"If you're good, you can perform. If you're nice, you can come back" - Josh Taerk | Your reputation IS your brand

06/02/23 • 39 min

Today’s episode focuses on the energy exchange between guests and guest service. There’s a similar phenomenon that happens on stage with performance artists - energy is exchanged between audiences and performers. But does that performance stop at the end of the show? At the end of the song? At the end of the album? Maybe not.

I want to introduce a close personal friend of mine who is now considered a part of my family. He is a Billboard-chart topping recording artist from Toronto Canada with several albums under his belt, a well-established singer/songwriter and musician from Toronto, Canada, who just signed with AMG Sony Music....and most recently did a four-day stream on the app Twitch, playing music and raising money for Variety International....he has performed all over Canada, and the UK....with an upcoming tour planned in the US....here is Josh Taerk.

In our interview, we ask him the hard-hitting questions:

Was there ever a time in your life when you had to make a decision based on how your choice would affect your reputation or brand? And how did you handle it?
As an accomplished musician, how important is your reputation to your brand?
For celebrities, what do you think their role is when interacting in the public eye?
Do you know of anyone who was in a situation who had their brand tarnished and had to build it back up?
And how hard would it be to build up your reputation to where it needs to be, positively?
Do you have any advice for anyone wanting to restructure or even maintain their brand/reputation?

Featured song by Josh Taerk called Beautiful Tragedy......check him out on any streaming service! And be sure to look out for Josh’s new single Hold On Virginia Coming out on June 16th.

Les also covers his views on social media posts, what reputation means to him and how he applied reputation management to his brand, what reviews mean to your reputation and shows how some of the worst ways of acknowledging bad reviews can hurt your business instead of help it.
