Carly Thornock: Half family coach and half interior designer, I'm here for those intentional mamas who want to create meaningful and beautiful homes.  I promise inspiring, cozy vignettes and overwhelm obliteration. I host the Becoming Home Podcast, with new episodes dropping each Thursday. Tune in to learn how to think differently about your space and create your dream house (which includes great relationships-- or it wouldn't be your dream!). Quote #1 "So we live in deep Delta. Where we're off grid, everything is produced by our community, or that's the goal at least. It's a self sufficient, goal oriented community. Right now we have to go to the grocery store every 10 days, make the trek out, back to town. But, it's self sufficient, we're living off the land, we're building these beautiful homes that are...built by us, which feels really fun and cool.  All different kinds of home construction that are super tight as far as energy efficiency goes and relatively inexpensive because we're building with our actual hands with the actual earth. Anyway, it's just so much fun. We love it a lot." Quote #2 "Yeah, we do have a generator. Our solar banks last for four or five days of complete cloud. So that's nice. So we don't usually have to use our generator. We did start turning on our generator this winter when we had like three weeks of really cloudy. snowy weather, but we don't run it often. So it's really, it's really awesome. It's fun." Quote #3 "I love that you call it service. That's how it feels in my soul. Thanks for seeing me. Thanks for seeing the artist in me. That's how it feels. I started out thinking I was going to get into architecture and interior design, something about space and something about visual, physical interaction with it. It's the way that my brain is wired. I'm not really sure, but I love it. I love all aspects of it. And actually I found myself in a marriage and family degree program at college because I got a full ride scholarship to this amazing university that didn't have an interior design or architecture program. So I went with my gut. We went to the university, found myself studying the family. And I realized that there's not a lot of research about how the family uses their space. There's a lot of research about how schools use space, how prisons use space, how hospitals use space. But we don't really talk about how houses or our homes, right, where we grow and develop and have our most sacred connection, and how our house can facilitate that."  Carly's Links:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/carly-tho... https://www.carlythornock.com/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...   Please subscribe James Youtube channel here! https://tinylink.net/XSGqL Featured song for this episode is "Ride On", check it out on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/5VQzjl...

I had a really great time interviewing Chad in SLC, he opened the door to his methods and his skill in bringing out the best in his clients and business owners.  Dive in deep to this interview and find out how its really done!   About Chad: I am a coach and cornerman to business owners and founders. I thrive in conversation with the restless and relentless. Being a seasoned founder and entrepreneur myself in the media and ad world, I am intimately connected to the unique challenges and hurdles of those pursuing something bigger than themselves in business and relationships. There is reward in discomfort, and I am a living invitation into the discomfort that produces change, growth, and vitality. I live at the foot of the Wasatch range in Utah with my sweetheart of 18 years and my 3 kids. We spend our time camping, hiking, kayaking, mt. biking, and skiing. Pretty much anything that can be done in the wild. Quote #1 "Why you're not getting to where you're getting? It's such a good question. The first thing we need to find out is how they're leading themselves. How do they relate to themselves? Are they telling themselves the truth? And more so than telling themselves the truth, are they willing to see and hear feedback?"   Quote #2 "Because without feedback nothing can change. Nothing new can be created without feedback. And you know what's crazy is that most of these companies, founders have been so good at listening to the feedback in the marketplace for their product or service, but it doesn't always translate to being with human beings in a meaningful way." Quote #3 "I get along with everybody I can talk with anybody. And once I was able to get off of that, all that story that I've made up and that fear of like, oh, what if I am judgmental? Once I got off of that, I could see where in my life judgments had kept me from connecting with other people. Yeah. And that's actually the tool I used to keep safe, quote unquote, safe. If you sense that there's more, there is" Chad's Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chad-brown-leadership-coach-477a7015/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_jd_RNFpeWs   Please subscribe James Youtube channel here! https://tinylink.net/XSGqL Featured song for this episode is "Ride On", check it out on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/5VQzjlHv7qZzyZIOSGkhjU?si=eb0d5a683f2e43d8 For a custom-branded song you can reach James at james@thejamesoconnoragency.com If you wish to have an appointment with James about coaching, use this link. www.calendly.com/dharmic Apple podcast review link Please leave us a 5 Star review, its easy to do, and really helps us out to grow the show! https://digitalhealthtoday.com/support/how-to-review-itunes/ Thank you for doing this my friends!

Quote #1 "I was actually commissioned by Reid Hoffman and Constantin Gurley to write LinkedIn's first book. So we were the publishers of LinkedIn's first book. So I'm familiar with it, with what it's doing, where it's going, the acquisition, all that, and For a long time I've been thinking about writing a LinkedIn newsletter, and I just executed the launch very recently." Quote #2 "Topic. Super cool. It's called Staying Relevant. My primary focus is on credibility. And so, you know, it, I don't use the word credibility in there, but it's credibly staying relevant. So what do you have to do today in, in the pivot point we are in, in the world, and I was under the impression, uh, or I set the goals for myself and, uh, and that. I'd be happy if I got a hundred subscribers. Right? And so, you know,  I was gonna do it Wednesday morning and I said, oh no, let's wait. And I did it Thursday morning and, and about an hour into it, I had 200 subscribers and I'm like, oh, maybe I should change my expectations. So we ended up getting, uh, over a thousand on day one. A week later we're close to 2000, and I just. Shared my next article. And what's nice, James, what's nice about this is my big focus in life is on credibility and for us as humans, to live life more credible and as corporations to instill an idea of credibility and culture of it inside the company." Quote #3 "Before Mark Andreessen put Mosaic on top of the internet and all of a sudden we started seeing it and, and when 50 million users in the US first started using the internet, oh my god, it's real. So what I'm gonna say is chat. GPT is the mosaic of ai, right? Chat, GPT allowed us to see what AI can do. It's possible that chat, GPT will have the same fate as Mosaic, right? Companies still out there made good deals, but it's not the big brand. Open AI may produce other things that, produce value. The point is, though, for us who are listening to this right now, tomorrow's gonna be different than today. And how can you stay relevant? And,  that's basically the, the topic  I'm personally exploring as we all should,  for the clients I work with."

Quote #1 First of all, what if it all goes right, what do we do at the end of that? Isn't it fantastic? The title alone snagged me the minute I saw it, and I hadn't even heard the melody or the chorus yet, so I knew that was the song  Was that in Nashville, Nashville, Tennessee?  Yes, it's Sound Emporium Studio. I was so honored. It was written by amazing writers in Nashville. I was pitched a lot of music When we went into the song searching project a thousand songs, my a and r manager went through to bring down to a couple hundred that went to my producer and myself to weed through pitch sessions virtually. Quote #2 We definitely have a different flow. I born and raised up in the LA area. I know what you're talking about. We still are up there to visit all the time. Family all lives up in the LA area, and then we come back to San Diego and it's okay. I can breathe. Yeah, you pay to live here, but boy, I can breathe. Yeah. Quote#3 I was always singing, started singing at the age of three, started playing piano at the age of three. I was singing in cover bands. I grew up in the worship bands and the church choirs, school choirs, all of those things. So music was always the core root of my passion and my being. But, And as anything else, we have to provide. We have to make a living and we have to do it well. And sales and real estate and mortgage really did that for me.   Amys Social Links: https://www.amyscruggsmedia.com/ https://www.amyscruggsmusic.com/ https://www.instagram.com/amyscruggsmedia/ https://www.facebook.com/amyscruggsmedia/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/amyscruggs/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/4uxaWu0fnDyGx2I9lpczCP?si=Crl6aVURS2qTEKMXsNjstA https://linktr.ee/amyscruggs   Please subscribe James Youtube channel here! https://tinylink.net/XSGqL   Featured song for this episode is "Ride On", check it out on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/5VQzjlHv7qZzyZIOSGkhjU?si=eb0d5a683f2e43d8   For a custom-branded song you can reach James at james@thejamesoconnoragency.com   If you wish to have an appointment with James about coaching, use this link. www.calendly.com/dharmic   Apple podcast review link Please leave us a 5 Star review, its easy to do, and really helps us out to grow the show! https://digitalhealthtoday.com/support/how-to-review-itunes/ Thank you for doing this my friends!

Cassie Shea, Co-Founder of Powerhouse Leaders HQ comes from deep roots on Hope Avenue in Santa Barbara, California.  Growing up in the corporate world gave her the chance to climb up the ladder fast before she pivoted to entrepreneurship.  Now, Cassie and business partner Brooke help CEOs looking for a change - those who don't know where to start or how to pivot. Prediction: in 10+ years, everyone will be a solopreneur and contracting out part time at various companies. The W2 employee model is dying, fast. Imagine if you could get paid (more) to do only the work you love, while filling the exact need a company has. After talking to hundreds of people about this, I found the common thread is "I don't know what my business would be." My take? You already have skills to monetize, you're just not connecting the dots. If you aren't sure what your biz idea would be, here's the best way to get started: 1. Inventory your super skills (what you're better at than anyone else) 2. Do some research on how others have monetized their skills in the knowledge economy 3. Dissect the research into categories, and look for patterns 4. Figure out your key values (in life, not just biz) 5. Map how your values align to having an online business (what's your why) 6. Take a stab at creating one biz idea from scratch   7. Tell everyone you know, and a bunch of people you don't know 8. See if you get any bites of interest 9. Learn from what everyone says (what questions they ask, what doesn't make sense to them, what parts do resonate) 10. Learn how to create an offer based on what you learn and get paid to test it (my fave step = getting paid to do your ongoing market research) We're taught for so long to learn skills to get promoted and get raises in a traditional job. I'm passionate about helping you figure out how to do this and make more money for you (and, sometimes that's a raise in combo with a new income stream). You don't have to leave corporate to do this. It's not all or nothin'. You can start today. If you'd like help figuring out what online business would work for you, DM me "biz plan" and I'll share how I've worked with people to go from "I don't know what I'd do" to full plan in 2 hours.

C.K. Collins, aka Kelly, was an award-winning publisher and owner of a hyperlocal news publishing company. She sold her company and retired from the industry in 2021. Believing that travel feeds the soul and grows the heart and mind, Kelly embarked on a two-year travel sabbatical to write her book, The Swipe Right Effect: The Power to Get Unstuck. Kelly now leads a movement called The Momentum Effect where wise women can connect and build their next chapter in life. Quote #1 “ That meant I needed to sell my business. So in Tennessee, it's assets must be split and so that meant the business would have to be split and I didn't want that to happen. Yeah. So I, I did a lot of soul searching. I went on this big long hike in Spain, and on that hike I just kind of laid out. Really just spent the next six months, just trying. I couldn't think too far ahead. Yeah, at one point I was six days I think, and so I came home, you know, I had already filed for divorce and I decided to sell the business. It happened really quickly, like within four months.” Quote #2 “So I just really started getting stuck. So I was basically living a new version of my old life. Wow. And I had a runway this three years that I had to stay. So I just really started getting stuck. So I was basically living a new version of my old life. Wow. And so I thought if I could come up with a plan of something new and exciting, that that would be the way, you know, I, that I could give myself something to look forward to. Yeah. And you know, once I realized that whole new version of my old life, I knew I needed to make a big change. So I went to my brother and I said, you know what if I quit my job?” Quote #3 “With the exception of Buenos Airs, I knew I was going for five weeks and I booked an Airbnb for five weeks. It was so cheap. Yeah. I mean, that's a great place to go on a budget. Yeah. And, and that, you know, part of the early retirement was I had to be on a budget. Right. And I had stayed in hostels. I wasn't afraid to stay in hostels. That solo travel, there's something so much deeper there than just the excitement of travel and the seeing the touristy spots. It's the courage that it takes to do it. Yeah. Helps you grow and your, your spirit becomes freer. Your heart gets bigger from the people that you meet. Yeah. And the people that accept you when you're traveling alone, people are so kind. And especially, I don't know, I'm sure it's with men too, but with women. You know, older couples always wanted to know what, what was going on with me. Like, why was I sitting in the square in Santiago by myself? Yeah. Yeah. Are you okay? Yeah. Can we buy you a glass of wine? Yeah. I'm like, I, I'm good.” Kelly's Links: Program:   https://www.ckcollins.co/momentum Masterclass Team and Benefits: https://www.ckcollins.co/momentumteam Retreat Information: https://www.ckcollins.co/momentumretreat https://www.facebook.com/ckcollinsauthor/ https://www.youtube.com/@c.k.collins/playlists https://www.instagram.com/ckcollinsauthor/ https://www.tiktok.com/@ckcollinsauthor https://www.linkedin.com/in/c-k-kelly-collins-04b679265/ https://www.pinterest.com/ckcollinsauthor/ https://c-k-collins.ck.page/profile  https://twitter.com/CKCollinsBooks Please subscribe to James Youtube channel here! https://tinylink.net/XSGqL Featured song for this episode is  "Ride On", check it out on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/5VQzjlHv7qZzyZIOSGkhjU?si=eb0d5a683f2e43d8 For a custom-branded song you can reach James at james@thejamesoconnoragency.com If you wish to have an appointment with James about coaching, use this link. www.calendly.com/dharmic Apple podcast review link Please leave us a 5 Star review, its easy to do, and really helps us out to grow the show!  https://digitalhealthtoday.com/support/how-to-review-itunes/ Thank you for doing this my friends!

On today's episode, we are joined by Tonya Eberhart and Michael Carr, two international bestselling authors and hosts of the Be Bold Branding Podcast. Together, they are partners in BrandFace®, where they have helped thousands of Coaches, Creators, and Experts define, develop, and display their personal brands to change how they're seen and charge what they're worth. Their mantra is "People don't do business with a logo. They do business with a person". Join us as we dive into their journey and learn from their expertise on how to build profitable personal brands.   Tonya Eberhart is the founder of BrandFace® and Branding Agent to Business Stars, author of four books on personal branding and host of the Be Bold Branding Podcast.  Tonya’s humble career began while selling vacuum cleaners door to door to pay her way through college. That led to a job in radio, where she observed local business owners who were featured in their own advertising and positioned as local celebrities in the market. That’s when she realized the power that personal branding has on a business. Almost two decades and many successful brands later, she founded BrandFace®, a personal branding firm comprising a book series, speaking series, and personal branding program that is designed to help authors, podcasters, speakers, coaches, and business owners differentiate themselves.   Michael Carr is America’s Top Selling Real Estate Auctioneer, the Abundant Life Broker, COO of BrandFace and host of the Be Bold Branding Podcast. During his 25 years of experience, he has been actively involved in over 78,000 transactions and licensed in as many as 31 states in the continental U.S. as a broker and an auctioneer..  Michael first met Tonya in 2013 when he became a BrandFace client. He immediately put her exclusive personal branding concepts to work at his own brokerage, and as a result, his real estate business quadrupled over the next year.  On the heels of that success, they have co-authored two books together:  BrandFace® for Real Estate Professionals and BrandFace® for Entrepreneurs, both of which became #1 international bestseller on Amazon.  Today, he is a partner and the COO of BrandFace®. Their mantra is, “People don’t do business with a logo.  They do business with a person.”    Quote #1 (On Michaels Hiring of Tonya) “I was in San Bernardino, California. I was peppering her with questions. It was like middle afternoon, you know, maybe two o'clock. Something like that. Uh, you know, whatever, 12 o'clock to her or whatever it was, something around that. And I, and I'm like, pepper. And she's finally, she said, listen, you've asked me every question that you can ask me. All you can do now is just trust that I'm gonna do it. And I just took a deep breath and said, well, I trusted you two weeks ago. I was just giving you more hell than I had to say, so let's get started.” Quote#2 “Michael was my first brand face real estate client. So it was my first foray into the real estate world and personally branding somebody. So, um, at first I thought, okay, this is gonna be. Pretty easy because in the real estate world, people are used to being the face of their business already. Their photos are on their business cards, they're on their yard signs a lot of times, and they're used to kind of putting their persona out there. And I thought, this is an industry that could really, really use the help, because a lot of 'em put their face out there, but they really don't put their differentiation out there. And I knew there was a lot that I could teach. So when I started working with Michael, it was like, It was like butter, honestly. It was like he, he listened to everything. He was anxious to get it done and the, he was like working with a thoroughbred and you kind of had to hold back the reins. Right. And that's where literally, I would say to him, look I handled his expectations by telling him I was going to handle his expectation. I said, Michael, let me handle your expectations. And he, at, at that moment, he knew that what he wanted yesterday was gonna take at least another 48 hours, right? And so I knew that. We know that I had a timeline. He had a timeline, and then we had this thing where it's like, okay, we, all of these things cannot be a priority, Michael, so we're gonna do the 1, 2, 3. Okay. So we're gonna put some things are to one that's a priority. Those things we take care of first. Second, things are really important and right on the heels of that. And third need to happen sometime, but not this week. Right. And so then it became, let's turn those threes into ones right. So we had a lot of fun throughout the process, but it really taught me that, um, when somebody wants it, when somebody gets it and understands it, that's the greatest client of all." Quote#3 The number one job of your brand is to precede you. Before anybody gets on the phone with you or on a Zoom call or meets you in person, they should already be familiar with you and what you stand for.   Everything that you see out there about us on every platform, we'll talk about a couple of different things. Number one, We build profitable personal brands. Number two, our mantra is change how you've seen and ch change how you're seen and charge what you're worth. And then third is a, a personal brand is a lot more than a photo, a logo, and a tagline.   We look at 77 different criteria when we build a personal brand. If people see those things on the front end, they're expecting something. Totally different on the backend. They're already prepared for it, and that's actually what we help all our clients do is build a brand that precedes you. So when your prospects get face-to-face, they already have their credit card in their hand.         Facebook BrandFace Business Page: https://www.facebook.com/brandfacestar/ Tonya Eberhart: https://www.facebook.com/tonya.o.eberhart Michael Carr: https://www.facebook.com/MichaelCarrInc   Youtube BrandFace: https://www.youtube.com/user/BrandFaceStar   Instagram BrandFace: https://www.instagram.com/brandfacestar/ Tonya Eberhart: https://www.instagram.com/tonyaeberhart/ Michael Carr: https://www.instagram.com/michaelcarrinc/   LinkedIn Tonya Eberhart: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tonyaeberhart/ Michael Carr: https://www.linkedin.com/company/michael-carr-inc-/   Twitter BrandFace: https://twitter.com/brandfacestar   TikTok BrandFace: https://www.tiktok.com/@brandface   Featured song for this episode is "Ride On", check it out on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/5VQzjlHv7qZzyZIOSGkhjU?si=eb0d5a683f2e43d8   For a custom-branded song you can reach James at james@thejamesoconnoragency.com   If you wish to have an appointment with James about coaching, use this link. www.calendly.com/dharmic     Apple podcast review link Please leave us a 5 Star review, its easy to do, and really helps us out to grow the show! https://digitalhealthtoday.com/support/how-to-review-itunes/ Thank you for doing this my friends!

