DO YOU with Brianne Hogan

Are you an actor with questions on what it takes to "make it" in Hollywood? Are you a Canadian with questions on how it's like to make the jump across the border to chase your dreams? Do you wonder if you made the right decision to lead the artist's life instead of having a more "stable" job?

He's also writing and producing a web series called, "Roommate Chronicles," which is streaming on YouTube. Currently based in Los Angeles, Tyler is the owner/operator of Kill the Pig Productions .

In this episode, we discuss: 

• his decision to quit university to pursue acting in New York
• his process to work legally in the U.S. as a Canadian

• his experience working on reality shows, including "Toddlers & Tiaras"

Are you curious about what it takes to be a social media influencer? Do you want to grow your social media following but don't know how to start? Do you want to keep and expand your social media platform as a side hustle (and not quit your day job)?

Well, ladies and gents, may I introduce you to Kerry Laifatt, content creator and social media influencer extraordinaire. Oh, and she also happens to be a mom, wife, and is crushing it at her 9-5 job in the film/TV industry. 

Kerry's a Toronto-based traveling foodie with 10K+ followers who's always in search of the best food and unique experiences. As a former model and actress, her on-camera skills, not to mention innate creativity, have definitely come in handy when it comes to her side hustle. As a 40-something mom, she's not your typical influencer which is why it's especially inspiring and motivating to see her continually kill it online. 

In this episode , we discuss:

• A BTS look on what it really takes to be an Instagram influencer -- from photography to lighting to filters (or no filters)
• How to make money as an influencer, including how to pitch collaborators and secrets from Kerry's media kit
• What you really wanted to know about being a foodie on social media 
• The pros and cons of being a social media influencer (it isn't always pretty pictures!)
• Why being a 40+ female social media influencer is unique and awesome -- and why age shouldn't matter when it comes to being your authentic self online 
• Why authenticity and showing what brings you joy is the perfect place to start when it comes to building your social media following 
• That time she acted on a favourite Hallmark Christmas movie, "Christmas at Cartwright's"
• Her worst audition as a "talking butt" and her brief stint as a roller girl who served shots from an ice sculpture vagina

I'm doing a little freestyle in this episode as I catch you up on what's been going on in my world lately, mainly rashes and anxiety and creating a new newsletter over at Substack. 

Basically, here's the DL on what goes on in this quick and dirty episode. I talk about:

• Calling 911 over rashes only to find out that stress, not allergies, were causing them. 
• My patterning and old trauma that resulted into me having these weird rashes. 
• How creating and pushing through and making stuff happen has been my balm to life's stresses -- sometimes this is a good thing, sometimes it just suppresses things (hence, the rashes).
• My old blog posts from the start of my freelance writing career, including one about pooping. 
• Why I think it's always best to just create the thing rather than get it perfect at the beginning. The branding can wait! Just create! (this is from a recovering perfectionist)
• Why starting the thing you want to start is always better than waiting for it to make sense. Create your thing! We want to see it! 
• Hulk Hogan's super stardom -- I mean, the dude was huge in the '80s! 
• Why you should do the thing you want to do -- especially if it feels GOOD!
• What you can expect from my newsletter Not Related to Hulk Hogan and how excited I am to share it with you.  (P.S. in the first post, I talk about Pete Davidson and calling 911 and it gets weirdly fascinating.)
