youtu.be/c_WtEwxqiBs<br />

Putting this magazine together has been one of the most<br />

exciting things I have ever done. I reminisced and felt pretty<br />

good about myself and my accomplishments. But what<br />

really humbled me was when I just had to pause and give<br />

thanks to THE MAN for this life because I have been so<br />

fortunate and have people whom I know love and support<br />

me. Hats off to folks who challenged me and made me<br />

grow up.<br />

In this magazine I share my journey. You will read about<br />

how I was born and later chose to be a professional DJ. If<br />

entertainment is your thing, as a participant or someone<br />

who takes the stage, you’ll find something inside. I offer<br />

practical information about what you can do to stretch in<br />

the world of entertainment and have fun doing it.<br />

I interviewed Bree Argetsinger, <strong>The</strong> Betty Rocker, one<br />

of my bestest friends who talks about health, fitness &<br />

friendship. We have a special bond that we nourish.<br />

Talk about energy. You will see why she rocks.<br />

“I FIND<br />

THE GOOD<br />

LUCK IN<br />

MY LIFE”<br />

After travelling the world and producing music, radio, and<br />

events for the biggest brands on over 4 continents, I have<br />

learned a lot by keeping myself on full alert. And because<br />

of my heightened sense of awareness, I have found and<br />

made a lot of the good luck in my life. I see what others<br />

may overlook or twist what might have been an unfortunate<br />

situation because I have studied success and take the<br />

roads that lead there.<br />

I’ve learned that the most successful brands have a style<br />

guide, a copy guide, and a “Soundtrack” for their business.<br />

<strong>The</strong> “Soundtrack” connects them to their audience on an<br />

emotional level, not possible in print.<br />

Our commitment to you is to help you find the “soundtrack”<br />

that uniquely connects with your audience, building loyal<br />

listeners who become raving fans.<br />

FROM THE S%*#HOUSE<br />

TO THE<br />

MAIN<br />

STAGE<br />

I had heard him vomit in the stall and crossed my fingers<br />

to wish that he had not missed the bowl. Upon leaving<br />

the bathroom, he spat in a paper towel and missed<br />

the trash bin landing it on the floor. He shrugged and<br />

continued toward the door taking the mint I offered and<br />

dropping a quarter on the tray. He didn’t pick it up. Why<br />

didn’t he? Because he figured it was part of my job. And<br />

it was. I was the bathroom attendant who would wipe<br />

the toilet seats and attempt to spray away the odors. My<br />

costume was a pair of black pants and a shirt too large<br />

for this small brown frame. <strong>The</strong>n, I was the one who<br />

shrugged when they told me it was the smallest they<br />

had. In the bathroom only about three out of every ten<br />

guys would even acknowledge me. I was a part of the<br />

fixtures.<br />

You’d be surprised to know that I was not miserable.<br />

Each time the door cracked as someone came in or<br />

left, I could better hear the music and see the DJ. My<br />

reticular activating system, known as the (RAS) was<br />

on high alert. <strong>The</strong> RAS is a part of the brain; it is the<br />

brain’s sifter. It filters out what has been programmed to<br />

be unimportant and looks out for what is. My RAS was<br />

primed for opportunity. I could tell you every song the<br />

DJ had played, how the crowd had reacted, and how<br />

I would filter drops so that the crowd would go crazy,<br />

I’d already played it in my mind a hundred times.<br />

As the night progressed, the laughter of the girls got<br />

louder, the bathroom seemed to get smellier, and the<br />

DJ got worse. Why was I not miserable? Because<br />

I knew that bathroom attendant was not my final<br />

destination, and I was thankful, full of gratitude for<br />

the opportunity to work and make some money, and<br />

be around the music. I’d studied the brain and what<br />

successful people do and I was doing those things.<br />

Looking for where preparation meets opportunity is a<br />

never ending goal of mine.<br />

And it happened. <strong>The</strong> trainwreck. He had even done<br />

the worst thing a DJ can do in my opinion, which<br />

was disrespect his craft, and start killing the dance<br />

floor. He was drunk. When he stumbled and fell, I<br />

bolted for the turntable. To hell with the mints and<br />

the bathroom, I was on the DJ’s stage! I had never<br />

