SPIRIT MEDIA- Emmy-Nominated TV, LIVE & Virtual Event Director (Over 10K Productions), Video Producer, Marketing Strategist, Author / Trainer: 7DRM-The 7 Disciplines of Relationship Marketing, NDE & Leadership Speaker❤️

On January 28th, 1999 while on a flight to Nashville, I died… and it may have been the greatest thing that ever happened to me. 

For over 30 years, I’ve worked as a television and live event director with global icons like the Black Eyed Peas, Gwen Stefani, Maroon 5, Kenny Chesney, and visionary producers like Mark Burnett (Survivor, The Voice, Shark Tank). 

I've partnered with world leaders and Fortune 500 brands — but everything changed after my near-death experience.

From that moment, Spirit Media was reborn.

Now, we harness the power of video and LIVE event production to move hearts, inspire action, and transform lives with award-winning storytelling experiences. 

What we create:

🎬 Brand Films • Explainers • Investor Videos

🎬 Live & Virtual Events • Fundraisers • Capital Campaigns

🎬 Sales Kick-Offs • Award Shows • Speaker Coaching

We’ve helped clients raise and generate hundreds of millions — all by strategically blending the power of story with a heart for genuine relationships and lasting impact.

Additionally, I am the author of 7DRM- The 7 Disciplines of Relationship Marketing.

ARE YOU LIVING THE REBIRTH STORY?

No matter what circumstance led you here, there comes a moment of awakening.
A quiet realization that says:

I’m beginning again.

It’s a rebirth.

And in every rebirth, there’s discovery.

❤️ There’s also resistance.

❤️ Obstacles.

❤️ Discomfort.

Because transformation is never easy.
It begins with the honest recognition that what you’ve been doing no longer works—
and the courageous willingness to embrace what does.

Why?

Because somewhere deep inside, you believe you were made for more.

Are you living the rebirth story?

Every great story of transformation starts here.

And great leaders don’t avoid transformation—they embrace it.

If you’re in the middle of that process, my hope is this:

🎬 Learn your story

🎬 Own it

🎬 Lead from it.

I believe in you!

With Much Love – Bill ❤️

WHAT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST CHALLENGES MOST BUSINESSES  FACE TODAY?

A quick evaluation of even the social media world will reveal a sea of faces that tragically feel like a sea of strangers. 

🎬 Who can you trust?

🎬 What problems do they solve? 

🎬 How can they really help you?

🎬 What is the lasting difference they can make in your life and business? 

In this short interview with the incredible Rachel Beck, I share my television and entertainment story and the day of my sudden death. 

And in that moment, death gave me a front-row seat to life’s greatest truths—truths that reshaped my life, leadership, and business forever.

With Much Love – Bill ❤️

LESSONS FROM MY DEATH — PART 1
YOU DON’T HAVE TO DIE TO WAKE UP

I wish everyone could die and come back because it would change the way you live forever.

Good news… 

You don’t have to physically die.

Because there are many kinds of death—and chances are, you’ve already experienced one:

The death of a career.

The death of financial security.

The death of a dream you once believed in.

So the real question isn’t whether you’ll face loss.

It’s this:

How do you rise in the face of it?

Stop running.

Stop wearing the mask.

Stop borrowing someone else’s purpose.

Stop pretending that you never had a dream.

Because you are here for a unique and powerful reason.

The question isn’t whether your dreams are possible.

The question is whether you’re willing to remove what’s been blocking them.

The most powerful version of you hasn’t disappeared.

It’s been waiting—quietly—for permission to emerge.

This is your wake-up call.

And if you want to witness what an awakening looks like, join us Wednesday, 1/28 at 1:00 PM Pacific, and hear Rachel Beck’s powerful comeback story.

Are you ready for your great awakening?

I believe in you!

With Much Love – Bill ❤️

What is worth giving your life to?

Every great story has a QUEST.

It’s the search.

The sacrifice.

The decision to commit to something bigger than comfort or applause.

This is bigger than you and that’s why it is so important.

The Quest story is timeless.

It’s woven into every great narrative:

❤️The courage to believe

❤️The willingness to persist

❤️The resolve to face obstacles—and even your own demons

No one else can define your quest.

This is the journey that you must choose for yourself in the quiet conviction of your deepest passions, hopes, and dreams.

And here’s the insight most people miss -

THE POWER OF THE QUEST ISN’T IN REACHING THE DESTINATION.

It’s in who you become along the way.

I used to resist that idea—“It’s all about the journey.”

But when it comes to the quest… It's true.

Because what you become in the journey is, perhaps, the greatest reward of all.

Is your brand story driven around the quest? And what is that quest?

