Podcasts about ridgemont high

A few months ago, I was chatting with my sister and out of nowhere she asked me if I had done a Valley Girl podcast yet. She loves this movie and it has come up a few times over the years. I responded that I hadn't gotten to it yet and that I would get to it soon. I had actually tried to record it many years ago, in my first year or so of podcast, but I don't think I handled it well, and never released it. I felt a little guilty and so I decided that I needed to get a Valley Girl episode into the feed. I start the show talking about what it was like not having agency in what videos were rented in your house. Being the youngest, I was a little resentful at the time, but now I realize how much richer my life is because of all the movies I was exposed to that I never would have chosen. One of those is Valley Girl, which my sister rented for herself, but I was never one to shy away from new entertainment and I watched it as well multiple times. After I finished telling my story I move onto the film itself. I discuss how a Zappa song turned into a lawsuit that didn't derail a film that has often been described as Vall-sploitation. Other films in this genre were released, but non were as well-made and well-acted as this one. Then I talk about production, the case, the music, the reception, and much more. I am not sure why Valley Girl isn't more popular. Maybe its because its a little rough around the edges, but I find that charming. It, and movies lie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High, helped to establish tropes that other 80s films would borrow, and it deserves to be watched and celebrated.

Did you think Script Apart was going to let the 30th anniversary of one of the most iconic teen films ever just pass us by? In the words of Cher Horowitz – “as if.” On today's episode, we're joined by Amy Heckerling, the writer-director who, three decades ago this summer, gave Jane Austen's Emma a Beverly Hills makeover to remember. You may also know her for Fast Times at Ridgemont High, Look Who's Talking and Vamps, but Clueless is the film that she's best-known for – a Nineties treasure trove of high school hilarity that's still beloved today. So much so that a musical adaptation, also written by Amy, just opened in London's West End. In the conversation you're about to hear, Amy tells Al about the spirit of kindness that runs through the movie. We get into the TV pilot for Clueless – then titled No Worries – that was turned down across Hollywood, and discuss what was going on in Amy's life at the time of writing Clueless. The story of the film is one of a sunny optimist named Cher who's ready to take on the world. For Amy, though, that was hardly the case as she wrote the hit comedy. “I was feeling very depressed, which is how most stories start,” she teased in an interview in 2016. In this episode, she tells us why. Support for this episode comes from Final Draft.Script Apart is hosted by Al Horner and produced by Kamil Dymek.

In this episode, Anna and Derek discuss lightning in a bottle casting, anti-John Hughes depictions of teen life, and much more during their chat of the seminal flick Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982).Connect with '80s Movie Montage on Facebook, Bluesky or Instagram! It's the same handle for all three... @80smontagepod.Anna Keizer and Derek Dehanke are the co-hosts of ‘80s Movie Montage. The idea for the podcast came when they realized just how much they talk – a lot – when watching films from their favorite cinematic era. Their wedding theme was “a light nod to the ‘80s,” so there's that, too. Both hail from the Midwest but have called Los Angeles home for several years now. Anna is a writer who received her B.A. in Film/Video from Columbia College Chicago and M.A. in Film Studies from Chapman University. Her dark comedy short She Had It Coming was an Official Selection of 25 film festivals with several awards won for it among them. Derek is an attorney who also likes movies. It is a point of pride that most of their podcast episodes are longer than the movies they cover.We'd love to hear from you! Send us a text message.

You know the accent. You’ve heard it exaggerated in The Californians on SNL, slurred by Sean Penn in Fast Times at Ridgemont High, and sung by Moon Unit Zappa in the most famous monologue in the San Fernando Valley. The California accent has been parodied in the media for decades. California is the largest state by population, making it one of the most diverse in the nation. So, is there truly an accent that unites all its residents? Today on AirTalk, we are talking about the California accent. Has living in California impacted your accent? Give us a call 866-893-5722 or email atcomments@laist.com. Joining us to discuss is Norma Mendoza-Denton, professor of anthropology at UCLA and creator of the Los Angeles Speaks project. Professor Mendoza-Denton is seeking participants who grew up & currently live in all parts of Los Angeles County to help with the study. Participants must be over 18 and speak English as a dominant language (began learning before age 8 or at 3rd grade).

