Jodi Krangle has been a voice actor since 2007 and has worked with clients from major brands all over the world in industries like health care, charities & non-profits, and the hospitality/travel market.

But it was quite a journey to get there – from selling computers in a time when not many women were doing that, to teaching herself about the Internet and the world it opened up. In 1995, she created an award-winning songwriting resource website called The Muse’s Muse and began a business of her own doing SEO and Internet marketing.

When she switched to voice overs, she was well-prepared for the new world of online promotions and getting her own work. She’s also a singer. In 2015, she put out her own album of jazz, blues and traditional tunes (jodikranglemusic.com).

Over the years, and doing what she does, she’s learned a lot about sound and how it influences people. She’s launched a new podcast called Audio Branding: The Hidden Gem of Marketing.

Bullet Points Of The Show:

– How can Audio Branding help your marketing on your expert website (courses, youtube channel, podcast, or the podcasts you have as a marketing strategy?

3:12 It is an extension of who you are, what your brand looks like, the colors you use, the logo you have, and the fonts, and the emotions that they are supposed to evoke in people, then follow that through with how you sound. It has to do with being more of who you are and getting people to that emotional shorthand of who you are really quickly.  That also has to do with consistency, so switching it up all the time can be very confusing for people. It is kind of like switching up your logo all the time, you don’t do that…  (and much more in the interview that you can enjoy).

– What makes sound such an effective marketing/advertising tool?

11:27 It’s a form of time travel, a really powerful way to bring us places and to make us think of places that we remember to have experienced. You want that nice little mix where it’s still you but it appeals to the audience that is your avatar. Your audience wants to feel like you are like them. I do interview a lot of people who have done audio branding for other clients (www.audiobrandingpodcast.com), so I know a few companies you could contact that are serious about that… (more in the interview)

– How can we use sound to improve our life, can sound actually heal?

15:37 It actually can, it is amazing how our capacity for that is, I actually just published an episode with a shaman called Kaye Doran… the interview covers authenticity in your business, you can be much more authentic when reaching people with sound than with any other medium … you can make a deeper connection with your customers, so think about your on-hold music, have it match your image, …

AND MUCH MORE…

Christopher Salem, CEO of CRS Group Holdings, LLC mentors and consults with entrepreneurs, business leaders, sales professionals, and companies to build and protect their brands by raising their level of influence as trusted advisors to maximize their results.  This starts from the inside out building your level of influence by shifting from a fixed to growth mindset and adopting a process to scale your business through raising your level of influence.  His program also helps companies to create an interdependent work environment and thriving culture through effective communication, transparent leadership, and higher engagement.

Chris is also an accomplished business & emotional intelligence strategist, corporate trainer, world-class speaker, award-winning author®, certified mindset expert, radio show host & media personality, and wellness advocate.  His book Master Your Inner Critic / Resolve the Root Cause – Create Prosperity addresses this and went international best seller in 2016.   He also co-authored the recent edition to “Mastering the Art of Success” with Jack Canfield.  His weekly radio show Sustainable Success is part of the Voice America Influencers Channel.

Bullet Points Of The Show:

– Question: how do you see self-doubt and limiting beliefs, what is their origin, and how to overcome them?

Limiting beliefs develop in our childhood, usually tied to parents or a parent. These limiting beliefs can affect us in a negative way as in lack of confidence or self-esteem, and when we see that we are not where we want to be in our personal life or business, many times these negative beliefs are holding us back. We are able to remove those beliefs when we become aware of the origin, develop awareness, and habits that help us to move in the right direction.

– Why do you think so many of us fail in mastering our inner critic so we can be and have what we really want in life?

Here Chris now explains exactly how he could successfully, with personal examples, move beyond living in the effects, beyond the root problem, into a successful and fulfilling life. There is great advice that anyone can use immediately, among other habits, meditation, and journaling. This helped him and many of the readers of his book, his clients, to remove limiting beliefs and step into the solutions that are within by mastering the inner critic. You will hear that he has been using the process for over 20 years and will discover how effective the steps can be, moving from inner critic to the inner champion.
