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.

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.

Remove from the heat, add salt and pepper to taste and minced parsley. Set aside.Macaroni and cheese:Boil elbow macaroni in well salted water and cook until just al dente. 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). I like to let this mixture sit over low heat for a few minutes, stirring frequently, so that the pasta can soak up some of the cheese. To serve: Transfer to a serving bLove This Episode ?

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.