Shawn Finnegan is a successful entrepreneur and business connection expert based in Utah, USA. He has made a name for himself through his innovative strategies and exceptional networking skills. Shawn's passion for entrepreneurship began at an early age, as he witnessed each of his parents run their own successful businesses. After completing his education at Utah State University, Shawn managed divisions in the corporate world before pursuing his own endeavors. Being in the trenches of both massive and small businesses, Shawn has discovered that any company’s success hinges on its ability to nurture genuine connections. He focuses on building professional relationships that mutually benefit all involved, emphasizing the importance of being authentic and transparent in all business interactions. Quote #1 “So, you know, we purchased this building 15 years ago, got a really good price. Uh, we had a great tenant for a good decade, so COVID broke out and we lost our lease with that tenant. And it was a very hard Monday. It was when the covid, like really hit commercial, we just got clobbered. So this, this space kind of stood vacant for a while.” So it took us two years to build out what we have. As you can see, everything is is brand new sparkling cool. And our whole mission for doing that was to create a magnet for connecting with business owners. It's great for business, great for advice, great for everything. To just create a place where the community can, can come together like you saw at the event.   Quote #2 “The big, the big companies out there get taken care of. But not the small people. Yeah. And so small business owner. So as a small business owner, you have access to 1400 potential deductions. Versus a W2 person who, can maybe take two or three. So we're like, Hey, let's make sure that these small business owners are educated, taking time for planning, and actually do it right because they can save themselves a lot of money, put that money back where it belongs in the business”   Quote #3 (On Kevin O’Leary from Shark Tank) “Yeah, you know, the six degrees of separation are getting shorter. I think it's down to like four degrees of separation these days. Mm-hmm. You know? True. Yeah. Very true. So Kevin, Kevin has been a, a stellar partner and he, and you're, you're obviously from what you said earlier, you're not looking for a wall of stars, but to have somebody like that, um, representing your brand is, has gotta be just, uh, gotta be a grand slam because  the credibility factor is just awesome to have a shark there, you know? Yeah. We get spikes, you know, certain things he's been, you know, and what I love about guys like that and his brand. He spends a lot of time building relationships. He doesn't have to, you know, he doesn't.  He has got incredible businesses, but he just shows you how important relationships are. If you're around individuals like that, he's constantly on the phone just like you are” Shawn Links Finnegan360.com taxhive.com Featured song for this episode is "Ride On", check it out on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/5VQzjlHv7qZzyZIOSGkhjU?si=eb0d5a683f2e43d8 For a custom-branded song you can reach James at james@thejamesoconnoragency.com If you wish to have an appointment with James about coaching, use this link. www.calendly.com/dharmic Apple podcast review link Please leave us a 5 Star review, its easy to do, and really helps us out to grow the show! https://digitalhealthtoday.com/support/how-to-review-itunes/ Thank you for doing this my friends!

FREE Chapter 1 Upcoming Release Here: https://PatriciaRogers360.com  Quote #1 First of all, you are a visibility strategist. I've never heard anybody with that title?  "Oh, visibility strategist. Yes, I developed that name after the pandemic. It shifted us to online. Before I was done, I called myself a business development strategist, but I always, hosted events. So, and I did some coaching things of that nature. So I sort of did several things”. Quote #2 “I started following people like Bill Walsh, Nancy Matthews, women's Prosperity Network, Trish, Carl those, and then of course I went to, to a lot of Les Brown's events and things of that nature. I started, needed to go out and see what the entrepreneurs were doing. And then I would go to a lot of networking events before work, after, I think it was after work, networking.” Quote #3 “I’m an outspoken person. I'm sure you know that. And yes, when you're working in a predominantly male environment, sometimes less said to some people, it's better. But when you are violating my rights, I go by what's in the book because I read 'em. And if you violate, I don't care who you are, I'm gonna stand up for what's rightfully mine.” “So I was passed over for three promotions, corporal, sergeant, and lieutenant. And I eventually persevered through all of the challenges, followed the rules, and of course I succeeded in every situation. And so eventually I did retire. Of course, that was my goal, to retire as a corrections Lieutenant and I retired in 2016 as a corrections lieutenant” Quote #4 “And the reason I host those events, because I want all of us to know that we all have to kind of keep each other inspired and pushing. And I wanna be that example for the people who are sitting on the sidelines wanting to do but afraid to move. I wanna show them that baby, if you don't do what I'm doing, ain't nothing gonna happen.”   Dr Pat’s Links: YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@drpatriciarogers Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/MsPatRogers3708 Twitter https://twitter.com/MsPatRogers Let’s Connect LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mspatrogers/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drpatrogers/ Digital Biz Card https://PatriciaRogers360.com Website PatriciaRogers   Featured song for this episode is "Ride On", check it out on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/5VQzjlHv7qZzyZIOSGkhjU?si=eb0d5a683f2e43d8   For a custom-branded song you can reach James at james@thejamesoconnoragency.com   If you wish to have an appointment with James about coaching, use this link. www.calendly.com/dharmic Apple podcast review link Please leave us a 5 Star review, its easy to do, and really helps us out to grow the show! https://digitalhealthtoday.com/support/how-to-review-itunes/ Thank you for doing this my friends!

My guest today is the creator of "Group Coach Nation" he is non other than the Master Coach Chris Williams. Chris and I start and finish the interview with personal things, our kids, and, what do we love about life aside from our respective career callings. In between there is a whole lot of value and take aways that Chris shares about coaching, mastermind sessions, and general principals of how to share value as a great coach! Chris thinks bios are dumb and made his team write this. He loves his wife and five kids, and loves adventures. Not your average hiking adventures, but more like shark diving, mountain climbing, and driving a dog sled across a frozen tundra-type adventures. He teaches experts how to build, scale, and launch high-ticket masterminds. He also is a bestselling author, ranked as a Top 10 Podcast Guest, and has a top 0.001% podcast. (gotta love the 0.001% podcast reference!)   Quote #1 “It's all about communication. So, And so I started just really diving in on that and because I wasn't a good writer, wasn't good at at at school, honestly, but I could communicate and I could, I could sit down and learn to listen and learn to replicate what people were saying and, and emote back and repeat what they were saying and get the gist of it, and then ask more questions to help them arrive at their own solution”. Quote #2 “So the skillset really is, is really shutting up and just asking questions and letting people get there. And that's, that's the thing I. I really am fascinated with, as a coach, a group coach nation, we teach a lot of that because I think it's so important as coaches, not just to dump our information, but to listen so people can make truth applicable to them”. Quote #3 “And, and I wanna say something to that. One is it's not bad to try again and again and again. Two, get a coach. And if that's James, you're, you're here listening to James, right? You're, you're not on the show for me. Listen to James. If he's your coach, ask him questions like ask your coach questions about what you're doing. Have, have outside voices. Be in a mastermind, be in a community. You can't do this alone. Get real opinions from people who know what they're talking about. Invent the ideas in a sandbox and it's gonna give you a lot more attraction when you do step out cuz stepping out is expensive emotionally, financially, and relational”.   Chris Links:   Website: https://groupcoachnation.com Group Coach Nation Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/groupcoachnation Chris’s Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/chris.williamshq/ Chris’s Instagram Page: https://www.instagram.com/chriswilliamshq/ Chris’s LinkedIn Page: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chriswilliamshq/ Chris’s YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJw_LEOQhqJc05GmwBoBc8Q James: Featured song for this episode is "Ride On", check it out on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/5VQzjlHv7qZzyZIOSGkhjU?si=eb0d5a683f2e43d8 For a custom-branded song you can reach James at james@thejamesoconnoragency.com If you wish to have an appointment with James about coaching, use this link. www.calendly.com/dharmic Apple podcast review link Please leave us a 5 Star review, its easy to do, and really helps us out to grow the show! https://digitalhealthtoday.com/support/how-to-review-itunes/ Thank you for doing this my friends!

Until I, I finally, became in alignment with like who I was, which is part of my message that we'll speak about today. But throughout my journey of entrepreneurship, I attended multiple masterminds.”   Quote#2 “And what I thought I was going to do, was going to corporations and train CEOs on emotional intelligence and how to do this and create the same environment and train their leaders, their C-Suite leaders. But I was young and naive and I was like, I'm single, so I'm just gonna like, the world's my oyster. I'm gonna go out and I'm going to just start a business of my own.”   Quote#3 “I wanted to create the best room in the entire world, but I want to do it for people that are in a really vulnerable space.

Happily Married, #1 Bestselling Author, Global Entrepreneur and founder of the Marriage of Greatness movement. “Many men can make a fortune, very few can build a family.” It’s all about taking ACTION! Quote#1 So when you got a V H S camcorder, that's our little tool to film shorts and there's no video editing like nowadays, right? You can do it on your phone. You got all, I mean, just the whole, you and I understand what it used to take to create content.   Quote#2 There's gotta be a way to do this. And so I stood up and said, I'm gonna make a documentary and the next day in the shower, and here's a lesson for the people in the shower. If you ever notice, uh, most people get great ideas in the shower. Yes, probably cuz their phone's not in there with them. Yeah. Uh, hint And most people sadly leave their great ideas in the shower.   Quote#3 And so God gave me the vision, words of art. So I'm like, okay, let's look at words as an art form. And so that's where I started and I made an intention, got up off the couch and wouldn't you know, James, the next weekend I'm at an event. And it's one of these personal growth events. They got, you know, big names on the stage and then they have the sponsor, you know, ally, right, where everyone's got their booths.   Prehab instead of Rehab!   Body Dysmorphia, and how Evan recognizes it and deals with it.   Course correcting is how our journey in life goes.   “My bride and I both come from normal dysfunctional families, raise your hand if you can relate” : )   When we first got married our starry eyed quest was to live happily ever after and bring each others dreams to life. The challenge was, we had no money, like an old cell phone battery we were always in the red. My bride had a low paying high stress job and I had a struggling business.   We drove junky cars and lived in a postage stamp sized rental house. On top of that, I had major sexual baggage from a dark past that I’m still unpacking today. In-spite of all this we decided to have faith and dream big, we set a goal to get remarried in a different state or country every year.   With lot’s of prayer, action and creativity, we have been married over 20 times and yes we have had more than 20 honeymoons! Our story has been featured in media outlets around the world, but this is just the beginning of our story…   More Cool Evan Money Quotes: “The grass is always greener where you water it” “Ok, so if you want to make a personal growth documentary, here is the guy” “Why is this taking so long, that’s what every film maker says about every film project”   www.evanmoney.com   marriageofgreatness.com   IGWT4me.com   Featured song for this episode is “Ride On”, check it out on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/5VQzjlHv7qZzyZIOSGkhjU?si=eb0d5a683f2e43d8 Coaching link is here, join me for a no-obligation discovery session www.calendly.com/dharmic For a custom-branded song you can reach James at james@thejamesoconnoragency.com  

Wanda Howard is a parenting coach for those who love the abundance that God creates through the vehicle of business and how scaling as an entrepreneur brings great fulfillment in their life and they want to know how to bring that same feeling of purpose-driven success as a parent so that their kids can be emotionally healthy and confidently driven in their own life.   Quote#1 I believe that God did not send kids to us to say, okay, now you are the adult that should know all the answers and know exactly everything that they need. I think that he handpicked these amazing spirits for us because he knew that they had value.   Quote #2 I didn't want my kids to feel that way. I didn't want them to feel like they couldn't make a decision without me. I wanted them to know, like how to use their very capable, uh, deduction, reasoning, brain like intelligence and make their own decisions. And if they make a wrong one, then they're just better educated and that's not a crime.   Quote#3 I predominantly do one-on-one coaching with parents, but I love to get to know their kids as well.

  Kay Suthar had many ups and downs when she first started, and has gained a deeper understanding of the podcasting world.

Make Your Mark (Podcast) Agency prides itself on customer service while going above and beyond what you’ll find anywhere else by including audio editing, video editing, podcast publishing, show notes, and captioned videos in our all-in-one packages.

Giving them the tools the need to build your authority, visibility and brand on a global scale without the headache of producing your own show. Quote #1 You gotta keep promoting yourself. You still gotta put yourself out there. You don't stop just because there's a pandemic. Quote #2 And so I thought, well, let me tell people what I do and let me use this whole podcasting thing that everybody's going on about, right? So I was like, okay, let me just get myself on a few podcasts and nobody would actually even reply to me. Quote #3 I was there to kind of promote myself, and all I did was when people asked for certain things, I then gave them, because I was like, the market is already telling me what they want.

Jason Koons has been with Sweetwater since mid 2000 when he accepted an internship in the Sales Department with ambitions of working his way into the recording studios( background and schooling). He was 20 years old and didn’t really know who he was was yet, but quickly fell in love with all things Sales & Business Development. He spent 22 years truly sprinting, learning all he could about the craft and being an intentional student of sales, and that led to being the top producer for the company 17 of his 22 years as a Sales Engineer. What’s more, those weren’t just 17 years straight but each and every month of that as the top producer…203 consecutive months. He held the honor of having talked to more customers of Sweetwater’s over his tenure than any other Sales Engineer and in his final month in that role, made the decision to find fulfillment in leadership at Sweetwater Sound.   In January of ’22 he accepted the role of Director of Sales Growth & Development where he could focus on bringing the already successful top-performers at Sweetwater to their next levels, as well as contribute to overall sales initiatives and company motions while growth continued. Jason grew up as an adult at Sweetwater…He is very grateful for the opportunities in life this company has afforded him and his family (and countless other families) and he cares deeply about maintaining Chuck’s original vision and ethos while exploring new areas of growth.   Jason Quotes: "This is about, really, chasing your bliss and, and finding your creative outlets." "Chuck Surack was and is still the most successful person I've ever met. So it just made sense for me to just model my ethos and, what I did around what he had done." "The thing I think I'm most proud of is that while, these days we're nearly a 1.7 billion company, 23 years after I had started, the culture aspect of it from 40 sales engineers to now 612 sales engineers, it just hasn't changed." jason_koons@sweetwater.com https://www.sweetwater.com/   Featured song for this episode is "Ride On", check it out on Spotify here https://open.spotify.com/track/5VQzjlHv7qZzyZIOSGkhjU?si=eb0d5a683f2e43d8 For a custom-branded song you can reach James at james@thejamesoconnoragency.com   Apple podcast review link Please leave us a 5 Star review, its easy to do, and really helps up out to grow the show! https://digitalhealthtoday.com/support/how-to-review-itunes/ Thank you for doing this my friends!

