Brooklyn Dicent joins us to day to talk about her dual careers as a professional leadership trainer for T-Mobile and Comedienne. We cover a lot of ground and dig into social media this week again. Latin the interview we cover a topic that we've yet to dig into: VIDEO TESTIMONIALS. If nothing else, dig into this portion.
We also talk about:
- Growing up as a preacher's kid
- Getting a challenge from her father at 12 to speak in front of the church
- Knowing at a young age that comedy was in her future
- Being inspired by Les Brown, Zig Ziglar, and Tony Robbins
- Walking into her first comedy club in 2004 in Portland, ME
- Taking an 8 week stand-up class
- Studying comics on Comedy Central
- Getting the audience on your side
- Improvising and weaving in stories to customize her performances
- Keeping the focus "about the audience" instead of on ourselves
- Being self-motivated to accomplish bucket list goals
- Knowing the purpose for each social media outlet
- Using Facebook Live to INTENTIONALLY connect with your followers
- Show "backstage" type inside looks with social media
- Telling stories that evolve into your brand message
- Making sure to have a Call to Action in every post
- Interjecting yourself into conversations to gain followers
