Welcome to the show, Julie Ann. I’m thrilled to be having this conversation with you today.
Julie Ann Meyer (02:38)
Well, I’m thrilled to be here. Thank you for the invitation.
Megan North (02:41)
You’re very welcome. It’s funny, it’s been a little while since, you know, we’re into season three of the show. But I kept thinking, “When’s going to be the right time to have you on the show?” It just worked out perfectly. And actually, this is the second time around that we tried to do this.
Julie Ann Meyer (03:02)
Yes, second time around. Thank you.
Megan North (03:05)
It’s lovely to have you. Let’s dive in. Can you share with us the defining moment that led you to pursue this true passion and purpose, this journey that you are now on?
Julie Ann Meyer (03:20)
You know, I’m really glad that you specified “this journey” because I’ve been on so many, and my true purpose is to have fun and create impact. I’ve done that in so many different ways. But this, in particular, was universal. It was like the universe was calling me in to do this. I had been fighting it for I don’t even know how long.
To be totally honest, I was really good at being in the health and wellness sector and working in that capacity. But then all of a sudden, every single door just kept shutting, and every single door of media kept opening. And I thought, “OK, universe. I’ve got you. I hear you. I will follow.” Ever since then, everything has sort of taken off, and I’m in flow again.
It makes life a lot easier if you’re not trying to paddle upstream the entire time.
Megan North (04:19)
Yeah, absolutely. And it’s really interesting because when people talk about their passion and purpose, I love that the word “flow” does come up. When you lose time, and when you lose track of time, that is when you’re in flow.
Julie Ann Meyer (04:36)
Exactly. I’ve experienced it in different ways, but with this particular venture working in streaming television, it’s on my mind all the time. Not in an annoying way, it just sits there in the background. Like, “How can I create this?” or “How could I create a better experience for a host?” or “How could I create more income doing this?”
All these different things are always running in the background. So for me, that’s flow, and fun, because it isn’t work in the traditional sense.
Megan North (05:13)
Yeah, absolutely. And I think it’s really interesting when people are thinking about their passion and purpose. One of the things I work with my clients on is: is it a hobby, or is it really your passion and purpose? Because something that is a hobby, sometimes people think, “I’m going to turn it into something that is going to bring me income,” but then they lose the love of it because it has that mindset shift.
Julie Ann Meyer (05:39)
Mm-hmm. You know, I’m glad that you brought that up because not everything we do for fun is intended to be what we do full-time. And I literally said this on a call with clients earlier today: “You are exchanging your life for this. You better make sure it’s worth it.”
Most of the time, we should be having as good of a time as possible. But sometimes we confuse something that we enjoy as something more than that. Really, it’s like going to Disneyland every day. You don’t want to go every single day. It’s fun every once in a while, but not every day.
Megan North (06:22)
Yeah, yeah. I love that. And it’s so funny you were saying that to your clients this morning. So very on point. How did the opportunity for you to be Co-CEO of E360 TV and then ARION TV come about?
Julie Ann Meyer (06:39)
Well, it’s one of those things. It was interesting because I was working, I had my first TV show, and it was called Own Your Wellness. I had a base audience of 200,000, which is really phenomenal. But I was bored. I kind of outgrew it. It wasn’t really who I was anymore.
My business coach at the time said, “Why don’t you teach people how to do what you do?” And I thought, “You know, that’s a really good idea.” So I created a program to teach people how to have their own show and how to monetise it.
All of a sudden, Erin, who is the founder of E360 TV, reaches out to me and says, “Hey, Julie Ann, have you thought about having your own network?” And I thought, “Well, if I’m teaching people how to do this, I should have a place to put them.” And so that’s how ARION came about, through that.
Then I was really successful in bringing on new show hosts. In fact, I outdid E360 TV as a whole, as my one person. Eventually, Aaron reached out to me again and he said, “You know, I’d really like for you to be the president of E360 TV instead.”
And I said, “This probably sounds really bad,” but I said, “I was waiting for you to ask me.” And I really was. It wasn’t like, “It’s about time. Don’t you see my magnificence?” It wasn’t that. I could feel it on the way.