THE ULTIMATE COMEBACK WITH RACHEL BECK AND BILL DOLAN

EVERY SUPER HERO HAS ENEMIES — AND SO DO YOU.

But here’s the truth most leaders miss…
Your greatest enemies aren’t “out there.”

They’re hiding inside YOU. 

When I served on the board of the Stan Lee (architect behind Marvel) Foundation, we were reminded of Stan’s famous moto: 

“Inside every flawed human being is a superhero waiting to emerge.”

But you and I will always face the challenges of rising to our greatest calling…

🎬 Confusion.

🎬 Fear.

🎬 Distraction.

🎬 Chasing someone else’s version of success.

🎬 Living in the echo chamber of lies that rob us of our true identity and story.

Every hero’s story has a moment where clarity is lost 

— where purpose feels blurred 

—where momentum stalls.

And that’s not failure.

That’s a wake-up call.

❤️ The call to rediscover who you are.

❤️ The call to reclaim your story.

❤️ The call to lead with meaning and purpose.

In the FREE Discover Your Brand Soul Webclass, I’ll help you identify what’s been quietly working against you — and show you how to realign your brand story, your purpose, and your direction so you can move forward with clarity and confidence.

The same way Stan Lee taught us the journey of the superhero, I want to help you discover and tell your superhero story to the world.

WHO WERE YOU BEFORE YOU LEARNED TO CONFORM AND PERFORM?

Deep within every human heart lives a simple, powerful desire:

to love… and to be loved. 

But somewhere along the way, that desire gets distorted.

In a world overflowing with false promises, we’re handed a script that says our value comes from what we add— and slowly, quietly, we begin to disappear.

We suffocate under the weight of:

🎬 Titles

🎬 Tactics

🎬 Costumes

🎬 “Easy buttons”

🎬 Expectations

🎬 Possessions

🎬 And the facade of whatever we believe will make us acceptable

Most leaders don’t lose themselves overnight.

They drift—one compromise at a time.

And here’s the truth most people miss:

The path to rediscovering who you truly are isn’t about addition.

At its heart, it’s about stripping away the lies we’ve been fed.

If you’re ready to reclaim your true identity and story…

Realign your purpose…

And live a story rooted in truth—not the pressure to perform—

Join me for the FREE DISCOVER YOUR BRAND SOUL WEBCLASS

IS YOUR BRAND STORY ABOUT OVERCOMING THE MONSTER?

Every great story has one.

Something big.

Something dark.

Something terrifying.

Sometimes it’s obvious — an external threat, a market shift, a crisis, a competitor.

But more often, the real monster lives inside.

Fear.

Trauma.

Self-doubt.

The voice that says you’re not enough.

That’s why the Overcoming the Monster story resonates so deeply.

Because it isn’t about being fearless.

It’s about choosing courage anyway.

When your brand story is about overcoming the monster, you’re not just sharing what happened — you’re revealing who you became in the process.


That kind of story:

❤️ Builds trust

❤️ Creates differentiation 

❤️ Establishes relationship
❤️ Creates emotional connection

❤️ Signals real leadership

I’m here to help leaders and organizations:

🎬 Identify your monster story.

🎬 Clarify your courageous transformation.

🎬 Celebrate your journey into a brand story that moves people.

So if your story includes fear you had to face…

If there’s something you had to overcome to become who you are today…

Let me help you tell it!

I believe in you!

With Much Love – Bill ❤️

On Jan 28, 1999, I died. And death gave me a front-row seat to life’s greatest truths that transformed my life, leadership, and business. I came back with a message that inspired me to write The 7 Disciplines of Relationship Marketing and launch the Discover Your Brand Soul Masterclass.

DM me—I'd love to share what I learned and explore what could change your life and business and help you to make a lasting impact in your market. ❤️

YOU WANT TO HEAR A CRAZY STORY?

If you’re new here—or we haven’t crossed paths in a while—there’s something you should know.

My story is so unlikely that sometimes I still shake my head in amazement.

I grew up an only child with a father who loved me… but was tragically abusive.

I learned early how dangerous words could be.

So I hid—in my bedroom with my television—trying to drown out voices that could have destroyed me.

That’s where I found refuge and inspiration.

GREAT STORYTELLING.

Without knowing it, I was learning how stories heal, how they give meaning, how they help us survive.

That skill shaped everything.

For decades, I built a career in television and entertainment—directing global artists like Gwen Stefani, the Black Eyed Peas, and Maroon 5, while collaborating with iconic leaders such as Barbara Corcoran, the President of the United States, and the creative minds behind Survivor, The VOICE, and Marvel Studios—all at the highest levels of media and brand storytelling.

