Stay Risky with Astraea Rose

I believe there’s a lot of power in appearance. When you go to a hair stylist to get a trim or a new look, on the outside a lot of people will notice the difference. They might say something like “Who did your hair? It looks amazing!”. Of course those compliments do feel good, but what’s more important than physical appearance is how your new look makes you feel on the inside. Most people think about how others perceive them, but we need to spend more time loving ourselves so we can better express love for our friends, colleagues and family. In this podcast, we talk a lot about overcoming obstacles. Some people start their business and struggle with aspects of life like paying bills, taking care of their kids, or handling family situations that are out of our control. What is in our control though, is how we decide to take care of ourselves. Self love is something that has become more commonly talked about in the past few years, but for a long time in the business world, the mindset was to work yourself to the bone everyday, no excuses, and work will make you happy. We know that’s not the case.  People in the workforce today are spending more time with family, taking care of themselves, and living their lives on their own terms. Our guest today believed in themselves and found their passion in the hair industry to help others feel more confident in themselves.

Stay Risky with Dee Annis (HI-FI/MOKB Presents)

Making a career in music is both amazing and terrifying at the same time. If you try to make it as a musician, I wish you the best of luck and may god have mercy on your soul. Between myself being a performer and running a company in the entertainment industry, I’ve experienced first hand the struggles both financially and mentally that go into chasing that dream. The reality is there are other opportunities to establish a career whether you’re a booking agent, stagehand, or box office attendant. There’s plenty of roles in the industry where you can still be part of the show and have a healthy career balance. The reason why I’m sharing my experience is because our guest today and I both have worked for the same company. MOKB Presents, a live event production company based in Indianapolis, was my first graphic design internship that helped shape everything that I do today with 40FI Creations. Working in the office helped me network and make connections with other designers, booking agents, and production managers that I still have relationships with to this day. Although our guest started working for the company years after I left, I can tell that she has the same drive and spirit that all the great people before her possessed in the day to day operations of the shows. She is a true music fan, and might hold the all time record for most concerts attended in the United States.

Stay Risky with Kyle Buck

The phrase “Laughter is the best medicine” might sound corny and cliche, but it’s true.  Before the film era, there were plenty of examples of comedy throughout history whether it was in plays, speeches, or public performances, but you had to be there in person to see it. Then in the late 1800’s, the first silent film movement introduced comedy to the big screen. Shortly after, an actor arose and made a career out of these types of films by the name of Charlie Chaplin. For those not familiar with his work, Chaplin was an actor in the early 1900’s who used physical movements and facial expressions to get the audience to laugh. At the time, these films had no sound, so the actors on screen had to rely on movements to convey the story’s plot. It didn’t matter if you spoke English, French, or Swahili, anyone watching those films could connect to the silliness on screen and share that moment of joy. These films are particularly important since at the time it was the beginning of World War I and the U.S. was dealing with the great depression. People needed an escape, something to look forward to, and for most people comedy was the only thing to keep their spirits high as they dealt with great adversity. The following 100 years brings us to where comedy is in society today: TV shows, films, stand up comedy, all help us get through our day to day lives and give us a break from the seriousness of life. Our guest is a stand up comedian, musician, and general badass that has put in the reps and dedicated his life to the art of being a true performer.
