Howard Brown:

Joanna Tress:

Hello Hello Howard I'm doing so well and so excited

Joanna Tress:

to be here with you today this shine brightly with you.

Howard Brown:

We are going to shine together. You're looking

Howard Brown:

glamorous. Let me tell let me tell my audience about you

Howard Brown:

because I have to tell you, I am so captivated by you because you

Howard Brown:

are so talented. You do it all you do it all. So let me tell

Howard Brown:

you, Joanna Tress, you are a singer, songwriter, actress,

Howard Brown:

musician, you're based in Orlando, home of Mickey and

Howard Brown:

Minnie and you liberate the Creative and Performing Arts

Howard Brown:

inside each one of us so that we can enjoy more fun, who doesn't

Howard Brown:

want more fun, right? I want more fun, right? And freedom and

Howard Brown:

satisfaction in life, to be our authentic selves. Why that's

Howard Brown:

important. Your company marciana.org It hosts the five

Howard Brown:

dimensional experiences to help men and women of all backgrounds

Howard Brown:

tap into their positive creative energy express themselves in

Howard Brown:

whatever artistic way they desire. Oh my goodness, that is

Howard Brown:

powerful. So what I want you to do is to add on, tell me

Howard Brown:

something more and also share something that we may not know

Howard Brown:

about you something that is a little bit of a secret that we

Howard Brown:

got to let the world know about you.

Joanna Tress:

One of my favourite movies is Coal Miner's

Joanna Tress:

Daughter. The story of up starts with an L. O country music

Joanna Tress:

superstar. It was amazing. She got married when she was 13.

Joanna Tress:

Loretta Lynn Loretta Lynn, the legend got married at 13 started

Joanna Tress:

having babies. Her husband she called them due. He really

Joanna Tress:

believed in her and helped set her up for success. But my

Joanna Tress:

favourite scene is when she's on the porch with her guitar next

Joanna Tress:

to a washing machine old fashioned style. And she's

Joanna Tress:

plucking out tunes and sings with like three or four babies

Joanna Tress:

crawling all over her. It but she's making songs and the

Joanna Tress:

washer sort of stops she's got to kick it to keep it sucking

Joanna Tress:

away I love that are singing while she's planting that movies

Joanna Tress:

so so much about me it reflects me in my life. You know being a

Joanna Tress:

mom. But being created in no circumstance can stop you from

Joanna Tress:

being who you truly were born to be. And she's a singer and

Joanna Tress:

songwriter from the from the get go, regardless of her background

Joanna Tress:

as Coal Miner's Daughter. So that's something maybe people

Joanna Tress:

don't know. Coal Miner's Daughter, whoa, wow, I

Howard Brown:

have to go rewatch it because I haven't seen it for

Howard Brown:

so many years. But wow, I didn't see that comment. So that's

Howard Brown:

exciting. Oh, God, but you saw her talent and it spoke to you.

Howard Brown:

And you emulated that and embraced it. So I actually

Howard Brown:

really love that. So I have to tell you that in getting to know

Howard Brown:

you, you try to help people make their dreams come true. Tell me

Howard Brown:

a little bit about the background. How does that work?

Joanna Tress:

Alright, so that is because many times you'll

Joanna Tress:

we're young, we have so many ideas, you know, what do you

Joanna Tress:

want to be when you grow up? A ballerina an astronaut, a

Joanna Tress:

fireman or scientist, right? So young people are encouraged to

Joanna Tress:

just say, hey, we can do what ever we set our minds to do. And

Joanna Tress:

the your creativity is nurtured in so many ways. Just the public

Joanna Tress:

school system alone gives you an opportunity to find out what you

Joanna Tress:

truly love and what you're good at and experiment and then go

Joanna Tress:

showcase it, we applaud them. But what happens when we get a

Joanna Tress:

little older, we get into our career we get into our

Joanna Tress:

relationships with nificant others kids come along

Joanna Tress:

responsibilities of adulting those bills the rent the

Joanna Tress:

mortgage, okay, wait a minute now? Are we still nurturing

Joanna Tress:

creativity, or always still nurturing or this artistic

Joanna Tress:

expression? For the most part? No. And we all know that most

Joanna Tress:

people have a story where they excelled and showed interest in

Joanna Tress:

something or passion and something earlier on in their

Joanna Tress:

life and go forth and fast forward 123 decades. Where is

Joanna Tress:

that? Where is that dream? Pillow hopes, dreams and

Joanna Tress:

aspirations. They are on a shelf somewhere gathering dust or in a

Joanna Tress:

box somewhere but you down the basement or just on the back

Joanna Tress:

