Comprising the Brothers Kinnon (Chris on vocals and guitar; Jeff on drums), riff-master Sean Casey (guitar), and classically educated bass player Enzo Figliuzzi, the Canadian/California-based band has played with everybody from garage legends like the Dirtbombs to arena stars Kings of Leon, making SXSW best-of lists numerous times, and in between hanging out with the Rolling Stones' legendary manager Andrew Loog Oldham. But putting integrity first had a cost: obscurity. Lions in the Street began their career by signing and then walking away from the troubled TVT Records (NIN, Pitbull, Little Jon), Nickelback's 604 Records (Carly Rae Jepson), and legendary manager Allen Kovac (Motley Crue, The Cars, Blondie, The Bee Gees), earning them a spot on the music industry's blacklist. Years in the wilderness resulted—working as a garbageman for almost a decade, surviving cancer, serious workplace injuries, and almost deadly car accidents, and going back to school. Yet, despite experiencing the best and worst of the of old music business—from hanging out with Todd Rundgren, Bob Ezrin, and R.E.M.'s Peter Buck, to seeing an A&R guy almost fired just for going to see them play—the band somehow kept going, releasing music piecemeal. For example, Lions in the Street released an EP in 2013 on British legend Sandy Roberton's label. Roberton ran Blue Horizon, the English label that launched the 60s British Blues rock movement with John Mayall, Fleetwood Mac, and Rory Gallagher.  Now the streaming platforms revolution has given Lions in the Street a new life an audience, allowing them to release largely-unheard music—finally finished and remixed/remastered. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Tommy Davidson's exceptional range – from stand-up comedy and acting to versatile music accomplishments – have earned him a reputation as an extraordinary performer. Best known as one of the stars of the hit television show In Living Color, his visibility has allowed him to become a household name known for his innovative talent. Davidson started his career as a standup comedian in Washington DC, earning an ardent following. Spotted by major concert promoters, he was first booked as the opening act for Patti LaBelle, Kenny G and Luther Vandross. It wasn't long before he came to Hollywood and was headlining the biggest rooms and met Robert Townsend. This led to his first national TV appearance and starring role in Partners in Crime, the conduit to Keenan Ivory Wayans, who proved instrumental in Davidson's career by offering him an opportunity to audition. Tommy and Jamie Foxx, Jim Carrey, Damon Wayans and David Alan Grier -- the uniquely talented cast of the most adventurous primetime variety show on television, In Living Color (1990), made TV history. The iconic sketch show was recently honored with the 'Groundbreaking Award" by TV Land in a star-studded salute guided by Whoopi Goldberg and this year celebrates its 25th anniversary.

Adrian is the Creative Director of Dragonfruit Media Dragonfruit Media's mission statement is to make the absolute best content in the world to make the world a better place He worked with the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic for 2 years and lived in Botswana for 6 months. He loves theater & acting, especially musicals. He loves basketball & he's a Blazers fan. His favorite books are Setting Free the Bears by John Irving & Banjo by Claude Mckay. His role models are John Cassavetes, John Coltrane, and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez. He believes that human behavior is deeply impacted by fear of the unknown.   Here's what we covered on the episode:  The Creation of Dragonfruit Media + YouTube Benefits  How Adrian sent me a creative pitch and is here to talk about video is the future of content and how design plays a role in that Adrian shares that he came back to the United States because of the pandemic after being in the Peace Corps in the Dominican Republic and always knew he wanted to do something in video production or visual storytelling  After returning to The United States, Adrian began working with a friend from college making YouTube videos for businesses or other creators  When they started seeing a lot of content about Search Engine Optimization (SEO), they thought about all the business surrounding outsourcing blog optimization and articles to build an organic audience and realized they could do that on YouTube The idea behind their agency was to use the organic promotion algorithm on YouTube to help businesses, brands, and creators really grow powerful, organic audiences on the YouTube platform through optimized video content      There are many benefits to YouTube; Adrian shares that it is the second most used social media platform, and there are so many people on it that you can niche down and repurpose your YouTube content across all other platforms    Adrian explains how organic promotion and discoverability is built into YouTube's algorithm, which means the supercomputer behind Google and Youtube is more powerful than other platforms and actively takes your content and puts it in front of potentially millions of people and is trying out to see if people will engage with it  If you are a small business owner, you have a brand or are trying to become an influencer or online creator, Adrian says YouTube is one of the best places you can go to get in front of people as quickly as possible One of the biggest benefits to YouTube is the brand value it has by creating an archive of content that communicates your brand position, unique value proposition, brand identity, and the voice of your business in a way that Adrian believes other mediums can't  Content Creation + Retention  Dragonfruit Media thinks of YouTube content in 3 different levels; discoverable-focused content, community-focused content, and conversion-focused content  When you're growing a YouTube channel, you want to start with the discoverable content, trying to reach as many people as possible, and as you move down the funnel, focusing more on speaking directly to your subscribers and then eventually showing features or tutorials of your offer  If you are feeling overwhelmed by the video production process, Adrian says to start by systemizing your content creation as much as possible so it can be efficient as scalable  One way to make content creation easier is by batching - Adrian explains this is where you block off 2-3 hours of your time and record multiple videos, so you have content to push out for the whole month instead of feeling like you have to record a new video each week  At Dragonfruit media, they work with clients to identify their ideal target audience, leading into their value proposition which is where you think about how you want to help your audience, leading into content buckets and breaking up your valuable content into categories, and finally leading into video concepts  Design in video content is super important for retention - you can use design in videos through B-roll footage, transitions, text effects, animations, stock footage, etc.       Adrian shares one easy way to optimize for retention that anyone can do is through faster cutting or jump cuts, where you throw your video into any basic video editing system and cut out all the pauses as you're talking   Dragonfruit Media Offers + Using Videos in Sales Funnels  How Dragonfruit Media breaks its services up into two categories: production and analytics  Adrian explains for their full production clients, they start with the initial ideation of video concepts, build out a long-term strategy and content plan, create titles and thumbnails, write the scripts, help with recording and production design and handle all the post-production like editing, sound design, color grading and finally manage the publication and monitor the analytics    The analytic side of Dragonfruit Media is for people who are already producing and editing their videos but want someone to deep dive into their data and take a look at what's working, what's not and suggest adjustments   When you're starting to use videos for your business and sales funnel, Adrian says step 1 is to build your organic audience on YouTube and focus on discoverable content that delivers free value    Once you have built your organic audience, Adrian says step 2 is where you can start directing people off-platform and start promoting your newsletter, for example, or you can create more community-oriented videos about what you do and tie it back to the discoverable videos you've been making  Step 3 is to create conversion-focused content where you break down exactly what your offer is to really convey your service or product in a way that is more compelling, colorful, and convincing than a normal landing page or blog post    Adrian gives an example of a client who wasn't necessarily trying to make sales on YouTube but saw they could build authority and become a thought leader in their niche on YouTube through video content to convey their brand value  Creating Brand Value  Dragonfruit Media is all about longevity when it comes to YouTube and focuses on building the right audience and building brand value  Adrian explains that revenue is important, but it also can be hard to track how on YouTube, so he says your mindset when investing in your YouTube channel should be more focused on getting in front of more people, increasing the value of your brand, and growing your business   If you are investing in your YouTube channel for six months and your profits are stalling, maybe it's not the best time to be investing in a channel, Adrian says, but if you have the cash flow to put towards your channel, you're receiving a positive response and your business is growing, you know you're doing something right The best way to see your immediate ROI is to look at the comment section, see how many likes you're getting, see if people are sharing your videos, and look at the overall feedback  When you're thinking about what kind of videos to create, Adrian says it comes down to what your ideal audience wants to see, how much time you have, and the resources you have to put into it  Adrian reiterates the fact that YouTube doesn't have to be scary, and says with just a couple extra hours a week, pretty much anyone can build a trusting, significant subscriber base on YouTube who will have the highest probability of investing in you  Go check out the landing page Dragonfruit Media created for The Design Business Show listeners at dragonfruitmedia.co/melissa to get some freebies, including a YouTube guide and an optimized checklist of video best practices  Links mentioned   Dragonfruit Media   The Design Business Show Freebies  Like what you heard?  Click here to subscribe + leave a review on iTunes.

