#37 Your Sphere of Influence with Photographer/Videographer/Mermaid Jenn Reid

Your Creative Sparks:

• A change agent must be VISIBLE - YOUR STORY must be TOLD. If not, there is a whole world that is not being served.
• Discrimination and the “don’t rock the boat” syndrome. The boat is broken, people!
• We can do as much for the WOMEN’S MOVEMENT by raising empowered, aware men.

In Washington DC, Mermaid slaps her tail on the water. Magnificent ripples travel out into the ether, and all of the fish feel her power moving. Your friendly neighborhood Lobsterbird joins forces with Jenn Reid in an epic journey to dismantle the patriarchal world of audio/visual and revolutionize reality TV. With great power comes great responsibility. We must all face great challenges in order to get to the moment of magic.  Join the casting call, and prepare to make your move - and move this planet. Leave us a Rating & Review!

Your Travelogue

• Lobsterbird first met Jenn Reid at the Author’s Castle. Jenn was responsible for photographing the red carpet launch for the latest crop of bestselling books, taking headshots of the new authors, providing promotional images to support their marketing efforts, and capturing the magic of the launch day. [1:52]
• MicroLesson One: Everyone tries to talk themselves out of their true calling. Jenn’s tenacity scores an opportunity to work with Lobsterbird on location in Tulum, Mexico. [5:30]
• Jenn became an Audio/Visual technician in the late 90s - twenty years ago, before the birth of the internet. There were no cell phones. She worked with real film. She was good with technology. She likes to “master the machines.” Here she was in a man’s world. But she was determined to find her place in it. [10:10]
• MicroLesson Two: Everything we’ve done leads up to what we were meant to do. Jenn was the first female A/V technician for a “major organization”. What looked like a prestigious appointment to the outside world exposed her to a hidden world of rampant, overt discrimination and corruption in the realm of power and authority and status. [18:22]
• I was treated in a way that they didn’t treat the men. Very inappropriate things were said and done to me. There was no hashtag for this, no #metoo movement. Jenn was a forerunner. She wanted to be bigger than that. “I told myself, ‘This is how it is, Jenn. If you want to be here, you just have to deal with it.’” But she started to buckle under the pressure. [23:26]
• She reached her breaking point, but she met her husband there. And she decided to devote herself to creating a loving family environment instead. MicroLesson Three: The divine feminine is the energy of creation and nurturing. [28:49]
• Teaser alert: What question did Jenn’s oldest son ask that finally blew her out of the water? MicroLesson Four: We can overcompensate from one side to the other and get out of balance. [34:24]
• Events were calling her, and Jenn said Yes. An event has an energy. It has movement. It is fluid and dynamic, and Jenn can dance with it and capture it exquisitely. [39:00]
• MicroLesson Five: Everything comes back around when you surrender. Lobsterbird and Jenn are now collaborating to accomplish a bigger purpose - to redefine Reality TV. “We want to document the transformation that takes place on pilgrimage, and we want to showcase the women who are emerging as the new spiritual leaders.” MicroLesson Six: Stop doubting your power, potential and purpose! [42:45]
• They will be recording and producing the pilot during the upcoming November pilgrimage in Bali! The Casting Call is NOW until 10/20/18.