Feeling old yet, Slackers?When we were young, there were so many movie stars—and not just the Brat Pack. Sean Penn, Kiefer Sutherland, and Elisabeth Shue come to mind. Fast forward to today, and these former young heartthrobs and beloved teen idols have become Hollywood royalty, winning some of the industry's most prestigious awards, including Golden Globes, Academy Awards, Emmys, and Tonys. Movies like TAPS and Fast Times at Ridgemont High boast numerous award winners, including multiple Oscar wins.While Sean Penn received recognition fairly early in his career, actors like Christian Slater and Jennifer Jason Leigh didn't receive any significant award buzz until 30+ years into their careers. Though I'm an avowed Ferris Bueller hater, it was still pretty cool to see Alan Ruck (Cameron) receive nominations for his role on Succession.Although I don't typically pay much attention to award shows, I'm rooting for Demi Moore to finally win the big one for her role in The Substance.We dive into how these stars have evolved—not just in their careers, but in their artistry—transforming from iconic teen roles into multi-award-winning performances. We explore their journeys from being the faces of an era to becoming respected actors and performers across different genres. It's fascinating to see these once-young stars redefine what it means to age gracefully in Hollywood while staying relevant, admired, and celebrated.

In episode 389 of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive into the fascinating world of movies that the late, great film critic Roger Ebert despised but they personally adored. From cult classics like Fast Times at Ridgemont High and The Usual Suspects to offbeat gems like Freddy Got Fingered and Spice World, they explore why these films resonate with them despite Ebert's critiques. They also reflect on the value of developing a critical eye when choosing which movie critics to trust. Tim the Nerd then shifts gears to discuss a major shakeup in the media landscape: Universal Comcast's decision to sell off the majority of its cable networks, including USA Network and MSNBC. What does this mean for the future of television? Tim shares his insights and speculations. Finally, he examines the controversy surrounding Joe Scarborough's meeting with Donald Trump, despite Scarborough's long history of vocal criticism against the former president. Don't miss this thought-provoking and entertaining discussion! As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Click here to try it out!Welcome back to Bad Dads Film Review! Today, we're cruising back to the 1980s with a deep dive into Fast Times at Ridgemont High, a seminal teen comedy that has left an indelible mark on the genre. Directed by Amy Heckerling and released in 1982, this film not only launched several careers but also captured the quintessential teen experience with humor, honesty, and a bit of rebellion.Based on Cameron Crowe's book, which he wrote after going undercover at a San Diego high school, Fast Times at Ridgemont High presents a slice-of-life look at the trials and tribulations of teenage life. The film explores the lives of several students including the iconic Jeff Spicoli (Sean Penn), a perpetually stoned surfer, the ambitious Stacy Hamilton (Jennifer Jason Leigh), and her older brother, Brad (Judge Reinhold), as they navigate the complexities of adolescence.From dating disasters to job frustrations, the film covers a wide range of teen experiences. Stacy's explorations of love and relationships, Spicoli's clashes with the strict Mr. Hand (Ray Walston), and Brad's journey toward independence paint a vivid picture of the ups and downs of teenage life. The narrative is episodic, shifting focus among characters and their individual stories, which are both humorous and poignant.Why It Stands OutAuthentic Dialogue and Situations: The film shines in its depiction of teenage dialogue and situations, feeling both authentic and relatable. It captures the awkwardness, excitement, and confusion of high school without resorting to cliché.Breakout Performances: Sean Penn's portrayal of Spicoli is legendary, providing a source of comic relief and becoming a cultural icon. The performances by a young ensemble cast, including future stars like Nicolas Cage and Forest Whitaker, are dynamic and memorable.Cultural Impact: The film tackled teen issues with a frankness that was rare for its time, addressing topics like sex, drugs, and identity with a directness that has influenced countless teen comedies that followed.Fast Times at Ridgemont High explores the theme of adolescence as a pivotal time for self-discovery and personal growth. Each character's journey through the school year reflects the broader search for identity that defines the teenage experience.Join us as we revisit the hallways of Ridgemont High, exploring its iconic characters and memorable scenes. Whether it's your first time watching or a beloved rewatch, Fast Times promises both laughs and a thoughtful reflection on the highs and lows of teenage life.

