The Love Circus with Mike Brady

A longtime songwriter, musician, broadcaster, artist, and content creator, I spent the first part of my adult life working in corporate America. Along the way I failed 3 separate times as an entrepreneur. At 43 with a failed business, struggling with my physical and mental health and pretty much everything else I decided focus on things that feed my soul, keep me at peace, and bring me joy. The podcast was created to inspire, educate, and entertain anyone who listens. It's Inspiring insights into my 2nd act- music, health, family, social media, God and a lot more. Spread Love, Mike

Brands- If You Don't Have a YouTube Channel in 2023, You Should! (What I learned from my 90 day social platform tests that compared YouTube to TikTok and Instagram).

My 90 day challenge failed but all was not lost. I gained valuable insight having run the experiment for just 30 days! How it started: What better way to test theories, learn, have data that helps my clients and potential clients, and also build my personal brand that helps me towards my career goals of becoming a paid songwriter, right? How it Ended: What started as an attempt to grow a personal brand on 3 different platforms at once in order to research and run tests for myself and clients, tu...

The 4 Essentials to Starting Your Journey as a Songwriter

ABOUT THIS EPISODE- Sure, there are a few tools and resources that I use that are also critical (and interchangeable) that I will go over at the end of the podcast such as instruments, writing aids, etc. but this is more about the internal non-negotiables it takes to write songs. Without: 1. Personal Inspiration 2. Musical Inspiration 3. The Right Mindset 4. Dedicated and Focused Time I believe you are dead in the water. I will make my case and elaborate on each of these in this podcast episode....

I'm a 45 year old 3x FAILED Entrepreneur, NOW WHAT? If you are someone who feels like they have never lived their true calling, what they were meant to do in life, hopefully my story will inspire!

2023 is mine! And it's starts with my challenge I created called the "Focused Creator" 90 Day Challenge. Challenges are great, but when they fail to incorporate daily tasks that help you towards achieving your goals, you can get lost in the cycle of never having enough time to devote to your challenge, your goals, and your family. That is why I created this challenge! What better way to improve at all the tasks that will help me live out my purpose than to incorporate them in the challenge! In t...

The History of Paso Robles PT.1 (as told by me)

Robb McClune, The Gypsy Nurse

Talking COVID, motorcycles, cars, and board games with traveling nurse Robb McClune. Meeting people like Robb makes me realize, if we don’t put ourselves out there, we deprive our life of the most enriching part- relationships and connecting with others that we would otherwise never cross paths with. Robb is a kind and selfless person who spends his work days wiping asses, keeping patients comfortable, and unfortunately dealing with loss of life, regularly. Robb’s got great insight into COVID-19...

Trailer (Episode 1)

Episode 1- The best way to describle my vision for the show is if Mike Rowe, Joe Rogan, and Jimmy Fallon had an ugly baby from the North County (SLO).

I'm told that is a compliment. ABOUT THIS EPISODE: I wanted to get it out today, even if it meant doing so without a formal name yet. Audio only version will not...