College Conference Spring 2021 — recorded in Austin, TX. Speaker: Paul Bixby

Someone might expect us to be kind while the other person will say that we are not worthy, and then we get messed in this cycle. What we are doing is that following every individual’s opinion, and constantly pouring energy from one person to other in order to satisfy every person. The more you get involved the more those thoughts will entwine you. Societal pressures make our lives miserable, and if it is troubling you then you need to stay away from them. #Freedom #Free #Social #Expectations

Despite not wanting to run a good thing into the ground, Chris and Stefan are back one more time to cover a wide plethora of entertainment stories that range from stupid and wild to absolutely miserable! This is the new normal, folks. Get fucking used to it. They cover topics such as the controversy surrounding Ellen DeGeneres, George W. Bush continuing to be liked by liberals for some fucking reason, Jake Paul’s dope-ass hangout session with the FBI, the insane lawsuit against the HFPA, Disney being stupid (x2), and the end of the Paramount Consent Decree, as old and new correspondents come in to h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶e̶m̶o̶t̶i̶o̶n̶a̶l̶ ̶b̶r̶e̶a̶k̶d̶o̶w̶n̶ provide insights into the world we live in before they finally put the show on temporary hiatus for the sake of their mental health!

This is the twenty-sixth episode of "Talking with Authors" by HEC Media and HEC Books. We're a program dedicated to speaking with some of the best selling authors around, covering many different genres. We’re very excited to be able to come back to you after an unplanned hiatus due to the Coronavirus Pandemic of 2020. Since no authors were able to travel, and our partners at the St. Louis County Library and Left Bank Books were physically closed in the early days of social distancing, we were unable to conduct many of the scheduled interviews that we had planned. But, after the initial weeks of the global shutdown, we were able to set up remote video interviews with many authors. And in the coming weeks, we’ll be providing you with the audio of these interviews. Now sound quality may be slightly different than our previous podcasts, but they all still contain the great content that you’ve come to expect. Our guest this time is international bestselling author Alex George. We spoke with him via Zoom in April of 2020 about his book “The Paris Hours” published by Flatiron Books, a division of Macmillan Publishers.Before starting his career as an author, he worked as a corporate lawyer in his home country of England, as well as Paris. Now living in Columbia Missouri, he owns his own bookstore, still occasionally practices law, and spends his days writing critically acclaimed novels like “A Good American” and “Setting Free the Kites.” We’ll learn the details of how his latest novel was developed, hear about his life in Europe and the American Midwest, and get insights into his experiences as both an author and a bookshop owner on this edition of Talking With Authors from HEC Media and HEC Books. HEC Media is a production company out of St. Louis, Missouri. With the help of independent bookstore Left Bank Books and St. Louis County Library, we are able to sit down with these amazing writers and thought leaders to discuss their work, their inspiration, and what makes them special. You can watch video versions of most of our interviews at hecmedia.org.

Kaytee and Meredith return this week to chat about books with you! How do you feel about the backlist? We’re going there. You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: using books as a coping strategy and books that you’ve been meaning to read for more than decade… We dive in to discussing 3 books each. These mostly take a trip down backlist lane, because only one is brand new and the rest are back in the catalog.