Sean Penn is a powerhouse film performer capable of intensely moving work, who has gone from strength to strength during a colorful film career, and who has drawn much media attention for his stormy private life and political viewpoints. Sean Justin Penn was born in Los Angeles, California, the second son of actress Eileen Ryan (née Annucci) and director, actor, and writer Leo Penn. His brother was actor Chris Penn. His father was from a Lithuanian Jewish/Russian Jewish family, and his mother is of half-Italian and half Irish descent. Penn first appeared in roles as strong-headed or unruly youths such as the military cadet defending his academy against closure in Taps (1981), then as fast-talking surfer stoner Jeff Spicoli in Fast Times at Ridgemont High (1982). Fans and critics were enthused about his obvious talent and he next contributed a stellar performance alongside Timothy Hutton in the Cold War spy thriller The Falcon and the Snowman (1985), followed by a teaming with icy Christopher Walken in the chilling At Close Range (1986). The youthful Sean then paired up with his then wife, pop diva Madonna in the woeful, and painful, Shanghai Surprise (1986), which was savaged by the critics, but Sean bounced back with a great job as a hot-headed young cop in Colors (1988), gave another searing performance as a US soldier in Vietnam committing atrocities in Casualties of War (1989) and appeared alongside Robert De Niro in the uneven comedy We're No Angels (1989). However, the 1990s was the decade in which Sean really got noticed by critics as a mature, versatile and accomplished actor, with a string of dynamic performances in first-class films. Almost unrecognisable with frizzy hair and thin rimmed glasses, Penn was simply brilliant as corrupt lawyer David Kleinfeld in the Brian De Palma gangster movie Carlito's Way (1993) and he was still in trouble with authority as a Death Row inmate pleading with a caring nun to save his life in Dead Man Walking (1995), for which he received his first Oscar nomination. Sean then played the brother of wealthy Michael Douglas, involving him in a mind-snapping scheme in The Game (1997) and also landed the lead role of Sgt. Eddie Walsh in the star-studded anti-war film The Thin Red Line (1998), before finishing the 1990s playing an offbeat jazz musician (and scoring another Oscar nomination) in Sweet and Lowdown (1999). The gifted and versatile Sean had also moved into directing, with the quirky but interesting The Indian Runner (1991), about two brothers with vastly opposing views on life, and in 1995 he directed Jack Nicholson in The Crossing Guard (1995). Both films received overall positive reviews from critics. Moving into the new century, Sean remained busy in front of the cameras with even more outstanding work: a mentally disabled father fighting for custody of his seven-year-old daughter (and receiving a third Oscar nomination) for I Am Sam (2001); an anguished father seeking revenge for his daughter's murder in the gut-wrenching Clint Eastwood-directed Mystic River (2003) (for which he won the Oscar as Best Actor); a mortally ill college professor in 21 Grams (2003) and a possessed businessman in The Assassination of Richard Nixon (2004).

Frame Fatale es un podcast de películas ¿no canónicas? hecho con amor por Santiago Calori, Axel Kuschevatzky y Sebastián Rotstein. En el centésimo décimo episodio nos ocupamos de Picardías estudiantiles (Fast Times at Ridgemont High, 1982) de Amy Heckerling.

Alright, folks, buckle up! Today's podcast episode is brought to you by the one, the only, Hawk—who, let's be honest, may need an intervention for his microphone. It's loose again, people. If this podcast had a production budget, that mic would have gone the way of Trump's dietitian—a distant memory! After struggling to find a topic that wasn't dark or depressing, Hawk did the sensible thing: he outsourced his job to the internet. Why spend time planning your show when you can let TikTok and Patreon comments drive your content? The man's living the dream, folks!And what did his highly intellectual audience request? The riveting tale of how Hawk adopted Tanner, a Chihuahua-dachshund who picked him like a desperate kid picking his parents at a divorce hearing. Some woman who looked like she wandered off Real Housewives of Beverly Hills tried to snatch Tanner away, but the dog sprinted into Hawk's lap. That's right—straight-up rejected reality TV for a life of podcasting mediocrity. Enter Lola, another dog from the same shelter because clearly, Hawk's building a rescue dog cinematic universe here.But hold on, Hawk veered into weather reports that make CNN look calm. And, as any responsible adult would, he followed up storm devastation with tales of totaling cars as a teenager. You know, like a public service announcement but with more vehicular damage. Kids, don't fall asleep at the wheel, or worse—you'll end up paddled by your Mormon vice principal. Just trust me, Hawk's high school life was like a bad crossover between Fast & Furious and Fast Times at Ridgemont High… except with fewer cool stunts and more cringe-worthy life lessons.

