Is Your Business Ready for Online Marketing? Live on Ustream.tv with Warren Lanier Jr.

 

San Diego,CA-Warren Lanier, Jr. Chief Visionary Officer and CEO of Bridge Point Marketing joins David Kamatoy this evening to talk about making your business ready for online marketing. Live at 5-7p.m. Tuesday 18th, 2009 on Ustream.tv or www.DavidKamatoy.com. Warren Lanier is the founder of Bridge Point Marketing, a full service marketing firm that specializes in bridging the gap between traditional advertising philosophy and internet marketing.

"I like to fashion my efforts after the insights of Peter F. Drucker who said, 'because its purpose is to create a customer, the business has two and only two functions: Marketing and Innovation. Marketing and Innovation produce results. All the rest are costs.'" This is why our slogan is simply..."We get our customers, customers." says Warren Lanier

Warren will discuss the common misconceptions that businesses make as they launch a campaign and often wonder why it didn't work. He will talk about how to tell the difference between someone who knows what they are talking about and someone who is blowing smoke.

Those who are currently taking online classes on business and marketing can benefit from watching the show.

"I wanted to bring Warren onto the show to discuss some of the generational issues that we are witnessing with the rise of social media. Social media is getting the buzz right now but the reality is that the same old school principles apply it's just changed forms and is highly scaleable, ultimately leveling the playing field even more." says David Kamatoy, host.

"If your interested in building your business online this is the show to watch. We understand the challenge of the entrepreneur. Your busy running your business, while marketing your business is really another full time job. We want to be able to bridge that gap with knowledge and service."

Warren was instrumental in his position at ipower, inc. one of the largest website hosting service companies on the web; where he created, implemented and managed online marketing campaigns (cpc, cpa, seo, sem, email marketing, content marketing, etc.) that assisted in taking the company from being a virtual unknown to its present ranking of #5 world-wide in the shared website hosting industry. After leaving that company he started Bridge Point Marketing and is currently working with and helping to develop other companies with effective marketing and business development campaigns.

A moment of negativity can drag down your positivity...

It's a hard thing to imagine until it happens. That moment of insanity when after working your ass off for days and weeks to make something happen something negative drags you down.

I was a witness and a participant to this several times in the last week. A lot of people see negativity as a sign to run away from something. Which I always founabld weird because I learned a long time ago that sometimes the greatest accomplishments are difficult to come by.

If everyone could do the improbable it would be probable. It would be mediocre.

I am not saying that universe does not also give you signs to RUN AWAY. But I am stating that in those moments of negativity there is opportunity.

Here a few things that I did in the last few days to reorganize my thoughts.

1. SLOW DOWN- As much as I want to accomplish everything right now. I realize that there are only 24 hours in a day and when you are working 12-16 hour days there is really not much more you can accomplish.

If you are feeling overwhelm it's because your mind is not focusing on what's next but focused on an unrealistic future or worse the past. The past is long gone and unchangeable.

2. SLEEP ON IT- As a student of Hypnotherapy I learned that the mind naturally problem solves while sleeping. So sleep deprivation while dealing with major problems is going to magnify a situation.

Often a small cat nap or Self- Hypnosis will also help reset the brain and allow you to focus on what's next.

Even at this very moment as I write this I am worried about things that I can't control. But I am pushing those elements down in size in the theatre of my mind and focusing on several tasks that I can control directly in front of me.

Just a though from the mind of the juggler =).

Congrats on 3 Reviews For The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (abridged)

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare [Abridged]
Swedenborg Hall
1531 Tyler Avenue
San Diego, CA 92103

By Jeff Smith

Hey, this one's fun. I've seen several versions of speed-read Shakespeare, including the original, by the Reduced Shakespeare Company (who'd performed it so many times the trio just tried to entertain each other). The Lotus Theatre/Talent to aMuse version stands up to any and all. They blast through the plays, often with updated references (Chernobyl Kinsmen, Titus Androgynous - as a cooking show). Director Sophie Anderson Ziebell stresses the sheer impossibility of the task, and the cast (Kevin Six, Tyler Richard Hewes, and Tom Hall) performs with an urgency that stays funny: i.e. when asked to do an insane task, go loopy (the only questionable choice: four-letter language narrows the potential audience). The Swedenborg Hall has never been lit better (Marie Miller), and the sound design/background music (Blair Robert Nelson) is a real plus as well.
Worth a try.

