8THIRTYFOUR Blog: Taylor + Disney+ Taylor swift dancing by a disney logo

Taylor has done it again, but this time with help from Disney. 

For all those who are not totally obsessed with Taylor Swift (It’s me, hi. I’m a top 2% fan on Spotify in 2023. It’s me.), Taylor released The Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) on Disney+ on March 14. If you are thinking, what is Taylor’s Version craziness? First, where have you been the past two years? Second, just read this

The reason that it’s so exciting to watch Taylor’s Eras Tour (Taylor’s Version) on Disney+ is that previously, you had to spend $19.89 (a genius amount as it is referencing the 1989 album) on streaming channels to watch the movie, but now it’s included in your Disney+ subscription and features new songs that were not in the original film shown in theaters (literally could write a separate blog post about the strategy behind releasing the films in this way…again Taylor being a Mastermind.) 

What makes this even better is that Disney+ has organized its movies to match each era of Taylor’s albums

So, if you are looking for Cinderella, you will find it under the Midnight’s album or The Little Mermaid under 1989, as that is the year it was released. What makes this so amazing is that Disney understands their Swiftie audience. Swifties love a good reference to Taylor, and this is the perfect way to launch what will be one of the biggest spotlights of Taylor’s career, which will be watched millions of times for years to come. If you are scrolling on TikTok or Instagram today, Swifties everywhere are sharing Disney+ organization with an overkill of excitement. So not only are Swiftie’s rushing to Disney+ to watch the movie, they are sharing their experience all over social media. 

If you are not jumping on the Taylor bandwagon, that’s fine, but don’t expect it to go away any time soon. With Taylor’s new album, The Tortured Poets Department, being released on April 19, having her “Taylor Swift” and “Reputation” albums yet to be released as Taylor’s Version, and many more concerts to take place, this craze is not going away anytime soon.

Something on Your Mind?

If you ever need proof that personal brand matters...Kim got to see the @nasaartemis II launch in person as a direct result of her Big Deal Energy™. 

You need to work hard, show up authentically, and provide value. That was her message to a room full of students and young professionals at @western_michigan_pmi's theProject Collegiate Competition. 

The Big Deal Energy™ Workshop is on June 23. Register at the link in bio.
Employers think Gen Z is lazy, entitled, and will quit the second things get hard. That perception is keeping you out of the room before you ever get a chance to prove otherwise.

The good news is, you can flip the script, but it will take some serious work and a personal brand, or as Kim Bode refers to it: Big Deal Energy™.

Kim is speaking at theProject™ Collegiate Event, hosted by the Project Management Institute Western Michigan Chapter on April 14. She'll cover how to build a personal brand that actually sounds like you (not ChatGPT) and how you can show your value through social, content and networking.

No one talks about how lonely it is to own a business. The tough decisions land on you, the business doesn't pause when you need a break, and nobody - not your employees or your spouse - really gets it. 

If you know a business owner, tell them they're doing a good job. It matters more than you know.
The growth stage is the hardest part of building a business. 

Kim was recently quoted in @corpmagazine on what she sees running the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship: women who have built something, survived the hardest part, and are still doing everything themselves. The natural tendency to be humble and attached to their work creates unique business challenges for women; they put up walls because they can't be vulnerable. 

Meanwhile, when a woman CEO needs growth capital, she compiles three years of tax returns before a bank will schedule a meeting, while her male competitor closes the same deal over drinks.

When women have access to the right resources, they grow and invest back. Full article at the link in bio.
