Curve The Cube: Where Dreamers Become Doers - Inspiration And Motivation To Find Your Passion... Do Your Thing!!

Hey guys! In order to make this podcast an honest resource, it is important for me to share how I'm curving my own cube, too. Well, a must-make-happen item for me for 2017 was to attend at least one podcasting conference this year. It was a BIG, lofty, pie-in-the sky goal that I was determined to make happen, and thanks to Chris Krimitsos and the generous team at Podfest, I'm getting to do just that!! They have sponsored my ticket for podfest, and I am gearing up... So, take a listen! It's important, when you are a dreamer wanting to become a doer, not only to take advantage of every opportunity that comes your way, but to do whatever it takes to make the opportunities happen in the first place.

Welcome to episode #107 of Curve the Cube--the podcast where dreamers become doers! I am your host, Jaime Legagneur of the Flint Stone Media Podcast Network. I'm probably the last person to tell you this, but HAPPY NEW YEAR!! It has been SOOO long since I've been able to bring my voice to you guys, and oh how I have missed you so much!! I LOVE bringing you podcasts and helping others podcast; but, I had to put it all aside for a little while, and on this episode, I tell you why. I also recap 2016 and highlight some of the lessons, guests, and issues that made 2016 so fun, special, and insightful. These guests really motivated me to further curve my own cube, and I go over some of the milestones I experienced this year in my own business and passion projects. In looking ahead to 2017, I share so many bits of exciting news, I can hardly handle it!! But, it's all so great--from the inspiring guests I've already booked to some fun things I have planned for podcasting. So, buckle in with me for this wild ride I f

I recorded this podcast with Jason Parsley, Executive Editor of the South Florida Gay News about a month ago, guys, and I'm so excited to finally bring you this episode! We first met on episode #102 when Jason lent his voice to the post-election protest in downtown West Palm Beach. I loved his passion for his cause and just HAD to have a guested episode with him! As the Executive Editor of the South Florida Gay News, Jason lends his journalism talents to depicting gay life down here in south Florida. He strives to strike a balance between being gay community-focused, while also presenting people in a broader sense to remind us all that sexual orientation and the issues that go along with that aren't the only ways to define people. With a wide reach of TOPICS ranging from entertainment to politics (and all the blurry lines in between), there are a host of interests in the South Florida Gay News sure to keep you reading and in the know!! Thanks so much for listening. Remember to find you passion and do your th

Guys!! I was invited to present recently at a Center for Autism and Related Disabilities at Florida Atlantic University's Career Day, and it was wonderful. One of my career goals is public speaking, and this was my first dive into it. I was such impressive company--other presenters including an environmentalist, event planner, comic book illustrator, creator of an online social community for the disabled, and a police officer. So, THANK YOU to Mr. Darius Murray, CARD's Clinical Mentoring Associate, for having me. It was such an epic honor!! But, I only got to talk for about 10 minutes (and, you guys know I can TALK!). Since I really had to rush through my story and its lessons, I decided to flesh out a whole solocast for you. On this episode, I share how and why I changed my career, the journey I took to get to where I am (so far), and some advice on how to do the same yourself. (Hint: It involves a LOT of hard work!) I have included my actual Career Day Powerpoint presentation as a bonus download, in case y

It's the 104th episode of the Curve the Cube podcast with local and already legendary artist and activist Rolando Chang Barerro!! This man has seen, been through, and done a LOT. I mean, holy schnikes!! You've been warned, curvists... This episode is pretty raw. I met up with Rolando at his latest gallery venture, the Box Gallery off of Belvedere Road in West Palm Beach--really excited to talk about his art and his career and everything like that. But, we ended up talking, yes... about that, but also about SO MUCH MORE!! From the HIV/AIDS crisis in the 80s through the evolution of activism into modern times, Rolando has seen up close and personal a history in this country that hasn't always been pretty, but has brought out a spirit of activism that has always been at the core beautiful. So, sit back and relax, and enjoy this, the 104th episode of Curve the Cube with artist, activist, and overall wonderful human, Rolando Chang Barerro.

An up-and-coming stand-up comedian, Eddie Willcox, is as genuine a guy as he is funny. This podcast came about practically overnight, as Eddie's energy was too infectious to wait!! You'll hear him share how and why he has recently reignited his zest for life and passion for comedy. Eddie leaves no stone unturned, gets very honest, and leaves me wanting to have him around all the time. And, after you hear him open up, make sure you're the next in line at his next show!! (I'll try to keep you as updated as possible on his schedule through social media!) You'll hear me call it episode 102 in the intro and outro because I had to unexpectedly bump my release schedule back by a week. (The actual episode 102 explains why.) So, I am so excited to FINALLY bring you this amazing episode with Eddie!!

