Send us a textLikeness isn't luck—it's design. On this episode, I sit down with live digital caricature artist Angie Jordan to explore how she turns a trade show aisle into a packed crowd and a stream of branded keepsakes. Angie breaks down the math behind caricature—allocating space to the biggest feature, exaggerating for clarity, and composing faces that are often more recognizable than a photo.She shares how she teaches kids with her “30-box” method, reads silhouettes at a hundred feet, and blends drafting precision, showmanship, and portable tech—from Wacom tablets and compact rigs to fast printers and client-facing TVs. We also talk branding, style, and influence, from Hanna-Barbera to Al Hirschfeld, Steven Silver, and Tom Richmond, and why embracing quirks often beats chasing symmetry.If you're planning a booth, corporate event, or wedding, Angie offers practical tactics to drive dwell time, spark conversations, and create shareable art that keeps your brand in the feed.Check out her work and book Angie at angiejordan.com and on Instagram at @AngieJordan7.

Today, I interview Manya Gittel who lost her voice during a stroke and woke up to something far more unexpected than the crisis itself. She describes that moment as an inner awakening she didn't see coming, one that shifted her sense of who she was and how her voice lived inside her.Manya shares parts of her early life, shaped by her parents' history and the roles she learned to carry as a child. These patterns became so natural to her that she never questioned them, even as they influenced how she showed up in the world.What changed after the stroke is something she explains in a way that feels both surprising and deeply human. The way she describes that shift invites you to listen closely and wonder about the places where you too might be living from habit instead of truth.Today, Manya reflects on how that experience continues to shape her voice and her presence. Her story opens a rare conversation about authenticity, connection, and the moment a person realizes they have been further from themselves than they knew. It is an invitation to explore what happens when someone finally hears the voice they didn't know they lost.__________________Manya Gittel is a coach and trainer from South Africa who works with people around the world. Her background spans decades of facilitation, education, training programs, coaching, participatory theatre, and deep study of the Enneagram. She is known for helping people explore truth through voice, presence, and honest connection.Manya's work is rooted in meaningful engagement, both with oneself and with others. She brings a unique blend of insight and experience, shaped by training in both formal and informal settings and by the recognitions she has received for her commitment to personal growth and awareness.Recent life events have opened new layers in her understanding of authenticity and expression, and she now weaves those insights into her coaching. She continues to guide people toward a more grounded, truthful relationship with themselves and with the world around them.__________________Find Manya here:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/manyagittel/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KnocKnockCoaching/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/masteryofselfandrelationshipsLinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/manyagittelSupport the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Scott Townsend Show, I reconnect with longtime friend and marketing leader Jacquelyn LaMar Berney, President of VI Marketing and Branding in Oklahoma City. Jacquelyn—an accomplished marketer, community leader, and trustee for the Oklahoma City Museum of Art—joins me for a thoughtful and energizing conversation about authenticity, personal branding, and the strange new world of LinkedIn advice.Jacquelyn and I unpack a recent post she wrote that began with the bold opener: “LinkedIn advice is worthless.” That hook sparked a deep dive into why people chase engagement, how AI-generated posts are changing the platform, and why contradictory “thought leadership” leaves people confused rather than helped.We talk about the “Harvard Trust Triangle,” what it means to have a “wobble” in how others perceive your empathy, logic, or authenticity, and how to show up as your real self without oversharing. Jacquelyn also reflects on the evolution of LinkedIn—from résumé site, to networking hub, to something that sometimes feels like Tinder-for-business.Together, we explore:Whether authenticity is still possible in an algorithm-driven worldHow personal brands are built (whether you mean to build one or not)Why trend-chasing feels hollowHow to genuinely help people without turning into an “influencer”It's a smart, funny, and honest conversation about the tension between being yourself and performing yourself online—and why showing up with integrity still matters.

If you often feel anxious, overwhelmed or alone, if you frequently find yourself in relationships that cause you pain, listen to this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast as host Elizabeth Cush shares her experiences with finding safety within. “I can be the person who meets me where I need to be met, and I can do that with kindness and care.” — Biz CushHave childhood neglect, trauma, chronic illness affected your internal sense of well-being? Does the state of the world leave you feeling overwhelmed? If you're a highly sensitive woman, chances are you have felt an outsized impact—and it's equally likely that you've been told “you're over-reacting” so often that you no longer trust yourself. That's a hard place to be. The good news is, no matter where you are on your journey, you can heal, and keep healing. In this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast, host Biz Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and a life coach for highly sensitive women, talks about safety and community, shares some of her own journey, and offers insight into the tools she used to settle the noise inside , reconnect with her inner wisdom and intuition, and really learn to trust herself. You can find the show notes and resources for all episode here.Join the Circle of Sacred Sensitivity here.Support the showI hope you enjoyed the show!

