The Secrets of Success

https://feed.podbean.com/lovelivemusic/feed.xml

Welcome to the Love Live Music Secrets of Success Podcast. If you are interested in being successful in your music industry career, you have come to the right place! In this Podcast we will be chatting with the super successful people who make the music industry tick. We will be picking their brains, extracting their secrets for success and listening to their reflections on their careers. My name is Sally Jackson Freeman and I have been working in the music industry since the 80’s. I started out as a runner in my Dad’s recording studio working with such iconic bands as Motorhead and have just completed a 10 year stint at Glastonbury in the Dance Field working with artists such as Stormzy and Fatboy Slim. In recent years I have lecturing on a masters course at Tileyard Studios, BIMM and had the privilege to mentor the next generation of music industry professionals around the world. Over the past 30 plus years in the music business I have pretty much seen and heard it all, the good, the bad and the ugly…. The one thing I know beyond doubt, is that behind every superstar, is a huge team of highly successful and talented individuals who help the artists realise and monetise their talent. I am interested in what makes these people successful and the journey’s they have been on to achieve their success. This podcast is dedicated to finding out what makes these people so successful and sharing their insider knowledge and tips with you. For my first season, I will be chatting with 10 people that I have worked who I know are at the top of their game. I would love to know your thoughts, if you found this helpful and your secrets of success. You can find me on Twitter - @lovelivemusicuk, Instagram - @lovelivemusicuk Facebook.com/LoveLiveMusicUK.

S2 Ep2 Secrets of Success "OnTour" with Mental Health specialist Ellie Talebian

Monday May 17, 2021

Season 2: Ellie Talebian - Mental Health Specialist, Brighton

Welcome to the Secrets of Success on Tour this week from Brighton with Ellie Talebian. This week we are with Mental Health thought leader Ellie. Celebrating mental health week, it is a total pleasure to have Ellie as our guest. Ellie will share her experiences from the past year and her top tips for coming out of lockdown.

We were going to record outside but the weather was challenging, so my car became the studio. Listen out for sea-gulls, torrential rain, brighton buses and stories of struggle, perseverance and success!

We sound very giddy and excited, we were, after months of not seeing anyone, it was great to catch up and chat about life, all things success and lessons learnt.

Ellie’s Bio: Ellie has been described as the “Annie Mac” of Brighton. She has a portfolio of jobs including radio broadcaster for Gaydio, Mental health Consultant, Producer at Eclectic Toolbox and Communications Manger for My Time Young Carers.

She describes herself as a “Jack of all trades, Master of Love”

Reflecting on this portfolio type of work she reflects “If I want to eat all the cake I am going to!” The best entrepreneurs have multi skills.

Ellie's Advice: Keep learning your whole life.

‘If you lie down with Dogs, you wake up with fleas!” ask questions about who you work with. What is their reputation? Follow your gut, if you run with bad people, their reputation can rub off on you. We need to get better at listening to our inner voice, we need to chose jobs and opportunities wisely.

Ellie’s Survival Guide: Lots of people feeling a bit anxious about coming out of lock down, what should we do? Keep doing all the things that keep you well.

Be selective in what you do – you don’t have to do anything.

Listen to yourself.

Practice GLAD with each other/friends/staff/teams.

G: What has made you Grateful?

L: What have you Learned?

A: What have you Accomplished?

D: What have you been delighted by?

Ellie’s Quotes: Bridget Jones – “I like you just as you are” – that’s the goal – find friends that accept you as you are.

“I am far from perfect but I am dedicated to trying my best….”

Ellie’s team choice: What are you looking like in team members joining your team? Have a genuine passion for work, be smiley, love what that you do.

Go above and beyond in your work.

Ellie’s Book Choice:

“Essentialism – the disciplined pursuit of less” by Greg McKeown.

A great book about saying no.

“Dare to lead…Bold Work. Tough Conversations. Whole Hearts."

by Brene Brown
