make an impact

Creativity & Feelings - Sometimes a "match made in Heaven"... and sometimes not. While some of us creatively thrive no matter what our feelings happen to be at the moment, others find that they can only be creative when they feel "up" (or maybe "down"). This especially is true for musicians, who sometimes feel pressure, from within ourselves or from others, to be creative when they don't particularly "feel like it". In this episode, host Paul Gibbs talks about the relationship between creativity and feelings, especially depression, and ways to help move past the control that our feelings can have on our creativity.

It's 2023 and DIY musicians abound. Technology has leveled the playing field and the Independent Musician, now more than ever, has every chance for success. So, why would anyone still want to be signed to a traditional record label? We discuss the pros and cons of the traditional music labels and why there still might be a place for them in your music career. Martin Guitar just introduced a new short-scale junior bass. And we've got more music trivia for you!

Elon Musk recently purchased Twitter and its popularity as a platform for sharing and discovering new music continues to grow, but the App continues to be singled out for its "rampant infringement of copyrighted music". What does this mean for you and the music industry, and what should you do about it? Join us as we discuss this hot topic, some entertaining music trivia, and more! 

Artificial Intelligence is growing in leaps and bounds. And there are so many great tools available now for the independent musician, artist, and creator. But what are the implications of these technologies and how are they affecting the music industry? What are the dangers for copyright infringement, and who is looking out for the individual creator? All this and more in this episode of the Artist Impact Podcast! 

In this episode, you'll discover:

• To have a remarkable business you must use leverage
• It is almost always a WHO not a HOW question
• Let the data tell you what to do and where you need to focus 
• Each domain in a lever, lacking depth in any role is a point of exposure for you
• Take time to answer the one question that will change the game for you 
  
   

Episode Highlights

02:39 - The importance of building the bridge of leverage to allow yourself to cross to the other side of success and remain in it.  

06:39 - Metrics help identify areas of focus in a data-driven business; leverage in marketing, sales, delivery, caregiving, and team building is essential for success. 

10:23 - Assess business functions, who is responsible for them and if it is optimized. Look ahead and create a best case scenario using leverage for growth.

13:37 - Internal, external and digital marketing should be leveraged, and there should be multiple people handling conversion, sales, delivery and team building. 

18:36 - Asking what happens to your business if you take 90 days off is an important question to consider for a better quality of life. 

21:46 - Success Partner, Dr. Joseph Esposito joins Dr. Pete discusses how AlignLife’s team provides valuable marketing and operations services to save doctors time and resources, allowing them to focus on providing excellent care.

We hear the question all the time, "How can I get my music out there if I don't have any fans and followers?" Well, the truth is, we all have to start somewhere, so the first thing to do is - start somewhere! In this episode, we share some ideas on how to start building your followers and fan base by "seeding the tip jar", by posting interesting and consistent content, and more. And we talk about the enemy's #1 weapon that we all have be on guard against! 

If the last 10 songs you wrote are all in 4/4, the key of C and at 90 bpm, you just might be...you guessed it... stuck in the songwriting rut! Now there's nothing wrong with a little consistency in your songwriting. After all, if you're a country gospel artist, your fans probably aren't going to spend a lot of time or money on a heavy metal tune should you decide to put one out there. But putting some variety in your writing is a great way to keep your creativity flowing and your fans growing! So in this episode, we talk about ways you might use to get out, and keep out, of that songwriting rut! 

There are seven keys to success. We cover them in this show.

Do you have the right mindset?

Are you making an impact?

Are you living a life of avoidance rather than a life of growth and success?

We tell ourselves stories to interpret life as we know it. Understand that the stories and rules you have in your life create a life of avoidance or success.

Professional Performance Expert Gregory Offner Jr and I share an understanding of how we look at the world of work, your mindset, and how your perception and perspective impact your performance (and success).

There is a simple and powerful way we can all leave behind a legacy! We don't think about it until we hear the stories of how this simple decision impacts generations of people. April is organ donation month and we want to honor this opportunity by sharing an organ donation story that will keep you thinking for days. Troy Mitchell was a true American hero who died tragically in a homicide case. Kelly was his wife and together they had seven boys. This story that could have had no redemptive story other than Troy's faith will live for generations in the five lives that were saved by Troy's decision to donate his organs. Listen to Kelly share the stories of those she's met who have a new life because Troy and she chose to give right up to the very end of Troy's life.

The first in our International Women's Impact Project series- exploring how women are positively impacting the world and the courage it takes to do so. Be inspired to appreciate the impact you are making in your own way.

This week’s guest is Lori Mihalich-Levin, healthcare lawyer & CEO of Mindful Return, which focuses on transition back to work after parental leave, work-life integration & mindfulness for busy professionals. She’s the author of Back to Work After Baby & host of Parents at Work podcast. 

Growing up in a family where domestic violence, alcohol & depression were the norm Lori found survival methods that took her well into a career as a healthcare lawyer. But on facing the truth about being raised around domestic violence, her focus shifted, as she began to think about starting a family of her own.

 She became interested supporting women going back to work after having babies, and started looking at what helps people create an enriching work/life integration; developing tools to help them bring down their anxiety levels.

When she rolled out her business and support programme Mindful Return, she gave people something tangible to hold onto so that it would be possible to intentionally craft a calm home, even in the crazy swirls of life.

 Her approach with the four life anchors of mindfulness, logistics, leadership and community is relevant to all of us, not just working parents.

Thank you so much Lori for successfully helping more than a thousand working parents navigate the back-to-work transition from parental leave so that especially working mums can advance their leadership role while raising a child. Thanks also for showing us that it is possible to be a mum and become a power leader in the workplace, whilst maintaining a mindful approach to work/life integration

I thought the best way to start the podcast off would be to share my story! I am going to bring you through surfacing events in my life thus far that have shaped me into who I am today! My childhood was great! I was a very happy kid with two loving parents. I have three siblings that have tested me but I always know that they have my back! 

My struggles started at a young age with learning issues. I had to redo kindergarten and couldn’t remember much after what I learnt after a full day of school. Luckily I had my parents who taught me after school everyday. In grade 6 I got tested for learning disabilities for the second time. Finally, then I was diagnosed with dyslexia, poor working memory, and high anxiety. Once these were identified I was able to go to a school called Foothills Academy where I learnt that my disabilities were actually my abilities! 

“Your Learning Disabilities are nothing to be ashamed of. It is your superpower! My disability is actually my ability to do so many great things! It’s okay I learn differently! My mindset changed to thinking I was dumb and couldn’t learn to I am smart and I have a gift. I have something that is special about me and when I realized this then everything changed!”

Going through high school there were many issues with friends and coping with mental health issues. I share what I did as my extracurricular activities and how I started my own business at 16. I talk about my grade 12 dream of becoming valedictorian that got taken away from me and my year ended early due to the pandemic. I am extremely grateful for all the good and bad experiences I have had and I am so excited I can share this with others to inspire and motivate!

Sending love and joy your way!