➡ CLICK HERE to send me a text, I'd love to hear what you thought about this episode! Leave your name in the text so I know who it's from! Today on the show: a gathering of words.I'm talking with Milwaukee Poet and interdisciplinary artist, Angela Voras-Hills. She and her co-host Danielle Harms have organized a semi-regular book reading they call Book Drop MKE, inviting local and national authors and poets to read their new collections on a stage for local readers. Held at a nearby brewery, this event invites the audience to interact with authors, and with each other in a much more engaging way than your typical book reading. Icebreakers, raffles, laughter and poetry all on a Friday night. If you've been looking for a creative way to gather and you're local, make your way to a Book Drop in December (or follow on IG to find their next event). And if you aren't local, Angela and I talk a little about how you might set up a Book Drop in your own community. Key takeaway for me (again): If you host it, they will come. People want to gather. Links for Book Drop MKE and AngelaOn InstagramOn FacebookAngela's Website Angela's book: Louder Birds at BoswellSupport the showI'd love to hear what you think.

Send us a textOne of the greatest blessings in my life is the people that have been a part of my journey since bringing Reese into my life in 2018. We have made so many friends through training, Instagram or friends that have adapted from other areas of our lives. Having people in your life who support you and encourage you changes the game and I would not be where I am at today if it weren't for each and every one of them. Community is everything and feeling alone with your dog, your situation, reactivity and training can be so hard. Feeling like people are judging you because of your dog or the way you try to work with them is so isolating. That is why we started the FB Page Balancing Reactivity Canadian Dogs so that people had a safe place to share their wins, struggles, vent or ask for advice. I won't lie... it's a little dead there but life is crazy. We use the page to also plan pack walks with those in our area and it has helped develop even more relationships even just online!If you are missing that supportive person in your life, reach out! I would love to help encourage you and be someone that you can go to to feel less alone. Find me on InstagramRey @mylittlepibbleEmail reesecanineco@gmail.comFacebook GroupSupport the showI am not a dog trainer.

Send us a textIn this episode, I visit with Max Skinner, Senior Manager of Community Development for Movember. Men's health needs more than awareness—it needs action people can see, measure, and join. Max and I explore how a global mustache movement has evolved into a U.S.-anchored engine for impact, funding programs that tackle prostate cancer, testicular cancer, and the growing crisis of men's mental health and suicide prevention.We dive into Mind Moves, Movember's mental-wellness program tailored for collegiate student-athletes navigating performance pressure, identity shifts, and the new NIL reality. Hosted on a platform that reaches more than 150,000 athletes, Mind Moves teaches students how to spot warning signs, start real conversations, and use campus resources—turning education into prevention.We also unpack the Real Faces of Men's Health Report, a first-of-its-kind U.S. analysis offering state-by-state data, demographic insights, and policy recommendations that move the conversation from slogans to strategy.The numbers are stark—60 men die by suicide every hour worldwide, and three out of four suicides in the U.S. are men—but the solutions can start small. Max and I talk about meaningful check-ins, building shared rituals that keep friends connected, and why growing a mustache still works as the perfect conversation starter.If you want to help, it's easy: grow, move, host, or “Mo Your Own Way.” Link your miles with Strava, use free templates and guides, and see where funds go through clear U.S. reporting.Ready to turn a mustache into momentum?

Earlier this year, Lizzie was angry, overwhelmed, disheartened  and ________ with the state of the world (fill-in-the-blank with any/all the exhausted words). So Lizzie decided to do something. Lizzie boiled a pot of spaghetti noodles, sauced them up and invited friends to her house to share their hopes and fears for our country. And now Lizzie hosts a 'protest potluck' every month for anyone who can show up.  But don't worry - we aren't talking politics in this episode. We're talking about what it takes to organize one of these for yourself - even if, or maybe especially if, it sounds intimidating. Or, if - like my friend Lizzie - you sometimes experience social anxiety and would rather just stay home. I hope you'll tune in and listen - and maybe even try a potluck of your own making!