367 It is Finished, Good Friday   It Is Finished, The last words Jesus spoke on Good Friday as he died on the cross to save Humanity.   Greetings all my friends and today I am doing something a little bit different on the Dharmic Evolution Podcast I wanted to present a project that I worked on more than 5 years ago on Music Row in Nashville. The band is called “Mercy” and the project was the “I AM VICTORIOUS” Album.   Its ultimate purpose is to become a theatrical musical experience, similar to West Side Story, or The Rocky Horror Picture Show, in that it’s design is to include the audience as part of the presentation. However, at the time of putting the music together, we had no idea this was part of the plan.   My writing partner Archbishop and Captain Chaplain Christine Mercy Johnson and I wrote and Produced this album with Kim Copeland as Music Producer on Music Row in the late Spring and Summer of 2016.    I wanted to share 4 of the tracks with you today to give you a glimpse of the story and how important It is for us to remember what actually happened during those last days of the Lord that set up our Eternal spiritual possibilities for all time moving forward, I hope you will listen, and enjoy the story, And realize its importance on your life!   AMEN The Lord wanted us to write a song entitled “Amen” that is all we got, just “Amen” I walked around In circles in my small humble studio in this tiny cottage I was renting  at the time, it had a loft and fireplace  it was perfect actually, I really lived in a small recording studio, on an 80 acre estate surrounded by nature. After being exasperated At the lack of direction, I turned on my DX7, plugged in a couple of guitars, and set up the metronome, and    Just started tracking, the rest just came out, pretty much the same as you hear on the recording. The one Icing on the cake was that Christine had told me the Lord wanted her to do a voice over on top of the  Recording, and it turns out The Lords Prayer fit into the space perfectly, we had not planned on this And I had no idea that was going to be part of the song, but it fit like a glove.   The intro of this song starts with Christine reciting scripture from Revalations 22, its a moving and stirring Message, filled with dire warnings, but also with the promise of beautiful, revealing, and everlasting Light for us all, if only we dare to have the courage to claim it. As the scripture concludes, it moves Quietly into the song.   The intro is real birds that I captured at the cottage, I woke up pre dawn one morning and put two hi quality Microphones out of my windows to capture the early morning song birds, then later that day I went for A hike in one of my favorite forests and brought with me a tiny hi quality recorder, my trusty Boss Digital Micro BR recorder. (I still use it today, its smaller than a peanut butter sandwich) I set it on a rock in the Middle of a stream to capture the real water sounds for the recording, and added them into the mix.   I always thought of the piece as more of a prayer than a song, it is designed for you to put on in your Car, on the way to a stressful meeting, or uncomfortable situation, and is meant to help you find Peace through the prayer that you are communicating to the Father, Lord Jesus, and the  Holy Spirit. Amen~   Bless You This was a beautiful story about Jesus imparting to his disciples how to conduct themselves out in the World and how they can make an impact on society and care for their impoverished brothers and sisters. He spoke in parables not to be overly mysterious, however, he would alway try to trigger our creative minds using storytelling, and touching our imaginations in ways that would inspire thinking in new and prosperous way towards the good of humanity.   This showcases what faith and hope really are when these men just left their previous life in a Moments notice. They intuitively knew that they were witnessing something so unusual and so Brilliant, and must have thought “how could we miss this”?   I think the rolling piano riff in this song really glued the arrangement together. That is Nashvilles own Buddy Hyatt,  with brother Jim Hyatt on Bass guitar.  Shawn Fichter (from Tim McGraw’s band) is on drums and percussion,  James Mitchell on electric guitars,  Glen Duncan on Acoustic Guitars and violin.  Kim Copeland did a fabulous job producing along with Kelly Schoenfeld handling all Of the highly skilled and challenging engineering, as this was no easy feat to incorporate spoken Scripture with music.   I’M AFRAID I’m afraid records the last night that the Lord Jesus has of earthy freedom before the soldiers come To take him away. How torture with the whipping was just brutal, they beat him and scourged him For hours on end before forcing him to carry his own heavy wooden cross up to Calvary where he Was to be crucified.    The main beam of the cross was stretched across his shoulders and weighed 80-100 Lbs, he had To carry this more than 600 yards uphill, he was beaten so badly and lost so much blood and bodily fluids, it has been said he barely looked human. I think it was astonishing that he even  survived the brutal beatings to get to the crucifixion.   As Jesus was in the Garden of gethsemane praying to his father, he had asked his disciples to stay Awake and keep watch while he prayed to his Father. These last hours were so terrifying for him that he began sweating blood as he could see the horrible and brutal torture he would be suffering over the next 24 hours. He returned to them several times to find them all asleep, which must have been even more exasperating for him.    He was so terrified that he asked his Father, “If it be possible please take this cup from my Hand, but I serve your command, although I’m Afraid”   Everyone played so well on this track and the featured violin playing by Glen Duncan was really Sweet and special. Shawn also added so many elements of drama with the swelling symbol  Effects as well.     IT IS FINISHED Captures the last moments of Jesus speaking to his Father as he is about to die a brutal Painful physical human death. The hours that led up to this had Jesus in court with Pontious Pilate, the Roman Governor of the province of Judea. Pilate knew this was a very highly  Charged political situation and even his wife was trying to influence him not to punish Jesus As she had dreams that he was indeed the messiah.   The Jews hated the fact that Jesus was being called the Son of God, and wanted know part Of it, they were screaming “Crucify him” in the town square where Pilate was presenting them A choice to free one prisoner as is customary before passover, he asked “do you want me to Free Barabas, or Jesus”?    We were having a bit of trouble with this one, as Christine suddenly said after tracking that it Was not sad enough, James Mitchell suggested to me to change up to a minor 6th and that Was exactly what it needed to give it that sad temperament in all the right places.  I remember writing this on my Strat and using a capo up around fret 4 or 5, just really Tore into it without any though whatsoever.   Its amazing how all the musicians picked up on the dynamics of the song just from that One very sparse and simple demo. Its another song completely run by the Holy Spirit,  All we needed to do was hang on and enjoy the ride!   After the vocal on this, I could not even come into the control room for a minute or two, It was almost an out of body experience.   Be blessed, and Happy Good Friday,   James~  

Olivia Chadwick gives us a deep dive at what is coming up in the full interview about helping women take a new approach to health and the relationship with mind/body. Olivia is a very skilled mentor and coach and does some really unique counseling for women who need to understand how valuable they are!  Olivia is a Mental Performance Coach with 17 years of experience supporting my clients to flourish through fitness. Her fascination with physiology and anatomy led me to complete a degree in Kinesiology and my certification in Pilates to educate and coach others on the power of movement.  After working with hundreds of clients one-on-one and in groups it has become painfully apparent that nobody is truly experiencing the wellbeing often associated with fitness. The truth is we only focus on the physical, in large part, due to our societal entrenchment in diet culture. This revealed to Olivia that helping others requires an understanding of the body and the mind, which led her to return to academics to complete my Master’s in exercise psychology and contemplative studies.  Her research explored how we can cultivate compassion and acceptance towards ourselves in the context of exercise. Can we paradoxically work towards improving ourselves and our lives while also learning how to accept, enjoy and even love exactly who we are right now? Today, her belief is yes! With exercise becoming a driving force for healthy self-care that acts as a life-line to a great life.  This journey has led Olivia to my mission to empower women to live free of diet culture to experience greater personal fulfillment and life satisfaction!  Olivia Chadwick Exercise Physiologist

Static thinking, Fear, Doubt, Worry, Driving on the Freeway. "My bride and I both come from normal dysfunctional families, raise your hand if you can relate" : ) When we first got married our starry eyed quest was to live happily ever after and bring each others dreams to life. The challenge was, we had no money, like an old cell phone battery we were always in the red. My bride had a low paying high stress job and I had a struggling business. We drove junky cars and lived in a postage stamp sized rental house. On top of that, I had major sexual baggage from a dark past that I’m still unpacking today. In-spite of all this we decided to have faith and dream big, we set a goal to get remarried in a different state or country every year. With lot’s of prayer, action and creativity, we have been married over 20 times and yes we have had more than 20 honeymoons!

Michaell Magrutsche co-produced with Robert Evans (Godfather, Chinatown Love Story) and was also the City Arts Commissioner of Newport Beach, California, he also wrote 5 books.  He has been a leader all his life and is now writing the book on the next form of leadership because he can function with humans better than in systems.  Michaell has given 120 interviews worldwide  in the last 8 months primarily about system values versus human values, leadership's most trait self-awareness, our superpower of creativity, dialogue and adaptability. The next disruption that we already are into, we have created too good, and too much, that we pivoted to not having the time to find those products, let alone engage in a sales funnel and buy the product or service. We need leaders that understand this and not push more, but be aware and wiser. Art/creativity is an integral part to reveal to you, who you are, rather than waiting for others to define you. Art/creativity as a human superpower. Art always reminds us of a life as human BEINGS.     Michaell is more aware of this because he was a sick child and also is dyslexic, and having dysgraphia (hand eye coordination)  could not fit in anywhere. He is completely self-taught. Now, 5 books later…Creating art is his savior, it allowed him to be with other humans, he has co produced with Robert Evans, and became the City Arts Commissioner for Newport Beach CA, etc. etc. Art/creativity, healthy dialogue (podcasts) and our adaptability are superpowers that define our limitless human potential. Creating art always reminds and teaches us of a life as human BEINGS. It makes us aware of human and nature’s wonders for us and future generations.   Michaell's hub is  https://MICHAELLM.com. His 30sec podcast The Smart of Art - The Power of Art and Creativity podcast.   https://anchor.fm/michaellart   It's all about art outside systems as a human superpower. Art as the human language of wisdom 30sec. at a time.

Have you ever had a client call you up one day to tell you that you did such a great job and now they are firing you? Client retention can be a real problem in the coaching industry, and my friend HB Pasley joined me on Podcasting Your Global Career to deep dive into the strategies and techniques of "The Chiropractor of Wisdom"     3 Key Takeaways   Client retention doesn't take an abundance of time. Simple communication habits will go a long way.  It's 9X easier to retain a client than it is to acquire a new client. Clients will refer you if you simply give them a next level experience   HB's Bio H.B. has been a coach, a creative, and a professional communicator for close to four decades. He founded and presided over an arts-based Christian nonprofit that served the marginalized for over two decades. He has published many books and countless leadership guides, facilitated thousands of people in leadership development retreats, and has produced over 7 million song streams on Spotify. Even after all that, he is fond of deflecting attention from his accomplishments by saying, “my real claim to fame is that I have failed at more ventures than most will ever attempt ... and I took a lot of notes.” H.B. has founded works in tech, financial services, charitable orgs, and in the arts. His DNA is to start things, however, it may be his lifelong work with very strong, very talented people that has uniquely equipped him to be a professional advisor. It was “in the school of hard knocks,” he says, where he gleaned his best wisdom for helping others. Refreshingly, H.B. openly speaks of his own failures as some of his greatest learning moments. As a business coach he often refers to himself as a “perspective partner.” His academic scholarships helped him earn a Bachelors Degree in Religion and General Business at Samford University, Birmingham, Alabama, in 1988, Cum Laude. As a financial advisor he earned his Series 6, 7, and 63 designations. H.B. is also a Certified Exit Planning Advisor. He claims, however, that he has never been rewarded for book smarts, only for working well with people. Presently, H.B. lives in Colorado Springs, Colorado with his wife Robin, an award-winning interior designer. His two sons live in Phoenix, Arizona. Xander is a student at Grand Canyon University, and Zane recently graduated with a degree in Entrepreneurial Business. H.B. loves golf though he is bad at it. He is better at fly fishing, reading books, and hiking. He loves to be on the water.

In today’s show, we discuss with Tom Paladino his scalar energy research in Florida. Scalar energy is the fundamental life force found everywhere in the world, space and universe. It originates from the sun and stars. Chi, prana, OM, mana, life force, pyramid energy or zero-point energy are synonymous terms for scalar energy.   I began research with scalar energy during my undergraduate years. Inspired by various scientists, especially Nikola Tesla (a genius who invented alternating current), I was curious to learn more about the existence of an energy that was not of the electromagnetic spectrum. I pursued a course of independent study in order to better understand and subsequently harness scalar energy, as this emerging science is not taught at the university level.   One of my scientific predecessors was Dr. T. Galen Hieronymus, one of the few scalar energy researchers in the United States in the last century. I read Galen’s notes and used his scalar energy instruments after his death.   Some of Galen’s inventions, according to a 1977 magazine article, were “quasielectronic instruments that could (a) analyze the component elements of an ore sample without spectroscopic, chemical or other orthodox methods, and, most surprising of all, (b) influence (even kill) living organisms, even from vast distances, with no scientifically understandable mechanism at the other end.”   I theorized that all energy in the universe initiates as scalar energy; and that the Sun of our solar system and the stars of the universe are the points of origin, “the storehouses,” for scalar energy. I further theorized that scalar energy is instructive energy, as the entire universe is instructed by this Divine Essence. Subsequently, all spiritual, cognitive, emotional and physical action in the universe is initiated and maintained by scalar energy instructions. Scalar energy provides order in the universe.   Based on these theories and the work of scientists who came before me, I was able to develop scalar energy instruments capable of harnessing and transmitting instructive energy to heal human subjects by way of their photograph. You can think of this as similar to a radio broadcast with my instruments as the broadcaster, and your quantum body as the receiver. The difference is that the energy transmitted is not electromagnetic, and is therefore immeasurable by traditional science.   My instruments provide a guaranteed, fast, harmless and painless treatment process that has successfully healed patients with quantum illnesses such as HIV viral disease, Ebola, herpes, hepatitis, Lyme disease, tuberculosis, malaria, etc.  Over 400,000 pathogens are identified and subsequently disassembled by way of this unique scalar energy protocol. These scalar light instruments administer the scalar energy reverse-phase angle harmonic of a pathogen, thereby causing that agent of infection to disassemble or fall apart. Bacteria, viruses, fungi and protozoan, can all be disassembled, representing a cure or prevention for thousands of diseases. Once the causative agent of a pathogen disease has been eliminated, the symptoms associated with that infection decrease or disappear altogether.   James is now Coaching If you are a high achiever looking to transform your life/career/goals, James is now offering a limited amount of space for 1 on 1 coaching.

As a Preview   In today’s episode, we discuss with Tom Paladino, an advocate of scalar energy, an emerging science passed down through generations from Nikola Tesla. Tom explains all about scalar light, the scientific tests and backings for the numerous healings through Scalar light. Tom also shares his personal testimony of healing through Scalar light. This is one episode not to miss. Let’s dive in!   Quotes   Scalar light is free of electrons and I firmly believe it is the spirit of God-Tom   The actual universe is a scalar energy hologram-Tom   Over the extension of my career, I’ve assembled over 400,000 microbes-Tom   God can take a bird’s eye view photo of the village and be able to reach each member and heal them all-Tom   A scalar energy instrument can break apart what we don't want or create what we want- Tom   I am all convinced about the results. After results, you can make your conclusion- Tom   The photograph of a person carries their energy- Tom Timestamps   2:59 Introducing Tom Paladino   03:53 What is Scalar light?   06:08 The background behind scalar energy   08:00 Tom’s gift from God   09:25 The tech behind scalar energy    11:14 The process of healing through scalar energy   16:59 Scaling the scalar energy   17:39 God’s healing through Scalar energy   19:00 The need for local representation   21:34 What happens after healing?   22:45  The equipment  for the scalar energy   24:05 How did Tom know scalar energy was a success?   26:15 The extent of Scalar energy and pathogens   28:10 How can we create awareness for scalar energy   29:48 Why photographs?   32:58 Other programs in Scalar light   39:05 What is the biggest challenge with Scalar light?   39:55 Scalar energy’s biggest win   42:25 How can the dHarmic evolution community support Scaler light?   44:44 Ride On by James Kevin O’Connor plays   Spotify Playlist:  Make sure you’re not missing out on all our “Rising dHarmic Stars Spotify Playlists”.

  Cass is a modern soul singer with a sound that embodies old-school cool with bold sexy optimism. Her sound takes its cue from a vintage sonic swagger a-la Amy Winehouse, but she’d be just as much at home drinking martinis with Andra Day, Brittany Howard and Nancy Sinatra at her favourite lounge bar in LA.Cass’s soul-leaning, sun-seeking songs remind you that if the champagne glass isn’t already full,then it’s at least half-full (and definitely never empty). Her signature chocolate-coated vocals are drenched in a feel-good vibe, and her megawatt smile and natural charisma draw you in with gravitational force.It isn’t just Cass’ new single “The Way I Feel About You” and its crowd-sourced video that have captured the imagination of her fans and industry. Cass’s acclaimed last single “Ain’t No Stopping Me '' hit over 1.7M streams on a recent US Hyundai commercial. Her music has also been featured on a US McDonalds ad, as well as multiple TV shows on Amazon Prime, Nine Network, and the E channel. So strap up your seatbelts, and let’s take a ride to Australia by way of LA California on this episode of the dHarmic Evolution podcast. As a Preview In this episode, we have soulful singer Cass Eager discuss her two latest singles and a behind the scenes of “the way I feel about you”. A lot of introspection, we talk about Cass’ experience in co-writing, from dislike to joy. We talk about family, her agent husband and motherhood. We also talk about pushing ourselves when we have a supporter, a producer like Billy Elfer. Trust us, this episode is definitely one of a kind. Wanna know the Australian word for hiking? Get it all here on the dHarmic evolution podcast.

In today’s episode, we have the master storyteller, James, who shares a fantastic story regarding how his song Rain Dance came together. He talks about the inspiration, the creativity flow, instrumentals and production. Just in case you’ve forgotten, the dHarmic Evolution is centered around discovering indie singers/songwriters before they get discovered by the mainstream. In addition, the show features authors, speakers, and thought leaders, the core culture of the dHarmic Evolution brand is built around doing for others. So strap up your seatbelts, and let’s take a ride to New Jersey on this episode of the dHarmic Evolution podcast.   As a Preview In this episode, James touches on Indian Americans. He goes on to talk about their style of faith. James also discusses his song Rain Dance, which came about as a result of a brutal heat wave and how the idea for this song came together. As you listen, get to know more about James’ first full length CD, "175 Cherry Lane" which was also self-produced. Also, learn about the Crazy Horse Memorial all on this episode of the Dharmic Evolution. Quotes I’ve always believed the American Indian is such a special breed of person. What is being an American anymore? It’s hard to put your finger on that. Because they didn’t have the same name we are using (referring to God) doesn’t mean they didn’t have faith. They had stronger faith than most cultures and revered nature so beautifully. If you don’t believe in prayer, you might think about making a gesture towards prayer, and if you put some energy and some intellectual capacity into prayer, you might get surprised and might want to do it more often.   Timestamps 03:09 What are we talking about in this episode? 03:41 Do you believe in rain dance? 05:37 Faith and the American Indian 07:02 How do we get rain? 07:23 Behind one of James’ first full-length CD tracks 09:13 Jean’s Evergreens 09:41 James’ collaboration with Drums for you 11:38 More collaborations with Drums for you 14:01 James’ song Thirteen had a full horn section 14:50 The Great Crazy Horse Memorial in South Dakota 19:00 175 Cherry Rain Collection: Rain Dance Plays Spotify Playlist:   Make sure you’re not missing out on all our “Rising dHarmic Stars Spotify Playlists”.