felt as if I fit in until I took that stage. Instinct basically<br />

took over and the late night practicing while the club<br />

was closed, took over. And you know what? I had<br />

studied and I was ready. And even more, nobody<br />

stopped me! In two minutes, I’d changed from being<br />

the lowest person in the club to the most important.<br />

I ramped up the music and rocked that room like I<br />

knew I always could.<br />

Some years later, it happened again. I was at a<br />

wedding party and the DJ blew it. <strong>The</strong> DJ was<br />

messy from partying too much himself and was<br />

hammered. Let me tell you that this was not the<br />

crowd you wanted to disappoint. It was a wedding<br />

involving a Hollywood power couple. A member of<br />

the couple searched the crowd, caught my eye and<br />

invited me up. I looked at the eyeballs looking back<br />

at me. <strong>The</strong>re were so many faces. My hands were<br />

sweaty. Taking a deep breath, I went to what fires<br />

me up and would fire up the crowd. I went to the<br />

playlist I had on my USB around my neck and sent<br />

it.. and the rest is history.<br />

Know this about me:<br />

My RAS is attached to my mission. I am<br />

professional. At the turntable, when I am<br />

working it, I am working!<br />

WHY<br />

SHOEBOX<br />

MOSES?<br />

Sammy Taggett was found in the trash in Manila, Philippines,<br />

having been thrown away in a shoebox, when someone heard<br />

his cry. <strong>The</strong>y took him to an orphanage which guessed him to<br />

be about nine hours old. Given the number of stray dogs and<br />

rats, thoughts immediately go to his utter vulnerability in those<br />

first moments of life and the innumerable things that could<br />

have happened. But Sammy is a thriver, beating the odds from<br />

his first breath forward.<br />

Fueled by a desire to give back and create lasting social<br />

change for good, Sammy along with Brandi Shigley, founded<br />

“<strong>The</strong> Foundlings.” <strong>The</strong>ir mission is to provide education and<br />

creative learning platforms for youths in orphanages in the<br />

Philippines. <strong>The</strong>ir programs support long term outcomes of<br />

meaningful lives, sustainable development, and economic<br />

self-sufficiency. Sammy is well aware of the research<br />

proving children exposed to arts and music have<br />

enhanced development.<br />

found·ling (found′lĭng) n.<br />

an infant that has been abandoned by its<br />

parents and is discovered and cared for<br />

by others.<br />

<strong>The</strong>Foundlings.Org<br />

Sammy: “Research shows that having the<br />

arts and music in children is essential. We<br />

know that intuitively as humans - parents<br />

sing to their babies. Studies show that<br />

children and teenagers who participated<br />

in arts programs have shown more<br />

positive academic and social outcomes in<br />

comparison to those who did not. It’s why<br />

educational platforms are at the heart of<br />

our mission.”<br />

HOW TO<br />

PIVOT AS AN<br />

ENTERTAINER<br />

AND GET GIGS INSTANTLY<br />

DURING THE QUARANTINE<br />

#COVID-19 #ClubQuarantine #OneWorldDanceParty<br />

Where we are now almost forces us to find a new way or a better way to do things.<br />

And wherever we find ourselves, I am hoping that we can see and take advantage of<br />

the opportunity to grow. To pivot. Merriam Webster Dictionary gives one definition of<br />

pivot as: stepping with one foot while keeping the other foot at its point of contact with<br />

the floor. This particular definition relates to basketball, but I think it’s a great metaphor<br />

for what we need to do. Because like the players, we need to keep one foot grounded<br />

and the other shifting in the new direction-- the direction of growth. And what do we find<br />

in growth? Learning and wisdom.<br />

<strong>The</strong> first thing is to have the mindset that you are a music ambassador. And that<br />

through your music you bring joy and even healing. You must not only stay current with<br />

the latest drops but are current in the ways in which you can grow your audience. In<br />

those ways, you can bring more joy and healing.<br />

8


So, here are some tips to help you on your path to growing as an<br />

entertainer, with the ability to reach a huge audience and bring turntable<br />

joy into this world:<br />

1<br />

Identify your best skill. If you do not know what it is, ask others what is something<br />

