Our brains are wired to filter out information that is unnecessary; that’s why marketing fails so often. To get through the filter and get your client’s attention, you’ll have to do something radical—you’ll have to get different. Author and entrepreneur advocate, Michael Michalowicz shares his solution to the highly ignorable marketing trap.   

In this episode we learn:
- organize clients by revenue spent and their crush factor (how much you love working with them)
- find out where your ideal clients converge and market there
- avoid being highly ignorable, approach clients in a way that gets their attention
- perform your own R&D (rip off and duplicate)
- be the true you; lean into it
- be strategic about the mediums your market in (e.g., blog, tv, print ad, Facebook ad, etc.)
- also, be strategic about the method (e.g., gift basket of cookies vs. gift basket of tequila)
introduce keys (signifier that tells you if the marketing piece is working)

244. 3 Ways to Levearage your Art

“Diany Dior (These Days)” by Unknown is a sexy drill-infused, high-energy anthem fusing designer lifestyle with raw self-reflection. Bridging New York and UK drill aesthetics, Unknown channels the bounce of Ice Spice and Cash Cobain, the melodic edge of Don Toliver and d4vd, and the genre-blending finesse of Jordan Adetunji’s “Kehlani” remix.

With themes of fake love, emotional distance, and self-made glow-up, Unknown delivers smooth yet gritty vocals over glossy production — this is fashion-forward heartbreak, built for the streets and the runway alike.

Suppor The drop

In this episode of the Mom and Dad Design Club podcast, first-time moms Tarra Avila, Lauren Korb, and Haley Salas share their personal experiences navigating motherhood, pregnancy, and maternity leave. They discuss the challenges of balancing work and family life, the emotional rollercoaster of pregnancy, and the identity shifts that come with becoming a mother. The conversation highlights the importance of community and support among new moms, as well as the realities of postpartum life that are often not discussed openly.

Please listen to the EP where "Follow me" comes in different styles!
https://soundcloud.com/bondlezz/sets/follow-me

“Follow Me” returns in a bold, brooding new skin, where disco decadence meets techno cathedral. With throbbing basslines, analog synth textures, and a hauntingly detached vocal delivery, Amanda’s seduction becomes a manly shadowy command. Think Depeche Mode’s Violator era colliding with Berlin’s underground pulse. Minimal. Hypnotic. Irresistible. A track that doesn’t ask! It pulls you into the smoke-drenched floor of Berghain and doesn’t let go. 

FOLLOW ME

[verse 1]
I’m getting out, I'm moving on
And from now on, address unknown
I shall be difficult to find
So follow me, just follow me

[verse 2]
I′ll sell you dreams and new desires
I'm trading hopes, (I'm trading names)
I'm open late
(I´m open late)
I am the night, I am your fate
So follow me, just follow me

[bridge]
Faust was right, have no regret
Gimme your soul, I′ll give you life
And all the things you want to get
So follow me, just follow me

[pre chorus]
I′ll give you wings, I'll sell you fame
Merry-go-round maybe to hell
I am the key to your problem
So follow me, just follow me

[chorus]
Unbelievable maybe
You′ll have a new identity
For a second of vanity
I want to change your destiny

[chorus]
Unbelievable maybe
You'll have a new identity
For a second of vanity
I want to change your destiny

(outro)
Unbelievable maybe
You'll have a new identity
For a second of vanity
I want to change your destiny

"Welcome to my world of music where each song is a mirror of my inner self.
As someone diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and living with hypersensitivity, my emotions run deep and so do my lyrics. 

Writing music is not just a passion, it's a lifeline. 
It helps me process the chaos, the beauty, the pain and the moments of light.

Each song I create carries the weight of real experiences drawn from struggles, intensity and vulnerability. 

I write to understand myself and hopefully to help others feel understood too.

While studying Songwriting and Sound Engineering I also explore the use of AI music production tools to expand my emotional storytelling with modern and expressive soundscapes.

All lyrics in my original songs are written by me, born from my inner voice and truth.
(With the exception of reworks or covers.)

Thank you very much for listening to my tunes and stories.
If my songs resonate with you, know that you're not alone."

Let´s keep posted ...
