    Dan McCarthy :: Planting the Seeds for Re-Opening Michigan - JMVO Weekly Primer Ep 59

    Quarantine.....there are varying magnitudes of lock down. Each state has different interpretations of what their citizens are *not* to do. My brother, Daniel McCarthy makes his Primer debut to talk about what is going on in his state of Michigan. He is leading an initiative at his law firm to address Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer with assistance from his clients on a proposal to re-open the State following April 30, 2020. A group of his clients voluntarily joined together and retained a reliable Expert who prepared an accurate modeling report. They’re asking the Governor to consider this report, as opposed to the U of M modeling, which is based on non-public data and methodologies. If you would like more information about how to do this in your state, contact Dan at mccarthyd@butzel.com. www.butzel.com ****LISTEN to this episode and subscribe at www.jimmccarthyvoiceovers.com/podcast Sponsored by Big Dot Lighting - Commercial LED Lighting Specialists and Big Dot Electrical, LLC www.bigdotlighting.com Follow Jim: @jimmccarthyvos www.jimmccarthyvoiceovers.com Jim has been a professional voice over/video and audio producer/branding dude since 1996.

    Finding the Good - The JMVO Weekly Primer Episode 57

    Last Friday I asked people to share with me their wins for the week, no matter how small they were. I didn't expect much.   ****LISTEN to this episode and subscribe at www.jimmccarthyvoiceovers.com/podcast   A few days and 100+ comments later, people are still commenting. In any dark time, it always helps to be grateful for what you have, identify the good things that are still and always have been there and keep pushing forward.   Sometimes it helps to hear the good in other people's lives so you can identify it in yours...so I read each one of the comments in this episode.   It's good.   Get up. Persist.   If you’re a VO talent who believes in super-serving your end client, join the Blue Collar Voice Over Association: https://www.facebook.com/groups/16289...

    Matt Dubiel :: Your Employment and The Power of Leverage - The JMVO Weekly Primer Ep 56

    The economy is good and unemployment is very low. That *doesn’t* mean that you can rest on your laurels when it comes to company loyalty. ****Watch this episode and subscribe! The largest radio station operator in the US, iHeartMedia recently “displaced” over 1100 of their Programming, On-Air, and Production staff. The cuts came without warning, though the company in its various forms over the years wasn’t exactly a stranger to doling out pink slips on occasion en mass. Matt Dubiel owns a radio station in Chicago and he published a video shortly after the iHeartMedia bloodbath that empathized with those affected, but also placed blame squarely on their shoulders. You see, if you’re still on the air in any capacity, you could be building a social media presence that rivals the audience of your entire station. Actually, if you’re in a myriad of sales positions, you could be doing the same. This way, if your company decides to pull the rug out from under you, you simply plant your flag elsewhere and your audience won’t skip a beat. If one day you get pulled into your boss' office and they begin talking about "moving in a different direction", how "it's nothing you did" or "we wish you well in your future endeavors", you can look them square in the face and ask, "Okay, fine! But are you sure you've thought this through?" But you need to build that audience, which will eventually give you LEVERAGE.

    Networking and How I've Been a Failure - JMVO Weekly Primer Ep 55

    Yep...I thought myself as a failure for many years...this is about as real as I've been in a long time. ****LISTEN to this episode and subscribe at https://youtu.be/1f-0yWb4sTc Thanks to various elements of conditioning I've had early in life, I've felt the stigma of a hopeless future embrace me. I honestly don't think of myself as a successful voice over dude. I know what I am capable of pulling off...I also know there are many other talents much better than me. Their talent is to be emulated and admired. They have a true gift from God. I can imagine that this might be the case for quite a number of you, especially now when everyone's "best life" is being pushed out there these days. But take heart... Failing is a good thing. Without failure: -You'll never fully appreciate a win - The mental toughness is unparraleled to those who "seem" to win - Everyone fails...it's those who will eventually win who embrace it and manage to keep pushing forward - Failure helps you to see clearly what you DO have Links referenced: Join Blue Collar Voice Over Association: https://www.facebook.com/groups/162890095034671/ https://www.facebook.com/groups/ratemyvoiceover/?fref=gs&dti=162890095034671&hc_location=group Follow Jim: @jimmccarthyvos www.jimmccarthyvoiceovers.com

    Hamburger Client Deep Dive and Rate Shaming - JMVO Weekly Primer Ep 54

    Yeah...so...the audio production guy (me) had an issue with the recording of this episode due to various software changes. I promise you the quality of the info is.....um, sound! Bear with me..... ****WATCH this episode and subscribe! There is a ton of rate shaming that goes on in VO land these days especially when it comes to prospect who lowball. I have dubbed them "Hamburger Clients". If treated properly, they may become some of your biggest fans. A few takeaways: - NEVER balk at an opportunity - This new economy in the creative space will be powered by relationships - Sharpen your selling process - Learn how to pivot during the dance - They get a chance to see what it's like to work with you, so smile and put on a show - No one wants to stay where they are and typically would like to move up. if they're your fan, they'll probably take you along - More Hamburger Clients = more referrals - It's economically smart Links referenced: Join Blue Collar Voice Over Association. https://www.jonathanlockwood.com/blog/we-dont-need-each-other?fbclid=IwAR280C8yEp8khGZtPF8PE7u1pCvmbNwX0EO0o4vW5H4Oub9p-CYfxeeDonE Follow Jim: @jimmccarthyvos www.jimmccarthyvoiceovers.com

    The Power of FAILURE :: Interview with my kid's teacher - JMVO Weekly Primer Ep 52

    Teacher/parent nights have become a part of our world these past few years and they seem to get more interesting as the grades ascend. ****Watch this episode and subscribe to the podcast: https://youtu.be/3RgBZWLgHI8 I always am eager to hear about the state-run curriculum handed down to the schools while measuring each of my kid's teacher's enthusiasm for what they're told to teach for that year. This year was a bit different.... As my wife and I went from classroom to classroom meeting my daughter's teachers, there was one that *really* stood out. Mr. Svihlik aka "Mr.S" will be handling the History and Social Studies portion of my little girl's 8 grade experience. His philosophy wasn't about making sure that she came away with all the correct dates and who was involved with what battle. Instead he was more about her learning time management skills, strategically arguing grades, and even to a certain extent, salesmanship. As one might imagine, I was quite pleased. After all, it's not often that I seek out teachers to be on the show. Some of the things discussed: - failure is okay, the earlier you know how to do it and bounce back from it, the better - the problem with labeling kids as "gifted" - hiring a kid who strives diligently for a "B" over the kid who effortlessly earns an "A" - the immensely growing importance of trade schools As always, the JMVO Weekly Primer is sponsored by @Big Dot Lighting - Commercial LED Lighting Specialists.
