Casey Erin Clark sang at the Tony Awards a few months ago:  a dream come true for a Midwestern girl who grew up singing in church and starring in school musicals.  But it may not have happened if she had landed the Broadway role that she thought was her ticket to the big-time.  After earning a degree in fine arts, Casey came to New York City to try to make it on Broadway.  After making her off-Broadway debut, she soon found success when she landed a role in the cast of the 25th anniversary national tour of Les Miserables.  A few months after the tour ended, Casey was in final callbacks for the show's highly anticipated Broadway revival.  It was the role she was made for; she could feel it.  But she didn't get the part. And that's when Casey began to realize that she might just have another calling.   Episode Links and Resources:Vital Voice Training Website:  https://vitalvoicetraining.com/Voice (Is) Podcast:  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/voice-is/id1484301232Casey Erin Clark's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/caseyerinclark/Broadway Inspirational Voices:  https://broadwayinspirationalvoices.org/Additional Reading:Body of Work:  Finding the Thread That Ties Your Story Together, Pamela SlimBurnout:  The Secret to Unlocking the Stress Cycle, Emily Nagoski, Amelia Nagoski  Half the Sky:  Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide, Nicholas Kristoff, Sheryl WuDunn   Support this podcast by subscribing and reviewing!Music is considered “royalty-free” and discovered on Audio Blocks.Technical Podcast Support by: Jon Keur at Wayfare Recording Co.© 2022 Silver Linings Media LLC.

The Widest Net: Unlock Untapped Markets and Discover New Customers Right in Front of You by Pamela Slim About the Book: Discover and create a dynamic new model for growing your business by connecting with customers outside your usual field of view. Do you think you know your ideal customer? Think again. Many businesses create an ideal consumer profile―aiming all their sales and marketing efforts towards this single type of person―and end up missing out on endless opportunities to sell their services or products. Award-winning business coach, speaker, and author Pamela Slim has helped thousands of entrepreneurs around the world start, sustain, and scale their businesses. In The Widest Net, she explains how to build strong diverse relationships, identify and connect with new partners, expand markets, generate leads, and find new customers in places you may never have considered. Social media is a valuable business tool, but it can often create a comfortable cocoon for entrepreneurs, marketers, and leaders who all need to understand the entirety of the marketplace, not just their own social graph. With this book as a guide, you'll learn how to connect with potential clients and customers using the true breadth of the marketplace, which she calls an ecosystem of living connections. The Widest Net shows how to: Search outside your own lens/bias/routine/history to target ideal customers. Attract the interest and attention of new leads by learning more about them authentically. Develop products and services suited to these customers. Sell through a trusted reciprocity framework where your customers become part of your ecosystem and you each help the other grow. Build and sustain loyalty and trust with new customers. Nurture a diverse and resilient customer base by identifying and adjusting to the ideal customer target over time.

