Day 97 of 365


• Day 97 of 365

The beauty of team work changes everything. It helps each other fight any fears, or learn from the experience of one another. Having the strengths of individuals helping the weakness of others. We all have skills and in one week over 3 months, Top Of The Bottom Pile is completely accomplishing goals. We have set out to brand and network in this first 365 days. When shows come to us, we'll take them as opportunities for marketing our b rand, and getting the proper PR to help establish our motion forward. Things I have fallen in love with is our comradery. We respect one another, and we are here for guidance. Molding our sets, great feedback, and most importantly teamwork in strides.

Some things that have helped is our outreach to people we respect in the business. Those working hard to maintain success, and help others. I love our video interview project we have set in motion. The first being with Jeff Lawrence from Laughing Buddha Comedy. We ave another interview in the bag, and will release that next month in February. The purpose of that is to show our respect to these individuals while helping build their brand and us ours. The power of networking! Everyone wins, and best of all, people learn things from these interviews. It's very exciting. The other venture is our push next month to increase our interviews and interaction.

We are splitting the workload into groups, as there are 4 main members who have the time to do so. Making contacts in press, radio and other avenues, we'll continue to maintain a stride forward. Our social media numbers continue to grow each week on an average of 33 people for all our social outlets. With seven outlets, all going each week, things are looking up for Top of the Bottom Pile! A few outsiders may have said that we need to perform more. Performance is for the growth of your skill as a joke teller and performer. Our company is about growing the brand while we build our skill. In the process of this we shall continue to enrich our networking relationships with people.

This world grows with unity!

Working out, kind of


• Working out, kind of

I have been very bad with my working out. I was formerly an avid workout kind of person. 5 days a week spent eating correctly and really pushing to make sure I hit the gym everyday. I find myself slacking in other areas of working out too; writing, comedy, music, rest and relaxation, and meditation. These things help guide me, focus me, make me a better person to accomplish goals that I have set before me. It is my job to maintain a healthy life, a growing life and a purpose beyond being successful. I began my slack in life when I came back from Florida. Yes I am working hard and getting things completed, but I am forgetting to work hard on myself.

Slowly but surely the gym has become something of a once every two week visit; my personal goal is 3 times a week to begin with. But even if I hit the gym twice a week, that is more than zero. With comedy (working with Top of the Bottom Pile) I've been practicing more. I also have a new bass player to work with which is motivating me to play again. So without finding the time, Anthony has pushed me to pick up the guitar and start singing again. I was also writing 15 blogs a week. Now I am only writing this one and who knows how much time has gone by. Change comes from being aware, so let me get on the path of awareness.

Being successful in this business will always begin with self. Without me, there would be nothing else. Take care of your body, your mind and your soul. These things are your vehicle, control and moral understanding of your personal barometer. Sometimes you need a good partner nagging you to do what is correct so you don't falter. So respect those who care enough to remind you when you are slacking and lack motivation. Start doing something once a day, or even a few minutes a day. When I was younger I practiced guitar 8 hours a day (Being young with no responsibilities, yay!). Now if I hit 15 minutes, I'm still doing it right.

An interview with Jeff Lawrence


• Interview of Jeff Lawrence!!!

Recently I've had the pleasure of interviewing Jeff Lawrence; owner of Laughing Buddha Comedy (LBC). I took the boys from the Top of the Bottom Pile tour and we headed out to New York City to sit in the beautiful Village Lantern so we could record an insightful 5 minutes of "How success came to Jeff and LBC".

Talking about dealing with comedy classes, networking and the idea that you have to stand out were some of the topics we glanced over. I enjoyed his conversation, energy, and of course that wonderful Buddha smile!