Oscar-Winning Writer/Director Cameron Crowe (Jerry Maguire, Almost Famous, Fast Times at Ridgemont High) talks with Says Who Sports about a celebrated career that was launched when he became the youngest writer ever for Rolling Stone as a teenager and traveled with the biggest rock bands in the world, including the Allman Brothers Band and Led Zeppelin, wrote the best-selling novel Fast Times at Ridgemont High and later wrote the screenplay for the movie, wrote and directed such films as Say Anything, Jerry Maguire and Almost Famous, won an Academy Award for Best Original Screenplay, won a Grammy Award, was nominated for a Tony Award, directed acclaimed music documentaries about Pearl Jam and David Crosby, created the Showtime series Roadies, and much more! Crowe's directorial debut as a teenager, the long-lost and newly released Heartbreakers Beach Party, about the legendary Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers and the hijinks and high-energy surrounding the making of their third album, Long After Dark, was banned by MTV after one airing in the summer of 1983 due to what the network generally described as inappropriate reckless content. Crowe and producing partner Greg Mariotti, along with Petty's daughter, Adria, have now brought the film to theaters and streaming in all its early Petty-era glory. Crowe shares special stories and anecdotes about the making of the movie, including Petty's self-professed connection to Jeff Spicoli, Crowe's iconic lovable stoner character played by Sean Penn in Fast Times. Crowe also shares memories from his time on the road with the Allman Brothers Band in the early Seventies and recalls the magic of what it felt like to be standing onstage watching the band play four hour shows, and his gratitude for guitarist Dickey Betts for trusting him and opening the "band access" door to Crowe.    Crowe, who is working on a film with/about legendary singer/songwriter Joni Mitchell, shares nuggets about his friendship with Mitchell, including the profound impact her music had on a young Crowe growing up in a household where rock music was essentially off-limits, and the wisdom he has gained from Mitchell via their conversations. Crowe discusses the making of Fast Times at Ridgemont High, including battles with the studio to release the film and the unexpected and mind-blowing crowd reaction to the movie in a theater on Opening Weekend. Crowe pays much respect to director Amy Heckerling, who championed Fast Times and led the way for directors including an up-and-coming John Hughes in the making of teen films in that era. Crowe also talks about Penn's immense impact on the film, including witnessing Penn's supreme confidence and skill as a young actor and his unique approach to playing the role of Spicoli. Crowe shares special memories of the making of Jerry Maguire, including humorous moments on the set with sports agent mentor Leigh Steinberg, his respect for and friendship with former NFL quarterback Drew Bledsoe, who inspired Crowe in his creation of the fictional character that played the quarterback and prospective top NFL draft pick in the movie, and the awe-inspiring skills of actor Tom Cruise, who played the title character and whom Crowe describes as committed in the strongest way to understanding and respecting the roles of all members of the movie-making team and to helping Crowe realize his vision for the film. Crowe also discusses much about Almost Famous, including the influence on the movie of those nights he spent as a teenager watching from the stage as the Allman Brothers Band played marathon shows.

We talk about the movie with that pool scene!

Matt Kittle filling in for Simon Conway. Friday's second hour.

In hour one, for any delusional Dolphins fan actually hoping for a Tannehill reunion, there appears to be a better option for the former Fins QB. Tua makes it clear = he wants to play Saturday in preseason game number 2. Plus, Hoch reminds everyone of his love for Fast Times at Ridgemont High. Then, Mike Cugno joins the show and reveals his anxiety levels are at an all time high knowing he'll be driving Bokamper and Goldie to Tampa for a preseason game.

(00:00-27:32) – Query & Company opens on a Tuesday with Jake Query, Jimmy Cook, and producer Eddie Garrison celebrating the 42-year anniversary of Fast Time at Ridgemont High being released. They also get into a discussion about Anthony Richardson appearing to be the guy as the next franchise quarterback, but they also point out that they really don't have a lot of that to base on. (27:32-43:05) – Earlier today Hellman's announced they have partnered with Will Levis on a cologne that smells like mayonnaise…Jake, Jimmy, and Eddie ponder if this is an actual cologne or if this is just a publicity stunt.

