Amara Projansky is our first guest today! She is a Hudson Valley native, and also the Founder and CEO of Luminary Media, the publisher of Chronogram, Upstate House, Upstater, Explore the Hudson Valley and now The River. She dives deep into her childhood growing up in New Paltz with a single dad, being the oldest of 3 sisters, her relationship with her family and how it influenced her life today. She was always interested reading, writing and art, and did her own “self-guided home schooling” as she calls it at the age of 16, and was encouraged by her mother’s husband to focus on her art and painting. Now 25 years later she reflects on the challenges and adjustments that have been made to keep growing the magazine and publishing company. How does she take care of herself as a mother and a CEO? As a lifelong meditator she continues to explore ways to create peace and balance within and has been practicing Continuum which we’re curious to check out!
Our second guest today is Leigh Henrich. She works in music licensing and just recently started her own company Sweets and Pop Music !!! She has over 10 years in the music industry, but synch representation for indie artists is really where her heart is. She shares about growing up in a small town and heading out to the city, interning for companies like Nasty Little Man and Matador . She moved around a lot in the industry, she always knew she would do something in music, she was figuring out what resonated for her! She had great mentors and shares some secrets about her learning experiences I’m including a recent interview by Synchtank as well, definitely worth checking out… You will see how knowledgeable she is and determined and also personable and kind. Definitely an asset to the music industry!
*correction in the interview, Leigh Henrich wanted me to let you know she misspoke and said Nasty Girl but she meant to say Nasty Little Man.
Self care this week is: listening to Christmas Carols, setting boundaries to focus on personal priorities, and reaching out to friends to spend some much needed time.
Today’s show was engineered by Manuel Blas of Radio Kingston, www.radiokingston.org.
