@JoelECarlson – Thanks to both @moonandstaci for participating in this Dual Twitterview today. Have a great Friday and a super weekend!

@JoelECarlson – Hello everyone on this fabulous Friday! Lets start right away with the Twitterview of @NatalieAKane. On with the show! :)

Q – #1    So @natalieakane – Where did you grow up, and what were some of the step that you took to get to what you do for work today?

A:    I grew up in a suburb of St. Paul and started taking dance classes when I was 3. That pretty much set the stage (ha!)

I danced competitively f/ 6th grade thru to college & joined the Timberwolves Dance Team my sophomore yr at St. Thomas.

After 4 yrs w/ the Wolves, I decided to audition for the in-arena host. I got it along with @mikeryalnder.

Once I started there (& worked very hard) opportunities w/in broadcast began to present themselves and I never said no.

Now I’m with the Wolves, Fox Sport, Big Ten Network, CW, LTF Vision, KDWB, KFAN and various others.

Q – #2    Typically, people see 1 person associated with 1 brand/network. How were you able to diversify yourself?

A:    Freelancing is the future. It’s in your best interest to diversify as it will give you the greatest level of success.

The most successful ppl w/in the field today are working in mult mediums – Seacrest, Ellen, Rancic, etc.

Q – #3    As someone that is managing it successfully, what advice would you give to other freelancers in other fields?

A:    Be contractually bound to networks w/o exclusivity – become your own biz rather than an element of someone else’s.

Get a macbook

The key is organization and mentors. My dad is an entrepreneur and has taught me a lot about running your own biz.

I was only half kidding about the macbook :)

Q – #4    LOL! (re:Mac) Would you ever do a @BRAVOtv show about your jam packed life if they offered, or too much exposure?

A:    Absolutely! Reality TV can be tricky, but I think there’s a way to do it without overexposure.

If the show is about my work life, that’s the focus. Every1′s lives have many layers. U don’t have to see all at once.

Q – #5    Interesting! Now on to Social Media briefly. Which tools do you use, and who are some people that you like to follow?

A:    Twitter, Fbook, 4Square. I love @huffingtonpost, @thecurrent, @citypages, @louiseroe, @stephenathome, @lookbookdotnu

Q – #6    Now to your FAVS: Favorite – restaurant, store, place to travel to, summer activity and MN lake.

A:    112 Eatery & Cafe Victor, Covered & Planet Blue (LA), Rome or Paris, cabins, West Battle Lake.

Q – #7    Now how is your diet different than standard meat eaters?

A:    I’m a pescetarian. I occasionally eat fish & eggs, but no other meat. I’ve been this way for about 2.5 yrs and love it!

Q – #8    Interesting! Well, to end with today, what thought or mantra would you like to share with everyone?

A:    I’ve be subscribing to the idea of decisionless decision making lately. Don’t worry or make any decisions until…

…u have 2. U never know what answers will present themselves in the meantime. It’s the best way to enjoy the journey!
