Scott Have a day-gig in ATL w/ CarterBaldwin Executive Search. LOVE that job, but also love volunteering for & serving Grace Ministries/Writer's Cup of Grace - www.writerscupofgrace.com - in Birmingham, AL. I am (we are) working with the Founder and TEAM GRACE to market (in creative ways) our ministry/nonprofit. We are a nonprofit counseling practice with three published books (all proceeds benefit the nonp - more books on the way) and are very intentionally working to grow our TRIBE. Already have a strong long-term core TRIBE and want to SPREAD the GOOD NEWS of HOPE and COURAGE and RESPECT to MANY outside of our organic TRIBE. Slow-going, but we are working hard (book signings, local advertising, facebook, blog). Our challenge is that at 15 years and with 3 new books, we are challenged in getting the word out after being confidential and intentionally under the radar for so long. Wheee! Much FUN ahead!

[email protected] Atlanta Anne Shenton I bombed dozens of big corporate job interviews when I was in business school. I "settled" for a job as marketing director for a small IT consulting company in Valdosta, Georgia. Little did I know that I'd be surrounded by Linchpins. Thank you, God. And now, I know how to embrace the gift. Thank you, Seth. Marketing Director is my day job, and I love it. By night, I'm a novelist. I've been working on my book for three years, and I have finally (thanks to Seth) set a ship date of December 24. I'm going to give my mom the first copy of my manuscript on Christmas. www.westreed.com Atlanta Ben Reed Ben Reed, MBA I'm a Partner at West Reed - a brand consultancy in Atlanta.

[email protected] Atlanta Chad Rothschild I am obviously a huge Seth fan and enjoyed working with Seth, Ishita & the volunteers organizing this event. I want to be a part of something bigger than myself. Do work that matters. Be a passionate & generous linchpin with whatever I am doing, Pay it forward. Be a part of changing, transforming & supporting the success in people's lives and be the difference I want to see in the world. http://www.linkedin.com/in/chandaglover Atlanta Chanda Glover I spent five years as an engineer, but hated. However in my spear time I developed and marketed a scholarship. I love data, but not data about machines. I'm outcoming AND analytical. So I'm doing a career change to marketing. I want to be the customer's biggest advocated in the company. To get experience, I'm doing a year of service as a marketer for AmeriCorps VISTA at Hard Hatted Women in Cincinnati, OH. [email protected] Atlanta Darcy Eikenberg As a leadership & workplace coach and speaker (www.coachdarcy.com), I’m honored to connect with successful executives, aspiring leaders, and hard-working teams. But in the past few years, I’ve heard too many stories of heartache and headache told by talented, committed corporate professionals who see their talents wasted, under-utilized, or ignored. A closer look says this isn’t just a post-recession phenomenon—it’s “the real world.” These potentially powerful people--people we need for business and global success--are stuck, frustrated, annoyed. What’s worse, they say their work environment is killing their minds, bodies, and spirits. As a coach, I get hired to help some of them. As a speaker, I can seed ideas more broadly. But as a linchpin, I’m compelled to connect and create, to overcome resistance, to step into the gap and build the answer that’s currently not there. So that’s the next adventure for me. In January 2011, I’ll launch Red Cape Revolution (www.redcaperevolution.com). Red Cape Revolution will reteach everyday professionals how to discover their superpowers, how bring them to work, and how to make a difference in their corner of the world—however big or small that corner may be. It’s the start of a movement, injecting more confidence, clarity, and creativity, and gently (but firmly) provoking us to take back control and start valuing the gifts our organization—and our world--needs us to bring. Underneath the movement is a supportive, lively, and slightly irreverent online community of experts and everyday people. Visitors will find real-time tips and scripts, meet new heroes, and find fresh answers to tough questions about work, career, and success today. Plus, they’ll have fun, and who doesn’t need more of that?! Thanks to all Linchpins for love and support as we start changing the conversation about what’s possible at work! [email protected] Atlanta David Craig I am the Director of Marketing for a $45 billion Atlanta based asset manager. Our goal as a marketing group is to add value to the advisors who sell our funds.

We are a team on a mission and I want to make sure we are doing all we can to evaluate and change as needed to be successful. I am also part of an organic Linchpin group in Nashville a few of us have started. It is an internal group at the moment, but would love to bring on more people.

I am the Executive Director of Next Level Training and Motivation in Thomasville, Georgia. I work with young athletes to lead those who desire it into a closer relationship with Christ.

[email protected] Atlanta Erinn Keserica As a director of marketing for a top U.S. accounting firm, I lead Frazier & Deeter’s initiatives to market, brand, and communicate the wonderful world of professional accounting and advisory services. In this marketplace, selling services can be like selling the invisible. Each day I strive to help my team stay one step ahead of our competition by building a marketing culture, streamlining messages, communicating opportunities with changing legislation and demonstrating value. After 15 years of experience marketing within agency and client side positions, I have learned that you have to continuously find ways to challenge yourself as a marketer. My advice is to be incredibly creative and imaginary whether you are developing marketing programs or strategies. You are in charge of driving the process…and don’t be afraid to use technology as a tool to demonstrate ROI. I am proud to be recognized as one of Atlanta’s 40 most influential professionals under the age of 40 by Atlanta Business Chronicle and have been the recipient of multiple national marketing awards and honors. Because mentoring is also a passion of mine, I have assumed the role of Vice President for the national organization, the Association for Accounting Marketing (AAM). Anyone out there share the same vision? If so, let’s create a community for marketing success. [email protected] Atlanta Frank Sapp I am a contract trainer and Assistive Technology Specialist working with people with disabilities for an Atlanta NGO, Touch The Future. As an Assistive Technology specialist I help people find the correct match of technology to permit them to become more independent.

  • Use and Influence of Amateur Musician Narratives in Film, 1981-2001

    Use and Influence of Amateur Musician Narratives in Film, 1981-2001

    USE AND INFLUENCE OF AMATEUR MUSICIAN NARRATIVES IN FILM, 1981-2001 Colin Helb A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY August 2009 Committee: Jeremy Wallach, Advisor Irina Stakhanova Graduate Faculty Representative Vivian Patraka Awad Imbrahim © 2009 Colin Helb All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Jeremy Wallach, Advisor This dissertation is an analytical survey of four amateur musician narratives created between 1981 and 2001. Unlike purportedly true, marketing-driven uses of amateur narratives, the four narratives chosen for this project are unabashed total fictions. Despite this, the films achieve levels of perceived “authenticity” by way of cultural value and influence. None of the narratives deal with amateur musicianship as a stage or step in an inherent progression towards professionalism, as seems a prerequisite for the recollections of the now professional. But all include narratives of amateur musicians struggling to make it against “insurmountable commercial odds” resulting from an artist’s gender, talent, ability, or identity. Despite this, none treat hegemonically dictated concepts of commercial success, wealth, fame, and stardom as the ultimate and/or desired goal of amateurism or semiprofessionalism. The films all present concepts of accomplishment in challenge of hegemonic notions of professional dominance and commercial success as markers of success. The four films, Ladies and Gentlemen, The Fabulous Stains (1981), Ishtar (1987), Half-Cocked (1995), and Hedwig and the Angry Inch (2001), are culturally representative of their respective eras, but have experienced lasting cultural influence in both filmmaking and music making. The films exist as prototypical examples of amateur musicians narratives, performance, and media common to the 20th Century “rise of the amateur” as found on the Internet, in realty programming, and marketing tragedies.