you have done that impressed them. That is your strength. FOCUS FOCUS<br />

FOCUS on that. Some skills that are particularly effective. Are you a good Emcee,<br />

someone who can engage an audience? Can you tell amazing stories or are you<br />

an incredible musician or singer? Are you a gifted comedian? What do you do so<br />

well as an entertainer that often leaves people in AWE? Focus on that these next<br />

few weeks and test them out on your audience! Everyone is watching now!<br />

More than ever!<br />

2<br />

Lean into your relationship capital! I cannot stress this enough. <strong>The</strong> time when<br />

you were afraid to ask for a testimonial after an amazing gig or show you did, is<br />

OVER. It is now time to reach out to your current customer base and ask them<br />

simply “How are you doing? If I were to host a virtual party for you, would that be<br />

something that your company, audience, family, etc would be interested in? We’re<br />

helping spread the love around the world through entertainment and since we can’t<br />

go to shows, I would love to bring the show to your living room!”<br />

3<br />

Get creative with your studio space; it is now a virtual backdrop for your<br />

performance. Here are some of my favorite simple things you can add<br />

Lighting Ideas, creative backdrops, using Green Screens with your zoom<br />

calls, and are all basic places to start for sure!<br />

4<br />

Stay in the mindset of SERVICE. WE CAN’T STRESS THIS ENOUGH. <strong>The</strong><br />

people that are going to come out of this ahead are the ones who are serving the<br />

most during this time of isolation. We want you to be that person. If you are wanting<br />

more in-depth tips on how you can serve your audience better and market yourself<br />

more effectively please write to us at: Tips@theevolvedperformer.com<br />

5<br />

Work on a new skill. To put it simply, goals are temporary and skills are for a<br />

lifetime. Now is the time to focus on finding another SKILL that can lead to your<br />

advancement. Whether that is using Instagram better, for that I suggest Chalene<br />

Johnson, or how to market better with someone like Mike Dillard, you need to lean<br />

into this more than ever. HONE A SKILL!<br />

Amplify<br />

Your<br />

Passion<br />

And Take<br />

It Out To<br />

<strong>The</strong> World<br />

We have found out that we need to stay<br />

connected more than ever and we’ve<br />

figured out how to do that.<br />

As far back as the research can take us, evidence<br />

shows that man created music meaning that music<br />

is an important part of who we are. It is deep within<br />

us with a drive for outward expression. When we<br />

hear it, we move - we dance and sing -and feel joy.<br />

I think that it became part of who we are because<br />

we are social in nature and because music is a<br />

means to connect us to each other. When we think<br />

about music, our favorite song comes to mind and<br />

the memories associated with it. How about this?<br />

How about intentionally creating beautiful memories<br />

with a dance party? You can participate or create one<br />

yourself.<br />

Music heals. Scholarly articles about the effects of<br />

music on healing are published almost daily. <strong>The</strong><br />

interest is increasing because we have better ways<br />

to measure the body’s response to music stimuli. And<br />

baby, does it respond! But they didn’t have to tell us<br />

that because we know. We feel it!<br />

You can use music to get in flow. Certain music really<br />

does take you THERE. Ask any athlete. Many have<br />

a playlist they use to get psyched up, to get in flow.<br />

Ever since Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi published his book<br />