They can change it all just like that.” -Holly “All my music and creativity comes from my grandad who was also a singer.”- Holly “Sometimes inspiration comes by meeting somebody and they tell me a story and I’m inspired to write something but it’s very natural. It’s usually at  9 a.m.  and I’m half asleep at my piano.” – Holly “I think it’s a song that doesn’t require music. It’s a story and the story is the most important part.”- Holly “You are not really concerned with the genre; it sounds like the music selected you” - James  Time Stamps: 00:54 Opportunity to get featured on the Dharmic Rising Star Playlist 01:27 Guest artist introduction 03:42 Holly’s skateboarding experience 06:55 Listen to “Something in the Way” by Holly 10:12 Why Holly wrote “Something in the Way” 11:16 How Holly discovered an interest in Shakespeare plays through her grandad. 12:42 Holly’s observation on social media and forming real interactions 14:30 James touches on dating sites and forming real connections 16:22 Holly’s interest in performing on Sofar Sounds 19:00 What is the process behind Holly’s songwriting 20:22 Holly’s upcoming tour in UK and Ireland 21:39 James wonderful advice for Holly’s stage appearance 23:50 Listen to Holly’s “Dreamer”. 28:30 How Holly came to discover “Dreamer” 30:45 How Holly got into singing as a career path 33:10 How Holly got into the Cannes Film Festival 35:10 How does Holly relax and spend time with family 36:47 Holly’s dog Chester makes a show appearance 37:57 Holly and Linktree 40:23 Holly’s Aspirations for her Music and Acting career 44:00 Listen to Ride On by James Kevin O’Connor   Spotify Playlist:   Make sure you’re not missing out on all our “Rising dHarmic Stars Spotify Playlists”.

Today on the show, still doing something different, I talked about technology, what’s happening and how to protect yourself. Also, I discussed how to leverage your podcast after a show and finally shared the story behind the dHarmic rising star Spotify playlists. And just as a teaser, we will be having guests from all over the world very soon. So, strap up your seatbelt and enjoy this wonderful episode on the dHarmic Evolution podcast.   As a preview:  On technology, I switched to the Brave browser, an ad-blocking privacy browser that helps keep my browsing info private. Whenever I’m doing something sensitive, especially relating to my financial accounts, I use Brave. Another cool perk is you get paid for the viewing ads of your choice!  Regarding podcasts, I wanted to drop some growth hacks. When you are invited to a show, leverage that opportunity as an infomercial. Don’t just shut off your microphone and move on, take some steps to promote. Share it across your socials and even follow up just to get feedback and continue to build on a blossoming relationship. Lastly, the dHarmic rising stars Spotify playlist is a Spotify playlist of 30 songs each that I created and named after certain star constellations. A very eclectic bunch of great songs from various genres are available on these playlists! Also, as a guest on the podcast, you get to put one of your songs on the playlist for free. Listen and enjoy  Quotes: “I worry that we are getting too complacent on letting our private information run rampant on the Internet”  “Keep your software updated and turn your phone off at least once a day”  “After your show is done, think of ways of how to keep it alive”  “Having your infomercial is very powerful, you took the time to do this, you showed up, you invested the energy and did the right things; don’t let it die”  “There are always things right in front of us that we tend to overlook” “I’ve been doing this for a long time, and I am very comfortable in trying to make people comfortable on the show”  “You’re tired of your own music at times. Where do you go for inspiration? Other artists, of course!”  Time Stamps: 00:33 Special shoutout to Indian listeners  03:36 Talking about technology & privacy 04:07 My switch from Chrome to the Brave browser 06:00 The Brave AdBlocker 06:23 The BAT token 09:03 Jeff Brown 10:56 Light pollution and E.M. radiation 12:22 What do you do with your podcast after being on someone’s show? 13:48 Requirement for getting onto the show 15:28 My secret super link strategy 18:29 Identifying your warm leads 20:21 More marketing techniques 21:23 Introducing the dHarmic Rising Stars Spotify playlists 23:08 Why did I start the dHarmic Rising Stars Spotify playlist? 24:47 Rules guiding the Rising dHarmic Stars Spotify playlists 26:48 Worrying about copying other artists. 29:01 Megan Nadin’s Beautiful Things from the Aquila playlist 31:46 Introducing A Million Miles Away from the Fighting for Frequency Band 36:14 The Lust in Between from Laura Cheadle 39:48 Introducing Stone Senate 41:45 Whiskey Helps starts playing Spotify Playlist: Make sure you’re not missing out on all our “Rising dHarmic Stars Spotify Playlists”.

In this episode, I did something a bit different and share a project that was done around this time (the Holy week), five years ago. The band is called Mercy and the name of the project is I am Victorious. My writing partner Archbishop and Captain Chaplain Christine Mercy Johnson and I wrote and produced this album. Kim Copeland also served as the music producer. Majorly I discussed the process behind four songs and also shared the songs all on the dHarmic evolution podcast.

More about Credenda dHarmic Evolution has been a place for indie music and a lot of up and coming artists are here all the time, so let’s show our support for Credenda and their music through different platforms. You can go check out their website, social media pages and music platforms and follow them through these. All the links are provided below!  Quotes: 05:51 “I was just a mom. I actually was into classical music. I'm  one of these prodigy kids that my parents had in lessons from a very young age, and I gave it up in my late teens, and went into a nursing program instead of following through on my music. And so when we had tons of kids, and they all started showing that they were very musical. I just heard of them all together. We did music together, I would write a bit and they'd sing it and, and it just evolved, but the sound just produces itself, I think.” - Barbara   12:30 “And we go on this sort of little family, with sweet, angelic harmonies. And it was kind of interesting, it didn't matter how drunk people were, everybody just stopped doing anything, and they didn't turn around from the bar. And watch, and listen. So we knew that what we were delivering was having an impact in some way. And somebody told us later that the harmonies bring peace to them. I think there's something about harmony when musicians put harmony together.” - Barbara   22:41 “I wasn't this kid, this millennial that would be glued to my phone growing up. I loved books and literature and the influence of parents that they brought into the house, but the music and just family culture was important to me.” - Anna   26:47 “I'll kind of build everything around that melody, and the lyrics just kind of incidentally, fall into it. And mom was the original lyricist, but she kind of gave me the self belief that I could start contributing to that department. So I've been doing a lot more recently.” - Daniel   42:16 “If I had to go with a word for our recording process, it's casual. We're not like, “I want to do that again, do it again.” People are really doing vocal bits over and over until it's just perfect. A lot of our best work is done like “One Take Jake” style, if we can.” - Credenda   50:42 “When people ask us, “What do you like to do besides music?” And then I always had this saying that musicians don't have a social life in general. We sort of make time to do things in periods throughout the day.” - Daniel   53:40 “My inspiration to any up and coming songwriter that's just hit Nashville or is just trying to make it in music in general, is keep at it. Be patient with yourself, your growth. Always have a circle of friends around you, even if it's just one or two people that kind of anchor you, and have conviction. Don't go for a deal just when it's offered to you, because sometimes it's not the right decision to make. So be patient. Be patient. Just keep at it. It will happen.” - Credenda Timestamps: 01:00 Introducing Credenda 02:30 Introducing the three members of Credenda and how the band was formulated. 04:38 Barbara shares who she was listening to growing up and her influences in music. 07:45How did the name Credenda come about? 09:32 The importance of the dictionary in songwriting. 11:21 How was their experience on Puckett’s and if they played there often. 15:04 Listen to “A Bridge in Dickson County” by Credenda 19:14 How did “A Bridge in Dickson County” come to have a life of its own? 22:22 The heroes in music that Anna had as she was growing up. 23:33 Anna shares her journey on bringing out her voice. 25:55 How is Daniel's process in creating and coming up with sounds? 27:02 How do Credenda come up with things and contribute as individuals? 28:43 The story of how Credenda went to Nashville and where they were before that. 34:25 How was Credenda’s transition as they stayed in Nashville? 35:36 Listen to “Far Side Of The River” by Credenda 38:52 Who is behind “Far Side Of The River” and what is it about? 40:14 Credenda shares their recording process and how they get their songs completed. 44:55 What do Ann, Daniel and Barbara like to do during their chill time besides music? 52:45 Credenda’s sign off message to the audience and inspirational wisdom to the upcoming artists. 54:58 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor Spotify Playlist: Make sure you’re not missing out on all our “Rising dHarmic Stars Spotify Playlists”.

That's basically what we do all the time. ” - Dale 26:20 “I love that music though. I love the freedom of being able to just make it up as I go and play what I feel. And those guys encouraged me to sing, lead. That's the band I was in when Dale and I met and then now I just love being able to write with Dale, have our own stuff and not have to sing anybody else's stuff.” -Lisa 41:01 “I'm always practicing. I do my TrueFire, I do some of their courses. I'm always trying to learn something new. I love it.” - Dale 51:49 “My advice to anybody who wants to do music is to just play and enjoy it. Because even if nobody likes what you're doing, but you like what you're doing, I think you should just play and enjoy the music. Because as we talked earlier, there's so much ego in this business. And as long as you love what you're doing, you believe in what you're doing, I say just play, it doesn't matter if anybody likes it as long as you like it. And if you inspire just one person to play, I mean, it makes it all worth it. So that's me.” - Dale 52:26 “Don't doubt yourself, second guess yourself. Everybody has their own thing. God gave us all different talents and different gifts. So use yours. Don't compare that to anybody else there.” - Lisa Timestamps: 01:59 Introducing Saylor Dollar 03:15 Saylor Dollar talks about Tallahassee, Florida 04:00 Where do Saylor Dollar spend most of their time when going out and doing their performances? 05:25 How do Saylor Dollar put their material together and have their songs come together? 08:57How did Saylor Dollar start collaborating - when and where did they meet? 11:20 Listen to “Colored Water Sunshine” by Saylor Dollar 14:57 Saylor Dollar talks about the story behind “Colored Water Sunshine” 17:04 Sinkholes that you can swim in that are in  Tallahassee, Florida 18:06 Saylor Dollar on their special favorites on alternate tuning and DADGAD tuning. 22:22 Gears and instruments that Saylor Dollar uses when they get out and play. 24:14 Lisa’s powerful vocals and who she listened to before she started singing. 25:42 Lisa on joining a bluegrass band. 27:52 What are Saylor Dollar’s process for getting ready for when they're going to do a record. 30:36 How does Saylor Dollar put their music together and what great do they use? 32:44 Saylor Dollar about doing a full band and a duo.  33:54 Listen to “Goodbye” by Saylor Dollar 37:58 What is the metaphor behind “Goodbye” and who had the personal experience with this song.  41:12 What does Lisa and Dale like to do for fun outside music and work?  42:44 Where are the best venues for their eclectic music? 46:10 At what age did Dale start playing and who did he listen to growing up? 48:57 When did Dale transition from heavy metal to something different? 50:18 Lisa as a teacher of strings. 51:18 Saylor Dollar’s goodbye message to the audience and words of wisdom to the upcoming artists. 53:35 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor   Spotify Playlist: Did you miss the alumni of the dHarmic Evolution Podcast?

It's definitely a big passion, it’s not just playing guitar, playing different ones and buying them when I've saved some money.” 35:52 “My goals are to....... I think I've found my sound now that I'm wanting to do and it's kind of writing more based around that – so I want to produce more, produce my own stuff more.” 36:52 “It's big on obviously independent artists now, and you need to get your music out there but you don’t really need a record label behind you anymore. So I mean, you can push your own music and it'd be nice to be obviously backed by hundreds of thousands of dollars by a record company, because that's what's going to ultimately get you putting the picture out there. But these days, being able to produce your music and put it out I think is a massive, massive thing. And that's why you've got so many independent artists now and they can actually do that.”   38:55 “A big thing for me was actually recording, getting into recording. I think through doing that you find your sound, you find what you're all about, and you find what you want to make. That's what did it for me.”   Timestamps:   00:57 Introducing Zack Linton 02:33 Perth as one of the safest cities and how would Zack describe it. 03:31 How did Zack get connected and started with Sofar Sounds? 05:25 How does Zack go about crafting his songs and his process on creating it? 08:20Listen to “Money” by Zack Linton 11:55 The making of the song “Money” and how Zack built the song with the guitars and keys? 13:35 Gigging around Perth and the places Zack played at even during the pandemic. 17:28 Zack as part of a trio and using the electric guitars.  19:36 How is the environment in Zack’s area for accepting original artists? 21:00 Could you plan a tour in Western Australia that could sustain for a month or two? 22:46 There are a lot of mining sites in their area – gold, iron ore, lithium, or Bitcoin?  24:17 Zack talks about the gear that he uses. 26:23 Listen to “Balance” by Zack Linton 29:19 Zack tells us about the metaphor behind the song “Balance” and the story of it. 31:03 Zack’s influences as he was coming up as a guitar player. 32:16 When did Zack start his journey to get to where he is now. 34:28 Who are the vocalists that Zack Linton admired? 35:30 What are Zack’s aspirations for as he is moving forward with his career? 36:28 Is the music business supportive on the original side? 37:27 What are the platforms that Zach uses to push his music out? 38:32 Zack's advice to up and coming musicians and his thank you message to the audience. 40:25 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor   Spotify Playlist:   Head over to our dHarmic Rising Stars Spotify playlists and see if your music is on there!

We’re going to be doing something special on this episode of dHarmic Evolution. So join me for a ride today and let’s have a one-on-one about investing, and answer this question: where are you spending your time and currency? Real estate, stock market, bonds, precious metals, NFTs, Cryptos, the metaverse, these are some of the wise investments here on earth, but today we will dig deeper on what we should be more focused on. As we put our money into these things, where do we put ourselves when it comes to investing in our eternal future? Today, let me just share with you a few things that you can ponder upon to spend a more purposeful life, not just for your time here in the world but something that will last throughout eternity.  It is important for everybody to think about their earthly responsibilities, investments, caring for their families, running their businesses, and earning a good living. But it’s more essential to focus on the Lord. Make Him your God and all the rest of what you want will surely easily fall into place. So, let’s talk about what hinders us from coming near to Him, and by the time you finish this episode, I hope that we can all start by speaking to Him and coming confidently to God through our prayers. Have a blessed day ahead friends! Quotes: 04:51 “Too few people are really focused on what comes next and even fewer are investing in their eternal future.” 13:26 “Where are we really missing something? It's not in this life here on Earth. This is just a very, very short bus stop that we all find ourselves waiting at. The ultimate focus and excitement for all should be where am I going after this? As death is a certainty for all humankind.” 14:41 “If you like earning money, make as much money as you like, just don't make it your God. Whatever you keep rolling around in your mind every minute of every day becomes your God. What about trying to keep your focus on the Lord, make Him your God and all the rest of what you want easily falls into place.” 16:09 “There are only two choices when you leave this earth – you're either going up or you are going down. Our Lord is a kind, loving God, but he is a jealous God, and he can be an angry God when he's pushed and disrespected, or he sees you worshiping false gods before him. No excuses. “ 22:13 “Start investing right now, right this minute, speak to the Lord Jesus, He is your personal intercessor and represents your place in heaven. What is there to even think about? Like Nike says, just do it baby. And you just start by speaking to him.” Timestamps: 01:51 What the science marketers do to have people open their emails and newsletter’s. 04:14 Diversifying your portfolio and investing wisely. 04:50 Investing in your eternal future. 06:00 How often do you speak with the Lord? 06:49 Your relationships with the people around you and the Almighty God. 08:30 The story of Jesus preventing the Pharisees to stone the woman who sinned. 10:00 Being humble and not judging others. 11:42 How much or how little of your time do you invest in your spiritual life? 15:09 How our careers consume who we are. 18:04 Talking about death and suicide. 20:06 God created us for a specific purpose, not to drift around aimlessly for all eternity. 22:40 What “Speak to Me” is about. 23:43 Listen to “Speak to Me” by James Kevin O’Connor Spotify Playlist: Our dHarmic Rising Stars Spotify playlist continuously grows!

