Improv Everywhere An Interview with Charlie Todd - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career

Improv Everywhere An Interview with Charlie Todd - Personal Branding Blog - Stand Out In Your Career Recently, I had the privilege of connecting with Charlie Todd, a well-known New York-based improviser and member of the Upright Citizens Brigade theater. In 2001, Charlie founded the prank collective Improv Everywhere, a group that causes scenes of chaos and joy in public places. Since that time, the group has executed over 100 projects involving tens of thousands of people, including the annual No Pants Subway Ride that has gained popularity in New York. We discussed Charlies personal brand, how Improv Everywhere has grown, and his advice for young people looking to build something important. How would you define your personal brand? How did you become involved with comedy? I guess my personal brand is Improv Everywhere. Ive been running it for 12 years and the large majority of my creative output has been Improv Everywhere-related. In terms of the Improv Everywhere brand, Id say its positive, ridiculous, and DIY. We dont ask for permission to create what we want to create. Ive been interested in comedy my whole life. I was a theatre major in college, but I always had the most fun with comedies, and I did a little improv on the side. I moved to New York to do theatre, but I quickly realized that the UCB was the coolest place in town. I took a level 1 class in 2001 and never left. What led you to create Improv Everywhere? How has it been able to grow into such a cultural phenomenon? Improv Everywhere was created on a whim. I played a prank in a bar one night with a friend where we fooled people into thinking I was noted rock musician Ben Folds. It was just a couple of guys screwing around in a bar, but it worked incredibly well, and I was inspired to write down the story and share it online. This was 2001 so I created a Geocities website to publish the tale. I sent it to a few friends and it felt great. I realized that the Internet gave me a platform to share my comedy, and this was five years before YouTube existed. So I kept staging new pranks and documenting them with text and photos. When YouTube came around I had all of these videotapes in boxes that I was finally able to share with the world. From there things started to snowball to what Improv Everywhere is today. The new documentary about Improv Everywhere tells this whole story very well. All those old tapes made it into the film. You can download the film on iTunes or on the filmmakers site: http://wec ausescenes.com/ What were the obstacles that you faced while building Improv Everywhere? How did you overcome them? Well, I really wasnt thinking it would become as big as it did. It was just a way for me to have fun with friends and feel like I was actually accomplishing something in New York. It was a way to express myself creatively. So really it took years and years before anyone outside of friends or maybe friends of friends was aware of Improv Everywhere. Our main obstacles were learning how to get away with staging unauthorized projects. We had a few hiccups over the years. I had the cops called on me at Best Buy, wound up in handcuffs while staging a fake U2 concert on my roof, and half dozen friends were detained in their underwear during the No Pants Subway Ride one year. I learned a ton along the way, and each incident only fueled interest in the group. What impact do you hope your organization makes? What reactions do you find most enjoyable when you are creating a scene? Were not trying to change the world, but I do think we do a nice job of injecting humor and positivity into routine public spaces. My favorite moments are the reactions to a new idea. We go into these projects having no idea how people will react. Will the staff of Katzs Deli enjoy having 20 women fake an orgasm simultaneously in their establishment? Yes, as it turns out. It was a blast watching it all unfold. What are one or two pieces of advice you would give to someone looking to build a successful company or career? Do what you love and give it away for free. Over and over again until people take notice. Dont wait for someone to give you a break. You dont need a record deal to write an album. You dont need a book deal to write your novel. You dont need the approval of a TV executive to make your show. Greenlight yourself and get to work! Do it for no money with friends who have the same goals as you. Do it because you love it and one day it might become your career. Charlie really is a revolutionary figure in the world of improv. Check out Improv Everywhere, and if you are in New York, see him perform at the UCB Theater.

Got Hope Current and Future Job Prospects for 50-Plus Workers with Kathy Lansford [Podcast] - Career Pivot

Got Hope Current and Future Job Prospects for 50-Plus Workers with Kathy Lansford [Podcast] - Career Pivot Episode #126 â€" Marc Miller and career coach Kathy Lansford discuss the job search for seniors Description: After several years of different career paths, Kathy unexpectedly fell into something she loves to do â€" helping people find jobs. Kathy is an award-winning trainer, skilled in the design and presentation of seminars and workshops that have helped thousands of job seekers secure excellent career opportunities. She is the creator and facilitator of Launch Pad Job Club, Austin’s largest nonprofit networking and support group for job seekers, through which members are informed, motivated, and entertained through the job search process.

