E156 - Keith Hayden - US Air Force veteran, teacher, author, podcaster and avid language learner

In the world of business, “different” is sometimes prefable to “better.” My guest today, Keith Hayden, is a prime example of this. He is an author and is doing incredibly unique things online to promote his fiction book.

Keith has come up with a fantastic way to break his 500-page novel down into bite-sized chunks for social media. He has created an audio drama version of Cereus & Limnic and is combining that with live streams where he goes deep on the book writing process. But how should he go about getting more eyeballs on his content?

The inspiration for a lot of what Keith is doing is the sense of belonging he felt when he was in the military. He wants to recreate that for his audience, which is very smart. I had a blast talking to him, and this is an inspiring chat for all of us looking to build loyal, targeted audiences. Enjoy!

EPISODE 154 - B Sedgwick - Poetry, Coffee Shops and Spirit Moxie

About the Author

B Sedgwick had her first poem published at age 7 and has been playing with words ever since. As part of that journey she studied creative writing in Alaska, taught poetry in North Dakota, and been published in such diverse places as "The WItness," "Lilliput Review," and "Five-two Poetry." In 2013 she founded Spirit Moxie (www.spiritmoxie.com) where she writes conversation posts on how we can make the world a better place. Her recent book (which you can find listed with Sally B. Sedgwick as the author) "Moxie Moves: 10 easy ways to make a powerful difference" supports this vision. But poetry is her first love and her default writing genre at random coffee shops and bars

E153 - Tracy Lea Carnes - Behind the Scenes of Sundance Film Festival with her new book The Darlings of Sundance

Our Guest: Tracy

A fun fact about me was that she was a finalist in the Chris Moore Challenge during the first season of HBO’s Project Greenlight with a 60 second comedy spoof that I wrote and produced. My political satire has also appeared nationally in The Huffington Post. My one-act play, UNDERSTANDING POLLY, won a 24-hour playwriting contest a few years ago. As for screenwriting, I studied under Lew Hunter at his colony. Spielberg calls Lew “the best screenwriting teacher going.”

The Book: When struggling midlist author, Austen Landry, receives the chance of a lifetime to interview mega-star Radley Seager at the Sundance Film Festival, she jumps at the opportunity only to get caught up in the glamour, drama, danger, and secrets that Seager's entourage brings into Austen's orbit. This chance of a lifetime will change Austen's life forever.

Austen's cinematographer best friend, a contemplative director, a rising starlet, an elusive stalker, a publisher and studio head power couple, and Austen's vanilla boyfriend from back home round out the cast of characters. Through the eyes of Austen we glimpse a unique and unbridled view into the glamorous inner workings of the Sundance Film Festival - the multi-million-dollar deals, the exclusive star-studded parties, the gifting suites, the hot-tubs, and, of course, the swag.

Does Austen return home to New Orleans with something much more valuable than anything a gifting suite full of swag could ever give her? A week can change everything!

E152 - Keith Blakemore-Noble, Author of AntiManipulation - Avoid the Pit of Despair in Sales

About our guest:
Multi-time award-winning international speaker. Multi-time best-selling author. World’s #1 Fear Strategist. Creator of Mindset Mastery.

I am all of these, but I am also someone who used to be utterly terrified of speaking with strangers, and who allowed this fear to hold his life back for decades.

Until one panic attack too many, which forced me to realise I needed to Do Something.

The Book: WHEN YOU BUY SOMETHING, ARE YOU BUYING BECAUSE YOU WANT TO, OR BECAUSE THEY WANT YOU TO?

AND COULD YOU EVEN SPOT THE DIFFERENCE?

There are countless unscrupulous individuals and businesses out there, each with a very strong vested interest in you buying their stuff – whether that’s products, courses, services, or even ideas, beliefs, and theories.

So strong is their need for you to buy from them, that they will stop at nothing in their attempts to manipulate you into buying.

Imagine if you could find out about their approaches, so that you could protect yourself?

That’s the premise behind the new book AntiManipulation, which is coming soon from the international best-selling author of The Masks We Wear and the Winning In Life And Work series.

It’s time to put the balance of power back into your hands!

E149 - Dr. Heather Browne - Faith-based Psychotherapist and Award-winning Poet and Writer

Hi! I'm Dr. Heather
I've been a psychotherapist and a mother for 25 years.  I love both roles deeply.  I am excellent at helping people change sticky thought processes and see the other side of challenging situations. They call me the "reframe queen". My specialties are couples communication and intimacy, grief and loss, spirituality and faith, and transforming lives into expressions of beauty and joy.

 There is no stuck.  We just see it that way. Changing our perspective changes our experience.  I am incredibly grateful for my sharp mind, a fast wit, and a massive amount of energy and light. I am here to show you that you can lighten and enlighten your load. Or just dump it. I use metaphor, storytelling, imagery, and humor in my work. You will find me approachable, smart, deeply compassionate, with a goofy side. 

 I have been published in Inc. Magazine, Insider Magazine, Toronto Sun,  Psychology Today, Focus on the Family's "Thriving Family", Light + Life, and hundreds of journals and reviews.  I was selected out of 1000's to be the Relationship Expert on DayBreak OC for a television season and have been interviewed several times on ABC7 news. I am currently creating an on-line Communications course.  I am an active YouTuber, supporting our community in relationship, communication, and self-love. 

 My greatest desire is to support you in drawing closer to your true self, your inner wisdom, and your purpose. Our lives are an amazing adventure and blessing, given freely to us to explore and to share love, our uniqueness, and our stories. Let me encourage and empower you in sharing yours.
