In light of a recent post on giving away ideas, this one is by far the most interesting concept God has given me to date. The music industry is all about money, right? Of course. This doesn't get difficult until someone genuinely wants to share Christ with the world, and could care less about the business side of the deal.
During the course of the last couple years, I've been moved by so many musicians. The gift they have is KNOWN by the people surrounding them. I believe its time for the world to see them. However, I want nothing to do with the current music industry. So, I set up this thing called the KNOWN tour - a collection of musicians, songwriters and technologists all on the same page - we love music, deplore the industry. Concerts are in open forums (parks and the like) media is produced live with mobile technology and each person is sponsored by a business, all kinds - local, regional or national. For instance: artists able to travel nationally will have a national business. The business brands along side us, and the musician is to hired on as a staff member, building the company internal "brand ambassador team". Everyone gets paid, benefits, and all the perks of working with a company - only doing what they love and what will bring the company recognition. It's absolutely brilliant. God is so smart.
Purpose Media International (PMI) is the non-profit doing all of the pairing up (musicians with the businesses). Also they're creating all the partnerships with local coffee shops, parks, colleges and outside ARCA & NASACAR for the national tours. PMI is also partnering with several distribution channels (web, radio, TV, print) that will serve the live-streaming & post produced content and live-music tapings to the world - eliminating the need for a "label" - sorry guys.
So, if you're a musician business or entrepreneur with a heart for music, just not the industry - join webpress media's cause and help spread the message.

How to Stimulate the Economy
Live Onsite Interviews: Save Time = Save Money = Stimulate Economy
Now, what will work is this (here's another idea for someone): Live on-site interviewing using ustream.tv, sent to client companies the recruiter sees as a fit. It will save time, energy and get past the worthless stages of the hiring process: "job post-wait- job reply wait- send resume -wait some more - phone interview - wait even more - set up a face to face - wait forever - 1st face to face.
People are "judged" on their physical reactions the questions, rarely do the words have anything to do with it...it's body language, eye contact, etc. Now, very experienced phone interviewers can pick up these traits by using highly trained "listeners".. from the creak in the chair to the hesitation in the answer to a question.
That's an interview "dialogue". There are solutions - now, today that helps everyone get paid quicker and the answer to stimulating the economy. The downturn will turn up by simplifying the interview/hiring process!!
This is especially true for any baby-boomer interested in easily entering the new media mecca. The web needs their perspective, wisdom and guidance when it comes to anything but marketing, personal branding, advertising.

The Ability to Encourage
Someone encouraged a writer today. The result is this post.
"If you have the ability to see the good in people, you have a gift and we need more of you. The next step is telling them, or perhaps others around a situation that includes someone having made mistakes. I've been pushed out of many conversations by shifting the responsibility away from the person and back to the action. Right or wrong, we, as people are made to mess up. In hard times, will you be able to depend on your employer, sponsor, family, friends, etc. to support you when it happens? Say that you don't mess up, say you decide to embark on a new adventure? Or a career diversion? Or Downsize --AHH RUN!!! Downsize? "Who does that unless they're struggling?" they smirk. What happened to you being you and doing what you want, when you want and those around you supporting the effort? Especially your employer. The one that could save the other people surrounded by you a lot of heartache. Follow me, I'm going somewhere.
People change, drastically - most times. A Divorce, A Child, A Death, A Natural Disaster -- these life events move people to re-evaluate their life and the importance of their use of time - in our culture and mechanical model of business, these are "catastrophe's". No, they're not. They're a normal part of life in most cases.
Let's say that a companies inability to move and change with a persons growth contributes to divorce rates? We know it does. Money is the #1 reason people divorce. Look further, why? Uncertainty, doubt, fear, insecurity. These feelings contribute to the demise of an individual. Once this takes place (unless the marriage is fundamentally build on true love and sacrifice) one part of the unit begins to decompose, relying on the energy from the other to support its steady decline. The other gets drained, too and unable to fight off the feelings - they both begin to seek other forms of temporal satisfaction. Why do you think the entertainment industry flourishes in crisis? It's not bad or good, but it happens.
The answer? Many things, a sound foundation, seated in the Truth of Jesus Christ (my Rock) and being surrounded by an environment of people committed to helping one another grow personally and professionally. The two are synonymous. There is no such thing as "my professional life"... why separate? Who started that?
I think I'll go work at a bar. I don't drink and would rather read a book than go out.... but those people are suffering, they'll pay be big tips because of my looks and I can be a light to them and the people working there - maybe that's my place? I don't really fit in anywhere else in corporate america - they just use me and when I buck the system, it doesn't suit their fancy. A bar is about as organic as you can get, meeting people in their lowest state - knowing they have potential to be so much more - all kinds, all types and what a great place to understand people....they talk and are honest when they have a few. .. I think I'm liking this idea more and more.
I mean, if we embraced the ugly reality of pain, and encouraged people through it - instead of flicking them away, we could begin to see some significant progress in society. But, it takes someone actually doing it, instead of writing about it to make it happen. "
