From the Social Media North @somedianorth Twitter Account
We’ve seen a shift in consumer tastes more toward having a tangible product in your hand (such as a CD) rather than intangible downloads. @RichardCrouse #SocialMediaNorth
Don’t look at your creative work as separate from “a real job.” Better to take your creative career seriously in order to succeed. @RichardCrouse #SocialMediaNorth
From the beginning of his career, @RichardCrouse has found it more productive to ask forgiveness rather than permission. #SocialMediaNorth
Check out episode thirteen of Richard’s new web series, “In Isolation With…” It’s the talk show where we make a connection without actually making contact! Today, broadcasting directly from Isolation Studios (a.k.a. my home office), we meet tv host, author, designer, olive oil farmer and one of my favorite guests, Debbie Travis. From her home in London, England she describes what’s happening in her neighborhood, why she left her retreat in Tuscany when the pandemic started and why may be the perfect time to reinvent your life, which just happens to be the subject of her best selling book, “Design Your Next Chapter: How to Realize Your Dreams and Reinvent Your Life,” now out in paperback. Usually I’m the only one asking questions in these interviews but Debbie asked one that I think a lot of people have wondered about… have a look to find out what she asked! Come visit with us! In isolation we are united!

What to watch when you’ve already watched everything Part Fourteen! Binge worthy, not cringe worthy recommendations from Isolation Studios in the eerily quiet downtown Toronto. Three movies to stream, rent or buy from the comfort of home isolation. Today, going underground, a gang war in rhyme and the beginning of a franchise. #Buried #ChiRaq #FirstBlood