“Flow” numerous scholars have published articles<br />

about music and getting in flow. You are in flow when<br />

you are in the zone, completely taken over, totally<br />

absorbed by what you are doing. <strong>The</strong>re are times<br />

when I am at the decks really feeling the energy and<br />

we are all moving as one and I take off. An hour can<br />

pass and it seems like five minutes. When do you<br />

do that?<br />

You can take advantage of the connections music<br />

makes. Start by honoring the connections you have.<br />

Today more than ever, it is important to let people<br />

know that you love and care about them. And Do It<br />

Now. You can use it to amplify your passion by using<br />

music to connect with people who share your interests,<br />

a to z, ranging from inspiring photos to sharing the<br />

funniest memes. Reach out to others online and create<br />

something. Amplify your passion.<br />

SPECIAL FEATURE<br />

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW WITH<br />

THE BETTY RO<br />

We believe in each other and have pushed and<br />

pulled one another forward. <strong>The</strong> result being<br />

that we are both quite successful in our lives.<br />

Sammy and Bree spending precious<br />

time together<br />

Though she goes hard and fast with her love<br />

of motorcycles, skydiving, and other sports that<br />

take most folks breath away, she is the most<br />

nurturing woman you will ever meet. <strong>The</strong> Betty<br />

Rocker has changed the lives of thousands<br />

of people, starting with helping them to get<br />

comfortable in their own skins. She wants us to<br />

pause and recognize that we are enough right<br />

now. She says that we are all FLAWESOME,<br />

“awesome with our flaws.” As we are. And I<br />

totally agree. It is something I want my people to<br />

know as well.<br />

16<br />

In this interview, I am celebrating and<br />

sharing with you nearly ten years of<br />

friendship with Bree Argetsinger,<br />

aka <strong>The</strong> Betty Rocker. She’s a real<br />

undisputed Super Badass Ninja, who<br />

plays full out. She shows up in the health<br />

and fitness space as a key player. And<br />

her name, <strong>The</strong> Betty Rocker, does say it<br />

all. So much is in a name, isn’t it? We’ve<br />

talked about how I refer to myself as<br />

Shoebox Moses, the <strong>Evolved</strong> <strong>Performer</strong>,<br />

and that by our choosing a name that<br />

empowered us, we embodied more<br />

strength.<br />

Our friendship glue comes in large<br />

part from the belief that we believe that<br />

relationships need nurturing to continue<br />

and grow. We have done that with ours.<br />

My fear of abandonment abated. Look<br />

at the photo of the two of us walking<br />

with arms entwined. That day we just<br />

happened to run into one another and<br />

both needed to talk. <strong>The</strong> universe did its<br />

work and we were there for each other.<br />

Bree knows her stuff. She is a C.H.E.K.<br />

(Corrective Exercise and High Performance<br />

Kinesiology) certified exercise coach, a<br />

Nationally Certified Structural Integration<br />

Practitioner and a certified ISSA practitioner<br />

International Sports Sciences Association. I<br />

have followed her plans and benefited easily<br />

seeing how I got more stamina and that is big<br />

with the crazy demanding schedule I have. Her<br />

exercise and meal plans are varied because<br />

we as people are. She has plans for the various<br />

lifestyles we lead, some taking only 15 minutes<br />

because she gets us. And you can always find a<br />

program because her programs evolve as<br />

we do. We understand to be an <strong>Evolved</strong><br />

<strong>Performer</strong> you need to have trainers that are


CKER<br />

also <strong>Evolved</strong> <strong>Performer</strong>s themselves, and I<br />

can’t think of a better fit than Bree to lead us<br />

into the best healthy versions of ourselves!<br />

Bree says, “When you look at good things in<br />

yourself, you see them in others.” We totally<br />

see you THE BETTY ROCKER. And we are<br />

loving it!<br />

PARTY HERO<br />

AS AN ONLINE ENTERTAINER<br />

With everyone feeling the need to connect with their loved ones and because<br />

we’re offering some simple tips on how to be the life of the party, even if<br />

you are virtual. Follow these simple tips and you’ll be sure to make all your<br />

engagements with family, old friends and new ones, memorable and fun.<br />

THE ESSENTIALS:<br />

1. DO YOUR RESEARCH<br />

Get to know your audience and get their musical choices early. This can be as<br />

simple as getting a Spotify playlist from them ahead of time. Your music should<br />

match the party-goers. Once you get that music pick the music that has<br />

HIGH ENERGY!<br />

2. PARTICIPATION<br />

<strong>The</strong>se parties are 100% about audience participation. GET them involved, from<br />

costumes to wigs to fun lighting. <strong>The</strong>re has to be some involvement on their<br />

part! WE love watching people have dance-offs and family choreography. When<br />

using Zoom, you can see their names. Make sure that you can call them out by<br />

their names!<br />

3. EDUCATE<br />

how your audience how to enjoy your online party. <strong>The</strong>re is nothing more<br />

