This Is Your Show!!

Well folks!!  That wraps up season one of This Is Your Show!!!  I cannot thank you enough for your ongoing support and for your feedback while I tried something completely new and out of my element!!  I will take this down time as a means to revamp the show and my processes and I look forward to releasing to the world a totally new This Is Your Show!!!!

Please go to www.tylerfriedelproductions.com and sign up for my mailing list.  I will be letting everyone on the list know of my upcoming ventures.

I want to thank you again for your never ending support and making these last few months a joy and a pleasure to serve you and provide you with space to tell your story.

My name is Tyler friedel!  You are LISTENING to This Is Your Show, and I will SEE you next season!!

Desiree Wile is on a mission.  One quite unlike any mission any parent or person would be excited to embark on, yet, she still presses onward in hopes to reach those in need of help.

A year ago, Desiree lost something very special to her.  As she puts it, “A beautiful light in this life.”  I am talking about her son Jayden.  A young man with a charismatic personality who was adored by many.  Sadly Jayden succumbed to the effects of cyberbullying and his young, promising and beautiful life was tragically cut short leaving many in the wake of the ripple effect of such an event.

Desiree is here today to tell #JaydenStory and to encourage us all to embody the message behind hers and her family’s sogan, “Stand up. Speak out. Be kind.”

Stefanos Efthimiou and I met in the 6 Figure Songwriting cohort but that is not why we are speaking today.

He contacted me initially to talk about his amazing talents as a composer and a producer but after he watched the documentary on Netflix, The Social Dilemma, he implored me to watch it so we could discuss it on the show.

Stefanos and I were both impacted by the information in this documentary!  If you have not seen it yet, especially if you have younger children who are using social media platforms regularly, I strongly recommend you give it a look.

Here is my conversation with Stefanos.

Jessie Smith is full of motivation!!  Her bright personality accompanied by her joyous outlook on life spills into your cup and makes you feel happy and warm inside!!

When she isn’t motivating females to empower themselves, she is encouraging women who love music to follow their passions and to do it from home!!

She is also a dating coach!!

There are many levels to this amazing human being and I am glad to have gotten to interact with her on the show.

Here is our conversation.

Brian Skeel!!

The Man of Skeel!!

Who has the Skeel appeal!!

Okay that’s enough!!  But seriously this guy seems to do a bit of it all and needs his own superhero theme song!!

He is a music producer and composer and also a mentor!

He speaks from the heart and knows how to inspire you to be the best at what you do!!

I had such an amazing time getting to know him more after our 6 month cohort ended with 6 Figure Songwriting.

I was blown away only a few minutes ago when I saw his Instagram post revealing he is working on music for a brand new video game!!!  I cannot wait to see what that ends up being!!  I have set forth my intentions and have asked the universe to provide me the opportunity to work with Brian in the very near future!

Here is our chat!

Welcome to the second half of my very intimate conversation with Jeff Herge.

As you learned in the first episode, Jeff worked for the Department of Defense and was inside the Pentagon the morning of September 11th, 2001.

His recount of that day takes a lot of courage and has been very inspiring to many of my listeners.

If there is anyone in the world who is hearing Ian, Charisse and Jeff’s stories and has their own story to tell about that day, please reach out to me at [email protected].  If I can provide you a space to tell your story I would be honored in doing so.

Lin Gysen is a beautiful soul!!!  I came to know her during the 6 Figure Songwriting cohort and she helped many of us learn the basic understanding of the sound frequency spectrum and how to set up our studios so we could learn to produce music from home.

She even pointed me in the direction of using Zoom for my podcast because it provides much better audio.  Was she ever right!!!

She provided me with a sample of a song she recorded in Laos while attending her first live concert!!  That is what you are hearing in the background right now and it gives you a bit of insight into the story you are about to hear.  Being an audio expert, she is fully aware of the quality of the recording but it provides a contrast to her outstanding work!!

She has started The Virtual School of Sound to help up and coming producers better understand the science behind sound so that they are fully prepared to make the best sounding music possible!!!

Lin has traveled the world and has not only seen some really cool stuff, but she has heard even cooler things!!  Stuff I only hope to be able to hear and see one day!!  Including recording audio from the jungle waking up first thing in the morning which you're going to hear at the very end of this episode!

Jeff Herge is heroic!  And I may not be referring to the type of heroism where someone goes running into gunfire or towards danger on purpose, but he is someone who, in the time of dire need, can put his own fears and anxieties aside to do what is asked of him for the sake of his country.  He is also humble.  Which means he, in his own words, would say that he is a regular guy just doing his job.

In other words, a true patriot!

The story you are about to hear is his account of the events that took place while he was at work at the Pentagon on the morning of September 11th, 2001.

I have broken this story up into two parts as it is graciously detailed and at times even became a bit much for Jeff.

There are many levels to the aftermath of 9/11 as it affected all of us in many different ways.  I know people in Canada who feared for their lives as it was close enough to home for us!!

In my last 2 interviews with Ian and Charisse, it pained me not being able to put myself in their shoes to sympathize with them on a deeper level.  However, allowing them the space to talk about their experience with 9/11 brought Jeff to me, willing to provide his story.

If you or anyone you know suffers from PTSD and have not found a means to manage it, please contact your local mental health center and speak to a professional.  As you will learn in these 2 episodes, talking about your trauma is a good place to start healing from it.

Latrissa Thomas and I have quite a bit in common!!  From script writing to movies and 3D animation, a lot of our creativity seems to be cut from the same cloth!!  I had such a wonderful time getting to know who she is as a person and as a creator!   I want to take a second to give a shout out to Cathy Heller and everyone at Catch the Moon Music!!!  They are about to embark on another 5 day songwriting challenge and I am so excited to see all of the new faces that will be there to learn what every single person who has been on this podcast, including Latrissa, learned over the course of the last couple of years collectively!!  For anyone on the fence about joining, you literally have nothing to lose and EVERYTHING to gain!!! I for one am glad that I made the decision to join!! Without it I would never have this podcast and I would've NEVER met people as amazing as Latrissa!! Please enjoy my conversation with her!! She is one of my many new friends that I have made thanks to the 6 Figure Songwriting cohort!!

Charisse gives us her account of the day that changed all of our lives. She shares about her trip into New York on a train that morning and witnessing something that would forever change the course of the world.
