Today our guest is actress, singer, dancer, choreographer Madelon Curtis . Madelon's extensive background in professional dance, theatre, and motion pictures, coupled with her vast storehouse of general information gleaned from her world travels, synergize into a rare and intensely focused perspective reflected in her uncommonly imaginative work. We have conducted an interview with her. From performing arts to design and marketing, what do you think are your greatest strengths/talents? I feel that my organizational skills along with my communications skills, confidence, sense of professionalism and intense discipline serve me in all capacities and areas of life. I predominantly use these skills both as an actor and as a teacher . Actors, as storytellers, are instruments of communication. Earning a living as an actor is difficult because of the competition and limited number of roles. I feel I possess resiliency which helps with well-being in the competitive world of acti...

Maria knows eighteen languages and she developed a unique teaching method for fast learning “ Implications for Upgrading Accelerated Learning Practices In Educational Systems ”. We have conducted an interview with her. Is fast learning for a certain age, culture or group of people? Fast learning can only take place if students are physically and mentally ready to learn and teachers have the proper teaching tools and techniques for this fast paced learning. Although there are many methods and materials online and offline related to fast learning processes, one cannot apply these methods easily across different cultures. Based on my education and experience, I believe despite age, gender, ge...

They are Millennials targeting other young people with their career advancement (résumés, cover letters, LinkedIn) business, who are underemployed or unemployed. We have conducted an interview with them. Why is it important to 'career hack' to succeed in today's context? It's absolutely critical to hack your career because job applicants today are facing unprecedented levels of competition. When many open positions have over 500 applicants, you need to stand out or you may face underemployment, unemployment, a job beneath your qualifications, or an extreme amount of time devoted to job hunting - often with little to show for it.

Nothing Happens All the Time

Image
Edmund Mahon is a writer who is currently working law enforcement. He lives in Utah, USA. He recently published a book titled Nothing Happens All the Time . We have conducted an interview with him. What did you learn while writing this book about the future? Why did you choose such a setting? The thing I learned while writing this book about the future is that I am not Nostradamus. Which is why I didn’t bother to invest heavily, or even lightly, into purchasing scrying or soothsaying tools to write this book. I chose the future for the story because, right now, it’s not something that’s entirely set. The choices to be made or, that are being made, to bring about the events portrayed in the book into reality are always a possibility because everything is interconnected. Take a look at the current events of our times and one can easily see that the futuristic events contained within the book could easily be played out prior to the setting of the book. The world is the v...

Nothing Happens Until The Meeting Is Set

Image
We had a talk with John McKee about his newest business book " Nothing Happens Until The Meeting Is Se t ". Who or what have you read that has inspired you into writing this book, "Nothing Happens Until the Meeting is Set"? I was inspired by the Original Shark Tank Kevin Harrington after attending a Think Tank event in Coral Springs, Fla. December 2015. Kevin shared advice on his 5 key steps to become a key influencer. One was to write a book on what you know as your niche. Another step was to read a book called "Key Person of Influence by Kevin Harrington and Daniel Priestly. Why is the 'meeting' important in your book and which qualities do you want to influence? The meeting is the client's confirmation of interest. It turns your suspect into a prospect. Without the meeting there is no sale. It is the most important step in selling. I want to stress the importance of putting consistency into your effort when trying to arrang...

Interview with Erin Carere

Image
Erin Carere is a singer, actress, and writer in Los Angeles. She just booked a part in an experimental film project written and directed by THE maestro director, Francis Ford Coppola! We have conducted an interview with Erin. From acting to writing to being a Classical-pop crossover, which is your favorite way of expression and why? Oh, goodness! People have been asking me these sorts of questions for a while, but I really consider myself a renaissance woman . You know, I mean, I bet no one ever asked Leonardo DaVinci if he preferred painting to anatomy to inventing to being a chef- as he was all of those! I may not be Leonardo DaVinci but I AM a woman who gets involved with 100% passion in whatever project I am focused on- even when that may be two or three at a time! So for me, I love acting, writing, and singing all so much and while it would be FUN in FANTASY to be “just” a classical-pop crossover singer, I keep finding that through writing and acting singing is inspire...

Image
Tonight our guest is Foteini Dimitriou, founder of Yoga Family Violet Alignment . She is a Yoga teacher trainer certified by Yoga Alliance based in Athens, Greece. What are your unique qualities as a Yoga trainer? As a yoga trainer , I believe the best tool is the love that I have for what I do and for the participants of the classes I teach.

Self Limiting Beliefs: You’re Too Fat, Too Old, Too Broke, Too Ugly

Image
Shane Paul Walker from Colorado is a life coach, author, and motivational speaker. We have conducted an interview with him about his new book: ' Self Limiting Beliefs: You’re Too Fat, Too Old, Too Broke, Too Ugly ' . What do you think are the issues for people with self limiting beliefs? Beliefs are responsible for where we are in life. If a person is not happy where they are, it is probably due to their limiting beliefs; so people with limiting beliefs have all kinds of issues, so to speak. For example, a person who believes in scarcity will never live an abundant life. A person who believes they are too old for a career change will never go after their dream job. A person who has struggled with their health for most of their life may believe they will never be in great shape. People act or don’t act because of their beliefs, so you can see all the missed opportunities that can arise. Limiting beliefs affect us all but we can overcome them. How did you come up wit...

We have conducted an interview with Douglas. What was your filmmaking experience with the horror comedy “Wild Men”? Wild Men is about a hit reality TV show that looks for evidence of the existence of Bigfoot, but everything is staged. When going on their next expedition the cast and crew are horrified once they run into the real Bigfoot out in the secluded wilderness. Wild Men first became known to me back in 2014 when I was writing movie articles on independent productions. While looking for more potential stories I reached out to a friend in New York who told me a...
