Who you know is everything. You have heard that, we believe it, and yet so many of us don’t take the time to really invest in relationships. Building genuine connections is Christopher McDonald’s specialty. On paper he is what they call, in the entertainment space, a “talent booker” but between you and me…he is simply a BOSS at loving people and bridging relationships.

At an early age, he knew he had a gift with people and figured out a way to make a living building relationships. Now as a talent booker for Impact Theory, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and leveraging a bunch of other side hustles where relationships are at the heart, Christopher generously shares his journey with us and his philosophy around building a career in a creative industry by keeping people at the center.

In this conversation you will hear about “finding the void” so you can “break into” your industry, how his career improved after the “magical year of no”, and the two lessons his mom gave him before she passed that shaped his career and approach to life moving forward.

Do you ever notice how some people just seem to have opportunities DRAWN to them? However, building momentum in your creative career may be easier than it sounds. Our guest this week is a returning guest, celebrity acting coach, Joseph Pearlman. When I asked him about how to build momentum on stage (and heck, in life) he advised that “You can't effort your way through it.”

If you are a storyteller, and performer, and want to make a living making things- you will love Joseph’s passion to help creatives find the “connection to something other” and live life “emotionally lit up”.

As creators we know we should be collaborating more and intentionally innovating in our industries. However, there isn’t much information out there on how to approach these two things, until today.

Tony Berardo is an Entrepreneur, host of @theberardopodcast, and Co-Founder of @meetcutebox. He joins us to share the practical ways to innovate as a creator and the questions we need to ask ourselves before collaborating. But before all of that though…Tony helps me get out of a bad mood.
