Hahko talks through his story beginning in the Timaru school rooms to the streets of London and back again.

Trying to grow in the music world in this day and age is complicated to navigate. Digitisation has meant there are so many different aspects and skills that musicians need to grow.

Hahko shares with us one of his goals to create a space for artists to be able to talk on their own terms and dictate their own culture, along with many other stories along the way.

Part two coming next week!

Once we figure out how to use it...

The Attention Seeker is adding TikTok to their services, and Stan and Drew chat about TikTok as a growing platform.

There are many people out there, like Drew, who don't yet understand the breadth of its reach and use. Stan predicts a shift into more TikTok-style videos on LinkedIn and is getting ready to move his clients towards that style of content.

This week Everything is Grey has gone international as Drew tunes in from Ojai, California!

In this episode, Stan and Drew are joined by their first guest, CEO, and Co-founder of Influential U, John Patterson.

The guys continue their discussion of navigating the Influential U transaction cycle and pick John's brain about the pitfalls of certain personality types within that cycle.

Somehow we nabbed a successful music photographer to join our team at The Attention Seeker!  

Chris Morgan tells the story of how he got thrown into the New Zealand music industry and photography. 

Chris talks about how his photography skills evolved and the importance of understanding the set and the environment while giving us an insider perspective on what it's like to be a tour photographer. 

It's such a pleasure to have Chris on board the team and use his unique skill set to make our clients look like rock stars!

It's been a few weeks since our leading ladies have taken the main stage together, but Sian and Shreya are back and better than ever.  This week the discussion is on shoulding - the cognitive distortion of making statements of what should be true, as opposed to reality. It's hard when things don't meet the expectations of your 'shoulds'. But it's important to recognise and understand your boundaries to achieve them.

Is your client ready to sign on the dotted line?

Are you ready to let them?

Contracting is an essential part of business. People often don't realise how important it is to get the process right.

It's easy to jump the gun and sign a client on, but there are many steps that shouldn't be missed. Working with a client can be demanding, so you have to make sure you are all on the same page to move forward.

The worlds getting back to normal post covid.... but is that a good thing?

The pandemic has caused the world to slow down. Being isolated to our corner of the world has meant we've had to look to our own backyard for travel and business opportunities - and Aotearoa didn’t disappoint.

The dilemma Stan and Drew and many other business leaders are facing is - what business opportunities for overseas travel will provide value? It’s new territory to navigate, and watching this new normal unfold will be interesting.

After Shreya and Claire's conversation last week, Claire decided to chat with the original Gen-Z TAS member, Sian about maintaining relationships and friendships in this modern age world. 

40% of people are in some conversation about a career change or quitting their jobs.

But will a change really bring them the happiness they think it will?

If you have the right mentality there could be a lot of room for growth and development within your current job. It's all about the approach you take to things.

What does a successful relationship look like to you?

We're lucky to have special guest Claire Wallace on Success Stories to talk about maintaining successful relationships.

Shreya and Claire share their experiences on self-love, self-awareness, growth and even letting go of friendships/relationships. Relationships grow and adapt as you do, you need to learn to adjust your communication and your effort accordingly.
