About Mary Kate Wiles

A native of Fayetteville, Arkansas, Mary Kate Wiles has been making a name for herself in several high-profile digital projects since stepping onto the scene as Lizzie’s outlandish and ultimately tragic younger sister, Lydia Bennet, in 2012’s Emmy-award winning The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Since then, Mary Kate has starred in various acclaimed projects such as I Ship It (featured at Sundance 2015), Squaresville, Spies Are Forever, and appeared alongside Sean Astin and Darren Criss in last year’s Wayward Guide for the Untrained Eye. Her various digital projects boast over 125 million views and have raised over a million dollars in successful Kickstarters. 

 

Since 2016, Wiles has been a member of Shipwrecked Comedy as both actor and producer. She has led the group through three successful crowdfunding efforts - raising over $300K combined - and to festivals in Toronto, Germany, and around the United States. Wiles runs Shipwrecked with her romantic partner of many years, Sean Persaud, and his sister Sinéad Persaud. Together, they have created series such as Edgar Allan Poe’s Murder Mystery Dinner Party, the recently wrapped Headless: A Sleepy Hollow Story featuring Matt Mercer (Critical Role) and John Rubinstein, and many other shorts sketches for a dedicated and loyal fanbase. 

 

Independently, Mary Kate Wiles has produced a well-received audio play podcast centering on Anne of Green Gables. She and other actors gather to read through Lucy Maud Montgomery’s beloved novel. In combination with its sequel, Anne of Avonlea, they have garnered well over 300K streams. 

 

Wiles has made appearances on numerous shows in traditional media, including Young Sheldon, Code Black, and The Middle. She has also lent her voice to the female Mysterio in Disney XD’s Ultimate Spider-Man. See her as everyone's favorite evil babysitter, Vicky, in the live-action reboot of The Fairly OddParents: Fairly Odder.

Jared Coote Interview

In this episode, we have invited Laura Moore - Shay, a Certified Personal Trainer and IFBB Bikini Pro. Today, Laura talks about her podcast Bikini Things, competing and being kind to yourself.
Laura’s Journey
[0:48]
Way back in college, Laura always hated how she looked then later, she found weight training. When she started to undergo the weight training, she saw her body change and suddenly, she could eat more and still look good. Over the years, she always wanted to do it and she had a job out of very demanding grad school. There was no way to make a bodybuilding lifestyle work with that.
Laura’s first competition
[3:15]
She did her first show in February of 2017. She placed second at that time and Laura felt like she was looking good. After that, she did one show which helped her pick up her confidence and give me some encouragement to keep going and see the potential for herself.
Always Work hard.
[8:04]
With anything that you do always give your best shot, you become successful, and that's how you become better at something if You can't expect to have the results if you have big goals.
Laura starting training other women.
[9:49]
In 2020, Laura's friend approached her to train for an upcoming competition so that's the starting point of how Laura starts teaching other people. After that, she plans to have more clients and receives many referrals or people who see the transformations.
Entering the Podcast World 
[13:26]
Laura enjoys talking about fitness and competing and sharing ideas. After starting the podcast, she also met more people in the fitness community and could get fellow IFBB pros on to interview.
The Bikini Word
[17:25]
There's so much that goes into fitness. One of those things because it's appearance-oriented and because there's sort of a low bar to entry. A lot of coaches or people online don't necessarily have certificates or any formal knowledge you get. You can get all kinds of stuff.

Laura Moore - Shay Interview

Zack Lyman tells you 10 things he would focus on if he had to start over in stand up comedy in 2021!

If I was starting comedy 2021 

1. Simple idea, I would try to write one hour a day. Maybe you sit at a coffee shop and write. 
or you work on some other parts of comedy like listening back to any recordings you have and 
being honest with yourself, how was my speed? Did I get the jokes out? Honest but not too harsh
since you are at just the beginning of this long long journey. 

2. I would find an online list of the open mics and try to adventure to a new one each week. 
finding your favorite open mics can really keep you going when you been having a hard day or month. 

3. Find a writing partner, someone that you feel comfortable with and you feel your styles compliment 
each other. I write with my friend Lou moon who can come up with some out of box ideas. But I also
love writing with my friend Savannah who really understands joke structure and keeps me from rambling 
too much. 

4. Rest is important, taking a day off from the open mics if you did an open mic everyday for 30 days
I would not be surprised if you became worse. I mean you can just push too hard and really lose yourself
taking a step back and living life is important. Living life is where I find a lot humor
just recently I took a vacation and came back to write 10 new mins about what happened. 

5. Study those who you love! Watch your favorite comedy special again and review what is truly going on. 
How are they moving? Where are they pausing? Why did they change up their timing or slow down? What is 
different at a 10 min mark vs the energy at 45min mark. 

6. Do not worry about finding your voice just yet. You are new! Your voice will come over time. 
I knew I found my voice when I would write jokes and think "wow that doesn't sound like me, 
I am not doing that" Then I slowly stopped writing jokes that didn't sound like me. 

7. Start setting comedy goals. I like simple ones like 5 new jokes this month. Then putting something 
crazy on the list like Audition for Americas got talent this year. Or record and listen to all my sets this
month. And email a comedy packet to SNL. These goals will help you push through the hard times. 

8. Record all your sets on your phone. Yes every set, I still have recordings from 2011 that I cringe 
at the idea of even listening to. But YES do it, you will thank yourself later. 

9. Video record when you can, I know it is hard to get good footage. When you are new its not recording to 
post content online. I would record when I can so I can watch my nervous ticks and try to get rid of them. 
Sometimes your movements can giveaway the punchline or ruin the set up. You want to seem like you know 
what you are doing up there. Or you might watch the tape and be like "WOW I look bored or upset" 

10. Go to shows. Go to shows you wish you were booked on but sadly you were not! Support local comedy, 
be friendly with your co workers truly. Two reasons I m

Noey Gnome sits down with Zack Lyman and Lou Moon. They chat about podcasting, youtube and onlyfans. 

About Noey

Noelle Cook, aka Noey Gnome, was born and raised in Seattle, WA. She grew up a competitive ballerina, a member of the LDS church, and the youngest of 3 siblings.

Noey currently lives in Scottsdale, Arizona with her two dogs, Peach and Mota. She’s also still dancing, but with a lot less clothing…

We sit down with David the owner of the new comedy club The Comedy Fort located in Fort Collins Colorado.

We Talk About
- Early stages of opening a comedy club
- Booking your own shows in all kinds of venues

About David
In 2015 David Rodriguez burst onto the Colorado comedy scene by winning Denver Comedy Works' prestigious New Faces Competition (previous winners include Adam Cayton-Holland and Josh Blue). In 2016, he proved it was no fluke by taking 1st place in the Stand-up Showdown at the Denver Improv, and then in 2017 he won the Comedy Works' Funny Final Four.
He has been recently featured on NPR for his standup and has performed on several great festivals including the Altercation, Bird City, Limestone, and High Plains Comedy Festivals as well being selected to the New Faces showcase at Just For Laughs in Montreal in 2018.

David Rodriguez Interview - Comedy Fort Club Owner

In this episode, we have invited Demi Bang, a blogger, and influencer that primarily focuses on beauty, college, career, lifestyle, and travel. She works as a marketing specialist for a consulting firm and a nail technician. Today, Demi shares with us her blogging journey and passion that can inspire others.

Own Platform
[01:03]
Demi wanted to post numerous photos without spamming her social media. She created her blog intending to have a photo dump.

Re-shifting Niche
[02:37]
Demi saw more potential in blogging and being an influencer rather than modeling. She got bored with modeling because she felt like everything was the same. 
[04:20]
Demi shared that she wanted to start a blog, but was so insecure about her writing, and English language, so she was hesitant. Her friends encouraged her to do it. At times, she goes through moods where she feels very confident in her writing, other times she doesn’t. 

Learning Process
[04:46]
She enjoys learning and seeing improvements. She added that writing is something she wants to improve on, so she wants to practice more.

Goals Setting
[06:40]
Demi discussed that she is focused on growing her blog more rather than her social media platform by growing her audience, writing more, and publishing more blogs consistently. She said that she likes to highlight local businesses in her area and form a relationship with people in her community.

Social Media Break
[09:31]
She feels that social media platforms are going to disappear. So she wants to grow her blog but still wants to put not much effort into her social media platforms.

Role Model
[16:32]
Demi shared about how Diana Elizabeth, who is also a blogger, has inspired her through her writing style. She said she looks up to her a lot.

[17:36]
According to Demi, she became inspired by her when she read a blog post that contained raw emotions that moved her. She got to have a meaningful conversation with her after learning that they share the same situation. She added that she admired her even more.

Non-Profit Organizations
[20:02]
Demi does volunteer work with “Big Brothers Big Sisters” where she helps in mentoring youth relationships.
[20:38]
She used to volunteer at “Skate After School”, an after-school program for underserved children, where she talks to and helps them to have fun.

Support System
[23:44]
Demi thinks that the influencer and blogging community is great. She has met a lot of great people through her blog, social media, and the influencer industry. For her, it's more of a community than the competition, because she feels like they all offer different things.

Social Media Changes
[24:45]
She thinks that social media is getting a little bit harder. She gets frustrated with Instagram because she is making sure to get a certain amount of likes to please the companies she’s working with. She feels like constantly trying to push out content just because it's sponsored. She added that it feels more like making sure people are engag