Eventually, that work led to founding Spirit Media, where we help startups, nonprofits, and Fortune 500 companies generate extraordinary growth—sometimes in the billions.

From the outside, things looked very successful.

But I was genuinely struggling because my “success” turned me into an absentee father and husband.

Then everything changed.

I DIED.

Literally.

That death experience didn’t just give me a second chance at life—it completely rewired how I define success, leadership, and purpose.

When I came back, I was left with one unavoidable question:

If I’ve been given more time… what am I supposed to do with it?

That question became my assignment—and it reshaped everything that followed.

I’M BILL DOLAN—CREATIVE DIRECTOR OF SPIRIT MEDIA, AUTHOR of The 7 Disciplines of Relationship Marketing, AND CREATOR of the Discover Your Brand Soul Masterclass.

We help business leaders, entrepreneurs, and marketing professionals uncover their true story—and tell it in a way that is:

🎬 Compelling

🎬 Memorable

🎬 Meaningful

🎬 Trust-building

🎬 And makes people want to support you, invest in you, and work with you

We do this through consulting, cinematic storytelling, and producing exceptional live experiences.

Since my death, I’ve made a clear decision:

❤️ To only work with leaders and organizations who want their work to matter

❤️ To help people build success that feels aligned—not empty

❤️ To turn story into lasting impact
CAN WE HELP YOU TELL YOUR STORY?

With Much Love – Bill ❤️

MAKING A TON OF MONEY WILL BRING ME FULFILLMENT.

Not exactly. 

Confession time.

After I died, I went deep into studying purpose, mission, happiness, and fulfillment.

Here’s what surprised me:

People with money are often happier.

Security matters.

Autonomy matters.

Options matter.

Money reduces stress and increases choice, and that absolutely affects happiness.

But here’s the distinction most people miss:

Happiness and fulfillment are not the same thing.

Happiness is like a thrilling ride at an amusement park.

It’s fun. It makes you laugh.

But when the ride stops, you’re standing in the same place you started.
Fulfillment is different.

Fulfillment is a deep, steady joy.

Not a dopamine hit, but a sense of purpose and meaning that carries you through both the highs and the lows.

One of the clearest ways to see the difference is what I call the Eulogy Test.

When you leave this world, what will people talk about?

Your balance sheet?

Your tax bracket?

Your résumé?

Or the lives you impacted?

The relationships you honored?

The way people felt because you were in their life?

We’re all investing every day.

The real question is which account are you building?

You can be a millionaire or a billionaire and still live a life marked by sacrificed relationships in pursuit of trophies and titles.

You’ll get plenty of dopamine-fueled happiness along the way.

But no gravestone is big enough to compensate for a transactional life.

So let me ask you:

Have you traded fulfillment for happiness?


I believe in you!

With Much Love – Bill ❤️

IT TOOK MY DEATH TO DISCOVER MY PURPOSE BUT I CAN TEACH YOU HOW TO DISCOVER YOURS IN 1 MINUTE. 

Life is like a river and if you don’t learn how to navigate it, you don’t just drift…

You risk getting stuck — or worse, swept over a waterfall you never saw coming.

Here’s what I’ve learned after my death and decades of coaching leaders and builders:

MOST PEOPLE PRAY FOR A MAP.

But purpose doesn’t come with step-by-step directions.

THAT PRAYER IS ANSWERED WITH A COMPASS.

In my FREE Discover Your Brand Soul Webclass, I’ll teach you about the Clarity Compass— a simple but powerful way to uncover clarity by aligning three guideposts already present in your life:

❤️ Passion — what moves you (and why passion alone isn’t enough) 

❤️ Aptitude — what you’re naturally wired to do (but could be a trap) 

❤️ Experience — your life experience has refined you but it can not define you

When these three come into alignment, something shifts.

🎬 You stop chasing. 
🎬 You stop guessing. 
🎬 You start leading from clarity, confidence, and conviction.

YOUR REAL PURPOSE IS ABOUT TO BLOW YOU AWAY!

Join the FREE Live Discover Your Brand Soul – Webclass Wednesday, January 14, 2026 1:00 PM Pacific / 4 PM Eastern

STOP. READ THIS TWICE.

EXECUTION WITHOUT BRAND CLARITY IS SELF-DECEPTION.

If you missed my webclass yesterday here’s the recap:

🎬 You can be busy every day

🎬 You can post nonstop

🎬 You can launch, relaunch, and optimize

And still be running in circles.

Because movement doesn’t equal progress or impact.

And effort doesn’t always equal meaningful results.

Most leaders don’t fail because they lack talent, discipline, or drive.
They fail because they skipped the hardest part:

BRAND CLARITY.