Jade Simmons is the fabulous guest we have today on this episode of dHarmic Evolution, this is going to be so inspiring! She is a creator of transformational experiences designed to activate audiences into becoming the biggest, boldest version of themselves possible. Ladies and gentleman, you better strap up your seatbelts because we're taking a ride today with Jade Simmons!   Jade Simmons is a world-class concert artist who has been called a “musical force of nature” (Yamaha Music) with an “uncanny ability to connect with the sounds of today” (Seattle Times). Jade is the CEO of Jade Media Global, a revolutionary live experience and global content distribution company specializing in 360º personal development and strategic transformation.   During her early career after graduating from Northwestern and Rice Universities, she performed in recital and with orchestra as a classical pianist in renowned halls, including the hallowed ones of the White House and the US Supreme Court. Following an artistic epiphany, she pivoted from playing the piano to impress audiences, to using music as the vehicle by which to provide the inspiration, entertainment, and transformation that profoundly moves them instead.   Nicknamed “Classical Music’s #1 Maverick,” her electrifying, genre-bending concert adventures span Rachmaninoff all the way to rap and include virtuoso storytelling, uncommon insights, and boundless inspiration. Today, Jade’s experiences not only delight concert audiences, but her dazzling, high-impact presentations are fast becoming the go-to fuel for organizations looking to reconnect their people to greater purpose, inspire seismic shifts in mindset, and activate their teams and leaders to instantly start living more consequential lives of impact.   Recently named one of the Best Keynote Speakers of 2019 and 2020, Jade’s impact spans a multitude of industries and transcends audience demographics. The world’s superlative brands and organizations from financial services, biotech, entertainment, education, energy and beyond are bringing Jade in. The born storyteller is also a stellar mindset strategist fluent in the language of high achievers .   In her inimitable career as a concert pianist, Jade has remained committed to expanding the boundaries of Classical music and its presentation, and as a result she has revolutionized the concert platform. Today, her notably diverse audiences have come to expect creative projects backed by riveting performances.   Ms. Simmons has toured the US extensively in recital and with orchestra, highlighted by performances at venues as wide-ranging as Ravinia, the Chicago Sinfonietta in Symphony Hall, New York's Town Hall, Detroit Institute of Arts, and the White House. She has been named one of the Best of South By Southwest and has also received the Sphinx Organization's Medal of Excellence in a concert held at the US Supreme Court and hosted by Justice Sonia Sotomayor.   Often the first, the founder, or at the forefront, Jade was the first New Music/New Places fellow for the prestigious Concert Artist Guild, and she was the original face of the legendary Van Cliburn International Piano competition’s webcast. She’s also the beloved voice of Decomposed, the critically-acclaimed American Public Media podcast that turned classic music storytelling on its head. The show has been heralded in Time, Esquire, Indie Wire, and BBC America .   Simmons continues to make an unexpected impact on and away from the stage. As an ordained minister and author, she challenges us to pray bigger with the best-selling Audacious Prayers for World Changers. An equal-opportunity disrupter, in 2020, the Maverick made her boldest leap yet as founder of Operation Restoration, which powered her run as an Independent candidate for President of the United States. Her platforms prioritize people and unifying policies over politics as usual.   Let’s give Jade Simmons a warm dHarmic evolution welcome, as we learn more about her audacious journey from being pianist to her run for the Presidency. Her life stories, her music, her words of wisdom will truly move you, and you definitely should share this with your friends and family as well. Let this be an inspiration of what greater things everyone can achieve!   More about Jade Simmons Check out more of her inspiring stories and experience Jade Simmons! Check out all the links below for her social media pages and website to get to know more about her and what she does. Quotes: 03:59 “It's not an easy path to pick. But that's the wonder of childhood – is you don't know any better. And my parents, I'm still blessed to have them both, and the way that they've raised me and my sister has been that we really do believe we can do anything that we put our mind to.” 13:21 “I started very early, being able to combine my love of other things outside of music, with music and with speaking and that sort of started helping me really differentiate from other concert artists.”   34:58 “As a musician, you hope for the standing O. So, to me, I didn't know it was a big deal to get the standing O, until it started showing up in the first speaker we've ever had that had a standing ovation. So then I started, “Why are people really standing up?” And my goal has become, “I don't want you to stand up just because you thought what I just did was awesome.” That's one level of standing ovation. The deepest level of standing O for me is when people stand up because they feel awesome. Something in them has activated, has switched on.”   38:46 “You're never not a minister. You’re just never not and, I am literally an ordained minister, my Christian faith is extremely important to me, it is 90% of who I am, as a person and forms everything, it's my compass.”   55:50 “Your purpose is not the thing you do, your purpose is what happens in others when you do what you do.” And then I realized the piano was only one vehicle in which I got to ride out my purpose. What purpose was – was what was happening in that audience, the fact that they were seeing the creative side of themselves are feeling activated to go after something – that was purpose. And I realized, “Oh, my purpose personally, Jade's purpose, is to activate people into becoming a bigger, bolder version themselves, the one that I believe God created them to be. “   Timestamps:   01:12 Introducing Jade Simmons 03:15 How did being a concert pianist come into Jade’s world? 04:53 Jade tells about how blessed she is with her parents. 08:20 When was the first time Jade told herself that she’s going to be on stages? 11:51 Jade shares how it all worked out for her on choosing her market and where she fits in. 13:32 The genesis of Jade’s discovery of how she can combine music and the other things she loves. 18:19Listen to “The Flight” by Jade Simmons 23:07 How Jade created “The Flight” with different remixes. 24:51 How does Jade Simmons balance practice with all the other things she does? 25:52 The story behind how Jade started and went about doing  motivational speaking? 31:42 Does Jade Simmons get to choose her own piano?

Stone Senate is a Southern Rock Band from Nashville Tennessee. They have been called “a heavier version of Lynyrd Skynyrd, crossed with The Allman Brothers Band.” While being mentioned in such heady company is flattering, one thing that they are most definitely not, is a “retro act.” They take what comes naturally from their collective influences, and then took it a step further. You better strap up your seat belts, because we’re going to hang out today with Stone Senate! Meet the members of the band! Fronted by lead vocalist/guitarist Clint Woolsey’s smoldering, soulful vocals and unmistakable stage presence, stage left and stage right are burning with the dual lead guitars of James Edwards and Ted Hennington. Add to these the blood bonded rhythm section of “The Mud Brothers”- Paul Zettler on bass/vocals and David Zettler on drums/vocals and you have just caught lightning in a bottle. This band has built their audience through relentless touring year round, along with radio tours inserted into the schedule. Having been together since 2012, the band is able to widen their collective setlist while throwing in band and audience favorites of Country and Rock legendary songs. With over 500 shows throughout the US in the last few years, Stone Senate is steadily adding more and more dates each year and looking forward to some great new music in 2022! Let’s get to know them more as we are joined by Clint Woolsey and talk about the band and how their success story started. It's time to give a warm dHarmic evolution welcome to Stone Senate!   More about Stone Senate Check out all the links below and follow Stone Senate on their social media pages, they also have a website where you can check out all the great things that they offer! Quotes: 22:16 “It took a few years, but it was kind of almost worth the wait, man. Because this to me – this lineup is just about perfect. Everybody's really, really close. We get along, and everybody's shooting for the same goal of being able to really make a living playing music. So everybody really goes the extra mile to make anything like this happen for us. So it's a great group of guys, man, that's for sure, I'm lucky to be with.”   26:07 “I tell you what, that was really the only option that we had starting out was just to play as many shows, as many places that we could. So we kind of took just about every show that was offered, if we could physically make it there in time. But we take it, no matter what the money was. A lot of times, there wasn't any money, it was just an opportunity for us. ”   38:25 “I think the biggest challenge is getting enough sleep. But we all love playing music and we really all love playing music with each other. So that's really what's driving us to get out on the road.”   41:55 “We're still still running hard, man, and loving just about every minute of it, even the break.”   52:39 “ I just say to any of the upcoming musicians just to get out there and play, play, play man.Play live and rehearse as much as humanly possible because that seemed to really help me in the band, as a whole lot.”   Timestamps: 01:06 Introducing Stone Senate 02:44 Catching up with Clint of Stone Senate 06:02 The places that Stone Senate goes for their tours. 07:13 Clint shares their experience in Sturgis. 12:40 Listen to “Down” by Stone Senate 16:42 Clint tells us about the band and the members 18:13 How long did it take them to find their sound and develop their personality as a band? 20:37 Where did they grow up, and how did the band first connect?  22:56 Clint talks about their style of music and the guitar solos in it. 25:24 Clint tells us how touring helped them build a really solid fanbase. 29:16 What does Stone Senate’s creative process look like? 31:47 Listen to “Whiskey Helps” by Stone Senate 35:52 Clint talks about their experience while recording “Whiskey Helps.” 37:54 What is the most appealing part of that whole experience when they're out on the road? 42:55 How do they get the chance and opportunity for new songs even when they are on the road? 44:32 How did Clint personally first get the idea that he will be a musician and that this will be his life? 51:45 Celebrating the newest release of Stone Senate: Dusk  52:10 Clints shares his last words for their collective audience, especially to the newer musicians 54:15 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor   Spotify Playlist:   If you haven’t seen the dHarmic Rising Stars Spotify playlist, check it out on the links below.

We’ve got a really special guest today. She is an author and a public speaker. She is also a wife, and a mother of seven. Are you ready for a story of tragedy, turned into triumph? Strap up your seatbelts, we are going to St. Louis, Missouri to visit Colleen Murphy today for a very inspiring conversation!   In 2013, tragedy struck Colleen’s family when her second oldest daughter Lauren, was hit by a car and suffered severe brain damage. Colleen's main focus became helping piece Lauren back together again. With the help of specialists from all over the country, her family, her friends, as well as her strong faith.    Today, Colleen and Lauren speak together as a team inspiring thousands of people by sharing the details of Lauren's tragic accident, never-give-up attitude, and her miraculous recovery. Colleen lives with her husband Dave, and she spends her free time fielding countless phone calls from her children as they deal with the challenges of adulting, and assisting her husband via FaceTime as he struggles to find things at the grocery store.   Colleen Murphy is a writer and her recent work, “Murphys Don’t Quit: 5 Keys to Unlocking Hope When Life Seems Hopeless” was released last October 5th. It talks about the raw story of the accident and a story of hope and resilience as one family rallies together during a tragedy. Today, we are blessed to hear their family’s story and how they were able to overcome everything together, and also the 5 keys to unlocking hope that they talk about in the book.   It’s going to be an exciting and inspirational ride today as we visit Missouri with Colleen Murphy here in this episode of dHarmic Evolution!   More about Colleen Murphy Don’t forget to support Colleen’s book and check out their website and social media pages to see what’s new and what they are up to. All links are provided below! Quotes: 07:57 “ They also have a life to live, and I don't want everything just to be around trauma, right? It's important for us to make sure that they have the most normal life that they could even if things were different. I didn't want them to have to give up their sports teams or all their extracurricular activities. So that was like a big, big goal of my husband and mine early on. To make sure life continued as close to normal as possible for the rest of the kids. “   13:12 “So there's always a positive. Something we learned early on, look for the positive. That was their positive attitude.”   18:37 “ Writing has always kind of been my therapy. I am not a private person. I mean, my husband always says he could never run for office, because I’ll be blah-blah-blah, but it's always kind of been my therapy. But my twist on it in my writing style is – and it's a gift I got from my late father – I find humor in everything. Even when we're in the thick of things with the kids. I had a blog that I started back in 2008, and at the end of the day, especially when I had a really stressful day, I would sit at the computer and say, “Okay, what was funny about today?”   33:59 “One of the professors that she works with told me something early on, that was like, the best advice she could give me when we were working on the commencement address. She said, “If it's perfect, it's not inspirational.” I'm like, “You know, you're right.” It is the imperfection that makes this such a wonderful story. I mean, here's a girl that was never supposed to be able to speak or understand words, and she's speaking in front of 3000 people. So I have to always remember that, I can't expect her to not have deficits. “   42:04 “Number one, never give up. No matter what people tell you, never give up, just have faith and I get it that, “our story”, it doesn't always turn out that way, but there's always hope. You just don't know, just put one foot in front of the other, every day is better. You're gonna have some really, really tough days, but hang in there, the next day will be better.”   Timestamps:   01:16 Introducing Colleen Murphy 03:58 What are the five keys to unlocking hope? 05:53 The age spread in ages amongst Colleen’s seven children and how they reacted to their situation. 08:25 Colleen talks about Lauren’s life before the accident. 09:29 Colleen shares how they started having Lauren professionally taken care of. 11:15 How did the Murphy’s handle all the siblings getting in to see her and coming in and helping? 13:16 Colleen tells about her experience in handling the stress and seeing through what happened. 15:30 How did the accident happen? 16:38 What point did they see the light that they are able to connect back with Lauren?  18:18 When did the book idea first occur with Colleen? 20:36 How did Colleen feel about her grief that shadowed her creative abilities? 23:33 Colleen’s shares her take on using pen and paper and a computer. 25:22 Any aspirations for Colleen to write another book? 26:46 How did the speaking get into Colleen’s repertoire, is that something Lauren was doing? 29:32 How does Colleen feel when she’s speaking alongside Lauren? 31:15 Colleen takes us through a gig and the whole experience of them speaking. 34:46 How do Colleen and Lauren manage both of their schedules on doing speeches. 37:38 How did they get professional athletes and Taylor Swift involved to help and support? 39:46 The feeling of having a wonderful community and support system. 41:30 Colleen’s words of wisdom especially to those who are experiencing tragedies. 43:28 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor   Spotify Playlist:   We are already on our 4th playlist, and we’ve got over 100 artists who are alumni of dHarmic Evolution.

It was a real pleasure to do the interview with an awesome guest today on this episode of dHarmic Evolution. We have this gentleman who is a soldier, a troubadour, a singer and a songwriter. He is many things! But most importantly, he is a man who walks with God. Strap up your seatbelts, we’re going to hang out today with Scott Edward Jones from Erie, Pennsylvania!   Scott graduated from Pine Crest Bible College in 1991, and has served in many capacities at Erie First assembly of God since 1996. Scott’s ministry was born to a faith walk in the Lord Jesus Christ through hardship and happy times. His songs are well crafted, catchy and easy to sing along with. God has been preparing him for this season of ministry since he sang his first “song unto the Lord,” back in 1969. All his songs are rooted in the scripture and are doctrinally sound in the evangelical traditions.    There is a lot of wisdom engrained in Scott. We had a very spirited and valuable conversation and I hope we will take to heart all the lessons and the suggestions that he has been so profound in sharing with us today.

Sometimes you have to be torn down to be built back up properly, that's what he did for me on that deployment.” 20:57 “There's other people out there that have felt unworthy of love. They don't feel that they're good enough, or they've made too many mistakes, or they've just got their own records of their past. I'm here to tell them, you're worthy of love too.” 21:39 “There’s an interesting quote, brother James, that said, “God told me to forgive my enemies. So I forgave myself.”” 27:35 “Honestly, my ultimate goal is, I'm singing my songs to an audience of one. My songs are really just, you're getting a little peek into my prayer life. I'm sharing intimate thoughts with my Savior, with God. They’re songs of praise, most of them, all of them really, some more than others. But it's an audience of one. Really, my overall goal is that when I stand before God, on my judgement day, he says “Well done, good and faithful servant.” and turn for your rest and turn to the kingdom. So that's where I'm at.”   42:52 “ So to me, it’s if I'm speaking the truth, if that makes you not like me, that's the price I have to pay.”   46:22 “We only know in part, we only see in part. If you'll watch that video, I'm carrying a crown. That's my purpose. So I know my purpose, I know why I'm here now. I know my lane, and I'm walking in the confidence of that.”   48:18 “If you feel that God's called you to do something, do more than make a decision, take an action.”   Timestamps:   01:34 Introducing Scott Edward Jones 03:24 Scott tells how he first got acclimated and got into the service. 07:58 How was  Scott’s experience when he first got to Afghanistan? 09:40 Scott shared how he met God in his deployment and how it changed his life. 11:41 How his encounter with God gave him a sense of inner calm to deal with his circumstance better 14:10 The reason why there were issues with his unit and how he stood up for justice. 16:34 Listen to “Worthy of Love” by Scott Edward Jones. 19:25 The story behind “Worthy of Love” 22:32 What is a good safe place for Scott to do his dialect therapy and share what’s going on?   25:35 The approach in music and the process of creating songs for Scott Edward Jones. 29:29 Does Scott pile his work and come back to it, or just makes it all done until he finishes it? 31:27 Listen to “Signs of Apocalypse” by Scott Edward Jones. 35:38 Scott shares his thoughts watching all the “Signs of Apocalypse” unfold on a day to day basis? 40:17 As a Christian, who's a writer, singer-songwriter, when Scott looks out and sees all the craziness going on, does it affect him? 47:07 Scott’s words of wisdom, prayer, and blessing to the audience. 51:28 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor   Spotify Playlist:   Hey, have you checked out the Spotify playlist yet?

We’re going to hang out with an awesome young lady today who is soon to be another dHarmic rising star alumni. She is a worship leader at Ethos Church and she is also writing, producing and releasing her own music, plus completing her degree in commercial music. Strap up your seatbelts because we’re going to take a ride today to the Music City in Nashville Tennessee, with Natalie Layne! Natalie learned to lead worship and write her own songs from several worship pastors, including Cory Asbury, Jon Egan, and Jared Anderson. By the time she was 14, she was leading teams of musicians at the New Life church, serving in their children and youth ministries. In high school and college, she traveled to other churches across America leading worship and sharing her original songs. Natalie describes her sound as “CCM, always with a hint of R&B.” Her EP, “Where Soul Meets the Sound'' combines several musical genres to create a unique musical style. After releasing singles, “Burn Every Ship,” “Gracious,” and “You”, she began creating a full album, “Be Human'' that was released on the 3rd of July 2020. Get to know more about this young lady, hear her stories, her creative process and even her future plans.

All the links to her social media and music platforms are available below. Check out her pages and support her work and music. Quotes: 8:48 I love it all, I do. That's how I knew I wanted to be an artist. I was like, “I love every part of this process, so maybe I should do this forever.“ 15:31 “Steady'' was actually a song that we wrote over Zoom during the first week of COVID stuff happening, just when we were needing something steady. I think everybody was feeling that way. So, we wanted to capture that in the recording and the mixing in the master of like, “there's something we're needing here and we're needing an energy behind it to express that.” 20:27 I think actually, it can be kind of dangerous if we're like, “the process has to be like this.” Because, it just limits so much of the creativity and, so much of the fun, and child likeness and discovery of it being whatever it's gonna be for that song.  45:53 I think stuff like that to people are like, “I need an hour or two hours to do that, and I don't have that much time.” That's not true. Well, you can do something in five minutes, that will totally change the rest of your day. 48:25 I always think about, if I could go back and talk to myself at the beginning of college, maybe that would be the time I would need somebody to just tell me to just chill out, because it's gonna be okay, it's gonna work out fine.

Quotes: 09:04 “As an artist, whatever you're creating, your influences show up in one-way shape or form.” 19:47 “A simple love song but I kind of went beyond just the initial feelings of love. When you first fall in love and the stars and everything in your hearts. I really feel that love is a commitment. There may be days where you don't feel like loving your spouse or your kids but you're committed to them so you love them all the same. That feeling is going to pass, you'll makeup and everything will be fine but it's about that “You can always depend on me, I'm going to be your castle on the rock, immovable, unshakable. I'm here for you, I love you, and I always will.” 42:34 “I'm thankful we have a nice big backyard that goes about 100 yards deep and there's a pond and you know, a nice wooded area, we have a fire pit in the back. Nothing better than to just spend an evening by the fire, family and friends, and just chilling. My wife and I love to just relax and watch movies or documentaries and stuff on Netflix or Amazon just to kind of wind down. Of course, I love being with my family. We love to travel, haven't traveled for a good long time, but we love to travel and just discover new things and stuff. So we're pretty low-key.” 50:58 ”I think what comes to mind is just be yourself. Be authentic. I don't think we need any more copycats. I think that the artists that get the most respect over time are those that are the most original... I think the music industry is really hungry for more artists and bands like that. So I would really encourage you to be that person to make that bold step and put out something like that.” Timestamps:  00:44     Introducing Radio Drive’s Kevin Gullickson 02:25     The new release of Radio Drive’s album 03:17     A backstory of how James got connected to Stuart Epps through Kevin.    07:33     What was his impetus on the new album? 10:41     Kevin shares about Minnesota and the city he is near. 13:15     Listen to “It’s  Who I Am” by Radio Drive 19:07     What is “It’s Who I Am” about? 20:35     How was “It’s Who I Am” built and played out? 23:58     Kevin about using AirGigs. 25:14     How does Kevin put all the tracks together? 26:54     The tools that Kevin uses and likes working in. 29:58     Kevin shares about his awards and how they started out. 32:08     The level of work that Kevin has to put in to keep things going 33:54     Listen to “Let My Love Be The Proof” by Radio Drive 39:05     The bright spots and challenges of doing promotional avenues that he does. 42:15     What does Kevin like to do to chill out? 43:19     Kevin’s favorite place for gigs. 44:39     Artists, genre, and the types of music that Kevin likes to listen to. 47:39     What are Kevin's aspirations and what is he looking forward towards in 2022? 49:43     The best place to connect with Kevin Gullickson. 50:25     Kevin’s shoutout and last words of wisdom especially to the youngsters and upcoming musicians 52:55     Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor Spotify Playlist:  Check out our three Spotify playlists and be amazed by the great artists that we’ve already had as guests for dHarmic Evolution.

Since we only have special people here in the dHarmic Evolution, we got a really special young lady to join us today.  Strap up your seatbelts, because we’re taking a ride today from the Music City all the way to Georgia. Ladies and gentlemen, we’ve got Beth Crowley! Beth first gained recognition on YouTube back in 2011. She was inspired by a comedic group called Axis of Awesome and she posted a medley of popular songs titled, “Greatest Song Ever Written.” The song was quickly picked up by Reddit, BuzzFeed, and Tumblr, and now this video has over a million views on YouTube. From 2014, Beth already has released one full-length album, two EPs, and numerous singles. Her book-inspired music includes songs based on the Dark Artifices series, The Divergent series, the Lunar Chronicles, Harry Potter, the Hunger Games, The Fault in Our Stars, the Shatter Me series, and many more. She's also written several commissioned custom songs for books and book series. Coming from Nashville and now back in Georgia, Beth continues to write and release new music. She's also started writing her first young adult novel. It was a real pleasure learning about Beth Crowley, her music, and all the things that she’s doing in her book. There’s a lot more to see of her in the future. But for now, let’s get to know more about her here on the dHarmic Evolution! More about Beth Crowley Beth Crowley wants to thank her listeners for continuing to support her dream of writing meaningful music, and if you haven’t listened to her yet, check out all her links below. She is most active on Instagram as it is more interactive, but you can look at all the social media platforms provided below! Quotes: 04:20 “I think a lot of people had that moment this past year of being like, “Why am I away from things that are important to me if I don't have to be?” 13:00 “I love lyrics and I love language and I just had the imagery for this song of where storms are, like very impactful and sometimes terrible but I was fascinated by the idea that there are people that actually seek them out like they get some kind of reward out of going into the storms rather than going away from them.” 19:11 “My ideal situation is to be able to traditionally publish this book and have the soundtrack that goes with it and be able to tour and actually play. Like, have a book tour and play music at the same time. I think that would be such a cool format for touring.” 23:27 “I hope that I'm in a position someday where I would be able to have a series of shows and not have to worry about nobody showing up for them. Because I've definitely been there where I had a show that just nobody came to and that's very humbling.” 37:45 “It really is an interesting combination of being so satisfied with the music but also, all of the memories and associations that come with the experience and so I'm just really grateful that I think that's probably something that not everyone is lucky enough to have, that they not only have an album that they really believe in but they had a great experience doing it, and so just everything about it was more than I could have hoped for.” 47:54 “I would say the biggest thing is don't go for that instantaneous viral moment. Build a foundation, which takes time. If you're building a house, you build a foundation, and you do it slowly and carefully, so you can have the rest of the house be supported by that. It doesn't have to happen quickly. If you stick with it, and you work hard, it's not like a guarantee that stuff will happen for you, but it certainly increases your chances. But you have to make things happen for yourself. You can't sit back and wait for them to happen.” Timestamps:  01:06     Introducing Beth Crowley 02:32     How was Beth’s move from Nashville to Georgia? 07:04     Listen to “Storm Chaser” by Beth Crowley 10:59     What is the metaphor and what is Storm Chaser about? 13:41     How was her experience filming a video of the writing process for Storm Chaser? 15:12     How was Beth’s process of creating a song? 17:17     What are Beth’s tricks on hanging onto the ideas and getting something 18:24     Aside from being a songwriter, Beth is also writing books and is writing her first novel. 20:12     Is Beth performing or has any plans on taking her music to Georgia? 21:54     The advantages of using online platforms to reach out to a larger audience 23:47     Beth shares about live streaming on YouTube, Facebook, and other platforms. 28:09     What is “YOU’RE EXHAUSTING” about? 29:25     Listen to “YOU’RE EXHAUSTING” by Beth Crowley 32:30     Beth shares the production of her songs and how she met her producer, 35:46     How was Beth’s first album project back in 2014? 40:25     What does Beth do for downtime or chilling out? 43:26     What is Beth’s main instrument? 44:10     What are Beth’s goals in the future? 46:15     What is the best place for people to connect with Beth Crowley? 47:31     What does Beth want to say to the audience, especially the young upcoming musicians? 49:34     Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor Spotify Playlist:  Check out our three dHarmic Rising Stars playlists and listen to great artists who have been a guest on the show.

Are you ready for a ride to New York? We’re going to visit an awesome man today. He's a singer, songwriter, musician, and also worship leader at Gracepoint Gospel Fellowship. James Koan III joins us on this episode of dHarmic Evolution! James’ songwriting incorporates lyrical poetry as I do. It is combined with rock, pop, punk, melodies, folk, influenced sonic soundscapes, with an indie-rock edge pulling influences from artists, such as Switchfoot, Relient K, The Beatles, Colony House, and the Beach Boys. These awesome sounds are right on the show today! We will be listening to his first single “Neanderthals” that has a punchy pop-punk cut, followed by “You Are There,” an acoustic rock ballad inspired by the Psalms. Get to know more about this young man, listen to his great music, and see his aspirations in the future. Let’s give a warm dHarmic Evolution welcome for James Koan III! More about James Koan III While James is still working on his website, make sure to follow and support him on Instagram and Facebook to get updates on what he is currently doing. You can out-check all the links provided below! Quotes: 03:31 “I'm honored to think that it's at a high standard. Sometimes I wish it could be even better than that, but I’m always trying to challenge myself.” 20:46 “...when I had the opportunity to play music, I just realized this is what I'm supposed to do. This is what God has given me as a gift, and he's calling me to use it for His glory.” 40:29 “Maybe it's almost eight years ago now officially, but when I was writing this, it was just a means of a reminder. I think I was looking to find the answers and the situation where I was just a little sad and confused and I looked and I found it. Well, of course I mean, everyone knows Psalm 23. But looking into Psalm 139 where it says you've searched me, Lord, you know me, you know when I sit, when I rise and you understand everything about me, and if I ascend into the highest heavens, you're there, for making my bed in the depths of Sheol, you're there. That whole idea I just thought, “I want to put this in the song.” 50:37 “For me, I would love to share the songs on the road and network with other artists that have made it big. If I could get myself to the top, I mean, I will. But all in God's timing and if it's in his will. The thing I have to understand is that I can't rush the process, you have to enjoy the experience.” 52:44 “I guess for other worship leaders that are out there listening to this, who may be looking for a place in between where you want to honor God with your music, but you don't know if that's just in the church. Know that the church is a place that God has put you for a time, and he will put you there, but there is also a world that we have yet to reach. I would say, don't be afraid to take risks, don't be afraid to try something new and different, and be willing to be told you're wrong.” 55:57 “I think I love that you're encouraging other people and innovating or working with other innovators and helping others have a platform to share what God has put on their heart.” Timestamps:   01:54 Introducing James Koan III 03:50 James shares about Arizona. 05:44 James talks about why he moved out to New York. 08:19 A little backstory on what ”Neanderthals” is about. 11:15 Listen to “Neanderthals” by James Koan III 16:10 James brings us to the studio while putting together” Neanderthals” 18:44 James Koan III as a worship leader 23:44 James shares his responsibilities and highlights of being a worship leader 28:17 The tremendous amount of work that is included in every week’s worship services 34:20 Listen to “You Are There” by James Koan III 37:20 The production and the instruments included in “You are there” 39:58 The story and the references of the song “You Are There” 45:18 What does James like to do when he is not creating, writing, or putting together worship? 48:18 What are James' aspirations and what is he looking forward to in the future? 52:07 James’ shoutout and a wish of prayer as a closing for the audience 56:32 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor Spotify Playlist: Have you guys tuned in yet to the dHarmic Rising Stars Spotify playlists?

We’ve got another killer singer-songwriter to welcome to the dHarmic Evolution. Hailing from Wexford, Pennsylvania, she's an independent R&B soul-pop artist, who has an absolutely stunning career going on in the music industry. Strap up your seatbelts as we go to Nashville to meet DANiiVORY. Dani always had music in her life. Her mom was a music teacher, a liturgical minister and encouraged her to pursue her passion for music. She went on to obtain a higher education at the esteemed and famous Berklee College of Music, graduated with a dual degree in contemporary writing and production and vocal performance. Dani has done it all! She's toured with Beyonce, small theaters, and big theaters. She is currently living in Nashville, Tennessee with her husband and daughter, where she continues to write and record music with influences that range from Janet Jackson to The Beatles. Dani has crafted a dreamy electronic pop sound that is all her own. Let’s listen together to this amazing singer-songwriter as we feature some of her great songs like “Blackout” and “Pink Lightning.” We’ll also get to know more about her, her experiences and also some future plans. Check out this episode of dHarmic Evolution with DANiiVORY! More about DANiiVORY Support DANiiVORY and her music. Follow her on Instagram and check on her website and Facebook page to see what her upcoming schedules are. All links are provided below! Quotes: 05:23 “..trying to balance having an infant child and still trying to pursue music and figure out okay, “Well, what sessions can I do? What can I not do? Is this gonna be worth my time?” That's what gets hard. So that's when it's like, if you have family close, definitely tap into that resource.” 17:44 “...I would lay down, like just a basic piano track and come up with ideas. Sometimes I'd be on the bus. I would come up with the lyrical idea, I'd record voice memos on my phone. Any songwriter probably has like millions of voicemail recordings” 25:12 “It was really more about the personal growth I was able to have as a performer and a young upcoming singer-songwriter, and seeing what it takes to be successful in that area of entertainment.” 36:47 “Don't stop, Keep it up. Keep going. Work on your craft. You just got to show up on the page and even if you don't feel like it, and it's a hard day, just push through it. You don't have to feel inspired every day but from there you can find the inspiration I feel like so it's just so important that you show up. Don't give up. Because just like anything else, an author they're not going to always come up with like their award-winning story every time they go to write something but you know they sit down every day and they show up at the page and they write, so it's in the monotony I guess on some of those days that you can find magic, I think.” Timestamps: 01:11 Introducing DANiiVORY 03:02 How is Dani’s musical life fitting around now that she is a mom of a wonderful daughter? 04:13 Dani shares her transition from LA to Nashville. 06:53 Listen to “Blackout” by DANiiVORY. 10:27 A little backstory on how Dani came up with “Blackout.” 12:47 Dani tells about her experiences in Thailand. 16:10 A peek inside the studio and production on how they arrived at the sound of “Blackout.” 18:16 Listen to “Pink Lightning” by DANiiVORY 21:57 How was Dani’s experience touring with Beyoncé 24:03 Dani shares her personal take on the tour with Beyoncé as an artist and a performer. 25:28 What are the favorite gigs that Dani likes to do? 27:38 Dani talks about her mom being a music teacher and a minister. 29:33 What is  Berklee College of Music like? 31:32 Did the school help out with organizing her schedules day-to-day? 33:53 How was your experience with CeeLo Green? 34:33 What is life looking like for DANiiVORY in the next coming months and the end of the year? 35:27 The best place to connect to DANiiVORY 36:28 Dani’s words of wisdom and message to the upcoming singer-songwriters. 38:22 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor   Spotify Playlist: Have you seen and heard our third Spotify playlist yet?

Let's head out to Lancaster Pennsylvania today, where soul and pop is not on everyone’s playlist. But, we’ve got a truly original artist who treats her lyrical composition and vocal delivery with the same respect as an artist taking their brush strokes to a fresh virgin canvas. This makes perfect sense as her influences include Corinne Bailey Rae, Tori Kelly, and Stevie Wonder. We’re never put in a genre-exclusive category, so why should her music be?  She is soulful, with a youthful overlay of pop but also intertwined with her love of folk music and alt-rock.  We’re going to hang out with none other than Kiana Corley! Kiana is a multi-instrumentalist. She started at the early age of 12. She alluded to the fact that, if you play different instruments, it gives you a different perspective on songs, songwriting, and production. In Kiana’s most recent album, the songs follow a storyline of a young romance, which started on shaky ground with two people pretending it was solid. She's extremely motivated by helping and inspiring others through her authentically original music. Her music video premiered on Celeb Secrets this year, and she also signed a distribution deal with Heart Songs Records. Get to know more of her, and get to listen to a solid, wonderful style, and an eclectic mix of all of the best stuff ever heard on this episode of the dHarmic Evolution with Kiana Corley. More about Kiana Corley Kiana is mostly on her Instagram, but all the links on how you can find here are provided below. Check out and support Kiana and her amazing music. Quotes: 08:45 “ I just feel like if you make music that good, it's always gonna just resurface in some way, just for the years to go on. Like, I think they definitely deserve to be forever growing. “ 17:22 “I'm really blessed to be able to have that ability to share things in my life with people. Especially because I'm definitely not a person that talks about myself in a regular sense. I'm not going to tell you my whole life when we first meet, but I will share that with you if you listen to things that I wrote. That's kind of my way of teaching people about myself.” 38:03 “I try to just take care of my body as much as I can. Because I think that if you don't do some sort of movement, or some sort of meditation, or journaling, or anything like that, it can catch up to you. Your mental well-being and your physical well-being are definitely connected I believe, and they're both equally as important.” 41:00 “Just really pursue the honest opportunities and be honest with yourself about what you want as an artist and what you can bring. Be confident too, because everybody brings something different and all of it is needed. There's a space for all of it. There's a place for literally every artist, I really truly believe that, as well. So, keep going.” Timestamps:  01:28     Introducing Kiana Corley 04:04     What did Kiana listen to growing up that got her into classically written songs? 09:33     Listen to “Chestnut” by  Kiana Corley 12:40     Kiana tells us about the song “Chestnut.” 14:05     Kiana took us back to the time when she felt in her heart that she is becoming a songwriter. 18:42     When did Kiana feel like she was growing as a songwriter, and embraced and owned it? 22:57     Listen to “Lukewarm” by  Kiana Corley 26:35     The metaphor behind the song “Lukewarm” 28:12     When did Kiana realize that she has lasered on the sound, timbre, and style that she has now? 30:24     What music school did Kiana go to? 31:22     How did Kiana become a multi-instrumentalist? 32:31     Kiana shares the people she works with, the production, and how her songs are born. 37:34     Outside of music, what does Kiana do in her downtime? 39:24     Kiana’s message and words of wisdom for the younger musicians and the best place to connect. 42:39     Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor Spotify Playlist:  We’ve completed the THIRD Spotify playlist and are about to hit publish.

Crystal Mcgrath, A Multi-Passionate Woman, Inspires All Through Music and Coaching We are going all the way up to Calgary, Canada today as we meet with a musician, activist, podcast host and inspirational influencer. She is a multi-passionate entrepreneur, inspiring individuals to live to their highest potential. Let’s welcome to the show, Crystal McGrath! Crystal’s latest single “About a Boy” was released last June 2021. She blends a pop drum beat with a traditional country backing band to create a sound that is all her own. It tells the story of a confident girl who still longs for the connection from a relationship and finds herself distracted with the memories of her past. Her style blends two different musical flavors into something that any music fan would enjoy! Crystal does not only do music, she's also an advocate for women's empowerment, and wants women to feel that they can go after any goal that they hope to achieve. To promote this message, she founded “Live with Love,'' an online platform with the mission of helping women live their best life through movement and mindset. She also has a podcast, “Crushing Chaos,” and she can also be seen regularly hosting her video podcast, “The Artists Behind The Music.” Crystal lives by the words of poet John Greenleaf Whittier’s poem “Don’t Quit” to which she also shares with us in this episode. Her personal mission statement is to inspire individuals to live their best life and she does it through many different ways. We are about to learn more about this here on the dHarmic Evolution with Crystal Mcgrath. More about Crystal Mcgrath The best way for Crystal to paint the whole picture, share stories, and connect is through her Instagram, but you could also check out all her social media links below to see how she inspires people in many different ways. Quotes: 07:18 “It was nice to have something positive to focus on during this crazy time, just constantly pivoting and being creative with how we can still do music in a way that we're affecting people but not leaving this space.”   12:12 “It's okay not to be okay and just acknowledging that those days will happen and just taking care of yourself through those moments allow you to really succeed and shine on the days where you're feeling good.”   25:55 “My personal mission statement is to inspire individuals to live their best life. And I really try to do that through my music, through my coaching, through my fitness company, through my podcasting, through conversation, and connection, and through social media.”   34:35 “It's just so important to be healthy and fill your body with healthy things…”   36:50 “I love combining music coaching with movement coaching and meditation coaching. I love combining all of them for clients just to have a really well rounded experience on how I can show up as my best so I can perform my best?”   39:50 “It's been a long journey of really being okay, with this is who I am and it doesn't matter what other people are doing. It doesn't matter what other people are saying, or thinking, or feeling. Let them be them, and let me be me. Really giving myself permission to step into my powers has really been a big thing for me the past few years.”   Timestamps:   01:42 Introducing Crystal Mcgrath 04:34 Crystal tells us about her experience in touring and visiting Australia. 06:23 How did Crystal survive the pandemic and where did she spend most of her time? 08:06 Crystal shares her timeline in releasing her songs in the midst of the pandemic. 09:35 With all the depression with artists, how would Crystal rate where she is emotionally? 12:51 Listen to “About a Boy” by Crystal Mcgrath 16:19 How was “About A Boy” made? 18:23 The sense of freedom that she felt having another artist write a song for her. 20:59 Crystal takes us to her studio experience while producing “About a Boy.” 23:07 How did she start her music podcast, and how did it transpire and come to fruition? 25:40 Crystal lets us know about what an inspirational influencer is. 26:50 Listen to “Game on” by Crystal Mcgrath 30:17 Crystal talks about her fitness company. 31:42 Crystal gives us ideas, special hacks and tricks to help people out to eat healthy and good food 35:12 How does Crystal do her coaching? 36:06 What areas of music coaching does Crystal do? 37:07 How did Crystal find her voice, and who are her music influences? 41:17 What does Crystal think is the biggest challenge today for artists and musicians? 43:45 Crystal’s message to her fans, and the dHarmic evolution listeners, especially for the younger people who are upcoming artists 46:21 Where is the best place to connect with Crystal? 47:29 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor   Spotify Playlist:   Have you checked out the Spotify playlist?

Quotes: 15:28 “My music journey now means so much more to me because I really do feel so inspired to do it…” 20:20 “I guess my musical expression was like picking on my guitar in my dorm room at nights and helping lead some worship at church. So, it was still there. I'm singing all the time in the shower, and all around, and having fun with that, because you never stop being a musician.”   31:33 “The song was made, it was really inspired by, just this whole new season of emotions and feelings and situations that I was going through and found myself in. It was just a very simple, simple, concept, a simple expression of where I felt I was like, “Yep, I'm flipped upside down.””   44:16 “Don't be afraid of passionately pursuing what's on your heart. That's a huge thing. There's definitely a lot of fear and anxiety, because of the risk that whatever that means to follow what purpose you feel called to pursue, what passion you have to develop, but you're never wrong pursuing the passions that God's put on your heart.”   46:35 “The enjoyment of pursuing any dream is the process of getting there. So, I think the more you really, really, love growth, love practicing, the more you're going to enjoy the journey.”   Timestamps:   02:50 Introducing Gabe Baker 05:09 How was Gabe’s transition to Nashville? 06:33 Gabe shares the loss of his mom 08:43 Listen to “Mother” by Gabe Baker 12:25 How did Gabe start playing the cello? 14:03 Is your family all still doing music 19:29 Did Gabe have to make a choice between music and football? 22:13 When did Gabe start songwriting? 26:04 Who are Gabe's musical influences and the artists that he listened to? 27:07 Listen to “Upside Down” by Gabe Baker 30:31 The story behind the title and the song “Upside Down” 36:02 How did Gabe feel when he started going to church? 38:07 Where does Gabe see himself going in the next five years?  40:52 For Gabe, what is his best representation live? 43:41 Some pearls of wisdom from Gabe Baker to the younger singer, songwriter, artists, musicians who are listening to the show 47:39 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor   Spotify Playlist:   We’re about to start our third Spotify playlist, but while waiting, you can check our Orion and Aquila playlists that consist of eclectic music from the talented artists who have been on the dHarmic Evolution.  These are today's dHarmic Rising Stars!

We’re going all the way out to California today as we hang out with a woman with the rarest of gifts –her own voice. This Northern California Blues Americana siren is equipped with powerful pipes and an outstanding ability on numerous instruments from piano, to slide guitar, to harmonica. Whether she is performing solo or accompanied by her full band, she unfailingly captures the audience's hearts from the first note. Get to hear this amazing and talented singer-songwriter from California, Katie Knipp! Katie has opened for Robert Cray, Jimmie Vaughan, Joan Osborne, The Doobie Brothers, Tim Reynolds, Jon Cleary, Ruthie Foster, Joe Louis Walker, The James Hunter Six, William Duvall of Alice in Chains, among many others.  She played the 2019 Mammoth Blues Festival as the only solo female act that included headliners Buddy Guy, Trombone Shorty, Charlie Musselwhite, and more. She has won two SAMMIES-2020 and 2019 (Sacramento Music Awards) for Best Blues Artist and was nominated Artist of The Year by The Sacramento News and Review.  She has been honored Female Artist of the Year 2020 by the Country Folk Americana Blues Music Realm.  She has gained worldwide radio support, putting both "The Well " and “Take it With You" on the Roots Music Report in Top Contemporary Blues Albums spun for 2018-2021. We will get to know her stories, and hear some of her great music from her album “The Well” like, “Chamomile and Cocaine” and “The Gospel of Good Intentions” on this episode of the dHarmic Evolution with Katie Knipp! More about Katie Knipp Listen and support Katie and her music. We listened to some of her tracks and she shared a lot of great stories, but there’s definitely more to hear from her, so don’t forget to check out all the links provided below! Quotes: 13:13 I always, always write the song first, to the point where I can perform it as a solo act. If those things can't happen, the song isn't ready. I’m not just all about the studio stuff. The saxophone and all the great musicians that I add to it are just icing on the cake, but I feel like it's so important to make sure that the song stands on its own. 17:56 I felt very depressed. I was like, pray, and the words just came. He said, in my mind, it just came to me. He said, “Do you see how much you love it now? Do you see that music is love? Just like my love for you is never-ending. You can trust that your music is love and is never-ending and will never leave you or go away.” 36:23 There have always been some stories, I've had some experiences that forced me into, “Why to write a song in the first place?” And I feel blessed by those experiences, even if they were hard at the time. 37:58 I think about that a lot of the time. Because, I'm like, “I don't care what you think. I'm old. I'm here. I'm doing this. If you don't like it, move aside, because these people do. It's totally fine.” 39:03 When you think about a voice, it's like a thumbprint. First of all, it's unique to everybody. If you don't like somebody's voice, that's perfectly fine. To me, it's like wine or food. You have a specific palate for what you like to hear from somebody's mouth. I completely get that I'm not for everybody. So that's a huge thing that transformed my “balls out”, way of going about singing. It's like, “Oh, I don't care anymore.” Timestamps:   00:20     Introducing Katie Knipp 03:12     What was Katie’s defining moment when she finally found her voice and style. 05:57     Katie shares what came in first in terms of playing instruments. 08:50     Listen to “Chamomile and Cocaine” by Katie Knipp 12:34     Katie takes us into the studio to the experience of “Chamomile and Cocaine” 15:07     How long has Katie worked with the musicians in her band? 16:56     As a mother of two little ones and with her career choice, how is Katie working things out? 20:55     What are the writing habits and process’s of Katie Knipp 23:43     Listen to “The Gospel of Good Intentions” by Katie Knipp 29:28     Is there a certain group of people that “The Gospel of Good Intentions” is intended for? 31:15     Katie takes us to her experience while recording the track “The Gospel of Good Intentions” 34:46     When did Katie come into total honesty with her music? 40:07     Katie shares funny and unusual experiences during a gig. 43:19     What is a chill time like for Katie outside of music? 45:54     How are Katie’s boys experiencing music now. 47:32     Get to hear Katie’s advice for young and upcoming musicians, artists, singer-songwriters. 49:53     Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor Spotify Playlist:  Check out the Spotify playlist that features the dHarmic Evolution alumni artists.

Quotes: 08:25 “I thought it was going to be “BIG” early on. I mean, before Apple even supported it, I quit my day job and went podcasting full time. So that was April 2005, I left a six-figure income to do podcasting. Early on, I  thought this had potential to be really big.” 09:11 “Where podcasting comes into play, and the strength is it's a distraction medium. It's something you can listen to while you're doing something else – while you're walking the dog, working out, doing yard work, driving to work, to and from, at work. It's something that you can have going as a distraction, as getting your mind off of the task at hand that’s chewing up all your time. This just helps pass the day, and audio has always had that capability.” 17:44 “…when I got to that point where I wasn't worried about the recording anymore, I found it easier to concentrate more on the content of what was going on in the interview, and that helped me really find my voice.” 34:29 “I mean that's what we try to do. We try to help you get out everywhere because you never know where your show is going to take off.” 52:05 “I think everyone should podcast. Everyone has a voice. I think the biggest impediment to getting people into podcasting is always that they don't like the way their voice sounds. I just say, “Well, remember this, Gilbert Gottfried has a podcast, and if he can have a podcast, anybody can have a podcast.” Timestamps: 00:50     Introducing Rob Walch 02:44     The Genesis of Podcasting, and how Rob started in this space 06:52     Who are the influences at the beginning of podcasting? 08:10     When did Rob realize that podcasting will be big? 10:09     Did Rob have a monetization plan when he began in podcasting? 12:03     There is a lot of room for podcasters and it is a very medium niche compared to other platforms 14:37     What would Rob say to a new person who wants to get on board and start their podcast? 16:32     How long did it take for Rob to find his voice? 18:21     In a lot of interviews that he has done, is there any favorite or a really extraordinary one? 21:14     Rob talks about his take on Netflix entering into podcasting. 23:18     Monetization in podcasting – how it works, why people should know it, and what to take action on.  26:44     As a consultant, what is his take on companies stacking out on business without any profits? 33:36     The other platforms that are available in podcasting. 37:15     Who started Libsyn and how did he get affiliated with it? 39:45     How many podcasts is he currently and actively doing? 41:28     The high points of data privacy, and what it looks like without it. 47:15     What is Rob’s feeling on the future of podcasting. 50:35     How was Rob’s move to Tennessee? 53:08     Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor   Spotify Playlist: Did you miss the alumni artists on the dHarmic Evolution?

Music is their weapon, will you join the fight? We’ve got three gentlemen to visit today in New Orleans. That’s three out of the five members – the guitarist, the keyboardist, and the bassist of the band. We’re going to talk about guitars, songs, gigs, New Orleans, touring, and anything else that we can think of with Fighting for Frequency! Fighting for Frequency’s origin is a tale of amazing timing, one about the universe conspiring to bring musicians together in a serendipitous way. Chris and Dave had been long-time friends and had played music together in the past. Chris had given up on music years before, but when he moved into Dave’s neighborhood around 2016, Chris and Dave realized they had the itch to write music again. At nearly the same time, Adam who is Dave’s childhood friend moved into the neighborhood literally in the house behind Dave’s. Knowing Adam was an excellent musician and songwriter that had played in several melodic metal bands, Dave invited Adam over for a listening party that engendered mutual respect for each other’s songwriting skills, leading to ideas and aspirations being shared. A gate was built in the fence to transport gear from Adam’s to Dave’s. Adam also brought in a close friend as a drummer, and Fighting for Frequency was formed, with Adam utilizing his production skills to mold F4F into a more anthem-style arena rock sound partnered with high-energy shows. Within a couple of performances, the band grabbed the attention of a dedicated group of local rock fans, F4F’s freaks! Soon after, Randon moved to New Orleans from Shreveport. The first live music show in New Orleans that he attended happened to be a Fighting for Frequency show. He showed up looking to network with other musicians. Getting friends with F4F and with his background in metal, Randon proved he was a phenomenal guitarist and brought a killer new approach to the band’s sound. He was asked to fill in on guitar for a show while Dave was out of town. While Dave was away, he sends F4F videos of him playing their songs on piano for social media content, prompting the idea of Dave playing keys since he has played piano most of his life. With Dave expressing interest in playing keys and Randon having great chemistry with the band, it was the catalyst for the further growth of F4F. Due to the demands of F4F’s touring schedule, the previous drummer moved on, but during the recording of the second F4F album, the guys brought in-studio drummer Brody. An absolute monster drummer, they asked him to join the fight, and he has infused hard-hitting new life into the rhythm section of F4F. Forged in the fires of rock and brought together by a series of fortuitous events, the formidable five members of Fighting for Frequency are determined to share their passion for rock with their fans, bringing rock back to its former glory. Music is their weapon. Join the fight! More about Fighting for Frequency Adam - Vocals/Guitar; Dave – Keys; Randon – Guitar; Brody – Drums; Chris – Bass We hung out with Dave, Chris, and Randon today, but if you want to know more about the other members and their music, you can check out the links through their socials provided below so you can connect and listen to them. Quotes: 03:48 "... we are sort of fighting through the media clutter. There's a lot of artists out there, and there's also just a lot of peanut butter, it's hard to get heard in the 21st century. So, we're fighting for that space, that frequency within music and just within the industry in itself. We felt that it was appropriate, both on a symbolic level and also on the literal level of as musicians, we are fighting for that space." -Chris 29:19 "We try to bring that vibe, but we're having a good time on stage. If we're having a good time, I think the fans will too. It's sort of infectious to see people playing music and doing something they're passionate about." -Chris 30:24 "I think people generally associate rock with anger, but that's not really us." – Randon 34:22 "I think specifically during the pandemic, we spent a lot of time focused on social media and trying to expand our social media presence as well, just because it was the easiest way to get the word out and get the frequency out during that time." -Dave 53:09 "Don't get frustrated, keep on plugging along and sometimes trust the process. You might be impressed where the journey takes you." -Chris 55:04 "You just got to get out there and you got to pursue it. You know, you can't sit in your room and just play riffs and hope that being talented will be enough to get you somewhere, you got to put yourself out there, you got to get uncomfortable, and you got to meet people." -Randon Timestamps: 01:30 Introducing Fight for Frequency 02:19 What is the story behind the band’s name: Fighting for Frequency 05:06 How does the writing process start for Fighting for Frequency 09:42 How was the transition phase of Dave when he changed from guitar to keys 12:39 Listen to “A Million Miles Away” by Fighting for Frequency 17:54 How did “A Million Miles Away” come together? 19:28 Fighting for Frequency shares how they work their way during the pandemic? 24:51Talking about New Orleans – where they are, and the support they are getting 27:34 Fighting for Frequency shares the wide spectrum of their fanbase 30:55 Where are their gigs happening? 33:16 How do F4F communicate with their fans, and how do they keep them up to date? 35:38 Listen to “Fast Forward” by Fighting for Frequency 42:43 The gears and setup that Fighting for Frequency is using. 46:08 What are Fighting for Frequency’s aspiring for this 2021. 51:30 Any food for thoughts, advice, or anything that they would like to say to younger singer-songwriters and bands who are just starting to develop their craft? 56:18 Listen to “Ride On” by James Kevin O’Connor   Spotify Playlist: Want something to listen to?