Send us a text5 Things Every Promo Email MUST Have (If You Want Sales!)**If your promo emails are getting meh opens or zero clicks, this quick-hit episode is your wake-up call. After reviewing dozens of client emails inside Nail Your Email Marketing and in my 1:1 sessions, I've seen the same mistakes again and again… especially during sales season.So today, I'm walking you through the 5 non-negotiables every promo email should include to actually get opened, read and clicked.This is your micro-masterclass in writing emails that convert, not collect dust in the inbox.In this episode, we cover:1. Why your subject line needs to slap, not snoozeBoring subject lines get ignored. You need curiosity, clarity, or straight-up benefits. I share what makes a subject line irresistible and why A/B testing should be your new best friend.2. The must-have CTA above the foldIf your audience has to scroll to find the link, you've already lost them. I break down what “above the fold” actually looks like and why clarity always wins.3. High-contrast design that people can actually readPastel on pastel? Tiny fonts? Hard pass. I share my go-to readability tool and the simple graphic design rule that will instantly improve your emails.4. Clear, non-waffly copy that respects your customer's timePromo emails should be quick, direct and obvious. No filler paragraphs, no “hope this finds you well.” Tell them the offer, why it matters and why they should care right now.5. One email, one goalIf you give people too many choices, they choose nothing. I walk through why your promos need ONE job and exactly how to structure them.+ Bonus tipA little movement goes a long way — think GIFs, scrolling marquees, or icon-style features that communicate essential info fast.• Subject Line Examples: here • My favourite contrast checker: https://coolors.co/contrast-checker • Nail Your Email Marketing Program: Learn how to create emails that convert like crazy.Want help boosting your sales, getting your emails actually opened, and creating a marketing system that makes Support the showI'm Mel Robbins! from @thelotcoGrab my free training: Your 90-Day Plan to a Profitable Product Business Without Relying On Social Media From not enough sales to effortless abundance and creating consistent sales in your business with this roadmap.

I respond to Jake Frew's Patreon post about YouTube Metrics and Airline etiquette.  I discuss a world without public metrics and trace how that shift might bring us back to trust, storytelling, and the simple power of word of mouth. From the Mona Lisa's fame without a counter to the way a Spielberg credit earns an automatic watch, I explain why following a creator's voice can be more satisfying than chasing whatever tops the charts.As for airline etiquette I talk about being a shades-up person most of the time, when it's kind to drop them, why not reclining in tight cabins respects the person behind you, and how back-to-front boarding logic beats aisle gridlock. Add a few low-friction habits—slide over, don't guard the aisle, stash bags fast—and everyone's flight gets easier. I believe we should support the creators who earn your trust, whether that's subscribing, sharing, or joining their Patreon.

Today, I interview John Kippen who spent years hiding after a surgery left half of his face paralyzed. His story is one of deep courage, transformation, and learning what it really means to be seen.As a child, John grew up in a successful family and learned how to perform, achieve, and seek approval. But beneath that confidence was a longing to be understood for who he truly was. When a brain tumor led to facial paralysis, everything he knew about identity and worth was shaken.What followed was a long season of silence and isolation that eventually became a doorway to rediscovery. Through his love for magic and storytelling, John began to connect with others again. The stage became a space where he stopped hiding, shared his truth, and turned what once felt like a limitation into a powerful message of authenticity.Today, John uses his voice to help others find theirs. As a speaker and empowerment coach, he reminds us that real confidence isn't about appearance or perfection. It begins with self-acceptance, compassion, and the courage to show up exactly as we are.__________________John Kippen is an entrepreneur, professional magician, speaker, resilience and empowerment coach, and published author.In 2002, he was diagnosed with a large benign brain tumor that, while successfully removed, left him with permanent facial paralysis. The experience stopped his forward momentum and led him into hiding for more than twelve years.During that time, John rediscovered his childhood love for performing magic and storytelling. What began as a way to cope slowly became his source of healing. With renewed passion and hope, he came to see that his facial difference was not a limitation but his greatest superpower.Today, John lives with joy and purpose, helping others rise above self-doubt and fear. As a resilience and empowerment coach, he teaches people to get out of their own way and step into a life of confidence and connection.His guiding mottos are simple yet profound: Being different is your superpower and Feed your heart with your art.__________________Find John here:https://www.johnkippen.com/https://www.facebook.com/kippen/?_rdrhttps://www.instagram.com/johnkippen/?hl=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/johnkippenspeaker/Support the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

His journey? Wild. Beautiful. Painful. Product-founder AF.Jamie takes us through everything, including: • the moment on a remote beach in Indonesia that changed his entire career • why his first eco-friendly range worked but also didn't work • the messy truth of manufacturing a brand-new invention • how he used Kickstarter to validate demand AND fund a very expensive mold process • what 12,000+ customers taught him about product design • why retail and DTC must work together (and how he balances both) • his big mistakes, biggest lessons, and why perseverance beats everything • what launching Version 2 looks like (spoiler: it's live now)Jamie is honest, generous, and gives you a real look at what actual product development looks like behind the scenes. If you're a maker, product founder, wholesaler or inventor, you'll want to take notes.LINKS:

Send us a textA mustache can start a conversation, but the real goal is changing the rules men grew up with. This episode digs into Movember as a catalyst for men's mental health, exploring why so many guys carry stress, anxiety, and depression in silence and what it takes to make sharing feel safe. We talk candidly about the phrases that shape boys—man up, boys don't cry—and how those scripts follow men into adulthood, where vulnerability can feel like breaking the code.I share a simple ritual that helped my son and me build trust: a monthly hour where he spoke and I listened without judgment or quick fixes. It began awkwardly and grew into easy “man dinners” where anything or nothing could be the topic. From there, we map out practical tools you can use right away: lead with your own truth to lower the bar, ask open-ended questions that invite stories, and give silence room to work. When words come, resist the urge to solve. A sincere that sounds tough, I get it can be more powerful than a dozen solutions.We also spotlight ways to engage with Movember beyond facial hair. Move for Movember turns empathy into action with 60 miles to honor the 60 men lost to suicide every hour around the world. Hosting a moment—a simple gathering—creates community, connects men to resources, and chips away at stigma one conversation at a time. The throughline is clear: culture change happens in living rooms, on sidewalks, over wings, and with small, honest check-ins that make help feel normal.

