Epic Success With Dr Shannon Irvine

“…acknowledging what we have been through is an important first step. The ability to share and be witnessed allows us to begin our healing journey.”   These words were spoken by writer and transformation coach, Laura Jack, author of The Compassion Code. Many of us have experienced grief in our lives. Whether it be from death of a loved one, a divorce, a natural disaster, of any other life-altering event, learning how to co-exist with the feelings we have, or helping someone else, makes the process of mending truly life-enriching and meaningful.   Through Laura’s past tragedy of losing her mother, her life was forever changed when she opened her heart and mind to the possibilities of helping others heal from painful experiences. In speaking to her on this podcast episode, I was touched to learn that in her work, she walks people through the steps of:   Surviving and thriving after tragedy. How to support loved ones in their times of loss. Healing through self-care and self-love. Re-discovering your light afte

On this week’s podcast episode, she is dishing out even more video marketing tips, so grab your earbuds and get ready to answer the following questions: What does it mean to be “authentic” on video?

Live video is the hot thing right now in online marketing, and there is a reason for that! It not only connects us with our audience in a much more authentic way, but Facebook and other online media focus more of their attention on video and live video. This focus benefits those of us brave enough to push record. Last week, we discussed why video is so important for our brand, and I want to continue that conversation in this 2-part series with Tiffany Lee ByMaster. Tiffany built her career behind the scenes as a professional makeup artist, wardrobe stylist, mentor and educator working 1:1 with influencers and those in the public eye. Faced with the desire to help more people by expanding her career to the online space, she realized that teaching about styles, equipment, and lighting wasn’t enough. Her tribe needed more – confidence, accountability, encouragement. Tiffany has spent over 18 years working in fashion, runway, editorial, film, TV, print, commercial & video. She is also the creator of the onlin

Video online is becoming a powerful tool in the way we communicate online. For business owners, it’s a powerful way to connect with our audience and grow our influence online. But let’s be honest, video can be scary! Vulnerability, seeing ourselves on camera, hearing the sound of our own voice – it’s hard! If that describes you or if you are just getting started with video, then I have a treat for you today. On this episode of the Epic Success podcast, I interview Sean Cannell – a YouTube master who helps people build their influence, income and impact online with video. Sean has grown his combined YouTube channel to over 574,213 subscribers between his 3 channels and over well over 100,000 video views! That is a lot of influence. As you will learn, it lives on because YouTube is a search engine second only to Google, which is unlike any other social media platform. Listen in to hear why it is so important to be on video and how you can overcome those fears to grow your influence online. In today’s episode, y