anti-climatic than listening to a huge dance song that doesn’t sound fun cause<br />

it’s on a small computer speaker! Educate your audience on how to listen<br />

through their home stereo or their Bluetooth speakers. Anything is BETTER<br />

THAN A COMPUTER!<br />

Mindvalley - Vishen Lakhiani<br />

One of the most and powerful things I’ve ever done for my career was learning to recognize how to play<br />

for the most powerful people in the spaces I’m passionate about. When I had the opportunity to perform<br />

for AFEST it was a no-brainer. It’s not often that you get to pinpoint an event that was the turning point of a<br />

career as blatantly as AFEST was for me. I am so honored and wanted to say thank you from the bottom of<br />

my heart for helping this world unfold for me. I know without a doubt I would not be where I am today both<br />

Mindshare AF!! That’s what we say around these parts! Mindshare has helped me understand my health from<br />

a totally unique and powerful way. <strong>The</strong> gracious gift of being adopted into their community has been such<br />

a blessing for soo many reasons. For the last 2 years, we’ve been able to raise the health consciousness<br />

around the planet together. J.J., I can’t thank you enough for having the courage and tenacity to build out<br />

this platform for health practitioners around the world. Karl, first thank you for handing me your business card<br />

and getting me on your stage two years ago. More importantly, your guidance and brotherhood in my world<br />

have been so monumental to my growth as a business leader, healthy performer. Thank you Mindshare for<br />

booking me on the summit for the last 2 years.<br />

Digital Marketer - Ryan, Richard, Roland, and Marcus,<br />

and Deanna!<br />

My esteemed colleagues and mayhems of mischief, how I love to think back on some of the best memories<br />

with you gentlemen. <strong>The</strong>re’s nothing like being total ham balls backstage to an audience of 8 thousand<br />

people, all the while knowing that you are you helping to shape the digital landscape in marketing. You guys<br />

have been more than generous with your love for me and my mission and always made me feel like I was<br />

part of the family. I can’t believe we’ve been at this now for 5 years. Absolutely bonkers...<br />

Maverick 1000! - Yanik & Sophia!<br />

<strong>The</strong>y say that the ships rise with the tides, and I honestly didn’t feel like I was a ship worthy enough for the<br />

longest time and your tribe helped me break that belief. I am beyond grateful for our trips to the woods and<br />

the islands and everything in between. This <strong>Magazine</strong> and ShoeboxMoses wouldn’t be in existence without<br />

you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for allowing me to be part of the Maverick family!! <strong>The</strong>re’s no<br />

place I’d rather be!<br />

Baby Bath Water Institute - Hollis & Michael<br />

What a long strange trip it’s been and I can’t thank you enough for your support in bringing me along with<br />

you ‘little brother’ style and letting me add my little flare to your incredible tribe. You guys have taught me soo<br />

much on authenticity, and how to do the right thing when it comes to building a brand and an empire, truly<br />

humbled to be floating in the same bathtub! I’ve never had more crazy fun than I have with you guys, and I<br />

have a strange feeling that it’s just the tip of the iceberg with us.<br />

HEART BEAT...<br />

When you see the skills and study and accumulated experiences we have, it’s easily apparent that<br />

nobody has what we do. Our <strong>Evolved</strong> <strong>Performer</strong> System, created by Sammy Taggett, Shoebox<br />

THE ENTERTAIN<br />

Something interesting happened the next morning after attending a conference where<br />

Dry Farms Wine was served; and we all noticed it. We all felt amazingly alert and were<br />

able to easily focus on the tasks at hand. <strong>The</strong> wine had relaxed us as we drank allowing<br />

us to connect on a deeper level but had not dulled us. It was as if Dry Farm Wines had<br />

a magical formula which gives them the power to connect people with their wine while<br />

keeping biological side effects to a minimum.<br />

NER’S TOOLKIT<br />

Solari is one of the best aids to take for a good<br />

night’s sleep. It’s a reliable CBD product that I can<br />

trust because I know the very land in Colorado on<br />

which it is grown. Solari is a hemp product that<br />

you can use with confidence.<br />