Personal or professional.

🎬Clarity about your purpose. 

🎬Clarity about your message.

🎬Clarity about your missions.

🎬Clarity about who you’re actually called to serve.

When clarity is missing, we live in a frantic scramble to chase dollars, trinkets, and trophies (often times over meaning).

This is why so many leaders feel anxious.

Ask yourself:

❤️ Am I clear—or just busy?

❤️ Am I aligned—or just reacting?

EVERY MEETING IS A MORAL CONTRACT.

The most valuable thing someone can offer you isn’t money.

It isn’t attention.

It’s time.

And when someone shows up for a meeting…or walks into an event…or logs on and gives you an hour of their life—
You don’t own that time.

You’ve been trusted with it.

Which means you carry a responsibility to transform their time.

And return it to them infused with value.

With meaning.

With clarity they didn’t have before.

When leaders default to unnecessary meetings and uninspiring events, they’re not just being lazy.

THEY’RE STEALING.

Because wasted time is costly.

So, if you’re looking for a meaningful resolution…

🎬 Respect the gift of time.

🎬 Elevate each moment.

🎬 Return their time with interest.

Honoring the moral contract of time is one of the greatest gifts that leaders can give. 

I believe in you!

QUIT GETTING IGNORED.

Everyday, the world is filled with mushy, insignificant, forgettable messaging that flies by as fast as a TikTok scroll.

This works if all you want is for someone to look at you for a wasted second.

This does not work if you actually want to be meaningful, memorable, and establish an authoritative brand

Here’s the recipe to change that:

🎬 Eliminate preoccupation with tactics and trends.

🎬 Be cautious not to let Ai represent you like a bowl of tasteless oatmeal.

🎬 Discover your own true voice.

🎬 Learn how to tell your brand story.

🎬 Become the charismatic expert that tells your story well.

🎬 Keep telling your story but remember …

YOUR AUDIENCE WILL LISTEN ONLY IF YOU TEACH THEM HOW TO CHANGE THEIR STORY.

That’s what we do at Spirit Media.

Whether you want to grow your market or change the world, we can make that happen for you.

Are you tired of being ignored?

I believe in you!

ARE YOU MINING THE GOLD IN YOUR STORY?

Most brands tell us what they do.

Very few tell us who they have become—and why that matters.

Here’s the difference.

A powerful brand story isn’t about noise, tactics, or clever taglines.

It can be about your voyage and the revelation that emerges from that experience—like Dorothy going after something over the rainbow.

And just like every great story:

❤️ There’s a moment when you sense there’s something more.

❤️ You step into uncertainty.

❤️ You face obstacles, doubts, and hard lessons.

❤️ And you don’t come back the same.

❤️ You encounter new understanding.

❤️ You see things differently.

And who you become is a central brand message.

The magic isn’t the destination.

It’s the perspective you gain.

🎬 That’s what creates trust.

🎬That’s what creates leadership.

🎬 That’s what creates a brand people can relate to.

🎬 That’s what creates a brand people can believe in.

Whether your story is a voyage and return, a great quest, or overcoming something that once felt unbeatable—

YOUR TRANSFORMATION STORY IS GOLD.

When your story is clear, your brand stops chasing attention—

and starts attracting alignment.

If you’re ready to mine the gold in your story—
Let’s talk.

I believe in you!

With Much Love – Bill ❤️

💥 The Top 5 Trends Reshaping LinkedIn in 2026 💫 

If LinkedIn feels harder than it used to, lower reach, fewer quality conversations, or content that no longer converts, it’s not your effort that’s the problem. It’s the landscape. LinkedIn is evolving fast, and what worked yesterday is no longer enough.

↳ Each trend includes clear actions you can implement this week, not theory or guesswork.

The Top 5 Trends Reshaping LinkedIn in 2026!

“The only way to do great work is to love what you do.”
  
– Steve Jobs

Too many people settle for good enough.

But great work?
That comes from energy. Obsession. Purpose.

Here’s why loving what you do isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s your competitive edge:

1️⃣ You produce higher-quality work because passion fuels excellence
↳  You care more. You go deeper. You bring ideas to life in ways that obligation never could.

2️⃣ You stay motivated and resilient through challenges
↳  Hard days don’t break you.
↳  They sharpen you.
↳ Because your “why” is stronger than any obstacle.

3️⃣ You attract aligned opportunities, clients, and growth
↳  When you show up with genuine energy, people feel it.
↳  Passion is magnetic, and it draws the right people toward you.

💡 Love your work.
Or keep searching until you do.

👉  P.S. What’s one thing you love about the work you do?