August 6 Through August 29
When:
    * Thursdays at 8 p.m.
    * Fridays at 8 p.m.
    * Saturdays at 8 p.m.

 

Satire the sincerest accolade for The Compleat Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)

It will be difficult to see Kevin Six, Tom Hall, or Tyler Richards Hewes in a serious play without remembering that they crucified the works of The Bard in The Compleat Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)*, which can be seen Thursday thru Saturday at Swedenborg Hall thru August 29th. The show is produced by Lotus Theatre Collective and Talent to aMuse.

Writers Adam Long, Daniel Singer and Jess Winfield have reduced the body of The Bard’s work to about 80 minutes. The result is often just a mention of a play’s name. However, Romeo and Juliet, Titus Andronicus, Othello, and Hamlet receive much more than a mere mention.

The three actors, all marvels of fast costume changes, easily take on Shakespeare’s various characters. This includes some hilarious cross-gender situations. Their scripted ad libs were convincing. The script does call for personalizing the performance to the local venue. In Othello the intrepid trio rapped their abridged version. This pretty much rapped up Act One. Well, except for the football game carried on by the cast in the audience area.
Act II is devoted primarily to their abbreviated Hamlet. The script calls for the mention of Sir Laurence Olivier; however, they opted to mention a well known local actor with a strong Scottish brogue.

Warning to Shakespeare purist: You will hate “compleat.” To the rest of, have a blast, laugh and cry at this brutalization. It is one of the best spoofs on the honored one. I was fortunate, a few years ago, to see the three playwrights do the show. While a slightly different take on the script, Lotus Theatre Collective’s production is just as funny. In fact, I liked their less than elegant costumes even more the rather elegant costumes of the former production.

I do hope you have room on your calendar to take in The Compleat Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged). Swedenborg Hall is located at 1531 Tyler in Hillcrest. All shows are at 8 p.m. I truly hope that Shakespeare is laughing heartily in his grave. Oh, there is one point of contention: The playwrights spelled it “compleat” not as in the program ‘complete.’

Review by Hitch

[Note: The spelling of  “Complete” (or Hitch’s “Compleat”) in the title of the play, as found on the authors’ website (www.reducedshakespeare.com/shakespeare.php), is indeed “Complete”]

 

The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged)
is a rollicking and irreverent spoof of well, yes, the complete works.  Produced by the Lotus Theatre Company and ably acted by a cast of only three people, this high energy and quick paced tongue in cheek homage is clever and funny.

The play was written by Adam Long, Daniel Singer, and Jess Winfield and opened at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 1987. It has been a popular show ever since, performed in various languages around the globe.
 Directed by Sophie Anderson-Ziebell, the founder of Lotus Theatre Collective, the San Diego production stars Kevin Six, Tom Hall, and Tyler Richard Hewes. They overact, sing, dance, and cavort to perfection, but do get chances to demonstrate their Shakespearean chops a time or two, and to their credit.  Each of them plays many roles and the action is constant as they grab prop swords and don wigs, running on and off stage and physically working hard to successfully keep up a frenetic pace throughout. 
 They have to move fast to work in all 38 works included, however briefly, in this satire.

There is a little bit of every piece written by Will in here, and the ways the various bits are woven into the play are imaginative, with a lot of verbal interaction between the players and the audience, and some physical audience participation as well.  Pay attention closely or you could miss some of the rapid fire dialogue. 
 Although the costuming, by Abigail Hughes (wife of actor Tyler) is traditional, the music is contemporary and provides the perfect backdrop when the company lapses into a couple of very funny musical numbers.

If you check your reverence for the bard at the door, and let yourself go in this over the top theatrical experience, you will enjoy yourself.
 The play is stage[managed]d by Lizzie Silverman, assisted by Kirsten Turkle.  The Sound design is provided by Blair Nelson and Lighting Design is by Marie Miller.  It runs 1 hour and 38 minutes, including an intermission.  

Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged), produced by the Lotus Theatre Collective (www.lotustheatrecollective.com), is running August 6 – 29 at Swedenborg Hall in San Diego.  The Hall is at 1531 Tyler Avenue, San Diego, Ca.

