September 22, 2020 Ep: 49: How to Network as a Creative During COVID | The First Year Out Podcast
From simply not knowing where to go or look, to not wanting to come off as insensitive, and with life still happening and bills needing to be paid, just the thought of networking as a creative during COVID can prove to be overwhelming.
Luckily, during this episode #049 of the First Year Out Podcast host, Dyme Witherspoon speaks on the two essential elements needed to have positive networking experiences during these troublesome times.
Simply put, you must remember that when networking it is not about you (02:24). In other words, the goal of networking should not be to gain a new client or to make a new sale. The goal should be (and the second point) is to be of service. Dyme goes on to give her interpretation of this and gives an anecdote on how she's been using these principles to empower Black entrepreneurs in the San Diego community (05:22).

September 15, 2020 Ep: 48: Joe Budden, Spotify, and Why Should You Care | The First Year Out Podcast
There has been a lot of talk about Joe Budden, his podcast and their non-deal with Spotify. While there is a lot that can be said, and even a trend that can be pointed out over the course of history-- specifically corporations and their treatment of Black creatives and people in general.
However, episode #048 of the First Year Out Podcast will focus primarily on the details that are known about the initial deal between the Joe Budden Podcast and Spotify (01:50), why we should care and what it means for us as creatives (06:18), and lastly host Dyme Witherspoon gives an anecdote about a time where she had to turn down a gig because of a dispute over ownership (13:20).

September 09, 2020 Ep: 47: How to Monetize Your Passion | The First Year Out Podcast
We're off to a late start with episode #047 of The First Year Out Podcast so, Dyme Witherspoon decided to repurpose a recent seminar on how to monetize your passion as creative or #CreativesInBusiness.
One of the few of the key pillars to monetizing your passion includes knowing who you are as a person (04:11). Without knowing who you are it will be nearly impossible to sell someone on a solution that you are offering. Next, we as directors, editors, fashion designers, etc. must be able to speak specifically to the solution that we are offering to our clients, consumers, and customers (08:26). Lastly, to build a career or business around your passion you have to build relationships by first understanding WHO you're speaking to and then speaking their language (10:39).

September 01, 2020 Ep: 46: How to Legally Start a Business | The First Year Out Podcast
It can be daunting when deciding to take those first steps into starting and legalizing your business. As a result, in episode #046 of The First Year Out Podcast, Dyme Witherspoon simplifies that process for new business owners, entrepreneurs, and #CreativesInBusiness such as directors, editors, videographers, graphics designers etc and breaks the process down into 3 separate pillars.
Before anyone can launch a business of any kind there must first be a proven solution! A proven solution means that a particular problem has been identified, solved, and a repeatable process exist for others facing a similar situations (00:54). After you've tested and know that you have something that'll work long term, you can begin making your presence known by branding yourself across both digital and physical spaces such as social media and at networking events (02:50). The last step which also can be intertwined with establishing your presence has to do with legal. Legal isn't as overwhelming as it sounds: this is simply where you set a legal structure such as LLC or SCorp to add a layer of protection between your personal and your business assets, this is where you'll separate your personal funds from your business funds by using a dedicated banks account, this is also where you'll set up how you'll make and receive payments (06:52). Now while this may seem extensive, once broken down into sections it is nothing that is too complicated.

August 25, 2020 Ep: 45: 3 Reasons to Create a Content Calendar for Social Media | The First Year Out Podcast
In episode #045 of The First Year Out Podcast, Dyme Witherspoon speaks directly to business owners, entrepreneurs, and #CreativesInBusiness such as directors, editors, videographers, graphics designers etc about several benefits of developing a content calendar.
One of the benefits of creating a content calendar is that by doing so you allow yourself to free up mental space that could otherwise prevent you from being AS productive (01:46), another reason to craft a decent content calendar is because of the bird's eye view that you get to see of what needs to be done. That aforementioned snapshot allow for you as a business owner and creator to batch produce your content which also happens to aid in storing your mental energy (05:14). The last benefit of developing a content calendar mentioned in this episode of the First Year Out podcast is that it helps with teamwork and expansion. For example, if you are operating as a solepreneur your content calendar along with the system you've developed will facilitate different processes for when you decide to hire an intern or a social media manager (11:05).

August 11, 2020 Ep 43: 3 Ways to Develop Portfolio Work As A New #CreativeInBusiness | The First Year Out Podcast
In episode #043 of The First Year Out Podcast, Dyme Witherspoon speaks directly to new #CreativesInBusiness such as directors, editors, videographers, graphics designers etc on how they can build their portfolios as new #businessowners.
One of the first ways to create portfolio work is by simply creating work for yourself (01:45) and an example of that is the First Year Out Podcast -- I know, very meta. Although I caution against offering free work-- you can always develop portfolio work by arranging an agreement with a business who's brand you believe in so that you can compensated for your time and that you are able to develop work within your ideal industry (06:54), lastly you can always document with a twist (08:40). And what this means is that you document your outings and turn that into material that can allow for you to connect directly with potential clients.

August 04, 2020 Ep 42: What To Consider BEFORE Putting Money Towards Branding | The First Year Out Podcast
In episode #042 of The First Year Out Podcast, Dyme Witherspoon gives a different insight into branding and what needs to be considered before a company decides to put money and deliberate efforts behind promoting their brand.
One of the first considerations that must be made is defining exactly what is a "brand" as we refer to it (01:20), and after realizing that your brand refers to much more than your logo and company's colors we get a clear understanding that our brands is actually a FEELING that our clients and consumers receives after dealings with our company and staff (02:07). With all of that in mind, before we as #CreativesInBusiness and #businessowners must first hammer out the feelings that we want to convey (03:56) and only then will we be able to truly get the most out of our promotional efforts.

July 28, 2020 Ep 41: 3 Benefits of Creating Spec Work | The First Year Out Podcast
In this episode of The First Year Out Podcast, Dyme Witherspoon apologizes for scoffing at the idea of doing spec work the last episode of the First Year Out Podcast. As a result, she decided to speak on a few of the benefits of creating that type of digital asset.
The list of reasons includes the added bonus of creating work for an industry that you care about (03:49), being able to hone your skills by creating the type of work that you would like to get paid for (08:30) and by being able to charge clients more for those assets because you've already investigated the amount of time and effort needed to produce as well as the return in terms of engagement and feedback from others (12:44).
