In this Thursday solo I briefly discuss why I took a 3 week break from posting episodes on this podcast. Also, I review my biggest takeaway after watching the popular documentary on Netflix called "The Social Dilemma". This takeaway is something everyone who owns a smartphone should be extremely conscious of.

Times are difficult right now. The pandemic has hit many of us very hard...whether it's financially, mentally, or physically. It's tough to look ahead in a positive light when it seems so many negative events are happening around the world. But if you can be a forward thinker, stay hopeful, and put in effort right NOW to better your life, you will thank yourself later on...

Bianca, like those of us who are old enough to remember, went through a similar crisis back in 2008. She lost her corporate job in Manhattan, and had to figure something out. She eventually came to the conclusion to apply what she had learned about branding/advertising to her own personal blog and brand. After several years of posting, sharing, advising, and engaging with her audience she got to a point where this would definitively become her life's work. She's never looked back and the momentum has been steadily building throughout the years. Tune in today as we get her take what she did and how she's thriving, while also getting her views on key trends/issues that are relevant to our society right now.

In this episode I discuss a very simple question you should be asking yourself every time before you post on social media...and how it's contributed to getting over 1.6 million views on one of my recent video posts...

We all start somewhere. EVERYONE has a beginning. A beginning journey with no followers, no fans, no audience, no brand deals, no money, no respect, etc. Just a pure love for whatever it is you do. It's those that never stop that give themselves a chance to "make it". And the ones who would continue doing their thing even if they don't "make it" are the ones who usually end up winning in the long run.

In this episode DJ Nicole Rose shares how she was doing her best to "adult" at a marketing company when her father pushed her to get a hobby. Little did she know that this hobby would become her life, her identity, and her entire professional being. She shares how she started out playing private parties for friends before eventually leveling up little by little by little in the NYC club scene. Now she not only does DJ gigs, but she's a podcaster, an entrepreneur, and a true thought leader for young women everywhere. Tune in to hear what actions she took to rise up in the niche of female DJs.

In this episode I discuss three updates and draw lessons from them.

I talk about why I took a break last week from publishing an interview, why I'm bringing back the term New Agers, and what's happening with the New Age Lifestyle Academy.

The thought process of "saving your money" until you're 65 is dead. No one wants to do JUST that anymore. When you're older you get tired, and you won't want to do the same things as your younger self once did. This mindset shift in our culture is made possible by technology. To live a life by design means you optimize your decades with the money you earn, and live with no regrets while getting true fulfillment from the memories you experience along the way.

In this episode Bill Perkins, multi-millionaire businessman and now author, communicates why he wrote the book called Die With Zero: Getting All You Can From Your Money And Your Life. He discusses what net fulfillment over net worth means, why memory dividends are so important to us as human beings, and why it's extremely important to plan out your life curve as it relates to time, money, experiences, and happiness. This is one of the only books in existence that directly addresses the concept of life cycle modeling. And while it's a newer concept, it's more relevant than EVER in the New Age. Money isn't the end game. Money is simply the tool which allows you to DO things in life and not waste time. The societal narrative is shifting as far as what it means to live a dream lifestyle. There's far more to it than just working, earning, and saving. That mode of thinking is dead.

There are endless opportunities on social media for people to build personal brands for themselves and create true freedom with the internet. And this especially rings true for people of the creative arts. As long as you're willing to post your work/craft/hobby/interest for the world to see there's no reason why you can't go from "starving artist" to "in demand creator"

In this episode Drew Forde, expert viola musician and social media maverick, details how he's leveraged the internet tools of today to make music his full time gig. He explains how he became a Juilliard Music School graduate, how he fought to make money in the real world after the fact by playing for people in the subway, and how he didn't give up on making his dream lifestyle come a reality. In the creative arts it can be incredibly difficult to find a high paying "regular" job....but through the power of consistent sharing you won't ever need one. If you are someone trying to make your craft your lifestyle, this is a must listen.
