Story World Explorers

This week’s guest is our new friend, Brian Bogert! Brian is a passionate human behavior and performance coach, speaker, business strategist, top sales professional and philanthropic leader who believes in helping growth-minded individuals achieve the best version of themselves: their most authentic selves. Brian teaches how to leverage radical authenticity and awareness to create the intentional life you’ve been dreaming of, but have struggled to create. His revolutionary strategy—embrace pain to avoid suffering—has helped individuals and companies break beyond their normal to achieve the success in life and business that they’ve always wanted.

We spoke about value creation, how you can’t predict viral content, and how important it is to understand other peoples (or your audiences) perspectives.

We also had a ton of laughs throughout the conversation and two (2) predictions one by both Frank and Brian. Frank’s prediction was on Ocean Spray’s Super Bowl Ad and Brian’s about the synergy between us and a connection, Kevin Seo, on a future podcast.

It’s the perfect conversation to end season 1 of In Conversation! Seriously, amazing.

This week’s guest is our friend, Asher Ahmahd Waldron! Asher is a musician and yoga instructor focusing on bringing physical and mental balance to musicians. We spoke about the importance of artists health, how art is not easy, and how discouraging it is as an artist not to be valued enough to be compensated accurately.

We also had laughs about a devious plan to expose people asking musicians to perform with no notice for exposure, a new architect named Frank Lloyd Bright, and musing about how awkward instruments are to play.

A Zen and hilarious conversation!

Join us, writer/creator Justin Burns, and actress Ireon Roach as we explore their story world of The Come Up! Winner of best dramatic pilot and best dramatic actress at Catalyst Content Festival, The Come Up is a unique limited series following three Chicago high schoolers who use slam poetry to navigate their increasingly complicated lives. Inspired by the creator and cast's time going to high school together in Chicago Public Schools, this inspiring character study offers a glimpse into the mental states of teenagers struggling to find themselves in a city where it's easy to be lost.

The power of this story is in how this group of friends band together through tragedy, finding their strength in their voices through slam poetry. We often forget the stress there is on a high schooler, especially one who is under constant threat of school closings, teacher walk outs, and other budgetary issues that have nothing to do with them. As we dove into the world, we were able to identify mental health and communities in Chicago already engaged in slam poetry went hand in hand in building their audience.

It was a great, Chicago-focused episode!

Join us and transmedia producer, Jeff Gomez as we explore the story world of Ultraman! An IP that has existed since the 1960’s, Ultraman has gone through 3 generations with 16 total Ultraman reincarnations. Ultraman is the Japanese Superman, hailing from Nebula M78, who defend humanity against a legion of destructive giant monsters and scheming aliens called Kaiju.

While we spoke on some of the lore and current storylines of Ultraman, we primarily focused on the backend of transmedia (Jeff Gomez doesn’t need our help with content) and all the great things his company, Starlight Runner, are doing to engage American audiences with an iconic Japanese IP. They are developing an audience building platform, Iceberg Theory, that creates an interactive live streaming experience, which has grown their audience during the pandemic. Soon to be available to all creators, the goal of the platform is to help creators build audiences with new IP.

In addition to Ultraman and its transmedia workings, we spoke about how any story world needs to find its Apostles and the potential of the metaverse.

Take a listen with a notepad, you’ll want it!

Join us and creator Zack Morrison as we explore his story world, Canusa Street! Canusa Street is a 30-minute comedy series written specifically for network tv, much like a Parks and Rec. The story takes place in an absurd small town cut in half by the Vermont/Quebec border following a jaded US Border Patrol attempts to solve local cases while maintaining a fierce rivalry with her twin sister in the Canadian Mounties.

This pilot explores the absurdity of the small town which is split in half by the Canada/US border. Throughout much of its history the border didn’t matter, but after the 9/11 attacks the border began to be enforced. This forcibly highlighted the differences between being an American and Canadian in a town where your neighbors, even half of your house, may be on the other side of the border. Cansua Street aims to showcase the small differences between everyone that we take such pride in, but ultimately don’t mean anything.

We spoke about these strange hills we choose to die on, came up with Zack’s TikTok and podcast strategy, and had a bunch of laughs about an underground poutine speakeasy.