Emily Schildt is the founder of Pop Up Grocer, a traveling pop up grocery store that lies at the intersection of exhibit, retail store and grocer. She's also a brand communications and marketing consultant, and previously was the director of digital engagement at Chobani in its early days. Recognized as an innovator in the retail space, AdWeek named Pop Up Grocer "Best Pop-Up" in its first annual retail awards . In this episode we talk about:How her experience as a brand communications and marketing consultant informed her strategy for Pop Up Grocer, and why she forewent market research and created a brand that was what she wanted to see in the world.How she created an experiential company at the intersection of exhibit, retail and grocer with a business model that aligns more with being a media company than a retail company.Why it's critical to educate and communicate thoroughly when doing something very different and innovative.The challenges and complexity introduced by looking for traditional marketing metrics when moving commerce into experience that is both geographically specific and online, and how Emily differentiates indicators of performance from sales.Why its companies' responsibilities to support causes in line with their values or the times and how there are many ways of doing that beyond just monetary support.Why curation and trust is important in the attention economy.References and resources:Pop Up Grocer Company of One by Paul JarvisBody of Work: Finding the Thread That Ties Your Story Together by Pamela SlimmThe Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck by Mark MansonTable Manners with Jessie Ware  Select highlights:"Especially when you think about the current time we are living in and how that might affect peoples shopping habits, I think they definitely want to make decisions that are grounded in values and missions and interests and activism of the company, so that's something we certainly think about in our product selection.""You dont know from a tomato jam on shelf that it's black owned, or that its growing its tomatoes through specific harvesting; it's up to us to relay that story and ensure the person visiting our space understands the reasoning behind our selection. Also, that's what distinguishes us in this discovery space from a traditional grocery store or retail space, is that generally speaking you dont have an opportunity to get a sense of that contextual information.""I think in terms of sustainability, I think people care about that and want to care about that, but they care about other things first: what something says about them and their own identity. To have something be cool first and foremost and then if it just happens to house all these things that are sustainable, for example, it benefits everyone, because I think its a much stronger motivator than just wanting to do better for yourself or the environment.""I felt every food company when approaching how to create its brand was hanging its hat on the fact that they source their ingredients responsibly and they're 100% clean and non-GMO. Those are stock standard things that people expect. What else is interesting about you? I approach our brand in the same way.""If you sell things that's a total bonus, but what we're offering you is exposure and visibility. And just like any form of advertisement, newsletter podcast influencer, access to our audience of early adopters and other influential people comes at a cost. And its a pretty insignificant cost." (Of the PUG business proposition and market value)"In the forming of my career and me as a professional woman, I learned at Chobani for example, that giving back should just be ingrained in your business model... I think its the responsibility of businesses. When I was developing our business model, that was a part from day one."(On the move to e-commerce) "If everything wasn't happening as it is, I think we probably would have waited longer, and it would be much more sophisticated and robust. Like everything I think I've done, you just start. You just start somewhere, and you let it evolve, and grow with it.""Similar to our physical spaces, the opportunity with e-commerce is to translate that discovery experience. To really surprise and delight and bring a sense of joy and happiness, especially right now to people in their homes."

Pamela Slim is the author of two books: * *" Escape From Cubicle Nation: From Corporate Prisoner to Thriving Entrepreneur ( http://amzn.to/1RFGqnk ) "* * *" Body of Work: Finding the Thread That Ties Your Story Together ( http://amzn.to/1RFGGm0 ) "* Writing a book is a great way to create a cohesive narrative to get your message out there. Since there are so many people putting out content, being "vetted" by an established publisher helps you with social proof. Pamela Slim has been in business for 17 years. The first 10 she was consulting with larger corporations on the human aspect side of things. While there she noticed that there were many people that wanted to leave but were afraid to do so. She started her blog 8 years ago to help her as a business-development tool. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- *Guy Kawasaki* gave her a shot on his blog. She sent Guy an email about one of her blog posts. She was a fan of his and had never met him and within 10 minutes he replied and asked her to turn her 4 points into 10 points and she finished it at 2 am and he posted it the next morning. She went from 100 followers to 20,000 overnight. Too many people feel that are not worthy but we are all equal. Approach people as a "less-experienced equal." It's all about who knows you and they know you because of the great work you are doing, according to Guy Kawasaki. "I live for the emails" where people tell me they read my stuff and my tips helped them. "We all suck when we start." We all move through the Consciously Competent model. Get your content in front of those people it's for. Build the app, write the blog, start the podcast, make the YouTube video, choose the tool that is most frequently used by your audiences. Your website is your hub. "Body of Work" - work is inherently *unstable* now. *This is our new normal*. Career paths are unstable. The one thing we can control is the body of work we create: podcasts, code, products. Things are not all black and white. Corporate America is not all bad. Being an entrepreneur is not all good. The goal is to be flexible. EscapeFromCubicleNation.com ( http://www.escapefromcubiclenation.com/ ) is Pamela Slim's site for her first book and PamelaSlim.com ( http://pamelaslim.com/ ) is where she is rebranding herself and expanding her offerings since "escaping" is not the best message for corporate clients to bring her in. We need to develop our story-telling skills: what we tell ourself and what we tell our audience. Start your brand small. The first 6-12 months in business *"everything is a hypothesis."* You must experiment and figure out what you do well and what is unique. You must be able to answer: what do you do and who do you do it for! *The One Page Business Plan* ( http://amzn.to/1UAgjCd ) - fun book. Graphical display. It can help you boil down what it is you do. Tim Berry - Palo Alto Software - LivePlan ( http://www.liveplan.com/?pasc=pas-home-button ) - in the cloud tool for financials, education, your mission statement, etc. Not planning "almost never has a good outcome." Create your life plan first and your business plan will come from that. Without that you'll end up chasing the wrong plan.