burner of a broken stove of dreams. You know. So that's the

Joanna Tress:

reality for so many people they find themselves stuck and their

Joanna Tress:

reality. It's not the authentic reality. They're not being the

Joanna Tress:

person that they are really naturally He supposed to be that

Joanna Tress:

native creative, like a child with that curiosity and playful

Joanna Tress:

spirit, wanting to explore and just, you know, put a two year

Joanna Tress:

old play some music around a two year old, they're gonna dance,

Joanna Tress:

you know, it's a natural thing so that adulting

Joanna Tress:

responsibilities in our modern world often chokes that and

Joanna Tress:

suppresses it. And then you wonder why is there so much

Joanna Tress:

depression? Why are people so unsatisfied? Why are they? Why

Joanna Tress:

do they binge watching and binge listen and just consuming,

Joanna Tress:

consuming consume other people's creativity, instead of just

Joanna Tress:

naturally maybe producing their own, that is a problem in

Joanna Tress:

society that I would like to solve in my own small way.

Howard Brown:

You know, it's such a valuable point that you

Howard Brown:

make that we get into routine. And then you just can't get out

Howard Brown:

of that routine, right? You go to work, you're taking the kids

Howard Brown:

to soccer practice, you get home, they do their homework,

Howard Brown:

you don't have any time for you and your significant other, and

Howard Brown:

then the next day begins. And same thing. And, you know, we

Howard Brown:

live for those two weeks vacation a year, I have to tell

Howard Brown:

you, that's why a lot of people did the great resignation,

Howard Brown:

they're working from home COVID had us restricted and people are

Howard Brown:

now bouncing out trying to actually get out into nature

Howard Brown:

again, and vie with people again, and but they probably

Howard Brown:

have forgotten their little kid inside of them, that wants to be

Howard Brown:

the astronaut that wanted to be the artists that wanted to be

Howard Brown:

you know, a professional athlete, and those dreams are

Howard Brown:

good dreams, those are things to strive for. And, and we look to

Howard Brown:

not everyone likes to be a role model, but we look to others

Howard Brown:

that are excelling and role model. So that is really cool,

Howard Brown:

creative work to bring that outside of people that have

Howard Brown:

maybe lost it or forgotten about that. And there's some

Howard Brown:

similarities I'll draw because in my book, I call that

Howard Brown:

darkness. And in that darkness, that is the forgotten you, that

Howard Brown:

is the actual place of potentially anxiety and malaise

Howard Brown:

and depression and the stuckness. And I like you want

Howard Brown:

to bring people and bring their light forward, okay to be able

Howard Brown:

to share themselves. And so when you and I are, we are

Howard Brown:

synchronised, yeah. semis to motivate, educate and inspire.

Howard Brown:

So I that's, that's why I really loved it. So who needs this? I'm

Howard Brown:

gonna say everybody needs this. But tell me who to who needs,

Howard Brown:

who needs to actually bring that forth. Now,

Joanna Tress:

the people who know that something's missing.

Joanna Tress:

They have this nagging sense that there's something missing

Joanna Tress:

that they're supposed to do, that they want to do, and they

Joanna Tress:

actually want help. You know how Henry David Thoreau said in

Joanna Tress:

Walden Pond that most people live in a state of quiet

Joanna Tress:

desperation? Yes. You know, so that's what people are, they're

Joanna Tress:

quiet, they're desperate, but they're not really saying it,

Joanna Tress:

they're not calling out for help. They're not necessarily

Joanna Tress:

looking for solutions, or they've given up too soon. These

Joanna Tress:

are people where the, you know, the annual church pageant or, or

Joanna Tress:

karaoke or community theatre is just not quite doing it for

Joanna Tress:

them. Or they go to a little writing workshop at the library,

Joanna Tress:

but they don't have anyone to help them to stay accountable to

Joanna Tress:

their goals and dreams. So you look around what are the

Joanna Tress:

resources that are going to help me to actually live what's in my

Joanna Tress:

heart, to embrace that bliss, that I want to truly be happy.

