My Chat with Scott Ginsberg, The Nametag Guy
https://letstalkartwithbrooke.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/scott-ginsberg-51422-4.46-PM.mp3

Episode 215: Today I talk with Author, Speaker, strategist, inventor, singer/songwriter & movie maker, Scott Ginsberg. Scott is known as “The Nametag Guy” because he wears a nametag 24/7.

I’m still on my quest for the “Entrepreneurial Mindset,” and he shares some great insights about success, marketing, and thinking.

I was pleased to find out he actually created a whole toolkit for inspiration emergencies, Prolific is sure to get you out of your creative doldrums.

Tunnel of Love is presented as a serialized, episodic documentary. The movie’s centerpiece is a live concert, so he released each song as a stand alone chapter. Here’s the episode schedule.

Eyes Full Of Dreams is a musical and motivational masterclass about making use of everything you are.

Dreaming isn’t dead, it’s simply been forgotten. Removed from our language. Sentenced to obscurity. And so, the educational need isn’t schooling, it’s shedding.

Through in studio performances and inspiring urban footage, the film isn’t teaching people how to dream, but teaching people how to unlock the portals through which dreams can enter.