That is triple the number of downloads from April 2018. Thank you! [2:54] Next week, Marc will interview Andrew Scott, co-author of The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity. What will you do with all that extra time? [3:08] This week, Marc is speaking with Kathy Lansford, the founder of Launch Pad Job Club, the first and one of the largest job clubs in Texas, founded in 2001. They are discussing current and future job prospects for 50+ workers. Now on to the podcast… Download Link | iTunes|Stitcher Radio|Google Podcast| Podbean | TuneIn | Overcast [3:27] Marc shares Kathy’s bio and welcomes her to Repurpose Your Career. [4:32] Kathy was a job search skills trainer for many years at the Workforce Solutions office. After a break, she went to Austin Community College at the tail end of an AARP grant to help people over 50 find jobs. After the grant ended, ACC took over the project, expanding the services to the general ACC population, as well. [5:29] Marc met Kathy in 2006 after leaving his teaching job, when he got involved in Launch Pad Job Club. Later that year, Marc joined the board. Kathy is an expert on job search for people over 50. Marc introduces the topic of today’s episode: “Got Hope? Current and Future Job Prospects for 50+ Workers.” [6:17] Kathy describes negative job trends for those over 50. Ageism is rampant, especially in a youth-oriented city like Austin, where Kathy lives. The skill sets of older workers are not wanted. Age discrimination is illegal but age questions are often asked. [9:03] Kathy attends a group where people share their frustration at having their age used against them in the job search process before they can present their skills. [9:37] Ten years ago, the Supreme Court made a decision that makes it harder to prove age discrimination than for other forms of discrimination. [10:15] In the dotcom crash in 2001, in Austin, the first big layoff was at Dell. The laid-off workers had to sign waivers they would not sue for being laid off to get a severance package. [13:27] If a company lays off evenly across all age groups, and then hires back only younger workers, that is the basis of a lawsuit. [13:40] Recently a discrimination suit was settled against Facebook for only showing job postings to young people. Facebook ads allow a variety of targeting. Sellers can provide an email list and ask Facebook to find people who “look like these people.” [15:29] A Bloomberg podcast recently stated that for some platforms, like Facebook, a $3 billion fine is inconsequential. They will keep doing what they do. [15:59] Application tracking systems can screen for years of experience to target age ranges. The older job seeker never knows that their resume is never seen. [16:54] “Conversant in digital speak” and “digital native” are codes for “young.” [17:41] Kathy points out areas of hope. Lots of big companies are finding that they have gone too far to the young end of the spectrum. Kathy heard from her son in the semiconductor industry that young people don’t want to spend the time to be trained in processes. They quit after 12 to 18 months and move on to the next gig. [20:31] AARP is an advocate for older workers. Kathy talks about their five-year grant, open to anyone over 50 and their one-year WESI grant open to women over 50. Women over 50 make up the largest-growing poverty group in the country. The AARP Austin five-year grant was successful in getting a lot of people to work. [22:49] People over 50 stay unemployed longer. Kathy cites a statistic that job seekers 55 to 64 are out of work 34 weeks, on average. Job hunters 20 to 24 are out of work 15 weeks, on average. [23:46] Marc had Carol Fishman Cohen on the podcast from iRelaunch some months ago. Kathy talks about the iRelaunch program, aimed largely at caregivers re-joining the technological workforce. GM has had several of these initiatives in conjunction with the American Society of Women Engineers and they hired many of the participants. [25:32] Because the economy is so strong, with such low unemployment, companies are looking for talent anywhere; they are even willing to look in the “gray-haired world.” [25:57] Kathy remembers a program from years ago with Eli Lilly and another pharmaceutical firm who created a pool of their retirees to call in for specific big projects at a good salary on a temporary basis. [27:05] Companies with a strong diversity program are adding older workers to their diversity list. [27:55] Marc will have Tami Forman of Path Forward on the Repurpose Your Career podcast in about a month to talk about helping companies create re-entry programs for professionals. [28:29] Kathy mentions the Candice Bergen of the Murphy Brown show coming back as a relaunched career. Isabella Rosellini was long the face of Lancôme until they no longer needed her services due to age. In her 60s, they hired her again to represent older women who want to be beautiful. [29:40] One of Kathy’s clients’ ex-husband has a Ph.D. in optical engineering. After working in startups for years, he taught high school math and physics for 15 years. At age 66, he has just started up with defense contractor BAE Systems who appreciates his expertise and experience. [30:47] People have to be tenacious to get a good job in tech. One of Kathy’s clients with a Masters’ degree used Jobscan for LinkedIn. Jobscan scores your resume by the keywords in a job posting. They suggest having a keyword score of at least 80% before submitting a resume. The premium version of Jobscan also scans your LinkedIn profile. [33:17] Kathy’s client made the changes to his LinkedIn profile suggested by Jobscan. He had the premium version of LinkedIn so he could track traffic. Very quickly, the traffic to his profile increased by 300%. A recruiter who visited his profile helped him get a senior-level position with the city of Austin. He is close to 60 and in a wheelchair. [34:21] Public sector jobs tend not to discriminate by age. They look at your skills, background, and what you have to offer. [34:49] Kathy shares a case study of a woman unemployed for a year. Kathy helped her with the state application and mock interview through the Back to Work 50+ program. [35:47] Kathy’s client was turned down for different state positions until she networked with two friends who were at NXP (formerly Freescale and Motorola). Her friends got her connected there. She ended up with a $63K career job at NXP. [37:23] Tenacity is incredibly important. Older people tend to be tenacious. Pro Publica had an article that half of us over 50 will be forced into retirement, not by choice. [38:49] Austin now has some of the lowest mobility rates in the last 50 years. People don’t want to move. People are willing to work for less to stay. Some people are tethered by conditions; where they want to live, base salary, or base position wanted. [40:48] Consider taking a step down the career ladder, or changing industries. Could you get a job if you loosened your requirements? Kathy shares case studies of people who expanded the scope of their search. Be open-minded and flexible. [43:53] Marc gives a case study of a woman who drove for Lyft and got multiple contract gigs from passengers. Getting out and meeting people got her out of her funk. [44:55] Volunteering is another way to feel fulfilled by sharing skills you have that others need and value. Sometimes a non-profit will hire people from among their volunteers who are mission-driven. [46:07] Marc tells of his image consultant, Jean, who has launched a Fulfillment by Amazon business for a pierced earring back for women with sagging earlobes. She sources them in China and sells them on Amazon. [47:04] There are all types of things you can do to make money these days. [47:15] Kathy’s closing thoughts: everybody who wants to go to work, goes to work, whether at a job with benefits or a gig. The only people who don’t get a job are people who quit looking and quit believing in themselves. Reach out. Surround yourself with people who are energetic, positive, supportive, and excited. Help each other succeed! [48:23] Marc thanks Kathy and hopes you enjoyed this episode. Marc has known Kathy for over a decade. Her dedication to helping older workers find jobs is remarkable. Marc wants you to remember the word ‘tenacity.’ [48:47] The Career Pivot Community website has become a valuable resource for more than 50 members who are participating in the Beta phase of this project. Marc is recruiting new members for the next cohort. [48:59] If you are interested in the endeavor and would like to be put on the waiting list, please go to CareerPivot.com/Community.