Joanna Tress:

And when you notice there are a lot available. That's where we

Joanna Tress:

come in? Well, we have this five dimensional experience in

Joanna Tress:

creativity, just a couple of hours, two hours out of your

Joanna Tress:

life, you have a crazy, hectic, busy schedule, we're going to

Joanna Tress:

take two hours of time, to allow you to be in that sacred space

Joanna Tress:

of creativity. It's fun, it's relaxed, it's open, it's fluid,

Joanna Tress:

it's about getting energy. It's about building up the energy

Joanna Tress:

that it takes that inspires to creativity lets you know what's

Joanna Tress:

possible. We're going to meet you where you are right now. And

Joanna Tress:

help you to see what you can do. And you'd be surprised at how a

Joanna Tress:

childhood dream can actually come true when you're innovative

Joanna Tress:

and creative about the way that you bring it out. So you don't

Joanna Tress:

have to take lessons and to learn this and that. Let's see

Joanna Tress:

what we can do with what we have. And by creating a

Joanna Tress:

community of like minded and like hearted people. We're gonna

Joanna Tress:

help one another lift each other up and share to help make it

Joanna Tress:

happen for yourself. So who needs it? It is anyone who who

Joanna Tress:

knows that they need it. They recognise, you know, instead of

Joanna Tress:

being asleep, you know, they're actually awake. And they're

Joanna Tress:

looking, okay, I need some help. And then I want to, I want to be

Joanna Tress:

an answer to somebody's prayers.

Howard Brown:

Well, for I love that now say amen. But I want to

Howard Brown:

pull out one thing that you said, that's the heart of this,

Howard Brown:

you create a sacred space of creativity. And that's the

Howard Brown:

power. It's really powerful. And do you do this? I'm pretty sure

Howard Brown:

you do this for men and women. Also couples?

Joanna Tress:

Yes, absolutely. In fact, I've had several, I've

Joanna Tress:

had several couples have participated. They said, this is

Joanna Tress:

a great date night, they thought it was a fun date night, they

Joanna Tress:

got to know each other. Because when you're participating, this

Joanna Tress:

you're learning about each other, you might share something

Joanna Tress:

that your mate didn't even know was in your heart, it was an

Joanna Tress:

idea that you had. So it is Yep, it's for men, women, couples,

Joanna Tress:

whatever your background is, these principles can help

Joanna Tress:

everyone in whatever situation they are to get to the next

Joanna Tress:

level and see, well, what's next for me about truly embracing the

Joanna Tress:

happiness through creativity that I seek.

Howard Brown:

Right, so So let's dive into it. So the five, you

Howard Brown:

know, dimensions, okay, and I want you to take me through this

Howard Brown:

five step method and just choose it, you know, to tell me through

Howard Brown:

and tell the audience there have kind of what they would kind of,

Howard Brown:

you know, expect when they come join you and join this

Howard Brown:

community.

Joanna Tress:

Very good, very good. And so we use the

Joanna Tress:

principle of five in a number of different ways. First of all

Joanna Tress:

five dimensional, it means it's going to touch on all of our

Joanna Tress:

five basic physical senses. So of sight, touch, taste, smell,

Joanna Tress:

and sound, because that's a full body experience. So that's one

Joanna Tress:

way that we touch on, you know, five dimensionals. And, of

Joanna Tress:

course, is beyond the three dimensionals. You know, it's

Joanna Tress:

another way it has that bet, power that energy behind it.

Joanna Tress:

Now, with the five step system, we it has an acronym of start S

Joanna Tress:

T A R T, because the result is after you go through the five

Joanna Tress:

steps, you are ready to get something started. And we're

Joanna Tress:

gonna help you with that. So the first letter S stands for story.

Joanna Tress:

What is the story that you would like to tell? It could be

Joanna Tress:

something that actually happened, it could be something

Joanna Tress:

you learned about externally that fascinates you that you'd

Joanna Tress:

like to delve in and share and develop. And it could be it

Joanna Tress:

could be fiction, whatever it is, that's it, every art form

Joanna Tress:

starts with a story, it tells a story, whether it's a painting,

Joanna Tress:

or a song, whatever it is, so figure out what story you'd like

Joanna Tress:

to share. Then the T is the tableau. Tableau in theatre is

Joanna Tress:

sort of when everyone is frozen in time for a moment, you know,

Joanna Tress:

like this. Yeah. And then the narrator, maybe tell some

Joanna Tress:

background around me that Tableau because a tableau, it

Joanna Tress:

shows you what something looks like. So when you create a

Joanna Tress:

tableau sort of vision board sort of touch into that, this is

Joanna Tress:

what it looks like, this is what it sounds like. This is the way

Joanna Tress:

that I'm going to tell the story. I'm going to tell the

Joanna Tress:

story through a book, I'm going to tell the story through a

Joanna Tress:

ballet, I'm going to tell the story through a musical theatre

Joanna Tress:

production, you see, so you're gonna choose how are you going

Joanna Tress:

to share this story? It could be a piece of fashion, it could be

Joanna Tress:

a quilt, you see. So when you say no, what is it? What is it

Joanna Tress:

going to look like? What elements are we going to

Joanna Tress:

include? So that people will be able to see this message that

Joanna Tress:

the story has, that's what the T the tableau is. The A is an

Joanna Tress:

assessment of what you have to bring to the table to offer.

