Work From The Inside Out

Corey Blake is the publisher of Conscious Capitalism Press and the founder and CEO of Round Table Companies (RTC), a storytelling company. Prior to starting RTC in 2005, Corey was a professional actor in Los Angeles, acting in one of the 50 greatest Super Bowl commercials of all time and guest starring on numerous popular television shows including Buffy the Vampire Slayer, The Shield, and Joan of Arcadia. His work with books and graphic novels has yielded 15 independent publishing awards and mentions/features in the NY Times, WSJ, USA Today, Inc., Forbes, and Wired. Corey is also the creator of the Vulnerability Wall and the Vulnerability is Sexy™ card game. His documentary of the same name won 2017 Addy and Hermes awards for branded content.

Corey started his career as an actor in LA and within a few years was on the path to success with several high profile commercials and roles in primetime TV shows under his belt. He also began to produce his own small projects behind the camera, but something wasn’t feeling right to him. He was drawn to making his own way and the acting route was not one of autonomy. He moved to Chicago and started his own company and began other creative projects, leaving acting behind and hasn’t looked back. Today, he works with authors and leaders to promote their work and brands with his team at the Round Table Companies. He feels he is able to blend his creative instincts with his deeper needs to put his stamp on all that he does.

In this episode we discuss:

• How Corey caught a break in the acting industry and then moved into directing and producing.
• His experience appearing in an award-winning SuperBowl Commercial, a primetime TV series, and a major motion picture.
• How Corey is an avid supporter and sponsor of Conscious Capitalism and has appeared on their main stage at the last seven national events.

A natural and authentic teacher, Chris Badgett has used that inclination in every business he’s started or mentored. Through video and a successful podcast, Chris shares his extensive knowledge, not just of online learning systems, but of business models and more. Chris is the CEO of LifterLMS, a tool that encompasses the needs of the modern membership course creator. This tool allows you to create an integrated membership site.

Post-graduation, he landed in Alaska where he learned the dog mushing business and on the side began to teach himself how to build websites. Today, Chris lives on an organic farm in Maine with his wife and kids, where he runs his company, LifterLMS and hosts a podcast, LMScast. He is proud of the team he has built and to help others get what they want.

In this episode we discuss:

• How Chris discovered his love of learning in college after adolescence in which he felt unfocused.
• Upon graduating from college he took off, living in the back of his car, and pursued what he loved while discovering his next steps.
• His early experience working in Colorado and then in Alaska with sled dogs, learning the mushing business, and working on a glacier in Alaska.
• How he has not been afraid of starting at the bottom and growing up, and how that mindset has influenced his life.
• Chris’ valuable insight into rediscovering the thread that lights you up in order to determine your purpose.
• His love for his business and how he feels like he is living a dream on his organic farm in Maine with his wife and children.