Curvists and new listeners, the foundation of a pursuit of dreams for many is the American Dream itself, and there is really no dream more emblematic or inspiring around the world than that beacon America has been as a place where hope meets hard work. But, we find ourselves at a time in our American history where masses of people feel like that American Dream is at grave risk for them. And, this election (and, for many, Donald Trump himself, is a driving force of either a promise newly lost or a promise newly regained. So, as I heard of an anti-Trump protest on Veterans Day right here in West Palm Beach (and, a bubbling counter-protest), I decided to head down there and see what those dreams are for people. There is a clear passion involved in both protesting and counter-protesting, and I wanted to get to the root of some of this passion. And, I was as struck by the diversity of answers as I was by the possible areas of common ground that seemed to surface. So, my hope with this episode is to allay fears, b

Established Curvists and new listeners alike: your host and producer shares a message of the importance of doing what you dream on this episode of Curve the Cube! People get taken off their course in life for all sorts of reasons. But, whether as a hobby, a part-time gig, or as a full-time thing, doing what you love is simply vital to one's spirit, and we can't allow ourselves to forget that. I mean, the alternative is to live every day in black-and-white, instead of the vibrant color that could await you. And, since we all only get one walk through this life on Earth, we shouldn't waste it, right? In this podcast, I discuss not only the importance of feeding your soul with what you love, but to do so smartly and with measured risk, if, like me and some other curvists, your goal is to make a living off of your dream and your dream alone. And, I share what pursuing my own dream has meant in my life: the opportunities I've had come my way, the people I have met, and the conversations with guests that have real

If you're anywhere NEAR as big of a fan as I am of my FAVORITE movie of all time, The Neverending Story, then you will LOVE hearing me chat with Tami Stronach. (I mean, it's not every day you get to talk to a childlike empress!) And, it’s not every day you get to talk to a star you’ve admired for 30+ years on your 100th episode. I was absolutely beside myself. And, what a wonderful conversation we had! Tami is as equally driven as I am to spread the message of the importance of doing what you dream. In this podcast, we explore how the film for each of us (her as a participant and me as a spectator) has influenced our lives and encouraged us to do just that. She was absolutely delightful and just a pure joy to talk to. This podcast came about following an exchange she and I had on Twitter after I took my son to a special screening of The Neverending Story. It was a magical experience for me to see it on the big screen for the first time, to be able to pass on the hope of the film to my son, and to then have t

Hi, Curvists! I really need to update you all on what's going on! There was no episode last week. (Eek!!) Well, there was a reason for that named Hurricane Matthew. So, I wanted to share with you all what is going on and what is coming up, including a new direction I am taking the podcast in. So, I'm excited to get into it!! I am working to reschedule with Jared Easely, founder of the Podcast Movement annual conferences and something called the Podcast Cruise, which I have no idea what it is, but it sounds amazing, and I can't wait to talk to him. I know a lot of you were particularly excited for that episode. We were supposed to record just before his podcast MeetUp of the Podcast South Florida a couple of Saturdays ago on the 8th. But, the venue had to cancel the event, due to the hurricane. So, that of course meant my podcast with him that was supposed to happen right beforehand has to now be rescheduled. So, we are working that out. Local small biz and digital marketing powerhouse, Kate Volman was to be

Multiple award-winning street artist Jennifer Chaparro creates interactive 3D art on a spans of flat pavement, concrete, … you name it! And, her work, though physically temporary, will never leave the audience’s memory. Whether pretending to sit in a kayak about to go over a waterfall, or (as I did) practicing a balancing act on a giant crayon, I can personally testify that enjoying her interactive art is simply a joy that sticks with you. On this podcast, Jennifer explains the genius behind how she does it. Very cool!! Jen is a fun and extremely business-savvy woman, and in this episode tells her story of how she fell out of the corporate office and into the life of 3D street art—at first accidentally; then with all the drive and gusto of a determined business owner. And, through talent, passion, and drive, she is now following her dreams all over the world!

Former NWA World Tag Team Champion and WWF World Tag Team Champion, Glenn “Thrasher” Ruth of the Headbangers, sat down with me and Jay “Captain KVJ” Cintron to talk about his time in the ring and how he’s working to build up the local pro-wrestling scene here in south Florida!

Glenn’s accomplishments as a pro-wrestler and in the world of entertainment simply cannot be short-changed.

So, be sure to go out to an Enigma event and support his local effort to inspire the careers of others. Special thanks to Jay for making this episode happen and for co-hosting!!

I couldn’t have asked for a better person to spend a slice of my birthday podcasting with than the inspiring spiritual life coach and yoga instructor, Jennifer Martin. We met up following her yoga class at the Hilton West Palm Beach where she teaches on Saturdays, and had this very uplifting conversation. Not only is she super-charged for spreading her life’s message through yoga and public speaking, but she is also a beautiful writer who regularly shares her inspirational and motivational musings on Instragram. Hers is definitely an account you want to follow!!), but also pens articles with messages like this: “The best decision I’ve ever made was leaving my corporate job and opening my first yoga studio. I’ve made sacrifices, but I get intense joy from sharing my passion. I’m so grateful for all that I have, I aspire to make an even bigger impact. Be relentless in your life’s pursuit. It's a disservice to the world not to share your gifts.” Clearly, with a message like that being so aligned with the purpos

Claire Bronson is an actress who keeps popping up in my favorite shows, such as Resurrection (RIP), The Walking Dead, and Bloodline (which is filmed right in our own backyard of the Florida Keys), and I was so excited to talk to her for this episode!! A long-time performer,  Claire grew up with a strong inner pull toward acting, and she has followed it all the way to success. We talk about pursuing acting and landing roles, being on these amazing sets and working with such wonderful casts, and what she sees for her future. As the cofounder of her own acting studio, Drama Inc. in Atlanta, GA, Claire is equally focused on guiding others in what can be a very tricky and difficult field. In this conversation, she does not hold back in giving tips for others wanting to pursue their dreams—both specifically in acting and in whatever else one is passionate about. You’ll love her!!
