Episode Synopsis

Who you know is everything. You have heard that, we believe it, and yet so many of us don’t take the time to really invest in relationships. Building genuine connections is Christopher McDonald’s specialty. On paper he is what they call, in the entertainment space, a “talent booker” but between you and me…he is simply a BOSS at loving people and bridging relationships.At an early age, he knew he had a gift with people and figured out a way to make a living building relationships. Now as a talent booker for Impact Theory, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and leveraging a bunch of other side hustles where relationships are at the heart, Christopher generously shares his journey with us and his philosophy around building a career in a creative industry by keeping people at the center.In this conversation you will hear about “finding the void” so you can “break into” your industry, how his career improved after the “magical year of no”, and the two lessons his mom gave him before she passed that shaped his career and approach to life moving forward.Access Show Notes Here: https://www.heatherparady.com/blog/064ASK A QUESTION: www.heatherparady.com/askTOPICS FROM THIS EPISODE:How saying “no” improved his career and created MORE opportunities for himFiguring out a way to turn soft skills into a marketable skillsetLeveraging relationships in the right way, and keeping people at the centerCONNECT WITH US!Youtube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/heatherparadyFollow Heather on IG:https://www.instagram.com/heatherparady/Follow Heather on Twitter: https://twitter.com/heatherparadyFollow Heather on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@heatherparady?Music Cred: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCISCA3u0nQ-Cxk-hI07g78A
