  • Artist Blueprint LIVE - Working in Phoenix - May 19th 2024
    May 20 2024
    Filming the conference for the National Health Care for the Homeless Council in Phoenix was an incredibly fulfilling experience. The event brought together dedicated professionals and advocates, all committed to addressing the critical issue of homelessness and healthcare. Capturing the dynamic discussions and insightful presentations on camera was both a privilege and a challenge, as it required meticulous attention to detail to ensure every significant moment was documented. The state-of-the-art venue, with its excellent lighting and acoustics, enhanced the quality of the footage, making it a joy to work in such a professional environment. Through the lens, I was able to witness firsthand the passionate debates, innovative solutions, and collaborative spirit that defined the conference. Beyond the technical aspects of filming, the experience was deeply educational and personally enriching. Engaging with attendees and speakers during breaks provided a deeper understanding of the complexities surrounding healthcare for the homeless population. Hearing their stories and learning about their tireless efforts to make a difference was inspiring. Phoenix, with its unique desert landscapes and vibrant city life, served as a beautiful and fitting backdrop for such an impactful event. The support and camaraderie among the crew and the organizers made the process smooth and enjoyable. Reflecting on the experience, I am grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such an important cause through my work, and I leave with a renewed sense of purpose and a wealth of new knowledge.

  • Tommy Burke - April 30th 2024
    May 1 2024
    We welcome back Tommy Burke to the show!! His book, Not Just Sunglasses and Autographs is a captivating autobiography that follows the author's journey from bar bouncing in Boston to working on award-winning television shows and movies. This is an endearing story of overcoming the odds through dark humor, tenacity, authenticity, and happiness. Initially envisioned as a memoir about a man who had beaten Hodgkin's Lymphoma and lived to tell the tale, the author was then thrown a major curveball with a Parkinson's disease diagnosis. Equal parts pep-talk and gut-punch, this unvarnished and vulnerable memoir-meets-handbook shares lessons learned in life and work. These pages encourage readers to keep moving forward, embrace resilience, step out of their comfort zones, and take life head on.

  • Artist Blueprint - Part 2- The rebirth of Music Marketing - March 12th 2024
    Mar 13 2024
    he landscape of music marketing has undergone a seismic shift in recent years, with traditional methods facing disruption and, in some cases, becoming obsolet. The development of social media platforms and other new technologies has dismantled the old gatekeeping systems, allowing artists direct access to their audiences like never before. Gone are the days when record labels held a monopoly on promotion and distribution. Now, musicians can cultivate their fan base independently, leveraging platforms such as Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube to showcase their talent and engage with listeners on a personal level. This democratization of music marketing has democratized access to success, opening doors for independent artists and fostering a more diverse and dynamic industry. However, with this newfound freedom comes a new set of challenges and opportunities. While social media has empowered artists to connect directly with fans, it has also intensified the competition for attention in an increasingly crowded digital landscape. Successful marketing strategies now require a savvy blend of authenticity, creativity, and data-driven insights to cut through the noise and make an impact. Moreover, emerging technologies such as AI and machine learning offer exciting possibilities for targeted advertising and personalized experiences, allowing artists to tailor their promotional efforts with unprecedented precision. As the music industry continues to evolve in this digital age, those who can harness the power of social media and other new technologies stand poised to thrive in this era of rebirth and innovation.
