Creative Confidential with Bryan Tuk

Today’s episode is about persuasion, and how we process the world these days.

We are entering into a phase in American history that’s littered with some embarrassingly bad rhetoric, and a lot of screaming at one another, when we should all be talking to one another.

How we talk to one another matters. In earlier episode we talked about the words we use and what they can mean. But today this episode is about the art of persuasion… Because it is indeed an art.

In this mini-episode, we explore how much the words we use matter.  The words we use reveal who we really are and what we really think.

Knowing that words matter, and how we use them says a lot about us, there are some trends that we as creators and entrepreneurs need to keep in mind. For the full scoop, check out the entire episode.

Keep building the future; it’s closer than you think.

In this episode, we get a chance to talk about the evolution of culture with Jesse Rosen, the President and CEO of the League of American Orchestras. Mr. Rosen has been a leading voice for change, empowering the League’s more than 2,000 member organizations and individuals with knowledge and perspective to navigate their own paths through a rapidly changing environment.

Under Mr. Rosen’s leadership, the League has advocated for orchestras’ reinvigorated and deeper engagement with community; greater discipline and understanding of fiscal health; increased use of data to inform decision-making; and widespread engagement with composers. He has increased the League’s impact by building partnerships with organizations such as New Music USA, Board Source, the Thornton School of Music at USC, and the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service, and has given voice to America’s orchestras through his Huffington Post blog, Symphony magazine column, national media interviews, and international appearances.

Keep Building the Future.

Sometimes the pathway to get to where you want to go isn’t easy. Actually, often it is not easy.  The path can be a treacherous one with risks at every turn. 

Sometimes you have an idea.  Sometimes the idea has you, and that is the beginning of a journey.

Mac Smith was born into a family of tuba players in Omaha, Nebraska. His parents and older siblings exposed him to films that were a bit mature for his age, and a wide variety of musical styles. Mac experimented with video cameras, and picture editing throughout his childhood. He went off to Los Angeles at age 17 to take the Summer Production Workshop at USC Film School, and then made his home in Iowa City at the University of Iowa.

Mac marched in the sousaphone section of the Hawkeye Marching Band, and studied film at Iowa. During his time in Iowa City, Mac decided to audition for the Madison Scouts drum & bugle corps in Madison, Wisconsin. He marched as a contra player for only one year due to age eligibility in 1995.

Mac has worked on post production sound for over 75 films (“Dawn of the Planet of the Apes”, “The Birth of a Nation”, “Toy Story 3”, “Tron Legacy”, “Rango”) and has been nominated for 10 Golden Reel awards (Motion Picture Sound Editing).

In 2011, Mac and Tom Tollefsen started developing the concept of a documentary film that focuses on the drum corps activity that they wanted to direct and produce. The film, “Scouts Honor: Inside a Marching Brotherhood" screened at four film festivals from 2014 to 2015 and took home 3 awards. The film will be released on iTunes November 8th. Mac enjoys living in the Bay Area with his wife Ashley, his son Admiral, and daughter Maven.
