The topic, “Entrepreneurship – Focusing and Branding Your Creativity”. The radio interview was done on Tuesday, December 14, 2010 from 2:00 pm to 3:00 pm


During the live interview Jim asked Mark Valinsky how as a multi-talented entrepreneur you can stay focused in multiple careers, properly brand yourself and communicate to your public without confusion.


To listen to the online radio interview go to: http://view.liveindexer.com/ViewIndexSessionSLAO.aspx?backTo=ViewEvents&indexSessionSKU=kJmzT8A4PFcm%2bwX7WfVGcA%3d%3d&origin=ViewCategories&siteSKU=a9zxHN90HbiGCCKkIudBVg%3d%3d&categorySKUs=ZSRioyaN3r/zr45dNmNaeg%3d%3d&categorySearch=categoryAll&

Jim DeCicco is the show’s creator and host www.mm4artists.com who also has a creative career which includes being an award winning musician, music producer, and entrepreneur for more than 20 years. Jim’s creative work has garnered over a dozen industry awards for independent artist production in addition to studio work with many well known recording artists.

In 2005, the HealthyLife.Net Radio reached an audience size of 8,522,455 listeners. HealthyLife.Net continues to grow in worldwide audience to 108 countries and now reaches 1,240 cities in all 50 U.S. states in America. HealthyLife.net is syndicated to 52 channels of distribution and simulcast 24/7.

“A creative artist while in medical school Mark helped institute and develop the video teaching lab where he was a producer, cameraman and editor on 12 teaching videos. In the years following his graduation in his career as a surgical podiatrist, Mark helped advance many of the philosophies and techniques of Minimal Incision (Minimal Traumatic) surgery as applied to the foot far before it was popular and has 8 published researched papers. He has also traveled throughout the United States and the world lecturing, including to Madrid, Spain and five visits to the People’s Republic of China.” Wrote Olga Lindsay on Mark Valinsky IMDB.

Something was missing and Mark wanting more out of the rest of his life so he moved to Los Angeles to pursue his passion of producing, acting and photography.

Once while talking with Tom Cruise, Tom asked Mark why he would give up being a successful doctor and switch careers to act and produce, Mark’s answer to Tom, “You’re having too much fun without me”.

With a great respect for classic Hollywood Mark is interested in all aspects of the film and television industry. Mark brings to the entertainment field a certain degree of professionalism and determination along with a good mixture of mid west friendliness, dependability and ethics combined with a proper dose of East Coast aggressiveness, plus a natural pursuit of determined excellence to get things done.


Because of their accomplishments in many fields, Mark points out his respect and admiration for people like Clint Eastwood well known and respected for his many diverse talents – politician, composer, musician, film director, producer, and actor.

Mark has initiated Valinsky Media Group http://www.ValinskyMediaGroup.com who has a number of divisions integrated in performing professional services in Public Relations and Marketingfor select clients, involved in the Entertainment Business as well as the financing and production of films.”

While many believe a secret to success is to do one thing well, Mark Valinsky feels you can also be successful by doing the many things you are passionate about and doing them well. The statement “A jack of all trades, a master of none.” really doesn’t always apply, nor should it.

 

He uses a few examples and states: “Can you imagine what would have happened if someone convinced Leonardo di Vinci that “Leonardo, maybe you should just paint and forgot about all these other crazy ideas that pop into your head.”

Or to Thomas Edison, considered one of the most prolific inventors in history, holding 1,093 US patents in his name, “You know Tom, the phonograph was enough.” Or to Clint Eastwood; “Clint I like your acting, Why don’t you forget about your production company, music composing and directing? You’ll never win an Academy Award if you try too many things.”
