Hey there! Welcome to episode 119 of the Curve the Cube podcast. I can't believe it's already episode 119. Thank you so much for being a listener and coming along on this journey with me. I hope you are becoming more and more of a curvist yourself, too!!

This episode features a girl I am sooo excited to introduce you to, in case you don't know her, yet. She's Yamilia Avendano, a.k.a. Yami, and she founded her uber successful video game press site, Twinfinite.net, about 6 years ago. We sat down right on the heels of her coming back from E3 and had SUCH a fun time! She may seem unassuming and even a bit shy. But, don't let her fool you. She is a force to be reckoned with, and there's simply no stopping her rise to the top! On this episode we talk about how she gets creative with her video series, whether turning your passion into a career makes it feel like a job, feeling you need to do it all (but, for everyone else), and of COURSE, some of her E3 reviews.

In a bit of a formatting toss-up (I warned you I would be playing a bit with the show's format for a few episodes here and there), I will be diving deep into the whole passion-feeling-like-a-job issue in a mini-solocast before then taking the topic to The Learning Curve. AND, you will be treated to a quick sneak appearance by one of my new favorite people, Glenn the Geek of the Horse Radio Network!

So, just a couple of quick reminders: Please check out all the shows on the Flint Stone Media Podcast Network by going to FSMPodcastNetwork.com. And, join the conversation on Facebook the the Dreamers Become Doers group. Head to DreamersBecomeDoers.com for all the info!

Alrighty, let's get into the conversation with Yami of Twinfinite.net, already! And, I apologize in advance for my massive case of the giggles!!

Thank you for joining me on this 118th episode! It's a solocast about becoming an influencer in your industry, which is very timely for me, as it seems to be starting to happen to me right NOW. I am fresh off of my podcasting presentation to the Mystery Writers of America, Florida Chapter, and it could not have been a more fun event. And, even more, the aftermath has been fantastic and really driven into me the power of being seen as an influencer in your industry.

So, let's dive into the benefits and how-to of becoming an influencer and spark some creative ideas of how you can become an influencer yourself. I switch up the format on this episode, leading with my usual tasty nuggets in The Learning Curve. Then, I treat you to my MWA presentation audio, which is chock-full of tips on how to get booked on podcasts (a GREAT way to gain exposure and be seen as an influencer) and tons of information on how to start your own podcast (also a great way to become known). So, take some good notes on this podcast and become your industry's next influencer!!

Enjoy!!