Today, I interview Robin Humphreys, who once felt her voice caught in her throat and her body tense with fear. She shares how creative expression became her lifeline, helping her release what she couldn't say out loud.Growing up sensitive and full of imagination, Robin later faced experiences that taught her to hold back her voice. Years of silence led to a deep disconnection from her own safety and expression, until art and body-based healing began to show her another way to live and speak.Now, Robin helps others find that same freedom, guiding them to calm anxiety, reconnect with their bodies, and rediscover their authentic voice. Her work reminds us that healing and self-expression often rise together, leading us back to what is most true within.__________________Robin Humphreys is the visionary Founder and CEO of Phoenix Heart Healing.

It's because you're relying on the wrong system.In this episode, I dive into:Why Instagram is amazing for attention, but terrible for consistent salesThe difference between visibility and conversionWhy email marketing is your secret weapon for predictable profitHow to set up simple systems that sell for you (even while you sleep)I'll also share stories from real founders who went from slow weeks to steady sales — all by turning email into their most profitable channel.And I share real client stories of what changed when they shifted from posting more to building smarter systems.If you're ready to stop relying on algorithms and start building consistent, reliable sales this episode is your next step.

Today, I interview Heidi Fischbach who grew up in a strict, high-control environment where fear and rules shaped how she learned to speak and exist. From an early age, she carried the weight of right and wrong, heaven and hell, and learned to stay small to stay safe.As she grew older, this constant vigilance became anxiety and self-silencing. Her turning point came when she began to understand how the body holds old fear-based patterns, and how healing the nervous system can restore a sense of safety and calm. Through curiosity and self-friendliness, she learned that safety isn't just emotional, it's physical, and that when the body feels safe, the voice naturally begins to emerge.Today, Heidi helps others reset their nervous systems and rediscover what it feels like to be calm, connected, and expressive. She teaches that healing happens in small, steady increments, not through force, but through gentleness and presence.__________________Heidi Fischbach is a nervous system coach and writer who helps people reset after high-control environments, whether that's a fundamentalist religion, a rigid family system, or chronic survival mode. With training in Focusing, Polyvagal Theory, and body-based trauma healing, she helps clients feel safe, connected, and at home in their bodies.She is currently finishing her memoir, Missionary Kid: How My Body Saved My Mind from High-Control Christianity, and offers a program called The Nervous System Jumpstart.__________________Find Heidi here:https://www.instagram.com/heidifischbach/https://www.heidifischbach.comSupport the showI'm Dr. Doreen Downing and I help people find their voice so they can speak without fear.

Today, I interview Catherine G. Lucas who opens up about losing her voice in the midst of a painful breakdown. In her late teens she was already standing on stage for public speaking competitions, but by the time her parents divorced during her university years, the weight of family wounds caught up with her. Instead of enjoying summer with friends, she found herself in an acute psychiatric ward, her world shattered and her voice silenced.Her breakthrough came much later, when she discovered that what had been called a breakdown could also be seen as an awakening. It took years of reframing and deep inner work to see her experience not as illness, but as a turning point with the potential for healing.Through mindfulness, patient advocacy, and writing her first book, In Case of Spiritual Emergency, Catherine began to speak from her whole self rather than hide in shame. Today she helps others step into their deeper calling, showing that finding your voice is not about perfection but about expressing the truth of who you are in a way that heals and uplifts.__________________Catherine G.

The past year we've lost some great people in the podcasting family. Neil Guilarte and Todd Cochrane both died suddenly with no warning. If you're not prepared, you leave your family in a lurch adding to the stress of your passing. I bring on The Podcast Lawyer Gordon Firemark to explain some of the ins and outs (Gordon doesn't do wills and such, but can explain the process). As law change based on location you may want to hire someone locally, or use an online tool that adjusts to your location.Takeaways: If you don't have a will, your podcast may not end up where you want it to. Dying without instructions for your podcast can lead to chaos for your family. Setting up a will or a plan for your podcast is just plain smart business. Don't wait until it's too late; get your podcast plans in order now. Having a podcast prenup can save your loved ones from a lot of headaches later. Make sure your family knows how to access your podcast info if you suddenly vanish.