We’re staying in Nashville today to listen to the wonderful music of a young lady who is a singer and a songwriter. She is originally from Rock Hill, SC but she moved to Nashville and felt that she is where she is meant to be. She had some great opportunities since then. She has been writing with Grammy-nominated songwriters. She gained national exposure on Team Blake as a contestant on NBC's 'The Voice'. She also sang the national anthem for the NFL’s Panthers. The latest on the list is that she had her new single and music video for ‘Paris’ featured on CMT. Let’s get to know more about Teresa Guidry! Teresa just recently launched her brand-new song called ‘Paris’. She shares with us the people behind this and gives us a peek in the making of this song. We also have her song Red Wine, which leaves them feeling that they should listen to an old turntable. Aside from listening to hear great music, we’ll get to know her influences, what her day looks like and what are her goals in the future. Teresa had a lot to go through before making it to where she is today and will get to know some of her side hustles and stories in this episode. Don’t miss out on this amazing young lady by the name of Teresa Guidry! More about Teresa Guidry Stick around to see what Teresa Guidry is up to. She definitely has a lot of things coming her way, so check on the links below to where you can follow and support her. Quotes: 06:49 “As soon as I got here, I just started meeting people who made it feel like it was perfectly made for me and that I was doing the right thing… One event led to another but I didn't question it when I moved here all. It was, it just felt really right.” 11:42 “It's just one of those things where you get in a room with someone talented, and they can kind of look at it from an outsider's perspective. That's the really cool thing about finding someone like that to work with is because you're just joining your minds and finding what works for both of you, and really cool things can come out of it that way.” 23:33 “…everything on the outside was so scary that I had to find some sort of peace on the inside and honestly, it was a good year for me I feel it's like wrong to say but you know it kind of just gave my soul a break that it really needed.” 49:52 “It's like, you just have to do it. Right now, I'm kind of in a high place my life but this hasn't always been it. So, I would say that it's definitely going to be challenging. It's going to be a journey. But if this is what you truly feel like you were meant to do, then you just have to do it. Like, don't wait for the circumstances to be right because they never will be. You just kind of have to go with the flow. If you believe in yourself, just keep going. Because, I mean, if you won't do it yourself, no one else is going to do it for you either. So, I feel bad.” Timestamps:  01:53     Introducing Teresa Guidry 05:06     How was her transition to Nashville to pursue music 08:16     Teresa takes us to the studio in making her new song release, “Paris” 13:50     How was Teresa’s experience with co-writing. 16:15     Listen to “Paris” by Teresa Guidry 19:54     How was “Paris” written? 22:24     How did Teresa got through during the pandemic? 24:42     What is she looking forward to, did she have any gigs booked now? 26:25     How does one get on the CMT like Teresa? 31:08     Listen to “Red Wine” by Teresa Guidry 34:57     Where did Teresa get her vocal influence? 36:58     How was Teresa’s typical day go? 40:51     What are Teresa’s plans and visions for the next couple of years? 43:49     Her stay in Nashville has not been easy and she shared about the side hustles that she did. 48:28     Any words of wisdom that she would like to share with the audience and the community? 52:04     Listen to “Tango On” by James Kevin O’Connor Spotify Playlist:  Have you checked our Spotify playlist yet?

So, they are not put into situations where they have to make a tough decision when they're tired, and it's late in the day, and they've just had the hassles of normal life adding upon them.” 27:58 “I firmly believe that everyone has their own personal currency that they have to offer the world, and should use that to reach their goals and to share that to enrich other people's lives.” 29:09 “So, you're looking at all of the things I have listed on my resume, it all says the same thing  James, which is to inspire people, right? I'm not five people rolled into one. I'm just one person inspiring people in different ways.” 35:15 “I've always liked or thought about, if I just had the vision, just to see how everything would come together, I can help so many other people, including myself and my students to be exactly where they need to be because I could see the entire field in amazing detail as they do.” 44:07 You're not perfect, and neither are the things you want to do. But that doesn't mean you can't work within that, to just bring forth what it is you want to give to the world. So, I think everyone has something that really only they have, and that really only they can do better than anybody. Timestamps:   01:30 Introducing Jacquelyn H.

We’re going to the great state of Pennsylvania today! We’re going to visit a band called Circle of Sanity. They have a combined array of styles. They were brought together by faith friends and a little luck. Ever since then, they've been writing new material, performing songs, and all written by individual members before they got together. Now, they've got this great gig and they're playing shows locally and regionally – they've done everything from 50 seats to a thousand seats. Leaving with an overwhelmingly positive response from the audience. Today, we’re going to chat with Josh Sapna, the band’s guitarist and vocalist. Let’s get to know him more, what he enjoys aside from music, his approach to songwriting, and of course listen to some of their great music from the EP: Celestial Mechanics. Listen to Break the Silence, Mortal Coil, and Ride on. Don’t forget to check on other music that they have as well on your favorite platform. We’ve got some pretty heavy music coming up with Circle of Sanity! More about Josh Sapna Circle of Sanity: Josh Sapna – guitars and vocals; Carson Slovak – bass Grant McFarland – drums. Make sure to check out and support Josh Sapna and his band, Circle of Sanity. All the band’s social media links are provided below. Quotes: 03:40 We always thought we got together to jam that was where we got our sanity back and escaped from everything, and that became our circle. There you have it. It was born “the circle of sanity.” 11:48 Books left open to interpretation, which I do on purpose. Yeah, so my songs, I don't want to be too definite in the meanings, because I want more people to be able to apply their own life and experience to it. 51:36 The number one thing and I have always said is this. Never. There's never been a time that I sat down to write a song and said, Will other people like this? Not once. The only question in my mind is at the end of it? Do I like it? when I buy this would I be impressed with it? and I don't know if that sounds selfish. But that's really the only way you can stay true to yourself is to not worry at all about what anyone else is going to think of it.

We are honored to have a special guest on today’s episode of the dHarmic Evolution. She is a US Navy Commander, an orthodontist, a motivational speaker, a world traveler, and reigning International Ms. 2020. We’re going to Japan today to hang out with Navy Commander and Doctor Corinne Devin. As a multi-passionate woman, she has learned to not only balance her passions but use them to make her a better officer. She is a daughter of the American Revolution deployed with the United States Navy in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom to Al Asad. She also attended the Elite Tri-service Orthodontic Residency Program at Wilford Hall Medical Center. And, she’s a keynote speaker at the STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) conference to over 1000 Middle School girls for the Department of Defense in Japan and Italy. Get to know more about her amazing stories in the US Navy and her travels on this episode. She also lets us know of her pageantry journey, her current life, and her plans for the future. Get ready to be inspired and amazed by this high achiever young lady who is very unique and lovely – Doctor and Commander Corinne Devin. More about Corinne Devin You can follow and support Corinne on her social media pages. Please see all the links listed below. Quotes: 10:47 “I was very blessed to have some wonderful, wonderful bosses and leaders who've been very supportive and have also told me what I need to do and that's to continue what I do. And I tell everyone, it requires a lot of discipline, it requires you doing (not) what you maybe want to do, like hit the snooze button, but actually what you have to do to get there.” 26:15 “You really have to know who you are, and be confident and not feel you have to apologize if your answer doesn't agree with the person you're speaking with. As long as you know, you feel acknowledged, and you also appreciate them and acknowledge and listen to them.” 45:06 “I love being part of a team. I love being part of a group. That's one thing the military has taught me – is being able to share that responsibility. So, we all can have a chance to unplug, but also to really be in that environment of growing and developing others, as well as pushing myself.” 47:37 Everywhere I go and everywhere I look, everyone's trying to do things to be more comfortable. They're looking for the more convenient. But I'm going to tell you that if you look at all these successful people that you aspire to be like, they come from a place of being uncomfortable. And when you were trying to avoid the pain or the struggle or the hard things, you are actively choosing to be average.

We're all on a journey of learning to give and receive love… To give, and receive, and embody love.”   28:14 “As I became more aware and intentional about creating an inspired life, a heart-centered life, I started making more empowering choices, as to mindset messages that I was going to surround myself with the types of people, the types of organizations that I want to be a part of. And so, little by little I started gravitating toward other heart-centered, God-inspired people. And little by little, as the light started coming in, my life started to be a reflection of my deepest truth. And I call that walking our Soul path.”   36:23 “Sometimes, when we are dealing with something that's upsetting us, that we feel angry about, or we're in a negative state about, we try to fight the negativity and we try to get rid of it, which causes a lot of resistance. And I have found – and this is what the practice of yoga and spiritual practices taught me – that by inviting the light in, inviting the love in, inviting spirit in, the forgiveness, the healing starts to happen automatically.”   37:17 “I can have a lot of intentions throughout the day, but my one guiding intention is to be an instrument of universal love.”   41:43 “…Maybe they're not singer-songwriters, or an author or a writer, maybe they're calling us something different. I would like to share with you that that doesn't mean you're not a creator. Your life is your greatest art form. I believe our life is a creation, we create through our thoughts, words, our actions, and our choices.”   Timestamps: 00:54 Introducing Chara Rodriguera 04:38 Check out Chara’s new book, “Love” 06:51 How Chara started out in Yoga. 11:11 Why “Breathe” is important. 13:07 Chara shares the three magical benefits of intentional deep breathing. 17:03 Chara has a complimentary gift for EVERYONE. 18:43 What happened along the way after Chara started teaching Yoga? 21:46 What led Chara to the love that saved her? 29:07 Did Chara find the forgiveness in her path, and did it help her get through the challenging part of her life? 36:14 Adding more to forgiveness. 41:33 Chara Rodriguera: For listeners who are not singers/songwriters/authors/writers – you are a creator as well. 43:19 How are Chara and her two little boys doing, in the midst of the pandemic. 45:15 Is Chara back to doing live Yoga classes now? 49:12 Meditating with Chara Rodriguera 57:40 Chara’s parting words with the listener   Spotify Playlist: Make sure you are not missing out on the amazing dHarmic evolution alumni artists here in our Spotify playlist!

We have a phenomenal jazz singer on today’s episode of the dHarmic evolution. She became known not only for her pure voice in the exceptional five-octave range but for her ability to connect with her audiences emotionally and draw them into the music. She has played in Las Vegas for 14 years, sharing the stage alongside talents like Frank Sinatra Jr. and Billy Preston. She also was a featured entertainer for USO, lifting the spirits of our men and women in uniform for three years. From the great state of Indiana, let’s welcome Barbara Santora! Today, Barbara shares with us her great experiences in Las Vegas and the time she did USO tours. Get to know her more and of course, her music! We’re featuring some of her amazing songs such as “Micky’s,” “Midnight Escape,” and “That’s Just the Way It Goes”. We’ll get to listen to them, know their stories and go behind the scenes. More about Barbara Santora John Michael O’Leary –pianist, singer, and composer. Barbara’s duo called Side by Side. Check out their Facebook page and website to keep up to date with their awesome songs and new releases. All links are provided below. Quotes: 20:43 “I really hope James that I never reach a point in my life in my career, that I don't think I can learn something from someone. Because, I believe that if you reach that point where you feel that you cannot learn anymore, then you're really done.”   27:58 “I really think that that's the whole inspiration behind the whole thing is that, push the other stuff aside, stay true to yourself, and move forward. And somewhere, someone along the way, is finally going to realize who you are and what you do.”   33:25 “I go back to the fact that I don't believe that it was my talent that stopped me; from our lack of talent that stopped me from making it a long time ago. If what we call making it is what we call like, being known all over the world. But I really believe it was because I believed that you had to keep the principles. If I cannot look in the mirror and like who I am, then I'm not gonna be happy.”   55:50 “It doesn't really make any difference if you've got 100 people or you've got 10,000 people. You are there to do what God gave you the gift to do and do it. Go for it. Go for it. I don't care how big your crowd is how little your crowd is. Give them all you've got because that's what God gave you.”   57:23 “For all of those out there that have given up. Put your career in God's hands, and in His timing, and let Him decide when it's right for you to do it. Because you're going to go through obstacles all along your way. But if you love it, and it's what you're driven to do, put it in His hands and watch his miracles happen.”   Timestamps: 03:18     Introducing Barbara Santora 04:38     Barbara’s music – has it always been jazz for her? 07:33     Barbara’s time in USO 11:14     Listen to “Micky’s” by Barbara Santora 13:54     How was Micky’s put together? 16:29     Where did they record Micky’s? 17:40     For Barbara, what is the best process when putting a song together? 22:37     Listen to “Midnight Escape” by Barbara Santora 26:41     The story behind the song “Midnight Escape” 28:52     Barbara shares her journey in Vegas, and some stories with the people, she shared the stage with. 35:31     For Barbara, what is her best chapter in life? 39:55     Listen to “That’s Just the Way It Goes” by Barbara Santora 43:43     Barbara takes us to the studio when recording “That’s Just the Way It Goes” 47:38     How are they doing in Indiana and how they handled the pandemic? 51:31     Barbara’s favorite places to play. 56:18     Barbara Santora’s message to the listeners   Spotify Playlist: Make sure to check out the dHarmic Rising stars playlists on Spotify!

Should we even be producing art? And if the answer is Yes, then it's got to be something that speaks now to the to the new music industry to the new time that we're in for however long that is.”   26:32 “I think there is a purpose, I don't exactly know. I think it has to do with spiritual healing through music, and not only that delighting through music and entertaining through music, and just being marvelous through music. And music will never lose that power.”   37:02 “I think that's what really lit my fire again.

The real magic is actually being together. 26:58 "Being outside in nature, and doing the photography and seeing all this beauty that I really didn't know existed. I mean, I knew it was there, just not to the extent that I've now seen, has been very healing for me. And it helped take away a lot of my physical pain, emotional pain, mental stress, it's a good de-stress. " 29:29 "The fresh air alone. I mean, anyone can do this if they're feeling low, or just, you know, clutters in their head. Just go outside, just for five minutes. It's so feeling just the fresh air or there's a certain vibe."  45:13 "I think my main thing lately is seeing that people are quite depressed, isolated, lonely, and sad. And when I speak with personal friends about this, I urge them to try something new to get out of there, that feeling of isolation." 46:55 "Honestly, everyone has something in them I think that they can tap into, and then they can develop into this gift they never knew and that they can share it with others.

Today we've got a really unbelievable guy, he is like a throwback to yesteryear. This young man is a tribute to the best rock music you've ever heard in your life. His music is like a rework of the whole sound of the classic rock icons of years gone by and made it even better. Check out this gentleman! He is a musician, producer, singer-songwriter, and mixing engineer. Moreover, he is an actor for a couple of decades now. All the way up from North Carolina, Jason Damico! A little background on Jason Damico He grew up with great parents who have been supporting him in both music and acting. He started out as an actor when he modeled as a calendar baby at 18 months old. At 2 years old, he was holding a plastic guitar, making the couch as the amplifiers and it is for him as a vision quest and that’s how everything started. He was raised music-wise with a little bit of the faith-based Christian raw community and the secular music – from the classic rock icons. At 15, he won the battle of the bands with some friends. Recording his music fueled his creativity in producing and as a mixing engineer to create sounds. During his freshman to sophomore years, he went to jazz camps at colleges. He was in college-level theory courses as a drummer, his main instrument. He also shared with us his injury back when he was 14 which instead of being a setback became a supernatural experience on understanding the context of soundscape both from a structural standpoint and also melodic theory. Jason as an actor, musician, and producer at this time Jason’s honest answer when asked how he managed to balance his acting and music career is “Barely”. He really got a lot on his plate. But from his standpoint, he considers acting and music as not as much different. Due to the current situation, Jason just did house concerts, but he is mainly focusing on all the projects he is going to roll out in 2021. He also did mix a couple of records for other artists. As of the moment, he is still in the process of elimination and is waiting to unfold what is in store in the future.

It seemed like a problem if I didn't pursue it. 27:07 If I can just take a second to try and encourage anybody out there who has been through any type of physical trauma. You know, there's light at the end of the tunnel and sometimes it could be your greatest asset later on. It just takes time. 32:48 You're just trying to be authentic and be present at the moment and have the best performance possible. 56:42 I would say, just stay true to yourself, and really take the time to meditate, spend time in prayer, whatever that means for you. And really settle down within yourself and just be okay with the silence.

It makes such a huge difference.

We have an awesome young artist in the show today! She is just 17 years old but she already created a unique vintage Americana sound that crosses the boundaries of many different styles. With the help of influences based in the 70s, rock rhythm and blues, and modern poeticism. Singer, songwriter, and actress from a small town in West Virginia, Lillie King! Check out her brand-new debut self-titled EP, and fall in love with the sound that will remind you of the good old great songwriting that happened in the late 60s and early 70s. Lillie King shared that it was what she loved listening to while she was growing up. Lillie King’s Music career and her Theater Life  Lillie King started out as a theater actress at around six years old. Her parents are not into music, but her grandparents are the ones who pushed her to take the classes. She eventually stopped but at the age of 12, she missed performing on stage and went back to the theater where she was filled with four years of great experiences since then. She is a trained soprano operatic singer; she went to the New York Film Academy for this when she was around 14 or 15 years old. She just started writing songs at 16 years old. She won Talent West Virginia where she got herself an EP deal and had to write her own song. That’s where “Cheated Love” was born. One thing to watch out for, as well, is her song “Home by Ten” which is what she described as an autobiography of her life. Also, check out her metaphorical song titled “Roses”, which relates to her life in the theater. “Red” is another track that you can relate to, whether it’s a family relationship, a friend relationship, or, a personal relationship. Currently, Lillie King made the executive decision to stop singing in the theater realm for a while. She struggled to switch the two voices that she is using – her soprano voice and her studio voice. She wanted to focus on her music career right now. She hopes that one day she can go back to the theater without having to worry about switching her voices.  More about Lillie King Good news! Lillie King loves to connect with people, the best place to do it will be on her Instagram. If you want to know more about her, check out her website. All the links will be provided below. Quotes: 4:47 I'm not trying to write what's in right now. I'm trying to write what I love to listen to. 22:02 When you love what you're working on, you want to work on it. You don't want to stop, and you have fun while you're doing it. That's just the best part of the process. 25:17 I love nature. I love being outside. So, it's just finding those little moments that I can take to rest. Then so I can get really excited to come back and work on the stuff that's important. 52:25 I know a lot of people in my life who are stressing out about their futures and what may or may not happen, and I just want to let everyone know that it's better not to stress.  It's better to let God's hand take over because something good will come from it. You just have to wait and work hard.  Timestamps 2:39 Welcoming Lillie King to dHarmic Evolution 3:56 Lillie King’s self-titled EP and a little look at her music influences 6:05 Listen to “Cheated Love” by Lillie King 9:23 What is the backstory of the song “Cheated Love”? 11:03 Lillie King’s background in Theater and how it helped her be the star that she is today. 14:36 What is the song “Home by Ten” about? 15:40 Listen to “Home by Ten” by Lil
