MDMC Entertainment Presents, Business Building and Beyond

Season 4 of Business Building and Beyond is Back!!! I'm recording the show from the official MDMC Headquarters. In this season's opener we're diving into a difficult topic, change in leadership! Getting letting go a la James Gunn style sucks. Often times there is no way to save your job. In my case, no matter how many millions I helped generate, it wasn't enough to save me from the snap. So I dive into my personal experiences in this episode!

As we close out 2022 it's time to hire new talent to the team. Now I have had my fair share of hires and fires so hopefully, my experiences help you in your hiring process.

Welcome back to Business Building and Beyond today we are diving into how to use analytics and data to grow your business. I use my Google Analytics as an example of how to build a marketing strategy based on the data given. You don't want to miss this episode.

Welcome to another episode of Business Building and Beyond today we are tackling relevance. This episode went sideways on me and I reveal why I want to disappear from social media altogether. I got a little emotional here but there are some good nuggets of knowledge here. Enjoy!

Growing your email list isn't too hard, especially if you use some of the hacks i'm about to list! Join me from Episode 8 of Business Building and Beyond!

Making life easier in the marketing realm is important. I'm going into something I haven't dived into yet and that is Marketing Automations!

Websites are keys to businesses so keeping them updated and redesigned is key. I go through our own website and why the elements are important to any business. 

The dreaded Instagram algorithm has changed again. Instagram updates you need to know and creating the Reels your account needs!

We have so much going on at MDMC Entertainment, we're doing an update episode so you guys can keep up on all the news and events hitting our way!

I wrote a blog about this... but now I want to speak on it. Let's all chat about  Why People You Know Won't Support You As An Entrepreneur...  You can read my original rant here: https://www.mdmcentertainment.com/blog/why-people-you-know-wont-support-you-as-an-entrepreneur

I talk to a lot of people and everyone asks the same question... how did you do it? I'm fortunate these days to not be tied to a 9-5 job and to own my own business, making my own hours, travel when I want and work with companies and brands I want to work with, not forced to work with. Literally this is my dream. So how did I do it? There was a lot of preparation that led me to the day I decided not to get back on the job hunt after the last job I had didn't pan out. I'm breaking it all down and giving you the guide on how to prepare and take the leap.

This week on Business Building and Beyond we have a special guest. Now you might know him as a super hero but my next guest has been a successful entrepreneur for years, now he's gonna tell us how he got there. Everything from his road to success to the most important element... Mindset! I'm so excited to welcome Official Roger Velasco Fanpage to my show. He's been a client of ours for a long time now and we're so excited to showcase he's entrepreneurial side!   #MDMCEntertainment #BusinessBuildingandBeyond #RogerVelasco #Entrepreneur #OneonOne

Hey Everyone! It's that time again, for another episode of Business Building and Beyond. This week i'm tackling another thing I keep seeing popping up in the SoCal area and in the marketing realm all together, agencies who are not true to what they really are. Lots of business owners jump into business with the wrong types of help and here is how you determine what agencies work best for you. You don't want to miss this episode!⠀

I keep seeing this over and over, people over promising on social media services. The truth is, there is a lot of work and strategy that goes into making people like your content. Time, content creation, strategy, scheduling and so much more. Lets break it all down in this week's episode of Business Building and Beyond.

Hey Everyone, welcome back to a new week where Business Building and Beyond is going LIVE! That's right I have to take time out to sit down to tell you something I truly encountered at the start of the year. I had a business owner shun me due to my personal social media numbers... YUP It happens.. People close in my circle have heard the story and now, it's going to be a cautionary tale to those business owners who think their customers should have a specific number of followers before entering their doors... it's the number one way to kill your business as a whole!  Tune in for this tea sipping episode because i'm releasing receipts!

If you are business owner.. you know that the job is so hard managing your day to day operations, sales, product and marketing... Literally its a 60 hour a week job plus. I'm here to drop some facts and some spoilers... you can't do this job alone. Let me say it louder for the people in the back YOU CAN'T DO THIS ALONE! There I said it. I know there are people out there who have no experience helping businesses grow to the multi-million dollar level will make you a fancy list on why and how you can do this alone and be successful but to be blunt... do you want to keep making pennies...or do you want to make millions?

Today we have a fantastic interview lined up. I'm sitting down with actor Arthur Ranford! Arthur is best known for his rendition of the Purple Dino Charge Ranger! He was such a delight to talk to you don't want to miss this interview!

Some fan girling did happen because our next guest voices the Power Rangers, Ninja Steel's villain Spinferno and he even graced the screen in one of our favorite shows, Spartacus Greg Ward. Not only is Greg an amazing actor he is also a motivational speaker and he gave us some amazing words of encouragement!    You can find Greg here:  Website: https://www.gregwardspeaker.com/?fbcl...​ Twitter: https://twitter.com/gregwardmc​ Instagram: @gregwardcreative  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregwardmc/​  We hope you enjoy this awesome episode!  #MDMCEntertainment​ #PowerRangers​ #GregWard​ #Spartacus​ #BusinessBuildingandBeyond