Joanna Tress:

What do you already have? In your head, in your heart? In

Joanna Tress:

your hands? What do you have to in your own skill set and gifts

Joanna Tress:

to us to tell this story? In the way that you want to tell it? So

Joanna Tress:

that's the assessment. Some people say audition? No, no,

Joanna Tress:

it's it's an assessment focusing on what you have. Not what you

Joanna Tress:

don't have not what you want, or wish you had. No, let's see what

Joanna Tress:

is now. The after the assessment, that's what we get

Joanna Tress:

into resources. See, I like to use illustration, if somebody

Joanna Tress:

wanted to be you know, a rock star playing that lead to car

Joanna Tress:

just sure and in that guitar. Yay. Yeah. You know, okay. And

Joanna Tress:

guess what if they can't even play one chord on the guitar,

Joanna Tress:

okay. But the thing is with the Reese versus if you want to tell

Joanna Tress:

your song your you want to tell your story? Well, you'll find

Joanna Tress:

somebody else who strikes that guitar, they're going to stand

Joanna Tress:

in for you, you're going to pose with the guitar, while you have

Joanna Tress:

the music in the background and you're going to, you're going to

Joanna Tress:

mind you're going to act it out, see, there's there are different

Joanna Tress:

ways doing it. So see, when we look at resources, you see, what

Joanna Tress:

group what producer, what, editor, whatever it is, you see,

Joanna Tress:

it takes time to do research, just like you do research. I

Joanna Tress:

love Howard, how you research your guests, you want to get to

Joanna Tress:

know us and share us you want to help us to shine brightly, I

Joanna Tress:

just love all the information you shared with me. And I was so

Joanna Tress:

touched by how you thoroughly looked at my website, right. And

Joanna Tress:

that's the same thing, being resourceful. That's something I

Joanna Tress:

have a background with journalism and research, you

Joanna Tress:

know, a lot of us have touched into research skills, you know,

Joanna Tress:

I was a virtual assistant, I'm gonna help you dig up some

Joanna Tress:

resources, I'm gonna help you think of some ideas that

Joanna Tress:

brainstorming of how we're going to take this dream and make it a

Joanna Tress:

reality. And then the T. Sta, RT is for trial, we are going to

Joanna Tress:

have a way of sharing this idea with the world in some form or

Joanna Tress:

fashion. In my intensive programme with daily

Joanna Tress:

accountability, it's six weeks, I promise, we're going to have

Joanna Tress:

something out there to share within six weeks. So that's it

Joanna Tress:

and put it together. And it's stucked, five steps to make that

Joanna Tress:

dream come true to embracing your bliss.

Howard Brown:

This is a great acronym. Oh, wow. I don't want

Howard Brown:

to give away the whole programme, they'll come seek you

Howard Brown:

out after what we'll find out. But that's beautiful. Thank you

Howard Brown:

for that. And taking us through start and to embrace the bliss.

Howard Brown:

It's It's terrific. So I guess my natural question is the kind

Howard Brown:

of What's your why you've chosen to do this now and to make

Howard Brown:

people's dreams come true. Why? Why do you want to do this?

Joanna Tress:

Because I know that there are people who are

Joanna Tress:

like me, I was my ideal client. Back when I was in my mid 30s,

Joanna Tress:

early 30s. I had the biggest gig of my life in 2005 when I was

Joanna Tress:

part of the opening act for air supply or the 70 supergroup on

Joanna Tress:

their 30th anniversary tour here it is 2023 Do you know they're

Joanna Tress:

still touring? Oh my goodness. But and I remember just at that

Joanna Tress:

time in my life, I had three children. I was divorced. I was

Joanna Tress:

struggling financially and even with my mental health because I

Joanna Tress:

wasn't being what? I'm supposed to be on Broadway, okay. I'm

Joanna Tress:

supposed to be writing, singing and dancing and acting and

Joanna Tress:

playing my music, you know, some piano chords, say my flute I was

Joanna Tress:

not really doing that I would do a little something. Something,

Joanna Tress:

you know, I was working through a ham radio station promotions

Joanna Tress:

and community things have these gigs, Wedding Singer, community

Joanna Tress:

theatre, etc. But you know, not to the full extent that I wanted

Joanna Tress:

to, and I felt alone. Where are the fabulous people? Hey, we

Joanna Tress:

Hello, where are you? I didn't see a place for me. I was in a

Joanna Tress:

relatively small town in Alabama at the time. And okay, sure, we

Joanna Tress:

can teach the kids. So I did. I've dealt with I've dealt with

Joanna Tress:

children, I've put on shows with children. But that was not where

Joanna Tress:

my heart was. Because I wasn't ready to finish my stories

Joanna Tress:

performer, pour into the next generation without fulfilling my

Joanna Tress:

dream and doing all that I could with my desires as a performing

Joanna Tress:

artist. So I felt alone, I would have really benefited more from

Joanna Tress:

a sense of community, and to have some guidance from someone

Joanna Tress:

who who was able to overcome certain challenges. So I did the

Joanna Tress:

work, the inner work, I read the books, I did the workshops, I

Joanna Tress:

had the therapy and this and that. And I realised Yes, I'm

Joanna Tress:

going to be the friend, the mentor, the coach, the can do

Joanna Tress:

the motivator, the inspiration to help someone deal with their

Joanna Tress:

circumstances and showing them what is possible, because I

Joanna Tress:

needed it and I'm paying it forward. And I don't see anyone

Joanna Tress:

quite doing exactly what I'm doing today. So there's a void.

Joanna Tress:

There's a place there's something where I need to fulfil

Joanna Tress:

it. And my husband, Matt, Matthew, the mat in Montana,

Joanna Tress:

Matthew and Joanna is Montana. You know, he's an ideal, you

Joanna Tress:

know, ideal client, you know, working hard for his family and

Joanna Tress:

And, you know, paying that child support, quote, taking care of

Joanna Tress:

his children. And for his he was divorced. And he went through

Joanna Tress:

all that, and he didn't get a chance to have his little

Joanna Tress:

outlet. You know, oh, once in a while, you know, he, he

Joanna Tress:

surprised his daughter, you know, by sewing up at the club

Joanna Tress:

with her and he's dancing, he's got the mic. He's a backup

Joanna Tress:

dancer and backup singer for the people in the wild, you know, he

Joanna Tress:

didn't get a chance to go out and get out and get his groove

Joanna Tress:

on. So I know that there are a lot of people like that they are

Joanna Tress:

looking for a solution. And a way to just express himself say

Joanna Tress:

yes to what you want to express is one of our programmes. And

Joanna Tress:

that's when there's a need for it. And I'm ready to fill in on

Joanna Tress:

paying it forward. And being the friend I wish I had at the time

Joanna Tress:

in my life.

Howard Brown:

I love it because you are filling an unmet need.

Howard Brown:

And the number one symptom coming out of COVID, loneliness,

Howard Brown:

loneliness, loneliness. So you are alright, well, let's roll

Howard Brown:

this thing forward now. So what's your vision? What do you

Howard Brown:

see yourself? Five years from now? Where is Joanna Tress five years,

Joanna Tress:

I want to have embrace your bliss retreats,

Joanna Tress:

Mat, Tanna, five dimensional experiences, where you're going

Joanna Tress:

to use a week of your vacation, and be completely immersed in

Joanna Tress:

create the creativity. And before you leave at the end of

Joanna Tress:

that five or six days, your your would have done something that

Joanna Tress:

you only dreamed you could do. We are collaboratively building,

Joanna Tress:

nurturing and going to make that dream come true. I have a vision

Joanna Tress:

of like band camp for grownups. I've even written a story about

Joanna Tress:

that, you know, so you have like the college kids in the marching

Joanna Tress:

band doing their summer bank and getting their marching band

Joanna Tress:

routine for football season. And they think their parents are

Joanna Tress:

just at home going, No, we're missing them. You know, a little

Joanna Tress:

did they know their parents are at the hotel on the other side

Joanna Tress:

of town living acted like they're in college. But alcohol

Joanna Tress:

is legal. And having a good time. And the parents get

Joanna Tress:

together a marching band routine, and come from the other

Joanna Tress:

side of the football field just crash when their rehearsals and

Joanna Tress:

they hear that cadence is that our rival band did our rival

Joanna Tress:

band come here and try to steal our routine? No, it's the

Joanna Tress:

parents getting down to the Bubba with that drum line and

Joanna Tress:

just blowing them away, you're gonna have a showdown, you know,

Joanna Tress:

you got to have the old school versus the new school. That's

Joanna Tress:

the type of thing so the retreats where you can actually

Joanna Tress:

just take that vacation all over the world, exotic places to get

Joanna Tress:

away from the mundane escape from from that life and have a

Joanna Tress:

moment to embrace your bliss, and to live that creative dream.

Howard Brown:

Alright, so I made up destination Hawaii, let's go

Howard Brown:
