    How To Make Money For Real Aug 03, 2023
    Show notes
    • Join Julie Lokun as she does something she has never done before. Not talk.
    • SAY WHAT? Julie wrote the popular article on How To Make Money for REAL (and no, she did not use chat GPT she used her brain) and decided to take it one step further and use AI to generate the audio recording. So this episode is brought to you by AI.

    Right now, are you searching for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow? Are you crossing your fingers in the hope that you will win Mega Millions Lottery. Are you busy staying busy, dreading your status as an employee?


    I suggest the status of being an employee is sucking your soul because you want to do something bigger. I will go one step further and suggest that your “financial reality” is keeping you locked up in a vacuum of no purpose or passion.

    If you are dipping your toe in the entrepreneurial pond, I will take a guess and say that you are not making money as an entrepreneur, solopreneur, author, creative, podcaster, or human because you arenot hungry.

    • 💡You are not hungry enough to make the sacrifices and create the energy around yourself to build the empire you have dreamed of.

    A Conversation With Founder of Comedy Central with Art Bell Jul 27, 2023
    Show notes

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like to build a career in comedy – and an entire TV station dedicated to comedy 24/7? Meet the legend, Art Bell, author of Constant Comedy: How I Started Comedy Central and Lost My Sense of Humor. We get a peek behind the curtain of what it was like in the early days of Comedy Central. You’ll hear stories about comedic icons from Bill Maher to Jon Stewart, Al Franken, Chris Rock, Gilbert Gottfried, Sarah Silverman and Dennis Miller. We talk about the power of comedy to push boundaries, and how hard it is to work in comedy today as the present culture is sometimes too easily offended.


    00:00 Introduction

    04:12 Has Art Bell ever been star struck?

    06:30 Art’s non-traditional path to working in entertainment and comedy

    11:45 The Wharton Follies - creatives in business school at Wharton

    13:20 HBO & their failed plan to create a family friendly TV channel “Festival”

    15:00 Disney, Netflix, HBO and “The Streaming Wars”

    17:27 Working with Bill Maher, Jon Stewart, and other A-listers

    19:15 Why did Bill Maher try to get Art Bell fired from HBO?

    23:15 “Weird asks” in entertainment

    24:45 1992 State of the union address: Comedy central’s coverage and Al Franken’s walk-off & walk-back

    27:15 “The Slap” of Chris Rock by Will Smith - And the perils of live TV

    29:53 The comedian’s job and Gilbert Gottfried’s near career-ending joke as he starts to tell a joke about 9/11 and pivots to The Aristocrats

    31:50 The comedic realm of satire and pushing cultural boundaries of what’s acceptable

    35:40 “Shtick” around minority cultures - something that (sadly?) simply “doesn’t work” anymore

    38:00 Jon Stewart’s The Daily Show and reshaping news in America

    39:48 The most outrageous thing that ever happened to Art Bell – another “State Of The Union” story, featuring Dennis Miller

    42:00 Corinna’s favorite comedy show & meeting the cast! It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia


    About Our Guest, Art Bell:

    Art Bell is the author of the memoir: "Constant Comedy: How I Started Comedy Central and Lost My Sense of Humor". He earned his MBA at Wharton in Finance & Economics, and started his career in entertainment first in economics in Washington – then pivoted to his love of entertainment, first at CBS, then at HBO where he was directly responsible for the creation of The Comedy Channel (Comedy Central). He then continued his television career as president of CourtTV before shifting his focus to writing.

    The Power of Creating A Brand For Your Book, Your Business or Podcast Jul 02, 2023
    Show notes

    Join Julie as she reads an excerpt from the best-selling book Audiocasters: The Ultimate Guide To Podcasting, co-authored with Corinna Bellizzi.

    Get The Book TODAY! Amazon.com: Audiocasters: The Ultimate Guide To Podcasting: 9781736379899: Lokun, Julie, Bellizzi, Corinna: Books

    A SNEAK PEAK:

    Julie Lokun: Welcome to Audiocasters: The Ultimate Guide to Podcasting, where we explore the world of podcasting and provide valuable insights for aspiring podcasters. Today, we're diving into the importance of personal branding and how it relates to your podcast. So, let's get started.

    [Theme music fades]

    Julie Lokun: While podcasting can be as easy or as difficult as you wanna make it, we are of the opinion that if you're going to podcast, do it right. It all begins with asking yourself a few crucial questions. Why are you interested in podcasting? Who are you hoping to reach? What change will you affect?

    Julie Lokun: By answering these questions, you'll be able to define a mission statement that acts as your guiding force as you navigate the world of podcasting and beyond. This journey also involves developing your personal brand, the very thing you want to be known for. It's time to start building a brand you love as a podcaster, a brand that evokes emotion.

    Julie Lokun: Your brand should be consistent with your podcast titles and your online presence. We often associate brands with companies and products, like the golden arches of McDonald's or the simple logo of Apple. However, in today's world, anything can be a brand. Even as an individual, you have a personal brand. So, what is your personal brand?

    Julie Lokun: Whether you're known for your snaps or still using a typewriter, you have a brand that exists both online and offline. Luckily, there are great tools and resources available to help you build your personal branding process. Utilize them to leave the right impression on people who look you up online.

    Julie Lokun: Now, the idea of professional branding versus personal branding may make some people uncomfortable. However, if you don't take control of your personal brand online, you're missing out on opportunities and allowing others to control your narrative. The concepts and processes of branding are applicable to every entrepreneur on the planet, regardless of their specific circumstances and goals.

    Julie Lokun: Personal branding is essential because, without a story behind your brand, your podcast or book is just an inanimate object. A story connects with your audience and has the power to bring you and your vision alive. This is why personal branding is an obsession of mine.

    Julie Lokun: I often encounter skepticism when I ask the question, "What is your personal brand?" I get responses like, "I don't need personal branding," or, "It seems so narcissistic." The truth is, if you don't control your brand, others will. People make judgments based on how you present yourself. Therefore, you create a personal brand just by existing.

    Julie Lokun: Personal branding is an essential cog in the professional branding machine and is the essence of who you are as an entrepreneur. By embracing your brand, you live it intrinsically and extrinsically. Your core values and beliefs are directly reflected in how you present and manage your professional identity. Personal branding and professional branding are one and the same.

    your brand.

    About LT. JOE KENDA

    Lt. Joe Kenda, a 23-year veteran of the Colorado Springs Police Department, spent 21 years chasing killers as a homicide detective and commander of the major crimes unit. Kenda and his team solved 356 of his 387 homicide cases, getting a 92 percent solve rate—one of the highest in the country. After retiring from law enforcement, he starred in “Homicide Hunter: Lt. Joe Kenda,” an American true-crime documentary series that ran for nine seasons on Investigation Discovery (ID), and is now in premieres of season three of “American Detective with Lt. Joe Kenda,” both available for streaming on discovery+. He has written two books, "I Will Find You" and "Killer Triggers.”


    About LT. Joe Kenda's Successful TV Shows And This New Feature-length Special:

    (New York, NY) – During HOMICIDE HUNTER’s nine seasons on ID, Lt. Joe Kenda captivated viewers with stories from the hundreds of murder cases he solved throughout his 23-year-long career. Now, Lt. Kenda returns to ID to put to rest more cases that kept him up at night with three theatrical-length HOMICIDE HUNTER specials, revealing chilling new details of career-defining cases. With his gruff voice and no-nonsense demeanor, Kenda leads viewers through labyrinthine cases that have plagued him for years, with the first two-hour special focused on the investigation of a female soldier whose killer was a shadow in the night for decades. HOMICIDE HUNTER: NEVER GIVE UP premieres on ID on Wednesday, August 17 from 9-11PM ET/PT, debuting on the heels of an all-new season of AMERICAN DETECTIVE WITH LT. JOE KENDA, which airs on Wednesdays at 10PM ET/PT on ID. Both are available to stream the same day on discovery+.


    “Since I joined the network, we at ID have wanted to bring the HOMICIDE HUNTER brand back to our air. Unfortunately, we had told all the stories we could possibly tell from Kenda’s incredible history of cases…until now. Thanks to advances in science, Joe has finally been able to close cases that have remained unsolved for decades,” said Jason Sarlanis, President of Crime and Investigative Content, Linear and Streaming.

    Publishing Unraveled: Traditional vs. Hybrid vs. Vanity Press | Expert Insights with Julie Lokun Jun 14, 2023
    Show notes

    In this episode, Julie Lokun discusses the world of publishing and provides insights into different publishing options available to authors. She starts by emphasizing the importance of books as marketing tools for entrepreneurs and businesspeople like herself. Julie mentions her own publishing company, The Media Caster's Publishing House, and highlights the team behind it.

    She distinguishes between traditional publishing, hybrid publishing, and vanity press. Traditional publishing involves authors submitting manuscripts to literary agents or publishing houses, with publishers carefully selecting manuscripts with market potential. Julie advises authors to be cautious when approaching publishing agents, as legitimate agents should not charge upfront fees. If accepted by a traditional publisher, authors receive a contract covering various aspects such as editing, cover design, marketing, and distribution. Julie emphasizes the need to have someone review the contract and mentions that publishers are not responsible for author branding or publicity.

    Hybrid publishing combines elements of traditional and self-publishing. While these publishers may require a financial contribution from authors for book development, cover design, or editing, authors retain a higher percentage of royalties compared to traditional publishing. Professional services such as editing, cover design, and distribution are provided by the publisher.

    Self-publishing, the third option discussed, allows authors to have full control over the publishing process. Authors can upload their books to platforms like Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP), IngramSpark, or Barnes & Noble. However, Julie strongly recommends investing in professional editing to ensure the book represents the author's brand effectively.

    Julie raises concerns about vanity press scams in the publishing industry. Vanity presses charge authors exorbitant fees for subpar or unnecessary services and often hold authors' books hostage. She advises authors to do thorough research, check with the Better Business Bureau, and read reviews before committing to any publishing company. Red flags to watch out for include demands for substantial upfront fees without clear service outlines, hybrid publishers requiring authors to pay for all publishing costs, and promises of instant success in exchange for hefty fees. Julie urges authors to protect their creative work and prioritize their integrity.

    She concludes by encouraging aspiring authors to believe in the power of their words and their potential as successful authors. Julie offers her support and invites listeners to reach out to her with any questions or concerns
