ML271: Jodi Krangle (Voice Actor & Leader)

by | Aug 22, 2022 | Branding Leader | 0 comments

Jodi Krangle’s voiceover journey began with singing —since around the time she started talking. Music has always been a way her family connects. When she was little, her dad would pull out his trusty guitar and her mom would sing to her sister and her at bedtime.

Fast forward to 1993. Through gaming (Dungeons and Dragons, to be exact), she was introduced to “Filk” music—the music that’s played at science fiction/fantasy conventions. In 1994, she joined two friends from the fandom world to form an acoustic band called Urban Tapestry. In their time together, they’ve headlined at music conventions in Canada, the U.S., and Europe.

Her first voiceover work was in 1995 when she spent a year in a volunteer position with the Canadian National Institute for the Blind (CNIB) creating books on tape. And by tape, she means real “tape.”—reel to reel, baby. Several years later, she took the leap to venture out on her own, and boy, has it been rewarding.

Jodi has done voiceover work in the healthcare, corporate, hospitality, political, and non-profit sectors, among others. No matter your specific need, know that she’s a reliable partner in your business and she provides super quick turn-arounds – because she knows how fast your business moves. Her number one goal is to make you look good!

ML269: Edward Tyson (Leader & Author)

“Every step on the journey from expert to executive leads away from your craft. This sentiment is easier to grasp than embrace; and neither grasping nor embracing it is a requirement for reaching the rank, responsibilities, or rewards of an executive.” – wow, a powerful start to an impactful book. 

Today’s guest, Edward. E. Tyson is a former strategy executive and Marine turned executive coach and organizational consultant. He is also the CEO of PerSynergy Consulting and the best-selling author of From Expert to Executive: Mastering the ABCs SOPs of Leading – the book I just read from moments ago. From Expert to Executive is a business fable about the transition from subject matter expert to enterprise leader. More than just a story about some struggling scientists at a biotech firm, it introduces Ed’s LeadershipSOPs framework and methodology which encourages leaders to develop and deploy personal standard operating procedures for structuring, operating, and perfecting their communities of effort.

Before founding PerSynergy nearly 10 years ago, Ed accumulated 20 years of leadership experience in a range of military, non-profit, private, and publicly traded organizations. He received his bachelor’s degree in philosophy from Pennsylvania State University, and earned his master’s degree in adult organizational development from Temple University.

Ed was born in Camp Hill, Pennsylvania but now resides by the sea in San Clemente, California with his wife and the youngest of his two sons.
