If you’re a freelancer in Middle Tennessee, this episode is a must listen!

I met Steve Lomas through my good friend and MMTBP regular, Amanda Banks. She saw the immediate connection Steve and I had in the creative space. 
our conversation revolved around the challenges of finding reliable freelancers on platforms like Fiverr, the importance of networking and relationship building in business, and the evolution of the creative industry. 

We discussed the value of personal connections in the broadcasting and content creation fields, and the need for onboarding and developing young talent. 
Collaborating with skilled freelancers and the importance of building a strong foundation through basic strategies is also a strength. Just be aware of the nature between transactional and relational people, and the value of small gestures like buying coffee for others in building genuine connections.

I met John Mediana at Jim Morris’ Impact Effect 23 in October 2023. He and I had an instant connection upon discovering that we both lived and worked in Las Vegas once upon a time, prior to moving to Middle Tennessee.

John has produced some impressive content for a myriad of equally impressive clients over his years in video production. He’s found a powerful niche within personal branding for executives in and around Nashville. 

About John:

“Since the fifth  grade, I had a desire to create; I developed a passion for photography and the filmmaking process. I couldn’t wait for TBS’ dinner & a movie just to watch the behind the scenes and hear the director discuss the film. I never knew the relationship between the two. When I realized the connection between  photography and filmmaking, I began to wonder how my still photos would translate into motion picture form. I was shaped by the skateboard & hip hop culture growing up, and then started writing songs and playing in garage bands. At that moment, I started making things and discovering and exploring more. I started designing myspace pages for bands and creating EPK’s for artists my senior year of high school.
 
Throughout middle school and high school, I continued creating, which led to my acceptance at The Art Institute of California, Santa Monica.
​
I was in my own little world at The Art Institute until I started collaborating with talented, like-minded individuals which further led to groundbreaking projects. While I was working on collaborative passion projects, I continued to build my brand as a freelance photographer & filmmaker. The best part about where I am today is that my work both motion and still has gotten me here. They did and still do continue to open doors for me.
 
I’ve pursued my art education for a span of over 6 years and have directed and worked on countless industry projects, I can't wait to continue turning the page of this new chapter and seeing where the future takes me.”


Highlights:
Creativity, entrepreneurship, and branding in Las Vegas. (4:20)

Personal branding and video production. (9:17)

Las Vegas' evolution from a gambling destination to a global community hub. (17:49)

Moving from Vegas to Nashville and adapting to the new community. (27:21)

Networking and connecting with people in Nashville's entrepreneurial community. (31:47)

Making a music video in a living room with famous musicians. (35:49)

Authenticity and legacy in marketing and business. (50:13)

Podcasting, marketing, and building relationships. (1:09:45)

I met Matt Rogers at a BNI meeting a few years back. We’ve loosely kept in touch over the years, but once I had a podcast of my own, I knew I would have to have him as a guest! 

In his mid-forties, Matt has packed some life under his belt. He’s been:

An 11th place contestant on the 3rd season of American IdolAn NFL player with the Cincinnati BengalsA Radio and TV HostA Professional Inspirational SpeakerAn EntrepreneurTennessee Titans Stadium AnnouncerAuctioneerAnd then some. 

To say that Matt has ever squandered an opportunity would be a very inaccurate statement!

Matt is also a very Godly Christian Believer. We delve into the notion that the world is in desperate need of God, the hypocrisy of today’s modern church, and how God isn’t really in control. As we approach Easter this weekend, I thought this episode would be quite timely.  

Highlights:
Life experiences, music, and TV hosting. (4:12)
NFL players' financial management and trust issues. (15:33)
Parenthood, career goals, and finding peace in life. (20:17)
Jesus' existence and resurrection. (33:26)
Faith and healing among business leaders. (41:13)
Christianity and living a life of freedom in Jesus. (57:08)
Sexual abuse in Hollywood and seeking justice. (1:06:01)