Go to CareerPivot.com/Community to learn more. [49:43] Marc invites you to connect with him on LinkedIn.com/in/mrmiller. Just include in the connection request that you heard Marc on this podcast.

Well, if you’re like the thousands of people working a job just to pay the bills, but wishing and knowing that you could be happier, more fulfilled, and go to bed at night feeling like you made a real difference with your efforts that day... Then you’re in luck. Because, in this article, I’m going to give you three easy steps to getting a purpose-driven job. As well as offer a special, one-time only opportunity to ask your biggest questions to one of the most qualified purpose-driven career experts on the planet. 3 Easy Steps To Getting A Purpose-Driven Job So, let’s get started with the three easy steps to getting a purpose-driven job: 1. Look In The Right Places There are thousands of fun, amazing, purpose-driven organizations out there that are making a profit as well as a difference - you just need to know where to find them. A great place to start is a website that lists the top purpose-driven companies in the world, called the GameChangers 500. I’ll tell you where to find 13 more sites like this in a variety of industries and areas in a moment, but first let’s get into Step 2. 2. Find The Perfect Fit Step 2 is to find the company whose mission, culture, and values resonate with you the most. This is perhaps the most important element of getting hired by a purpose-driven company, because in order to get hired by an organization like this, you’re going to have to match their passion for their mission. 3. Make An Impact Lastly, you need to know how to make an impact and get their attention. Job competition is fierce in most industries these days, but lucky for you - there are simple, proven ways to stand out and get the job. The best way to do this is to tailor your application as much as possible to the company you’re applying for. Study their organization, values, culture, and the position they’re looking for, and use the same language they do in your application. Tell them why you’re passionate about their mission, and how you’re going to add value and help them achieve it. Do something creative to go above and beyond with your application and show them how much you want the job. YouTube cover letters, personal blogs or websites, and custom designed applications are a few great examples of how to do this. Your Special, One-Time Only Bonus Now, I promised you that I’d tell you where to find 13 more job sites with thousands of purpose-driven job opportunities in a variety of fields and locations… And I actually have more added bonus to throw in there as well: It’s a one-time, live webinar with purpose-driven career expert and founder of the GameChangers 500, Andrew Hewitt. Andrew’s wisdom helped me land my dream dream a few years ago, and now we’ve partnered up to share that same wisdom with the world. There will be a 30-40 minute presentation going into detail on the unique approach to getting hired by or advancing in a purpose-driven org, and why it’s different than succeeding in a traditional corporation… Watch This Webinar! So, if you want to work for this new type of organization, wake up excited to go to work, and go to bed peacefully knowing that you made a difference, then join Andrew on this informative hour-long webinar.   WATCH NOW ?   Photo Credit: Shutterstock About The Presenter Andrew Hewitt was driven to make a difference after he witnessed hordes of his talented university friends strive for success in high status careers, only to find themselves disheartened by the profit-at-all-cost corporate mentality. To help his generation launch meaningful careers, Andrew set out to create the GameChangers 500 list. If the Fortune 500 was the benchmark of success in the 20th century, Andrew’s vision is for the GameChangers 500 to become that benchmark in the 21st century. Andrew has been recognized as one of Canada’s top young entrepreneurs, is a bestselling author, and a guest lecturer on Social Entrepreneurship at the United Nations University of Peace. After years of growing up in the snow, he now spends much of his time defrosting in Costa Rica and California. Have you joined our career growth club?Join Us Today!
