You Get Things Done By Having a Plan as a Creative Entrepreneur

Posted on June 16, 2025 by Bruce

I get asked all the time how I get so much done in my business. As a media company we have many different moving parts to consider and execute on. We have regular weekly podcast episodes to create. We have live radio shows each week to perform, and we have television episodes to create and submit to the station. Add social media, marketing, event coverage and you can see things can get very confusing and out of control very fast. So what is the secret? Batching content and having a schedule for creation, but when do you have time to plan all this content?

Watch the video to find out how to create great content

The solution in the video has worked for me for many years and allows me to focus on creating that content and not worry how much I need to create. If content is part of your marketing plan like it is for us then you can’t stop it when your busy and only do it when slow. You need to create it on a regular basis. Try it and you will see how well it works.

Bruce Outridge Ends Inspiring Youth Show after 8 Years on Television

It’s been a great ride, but all good things must come to an end. After 8 seasons the Inspiring Youth Show is coming to an end in it’s current form. I have been privileged with a great opportunity which allowed me to meet some impressive young people in my community and work with the incredible team at Cogeco Cable / Your TV in Halton Ontario. The show has gained popularity in the local area and to be honest I didn’t want to let it go, but need to make some more time for personal issues.

Watch part of the last show here

I would like to thank Your TV for having me as part of the line up for all these years and to all the supporters, guests, and friends I have met through the show. I will be continuing to work with young people in the community through various events in the area. You wil also still see me on your local television set through my other show Cashing in on Creativity which airs June to September on Your TV.

Cash In On Your Creativity

Posted on April 17, 2025 by Bruce

We all want to cash in on our creativity and make money from our talents. That however is easier said than done! Musicians struggle to make money from their music and visual artists hang beautiful art on the wall hoping it will find a place in someone’s home. Authors write and create wonderful works of literature with hopes of big payoffs. But most struggle to sell minimum sales. So why do artists do it? They do it for the love of creativity, to take the thought that is in your mind and create something that others can enjoy is the biggest drug you can have and will burn inside you until create the work. If you’re going to create work anyway why not make it pay for you?

Learn about me here.

I am an artist as well in different genres and understand the creative drive, but I also understand the amount of work that goes into the creation process. Unless you are strictly doing your art as a hobby you have to find a way to make it pay for itself. Some artists go through a grant process and others find a way to use it as a business model. I have always gone through the business model and in order to do that you need to find the connection between your art and the need of a customer. It may be for entertainment purposes on the client end but they have to see how it will improve their life and many artists miss that point. My caricatures help an event have a better guest experience. A book can help a reader learn a concept. Music can help improve an event experience. How can your talent help someone else? If you learn that you will see the business model.

The Creative Life

If you are looking to get started on your career as an artist it can be a very hard road, but also extremely rewarding. Visit the Cashing in on Creativity channel for information from top artists about how they got started. I wish you well in your journey.

Inspiring Youth Features Young Musicians:S8-S8

Posted on April 8, 2025 by Bruce

Inspiring Youth went on location with a young musician to find out what it’s like to be in a studio environment and this was an extra special young musician because it was my Granddaughter. Here is what happened!

I was really just trying to spend time with my Granddaughter. It was her fourteenth birthday and I wanted to do something special with her. She has taught herself to play piano, guitar, and other instruments. As the owner of an internet radio station I know a lot of musicians and called on my friend Greg Zaluski of the Greg Zaluski Band. He graciously said yes and it was on. My Wife, Mother, and Neveah (My Granddaughter) headed out for lunch at Harveys (My Mums idea) and then down to Greg’s studio in Brantford Ontario. Greg and his wife Tina went above and beyond even buying Nevaeh a birthday cake.

Nevaeh got a guitar lesson with Greg and then we did the interviews for the television show. They even had me jam with them on the drums although I won’t be joining the band anytime soon. We had a great interview and you can see part of the show here.

Watch the show here. Full show on YourTV

So there you have it, Show 7 of Season 8 and special time with my Granddaughter. A big thank you to Greg Zaluski and his wife Tina for all of your help making this happen. If you are a young musician I hope you get some inspiration to continue your career.