(46:17-1:17:38) – ESPN.com's Stephen Holder joins Jake Query & Jimmy Cook on a Tuesday to share his observations from the first preseason game for the Indianapolis Colts, assesses which tight end is on the outside looking in right now to make the roster, believes that the number of players that will wear the guardian caps could go up as the season goes along, and weighs in on whether Shane Steichen will opt to play Anthony Richardson after two joint practices with the Arizona Cardinals after a rusty first preseason game to give him more game speed reps. (1:17:38-1:29:43) – Following their conversation with Stephen Holder, Jake, Jimmy, and Eddie discuss Major League Baseball with the White Sox pummeling the Yankees last night. They look at where things are right now in the playoff standings for some teams.

We're kickin' off the school season right with an 80's classic featuring the biggest crush button of them all, Phoebe Cates! It's Fast Times at Ridgemont High! 

For the balance of the summer Paul, Javi, and - fearlessly - Producer Brad have braved one unbelievable movie premise after another: humanoid androids, murderous artificial intelligences, vengeful genetically engineered intergalactic dictators, the wastelands of the post-apocalypse, barbarian mercenaries with jet-powered swords… even singing sex workers have shown themselves to be no match for their laser-like analytical focus. But on the sixteenth weekend of the summer, our podcasters may have met their match with Amy Heckerling's film of Cameron Crowe's chronicle of 1980's high school shenanigans “Fast Times at Ridgemont High”. What happens when three dyed-in-the-wool geeks face the unthinkable: sexually active high schoolers with no interest in genre films, TV, or comic books? Marvel as the intrepid Multipex Overthruster crew struggles to make sense of something so far out of their reality that they are frequently rendered speechless and without the capacity for rational thought! It's the ultimately challenge - will the crew survive? There's only one way to find out!

