A conversation with independent filmmakers Adam and Kristin Steigert

1 hour

I had the unique privilege to have a conversation with Independent Filmmakers and husband and wife Adam Aka (Indie Adam) and Kristen Steigert who have brought us such films as Fang and Horrific Evil Monsters.

So you may wonder why would a podcast mainly geared toward business feature  independent filmmakers.  Simply put, filmmaking is their business.

In fact, back in 2017 , along with another partner Christopher Burns Jr., started a film company named 388 studios. They have the same structure as any business- they take a creative idea- they produce that idea then take the product to market- and face the same challenges along the way.

Key Takeaways

• The challenges of filmmaking
• You have to do something different if you want to stand out
• Passion overrides everything
• The freedom of staying independent and self producing
• Know your audience (market)
• Grab you audience in the first 15 seconds
• Give your audience what THEY want
• PLUS we learn about their individual journeys into filmmaking

Adam and Kristin  make large scale slasher horror B movies. And these films are, in my opinion, budding cult classics. Curious what I mean by large scale movies?

A conversation with Zack Abbott, Microbiologist and CEO of ZBiotics

54 minutes

What if I told you that you can go to the upcoming holiday office parties- drink as much as you want and not wake up with a hangover? 

Well that's exactly what my guest in this episode has made possible.

I had a conversation with microbiologist and Co- founder and CEO of ZBotics, Zack Abbott. 

They have formulated a genetically engineered probiotic drink that, with a little bit of pre planning, you can indulge in your favorite alcoholic beverages and bypass the after effects the next morning.

However, this is just the beginning. They have several other projects going on that can make a huge impact on health and wellness.

Some key takeaways:

• Gut health and the microbiome
• How acetaldehyde, a by product of consuming alcohol, is toxic to the body and is the main source of the "morning after"
• How stress, mood, and even lack of sleep can affect our gut bacteria
• Any biological function on the planet can be programed into a bacteria with genetic engineering
• How Zack looks to things that would benefit his own life for product and business ideas
• The challenges and surprises faced in the three years it took to bring this product to the market
• Seize the morning after the night before!

ZBiotics is the first ever product of its kind to hit the market and remains so today. And as Zack explains, ZBiotics is not making any attempts to promote alcohol abuse or indulgence in any way, but explains that ZBiotics is an important part of drinking responsibly along with other factors.

A conversation with Samantha Johnson, president of NollaCorp Innovative Solutions

51 minutes

I had put out a post a few weeks ago on LinkedIn about looking for guests for the podcast.

I got a few inquiries, but the one that stood out was a woman by the name of Samantha Johnson from Grand Rapids Michigan.

Now whenever someone reaches out to inquire about being a guest I always take a look at their LinkedIn profile to see what kind of value they can offer the listeners. And I saw Samantha's profile and noticed she offers consultation services for client acquisition and retention and for re-inventing business processes- something near and dear to my heart. 

Now, I don't do a whole lot of research into my guests. I used to- I used to prepare questions and notes and it really slowed the flow of the podcast- NOW I just get a few notes and topics I'd like to discuss and basically go from there and have a great conversation.

I have to tell you I was not prepared for the stories she shares about her experience in business, investing, and day trading (being self taught) and everything she has already accomplished, with seemingly insurmountable odds stacked up against her.. all at the tender age of only 24..

Some key takeaways:

• How she built her first business and sold it 5 years later
• College isn't for everyone
• Everything is a process
• The RED FLAGS signalling change in processes is needed
• How she became an expert in client acquisition
• Day trading has become her passion
• Keep reading and keep yourself educated
• Her journey in the business world as a gay, black woman with no formal education

You'll not want to miss this powerful and inspiring episode!

A conversation with Michael Ray, Founder of Smile Project Louisville


36 minutes

Doing this podcast has been one of the joys in my life for the past year. 

In the intro I say this podcast is "dedicated to changing the way we look at outsourcing to the Philippines"- and it is. However the goal has always been more than just getting the word out about what we do here at TeleworkPH. 

When I choose my guests its because I know they have something unique to share. I have met some amazing people that have shared great advice and experiences. And that's really what its all about.

And today’s guest is no exception. 

Michael Ray founder of Smile Project Louisville. 

If you’re not connected to Michael on LinkedIn or seen any of his videos featuring his daughter, Maddie, who was born with downs syndrome I highly recommend that you do.

Michael not only committed himself to raising Maddie, but has endured what I would consider every fathers nightmare and that's the loss of a child.

Some key takeaways:

• We are the product of the choices we make
• We smile because life is hard, not because it's easy
• Create the change you want to see in your life

Michael shares his story with me and the magical moment when he decided to found Smile project..and be the reason someone smiles today...
