“That's taxpayer’s money that is going to support research and development and pilot projects to develop a food system that is based on environmental destruction and greed and disregard for animals, fish, and any of the other marine mammals that might be around it.” - Andrianna Natsoulas Andrianna Natsoulas is the campaign director for Don't Cage Our Oceans, an organization that exists to keep our oceans free from industrial fish farms. Offshore finfish farming is the mass cultivation of finfish in marine waters, in underwater or floating net pens, pods, and cages. Offshore finfish farms are factory farms that harm public health, the environment, and local communities and economies that rely on the ocean and its resources. Don’t Cage Our Oceans are a coalition of diverse organizations working together to stop the development of offshore finfish farming in the United States through federal law, policies, and coalition building. And, although it is not yet happening, right now the US Administration and Congress are promoting this kind of farming, which would be nothing short of disastrous for the oceans, the planet and the people and animals who live here. dontcageouroceans.org…

On this episode of the CIAS podcast I sit with Suzy and we discuss the hacks and scams that are affecting so many of us.
My Facebook was almost lost to a very sophisticated hack last week. We were able to get it back but we are still uneasy and taking steps now to be more prepared going forward.
On the show we talk about:
*Our hack and how we were able to resolve it
*Different types of hacks and scams
*Focusing your content/artistry on more than one platform
*Your mailing list is your MOST important asset
*How to protect your platforms
*Organic growth is always better than "pay to play"
and SO much more!
We hope this episode and our experience will help you on your journey, and give you some guidance on how to avoid getting hacked. Would love to hear from you in the comments below!

Natural State: From Church Roots to Nashville Dreams 53:58

منذ 30 weeks53:58

53:58

🎙️ CIAS Podcast Episode #104 In this episode, we’re chatting with the amazing folks from Natural State Music. Haley, Del and Matt share their wild ride in the Christian music world. They all started out in church, passionate about using their talents to worship God. Haley had a tough break after a big label showcase didn’t go as planned and thought she was done with music. But God had other plans. He opened a door for her to lead worship back in her hometown, and her love for music was reignited. After not writing for 8 years, Haley wrote a worship song with Dell at their church in Chattanooga. Writing worship music was a totally different and refreshing experience for Haley, that connected her with God in a fresh and inspired way. The name “Natural State” comes from Arkansas’ slogan, symbolizing that our natural state is to know, worship, and love God, and to use our gifts to serve others. In 2022, they felt God calling them to Nashville, so they made the move, and it was clear God was leading the way. Once in Nashville, they got down to writing the best songs they could. They recently hit 10K followers on Instagram and are super grateful for how their posts are impacting people. They treat their music like a business, not just a hobby. By creating content and engaging with their audience, they’re figuring out which songs resonate most, as they prepare for their next album. Natural State journey is all about leaning into the work and embracing the unexpected. They remind us that we don’t have to rely on others to reach where God wants us to go. As long as we stay close to Him and His calling, He empowers us to live out His plan. Don’t miss this inspiring episode packed with great insights and encouragement for anyone in the music ministry!

Raw Talent is NOT Enough 50:46

منذ 2 years50:46

50:46

On this episode of the CIAS Podcast Ross King and I talk about the 4th ingredient in his formula for music industry success- raw talent. Ross says that we are not able to do anything about the amount of raw talent we are given, however we can lean on the other ingredients (work ethic, suck meter, and how are you in a room) to cultivate the raw talent we have. The bad news is that we can’t do anything to gain more “raw talent” but the great news is that raw talent is not enough on its own to make a real impact in music. This means, within reason, no matter the amount of talent you start with, you can continue to work and develop yourself to do great things in music.

On this episode of the CIAS podcast Ross King and I talk about the work ethic it takes to go pro. You might be thinking we talk about things like working 100 hour weeks and do whatever you need to to make it happen, but we don’t! We wanted to give you a practical look at how we manage and schedule our time as a professional in the music industry.