Review by Kathleen Downs

I just got with a slew of SPAM on Googlemail...

Has anyone else been hit. I usually have a few random pieces that I can easily ignore but it seems as though I just got nailed for some reason. There also seems to be no consistency to the hit.

It could be a new Catch All Bot that's pushing them out. Just wondering.

Attempting to work blogging back into the schedule...

We have mounting hours of footage to go through from the Comic Con to the Masters Hall of Fame. In addition a series of press releases that need to go out to at the top of the week.

I am confident that we can make a dent in it this weekend if we can keep the coffee, caffeine ad b-12 burning.

Hope everyone had a productive week. Thanks for tuning in.

We are continuing to improve the LiveStream Show  technically we should hear and see some changes in the next week.

In tandem we will start a bit more aggressive promotion as production values improve.

Jocko Marcellino of Sha Na Na interviewed on UStream.tv about 40th Anniversary of Woodstock

Youtube Replay.

Live video by Ustream
You can twitter me during the show @davidkamatoy

We invite you to join us live online for the show on UStream.tv for a very special show with my friend Jocko. 

Harry Waters Jr. and I met Jocko several years ago when his son was attending a school that Harry and I did a workshop in. The guys bonded over 50's gigs, Baby Boomer Stuff, Entertainment and Kids. 

When I saw it was the 40th Anniversary of Woodstock. I emailed Jocko out of the blue and he immediately called me back and said, "Let's do it." 

So Steve Prendergast and I dropped a press release and boom let's Rock and Roll. 

TransworldNews Press Release 

Jocko Marcellino of Sha Na Na to be interviewed on UStream.tv

about 40th Anniversary of Woodstock

San Diego, CA - Sha Na Na's Jocko Marcellino joins David Kamatoy live on UStream.tv and DavidKamatoy.com on Wednesday, August 12th, at 9:00 a.m. PST to talk about the festivities surrounding the Woodstock 40th Anniversary. Sha Na Na performed at Woodstock at about sunrise on the last day of the festival, just before the late Jimi Hendrix. As a founding member of Sha Na Na, Jocko Marcellino has the distinction of performing in the most successful music documentary ever, Woodstock.

Woodstock became a launching point for the group, as Sha Na Na was the only group at the festival without a record deal. They received one immediately afterward, and today the group has released more than 25 albums, with worldwide sales of more than 20 million. The group also performed in the movie musical Grease, and had their own television show from 1977 to 1981.

This week Jocko has been attending events, screenings, and reunions based on the 40th Anniversary of the Woodstock Festival. Jocko has agreed to share with David Kamatoy's audience some stories both past and present from the original Woodstock and the attention that he is getting wrapped around the 40th Anniversary. "We did 40 minutes and were paid $300,” Marcellino once recalled about the original Woodstock, “and the check bounced!"

"I want to catch up with Jocko. His story is unique in that they were a 50's tribute band that ended up with a very successful television show. Ultimately creating a strong brand with staying power."  David Kamatoy comments.

To this day Sha Na Na performs over 100 shows a year, and they released a 40th Anniversary Collectors Edition CD on July 19th, 2009. Visit www.ShaNaNa.com for more information.

The David Kamatoy Radio Show can usually be seen at 4:00-7:00 p.m. on Tuesdays and Thursdays at www.DavidKamatoy.com or on UStream.tv at http://www.ustream.tv/channel/david-kamatoy-radio-show.

Recovering from Masters Hall of Fame and Long Beach Internationals

I just spent an incredibly surreal last few day shooting the Masters Hall of Fame, surrounded by legends of the martial arts. It was a humbling experience to say the least. I am transferring the HD footage now onto the drives followed by the SD shortly thereafter.

We have several hours of footage go through still from Comic-Con and now Masters Hall of Fame.

Things are really starting to pick up and it felt better today because I was able to get some more help for the projects on board as well.

On another random note. We went live on Ustream.tv for an impromptu show specifically for Quattro University and in the interim ended up picking up an audience and a subscriber on youtube. YEAH!

So as we foray into the Live Streaming world, hammer out the press releases and blogs. Things are picking up.

The hard thing is that there is still a ton of work that needs to be done in order to get ahead of the curve.

Thank you for your support and attention as I try to get back into the writing spirit.
