A seasoned entrepreneur, she owned her first company—a candy store and ice cream parlor—at the age of 17 before heading off for college. She subsequently built a successful career in film and marketing before launching Killer in 2010. Within a few years, Killer Visual Strategies grew to become the industry leader in visual communication, driving visual strategy and creative content campaigns for global brands including Microsoft, Boeing, Adobe, Nikon, Starbucks, the National Endowment for the Arts, the United Nations, and more. By 2018, Balliett and her executive team sold Killer to an agency collaborative and subsequently joined fellow agency leaders in building Material. Named the Number One Global Strategic Consulting Firm by GRIT in 2021, Material combines the talent of 12 leading agencies, consisting of 1200+ global employees across the practices of research, strategy, design, and brand building.  Today, Balliett is the Senior Fellow of Visual Strategy for Material, serves as the Chief Visual Strategist on several boards, and is an award winning author. Considered an expert in her field, Balliett speaks at dozens of conferences each year including SXSW, Adobe MAX, Content Marketing World, and more. She is also a regular teacher at The School of Visual Concepts, a guest lecturer at several colleges and universities, and a LinkedIn Learning instructor.  We talked about the following and other items Starting a business at 17 Wanting to be a Director in the Film Industry Content Marketing Public Speaking Guy Kawasaki Writing her book  Amy's Social Media Amy's Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/amyballiett/ Amy's Advice I have two pieces of advice. First, the word entrepreneur is used so loosely, that very few people actually understand what it takes to be a founder. I would almost rather use the word founder over entrepreneur. The thing is you're not an entrepreneur, when you just have ideas, but you have no way to execute those ideas. I can't stand those types of entrepreneurs, where they think that their idea is so brilliant that people will come work for free and build their idea for them.  But then they'll reap all the benefits. That's BS to me. If you have an idea, and you learn how to execute that idea yourself, that's a lot more entrepreneurial. So I guess my first piece of advice is know what an entrepreneur really is, an entrepreneur, in my opinion, is a founder, a person who is the last person to take money out of the company, only after everybody else gets paid, and you've secured everybody else's job and livelihood. An entrepreneur is somebody who risks everything for potential reward in the distant future, not the near future. An entrepreneur is somebody who empowers other people to grow and build their families. and move up in their careers. So if you want to be an entrepreneur, you need to understand that that's an 80 hour a week job. It's not a 40 hour a week job, it's definitely not less than 40 hours a week. You're not gonna get rich quick. If you want to be an entrepreneur, the best entrepreneurs, in my opinion, are the ones who know how to perform every single role in their business, and have spent at least a month at minimum performing that role before hiring for that role. My preference would be you're spending six months performing that role before you hire for that role. That's what you need to do if you want to bootstrap and create a successful company where your employees respect you and want to work for you.

What is an artist doing working for NASA? Dan Goods on the beauty and vastness of the universe. --- "I had one grain of sand, and that represented our galaxy. What was cool was that I could have someone at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory drill a hole a tenth of the size of the grain of sand into it - and that little, tiny hole is where we live." The universe is a vast and beautiful thing. We know more about it than ever before, but there's still so much to discover. Dan Goods is a Visual Strategist for NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, and his job is to make the universe just that bit more comprehensible through art – like drilling a hole in a grain of sand, or creating retro travel posters for other planets. For example, the tagline for the planet Kepler-16b? "The land of two suns … where your shadow always has company." In this episode, Dan shares his enthusiasm for the mystery and wonders of the universe, and why he can never stop being in awe of the world around us – and beyond. "Awe has to do with vastness and things that are much bigger than yourself – there's a sense of reverence involved in it. That feeling draws you to something that starts a spiritual conversation. You may call it God, or the universe, or whatever … but I think it starts asking these questions." --- More from Dan Goods: www.directedplay.com Find out more about the Museum of Awe: www.museumofawe.org --- SUBSCRIBE to 'Life & Faith' on Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/cpxpodcast FIND US on Facebook: www.facebook.com/publicchristianity FOLLOW US on Twitter: www.twitter.com/cpx_tweet

His work has traveled to Comicon, the TED Conference, the Super Bowl & to space. Full shownotes: http://yourcreativepush.com/jobyharris In this episode, Joby discusses: -Some of his earliest creative moments, including his 21-book series, “What Ninjas Can Do.” -Being willing to wear many different creative hats along his journey and how that all added up to him being a well-rounded creative person. -The opportunity he created for himself to work with a local special effects artist. -The importance of teaching, mentorship, and surrounding yourself with likeminded creative peers. -The story of the exoplanet posters for JPL. -How he didn’t think that many people were going to see the exoplanet posters, yet he still pulled an all-nighter to create them with excellence. -How he responded to the posters going viral. -Giving your audience as much possibility to put themselves into your art as you can, so that they are able to tell their own story through your creativity. -How outer space and space exploration can help to bring people together, especially if the arts are involved. -How he realized that he is actually more creative in the morning, whereas he used to think he was a night owl. -The importance of being a voracious reader. Joby's Final Push will inspire you to leave people better off than before they met you!   Quotes: “You don’t have to really teach anything, you just get people around each other and they naturally elevate themselves.” “Whatever I do, I’m going to do it with excellence.” “These were real worlds that could exist and people imagined themselves there and they had the NASA meatball stamp on it.  So I think it was kind of lightning in a bottle.” “It’s the thing that you do, that you don’t think anyone’s going to see, and that’s going to be what launches you.” “I’m stoked that NASA and JPL are really investing in the arts as much as science, technology, engineering and math.” “Arts are a powerful weapon to inspire people and to get them looking away from each other, looking away from themselves, and getting them looking up to something that we can unite and work towards as humans.  Because this is all we’ve got, this planet.” “Like space, there’s a momentum that will naturally take you to the top.  And it’s quick, so you better be ready.” Links mentioned: JPL Invisible Creature Hooked: How to Build Habit-Forming Products by Nir Eyal and Ryan Hoover Star Talk Radio George Lucas: A Life by Brian Jay Jones Beautiful Dust Specks Connect with Joby: Website / Instagram On the next episode: Nikki Rae : Website / Twitter / Instagram Join the discussion in the Facebook group!

Simply put, a marketer's job is to translate a brand into exciting, informative, and empowering consumer engagements. In that regard, Dan Goods is the ultimate translator. At NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab, he serves as the company's "Visual Strategist," translating high IQ scientific concepts into public art exhibitions. He and his work in and of itself, truly define "out of the box" thinking. On IC, Dan shares some of his work (including swimming like an otter), things he's learned, and how a true artist ends up at NASA. Featuring special guest host, Diana Williams.
