 2013, Kristin returned to her music supervision roots, becoming a Daytime Emmy Award-nominated music supervisor for her 4+ years of work overseeing the music department for the daytime talk show, The Talk, at leading broadcasting network, CBS. In 2015, Kristin also cultivated and began teaching the Music Supervision in Film & TV course at Belmont University's west coast location.Since leaving Los Angeles in 2017, Kristin has found a new home in Chicago and a new passion in financial planning for individuals, families, and small business-owners. While focusing on entertainment industry strategies and socially responsible investment planning at Morgan Stanley.

Before draining the pasta, reserve a cup of the pasta water and set it aside (see note). While the pasta is cooking, prepare the cheese sauce:In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter and sprinkle in flour. Whisk together for a minute. While whisking, pour in Guinness, milk, half and half, salt, pepper, and mustard. Bring it to a simmer and cook, whisking frequently, until it thickens slightly (several minutes). Add cream cheese and 2½ cups grated cheese and stir/whisk until completely smooth. Add drained, cooked pasta and stir to combine. Add the remaining 1 cup grated cheddar and stir until melted (this will help achieve a stringy/cheese-pull texture).

As I was grabbing my notes from a table on the stage during last weekend's TAXI Road Rally, I overheard a musician talking with a music supervisor who had just finished speaking on a panel. The TAXI member said, “Scan my QR code and it will take you to my linktr.ee that has links to my bio, Soundcloud, Instagram, Facebook, my videos, and a bunch of other stuff.” Without missing a beat, the music supervisor asked, “Why don't you have a website?” Why wouldn't you put all of your music, photos, bio, videos, and social media all in one place? Why make it harder than it needs to be for the people who want to know about you to learn everything they can about you? So, I invited Joseph Longo from Bandzoogle to join us for this week's episode! He was my guest about a year ago, and he was so good at explaining all of this that I called his boss the next day to tell him how what a great job Joseph did! Win a FREE Thirty-Minute Website Consultation with Joseph! I've also asked Joseph if he would give away a consulting session with one of our viewers who either needs feedback on their existing website or wants advice on what their website should feature if they choose to build one.