To be a successful podcaster, you can't simply be a nice host who offends nobody. You need to be an authority and influencer in your niche. THE KEY TO BECOMING AN INFLUENCER You need the confidence to step up, step out and embrace your personality. Sure, you have a personality. You just need to define it, refine it, and let it shine. We sometimes get too caught up in what we do rather than why we do it. Your "why" is so much more important than your what. I recently discovered Myron Golden on YouTube. Myron said, "There are many people out there who would love to buy what you already love to sell if they only knew you existed. Instead of finding more people to sell to, make yourself more findable to those people who already want to buy what you already love to sell." You become more findable by being more interesting. Your six steps to success isn't interesting. Everything interesting is about people. Create more relationships, and you'll attract more people. WE LACK RELATIONSHIPS It's my mission to create more relationships in society. Tech has sucked relationships out of society. That makes it too easy to be against each other rather than supporting each other. We don't shop at the store any longer. Our shopping is done online. When I was a kid, we would go hang at the mall. Today, the malls barely exist. If my kids watched Mallrats or Fast Times at Ridgemont High, they wouldn't understand most of the jokes. Many of us work remotely. We don't hang with our coworkers around the water cooler or at happy hour. You aren't even required to go into the gas station any more. It's pay at the pump. We don't watch movies with others at the movie theaters, because movies are on our television. Kids aren't congregating at the arcade or in the park or at the pool. They are at home online with their virtual friends. CONNECTING WITH PEOPLE My daughter knew most of her freshman class in college before she ever stepped foot on campus. She graduated high school as COVID hit. Before her first semester began, they began having meet-ups on Zoom with all incoming freshman. She met a lot of people. On the day I dropped her off, we were walking down main street right off campus. I suddenly hear someone say, "Hey, Emma." I was stunned. We are in a small town thousands of miles from home. How could anyone possibly know her. After a brief chat, she tells me that was one of the girls on the Zoom calls. During that semester, all students attended class virtually from their dorm rooms. Meals were delivered by food service or picked up to be eaten in their room. Nobody was allowed to have roommates due to the pandemic. It was very easy for students to have no relationships with anyone. They could do everything alone in their room. If Emma hadn't been diligent about meeting others, she could have easily gone through college unnoticed. Fortunately, she met as many as possible. She also became president of her freshman class. GET NOTICED If you want to get noticed, build your audience, and attract your ideal clients, you need to get noticed as well. Tech will kill your relationships unless you're diligent about getting in front of your target audience. Solopreneur is a dangerous career if you're not careful. So, how do you become an influencer? You define your personality. Share that personality through stories that allow people to get to know you. Then, get on stages as often as you can to get people familiar with you. Like Myron said, they would love to buy what you already love to sell if they only knew you existed. It's time to let them know. There were two recent articles in Inside Radio that show why this is so important. PODCASTERS ARE INFLUENCERS The first article referenced Magna's Media Trials and Vox Media study called "A New Era Of Influence". The study referenced individuals whose influence matters most to listeners. It found that 75% of respondents value podcasters' influence. Social media influencers and celebrities from TV/film both landed at 15%. If you want to be an influencer, have a podcast and be unique. INFLUENCERS AREN'T ADVERTISING The second article showed the importance of using your podcast for influence rather than advertising. We've talked about this many times before. Advertising on your podcast is just a bad idea. If you really want this to sink in, grab a pen and paper to write down a few numbers. Podcasting has taken the term CPM from traditional media. CPM is an acronym for Cost Per Mille, or cost per thousand. Mille is Latin for thousand. According to investopedia.com, cost per thousand is a marketing term that refers to the cost an advertiser pays per 1,000 advertising impressions. In radio, it would be the cost to reach 1,000 listeners. It might be said that a radio station had 3,000 average quarter hour listeners. That would mean on average 3,000 people are listening to that particular station at that particular time. If the CPM is $25, the price of a commercial would be $75. You would divide 3,000 listeners by 1,000 to get the number of thousands. That equals 3. We then multiply our 3 by our CPM which is $25 to get our $75 commercial. All stations in a market are treated roughly the same. How many thousands of listener do you have for your show? THE ADVERTISING ABYSS According to the other article in Inside Radio, "Podcast CPMs ticked up slightly in June according to Libsyn Ads. Based on the spots sold through its platform says the average CPM for a one-minute ad was $21.90." Let's do the math. The big agencies are looking for podcasts with at least 5,000 downloads per episode. Libsyn says only 7% of all podcasts on Libsyn reach that level. Let's pretend that you're lucky enough to be one of those 7%. If you have 5,000 listeners, that would be five groups of 1,000 for our per thousand calculation. If the CPM or cost per thousand is $21.90, your one-minute commercial on your show is worth $109.50. Now, how many commercials are you willing to clutter your show with before your listeners tune away? Let's say that number is six with two at the beginning, two in the middle and two at the end. But really, how often do you listen to the two minutes of commercials at the beginning of your favorite show before you hit the skip button? We'll go with six for the sake of discussion. Now each episode is worth six commercials times the $109.50 for each ad. That's a total of $657 per show. Four episodes per month generates $2,628. If you sell your advertiser by quarter, it would generate $8,451. That would be 24 clients over the course of the year to generate $34,164 annually. Now $34,000 sounds pretty good. I can hear you saying, "Erik, I'd take $34,000 for creating my podcast." WHY YOU WON'T WIN WITH ADS Here's the problem... or problems. One, you are trading the goodwill you've built with your audience for the cash the ads are generating. Your fans don't like the commercials. How many times have you been listening to your favorite podcast or watching a YouTube video and said, "Fantastic! Another Wix commercial!" Right. You get just as aggravated as I do. Do you really want to do that to the people you are trying to attract as clients? I didn't think so. Problem number two... it takes a lot of time to land an advertiser. I've spent 35 years in radio. We had 15 sales people working 40 hours a week trying to sell advertising. Now granted, we were selling 24 hours of content. But many of those advertisers were on multiple hours a day. You're trying to land coaching clients. You're trying to find time to produce your podcast on a regular basis. There needs to be time to market your business and handle the other tasks. You don't have time to sell advertising. And you don't have time to keep your advertisers happy when they tell you, "It's not working." It doesn't matter how many customers the advertiser gets, they always think it should have been more. And problem number three is the revenue. $34,000 sounds like a lot, but that is it. The number doesn't go any higher unless you add more commercials, which we know is a bad. You can't charge more due to the CPM. The CPM treats your listeners just like every other listener. You're a commodity. BECOME AN INFLUENCER Instead, build relationships. Demonstrate your authority. Become an influencer in your niche. Are you ready to see if it's possible for you to become an authority and influencer? Let's have a conversation.
