Sat, 12 Nov 2022 00:19:05 GMT

During this episode of Content Creators College, the lesson will be about taking stock of where you're at and admitting that you might be giving your energy and focus to the wrong thing. I spent weeks putting together a digital course I still 100% plan to teach and deliver, but during a two-day online conference, a lightbulb moment went off for me when the group chat was flooded with people who I believe I can better serve today, right now and in this moment.

Thu, 06 Oct 2022 18:47:28 GMT

In today's lesson, you'll learn all about how important the right mindset, the right message, and having a passion for something is to help create something that can change lives. I talk to professional peak and performance coach and hypnotist Wayne Lee. For over 25 years, Wayne has been one of North America’s premier corporate presenters and entertainers. He has helped people from over 6000 organizations and various walks of life develop the subconscious mindset that allows them to perform at a high level no matter what challenges they face.

We talk about being empowered, how he built his shows over time, and how he moved into creating a service and entertainment brand that would help businesses and their employees succeed. He grew a digital online coaching program when his live events were forced to stop due to the pandemic, but he's back on stage where he feels most alive. To him, it's all about "stage time baby".

Connecting The Content Niche Dots Can Lead To Crazy Success

Wed, 05 Oct 2022 03:16:14 GMT

In this episode, I chat with Allan Mitchell (aka Lowetide) of The Athletic, TSN 1260, and the author of a new book called On the Clock: Edmonton Oilers: Behind the Scenes with the Edmonton Oilers at the NHL Draft. We discuss his journey in the content creation space and chat about the process behind his newly-released book.

He started with an idea for a blog about hockey, married his passion for baseball into it, grew the blog to amazing levels of success, then turned all of that into a popular radio show, a lucrative contract with The Athletic, and a new book.

His story just goes to show that if you have a passion for a niche topic, write about what you love, listen to your audience and time what you're creating with intent, the sky is the limit for what you can achieve.

Say Yes To Everything!: One Of the Best Strategies To Opening Content Creation Opportunity Doors

Sun, 02 Oct 2022 16:22:44 GMT

In this episode of Content Creators College, our lesson plan and goal is to teach you how and why you should say "Yes" but feel confident in shying away from the things that don't best serve your mission. In other words, why is it so important to say "Yes" to every opportunity but avoid feeling overwhelmed and stressed while doing so?

I'll talk about the 4 Best Reasons to say "Yes", but we'll also be talking with a guest that is the perfect example of how this strategy can pay off in a massive way. I speak with TSN sports personality and NHL Network correspondent Tom Gazzola. He also co-hosts his own podcast about the Edmonton Oilers and you'll hear his story, listen to some great advice and share a secret that could change your life!

If you've ever seen "Yes Man" with Jim Carey or "Yes Day" with Jennifer Garner, you know the good (and possible hiccups) that come with always saying "yes." Let's teach you the best way to do it that will work for you.

Content Creators College - Your Story Matters, Don't Be Afraid to Tell It

Thu, 22 Sep 2022 22:48:14 GMT

On the first episode of Content Creators College, I'm going to introduce you to me, Jim Parsons. I'm a former teacher (kind of), a professional disc jockey for 26 years, and now a freelance writer and content creator who became successful enough in the content creation space that I could walk away from the live event DJ business, which I did.

After 26 years and more than 1000 events, I officially retired and have pivoted into a new chapter of my life. I want to share that story in Episode 1 because I'm hoping it gives someone, anyone, the inspiration to go for it. Whether you need a change or a change is forced upon you, I'm confident you can figure it out. And, if you want to explore the idea of content creation, my plan is to offer so many tips and techniques, power stories and interviews, plus guidance and coaching that you'll feel like you got an unofficial degree in this space.
