In today's episode I got to interview one of my mentors Tricia Brouk all the way from New York City. Tricia is an award winning director who works in theater, film and television. In addition to working in the entertainment industry, she has expanded her expertise to the art of public speaking; where she is a TEDx producer and executive producer of Speakers Who dare. Recently Tricia has been awarded the "Top Director of 2019" by the International Association of Top Professionals. Her documentary Right Livelihood A Journey to Here about the Buddhist Chaplain at Riker’s Island won Best Documentary Short at The Olympus Film Festival. Not only that, her You’re Gorgeous, I Love Your Shirt, An Inside Look at Bullying and Mental Health also won her the Award of Merit at the Awareness Festival. With all her experiences and expertise, I knew that Tricia is the best person for me to interview and talk to about what best practices business owners who are taking their business online can adopt in communicating their products/services during this time. Tricia shared so many nuggets of wisdoms in this interview and one of my favourites that I fully resonate with is where she emphasized on NOT engaging with negativity on social media to maintain high frequency energies to counter the low underlying ones that are currently circulating. All I can say is you just need to listen to this interview and then share it with your friends, family and colleagues so that they too can benefit from it.
