Richard Foos: The Man Who Built Rhino Records by Betting on What Everyone Else Overlooked

What do you do when the music industry overlooks the songs people still love? If you’re Richard Foos, you build Rhino Records.

In this conversation, Richard joins Christine Blosdale to share how a small Los Angeles record store grew into a beloved record label. He tells stories about finding audiences for forgotten music, the unexpected success of a doo-wop box set, and taking that same creative instinct into film with Shout! Studios.

And yes, there are a few stories you might not expect, including buying a record label from people he later learned were connected to the mob.

Richard’s journey is a reminder that you don’t always need to follow the industry’s lead. Sometimes the opportunity is in what everyone else has passed over.

In this episode, we talk about:

How Rhino Records got its start

Why overlooked music found a new audience

The surprising success of a doo-wop box set

Richard’s adventures in the music business

Bringing Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas to the screen

What it takes to trust an idea before anyone else sees its potential

Sonic Branding for Small Business: Make Your Brand Memorable With Sound | Jeff McQuilkin

Host Christine Blosdale explores sonic branding - using sound to make a brand instantly recognizable - on the Expert Authority Coach podcast with guest Jeff McQuilkin, an award-winning composer and founder of Jetstream Sonic, an agency creating custom sonic branding for small businesses.

Jeff explains sonic branding with examples like Netflix’s “ba-dum,” distinguishes it from jingles (written to an ad vs. to the brand), and describes how sound can improve recall, differentiation, and perceived professionalism, citing research that it can raise brand favorability by 25%.

They discuss practical uses across podcasts, social media, YouTube, websites, audiobooks, on-hold/phone systems, and examples like McDonald’s, T-Mobile, Apple startup, AOL, and NBC.

Christine Blosdale interviews media and communication strategist Brooke Hargraves about why entrepreneurs and service providers aren’t connecting despite having websites and social media.

They emphasize the importance of clarity - separating who you are, what you do, and what you know - and the need to articulate who you serve and how you help.

They discuss audience fragmentation as an opportunity to reach niche communities, the value of imperfection, and practical steps: define a specific audience, create a pathway to reach them, and set measurable structures and metrics.

The Expert Authority Coach Podcast Presents: How To Use ChatGPT and AI Without Losing Your Humanity 

Christine Blosdale interviews David Dean, an author and enterprise AI strategist, about how AI has long shaped behavior behind the scenes and is now commoditized through language-based tools. 

Dean argues AI “industrializes” existing organizational behavior, so dysfunction scales unless leaders use AI for organizational self-realization, governance, and authentic leadership. 

They discuss prompting, AI as a symbiotic partner lacking lived experience, ethical risks like voice scams, and the need for regulation, transparency, and intent. Dean warns that communication data can become an e-discovery “behavioral record” for companies. 

They also explore practical future uses like localized AI for home inventory and workplace status updates.

YOUR SENSITIVITY ISN'T THE PROBLEM - IT'S YOUR SUPERPOWER! 

Have you ever been told you're "too sensitive," "too emotional," or "overthinking everything"? What if those qualities weren't weaknesses at all—but some of your greatest strengths?

In this inspiring episode, Christine Blosdale sits down with Sally Reid, Quantum Alignment Coach and author, to explore why highly sensitive people often struggle to trust themselves - and how reconnecting with your intuition can transform your business, relationships, health, and life.

Together they unpack the hidden beliefs and unconscious rules that quietly shape our decisions, the damaging effects of negative self-talk, and why so many people stay stuck despite doing "all the right things."

Sally introduces the idea of becoming a "Super Noticer" - someone who naturally picks up on subtle patterns, energy shifts, and opportunities that others often miss. Rather than suppressing your sensitivity, you'll discover how to harness it as one of your greatest personal and professional assets.

You'll also learn Sally's practical TRUST Method, a simple framework for overcoming overthinking, making aligned decisions, and building greater confidence in yourself.

If you've ever doubted your intuition, struggled with people-pleasing, or wondered why success still feels out of reach despite your best efforts, this episode offers practical wisdom and empowering insights to help you reconnect with your inner authority.

In This Episode You'll Discover:

✔ Why sensitivity is a superpower—not a weakness

✔ The hidden beliefs that quietly sabotage success

✔ How negative self-talk shapes your reality

✔ Why intuition deserves a seat at the decision-making table

✔ How to stop people-pleasing without losing your compassion

✔ The importance of boundaries for highly sensitive people

✔ Sally Reid's TRUST Method for making confident decisions

✔ Simple ways to build greater self-trust and emotional resilience
