We all have a unique story -- a story that is made up of our life experiences, the moments that have shaped us, and the decisions we have made. Telling your story is one of the most effective ways to authentically connect with an audience.

In this episode, I offer various questions to spark your memory of key moments in your life. Our story is full of the joys and successes of our lives, but also the failures, mistakes, and pain. It is a story that is both powerful and vulnerable. 

It also gives your audience an insight into the real you, helping them to understand the values and beliefs that are important to you. Including why you do what you do.

Think about your favourite artists of all time. The ones that inspire you deep in your soul and maybe even motivated you to become an artist yourself. Why do you love them?

You most likely appreciate them for more than their talent. It may be their personality, fashion sense, work ethic, values, or beliefs. When they share their vulnerability, struggles and triumphs you may see yourself in those stories.

The most successful artists don’t stress about competition because there is no competition. No one else possesses their exact combination of skills, experience and personality. The same can be said for you, however, most of us don’t take the time to explore and embrace who we really are and figure out what makes us unique.

During my sixteen years in arts and entertainment publicity, the media evolved significantly. An artist with a new project is no longer enough to garner press coverage. I began to witness too many artists and creatives wasting money on PR, radio and social media marketing campaigns before they were ready.

Artists didn't take the time to do the deep inner work of personal branding so the lack of results left them frustrated and defeated.

Personal branding is the key to success, and I realized that I could have a greater impact coaching artists through the process. I created the Superfan Attraction Method and the first stage is authentic personal branding. In this episode I will review the various steps to cultivate yours.

Artists and creatives have the power to heal, transform and elevate lives. But too often, fear or a lack of knowledge holds us back from living our true purpose.

As a personal branding and PR coach, I am going to be sharing strategies from my Superfan Attraction Method via the podcast, youtube, blog and social media.

My mission to educate, motivate and empower you to embrace your story and purpose so that you can make your impact on the world.

This show is me stepping into my purpose. Arts and entertainment has healed, transformed and elevated my life. My journey through photography, make up artistry, fashion, journalism, publicity and now coaching has all been to help artists and creatives succeed.

In my 16 years as an arts and entertainment publicist, I was thrilled to represent talent such as Jane’s Addiction’s Perry Farrell, Big Sugar, Punk legends D.O.A., Canada’s Queen of Rock Sass Jordan, South Africa’s biggest selling rock bands The Parlotones, Mackenzie Phillips, Trailer Park Boys Robb Wells, The Walking Dead’s Alanna Masterson and Pretty Little Liars Tyler Blackburn.

I really had the time of my life, however, my main focus was helping up and coming artists get known. PR and marketing strategies have evolved significantly. Today, you can no longer rely solely on your creative talents to have a thriving career.

Sadly, I've seen too many creatives wasting money on PR, radio, and social media campaigns without taking the time to do the necessary inner work of personal branding. The lack of results left them feeling frustrated and defeated.

But here's the truth: media attention alone won't attract superfans. It's first and foremost about finding and embracing your story and purpose, and then having the confidence to share it with your audience.

My Superfan Attraction Method takes you on a journey through personal branding, purpose driven content and media spotlight. Solo episodes will cover all the topics that fall under those categories so that you can take what you learn and apply it to your own career.

I have also created a FREE mini course to go with the Superfan Attraction Playbook. The training will guide you through the method, but it will also get you taking action. You will get to experience a taste of what I coach my clients on with 4 key lessons.

1. You will explore every area of your life to design your ideal future vision to get clear on what you are working towards.
2. You will identify your core values and limiting beliefs so that you are aware of what matters most to you and what may be holding you back
3. Sharing your story is what really attracts superfans so I will get you started with your story timeline.
4. Who are your potential superfans? In order to attract them you first have to identify who they are so there is an exercise to help you do that.

This training is completely free and you can sign up at dianefoy.com/freebie

Brian Patacca helps creatives get what they want without suffering. 20,000 creative people get Brian’s newsletter delivered to their inboxes every single  week – and when they’re not reading along, they’re listening to his podcast, Brian Breaks Character. The podcast ranks among the top 1% of most listened to podcasts in  the world with 5,000 downloads every month and 270+ 5-star reviews. 

Brian is the CEO of Team BKP and for the past two decades he’s been helping  creatives get what they want without all the suffering. His sweet spot is  helping people who proudly walk the path LEAST taken with down-&-dirty  marketing and branding advice, all while spilling the tea on how to bring  home the bacon (or seitan… He does live in LA after all). 

But his secret superpower is his spiritual and grounding approach to the bizniz rooted in his training as a non-denominational reverend (read:  Universe, God, Buddha, et al). He proves that when you follow your purpose instead of playing by a tired set of industry rules (read: limiting  beliefs), you can skip the drama, generate momentum, and build  excitement around who you are and what you love to do the most-est. 

Not only does he promise the how-to’s, he has zero doubt that creativity is your divine birthright.
