Life Changes Show Guest, Tyler Bel May 05, 2025
Adventurer, Futurist, Gamification AdVenturist

Tyler Bel, an early technology adopter, grew up as a visual and performing artist who always knew that she would end up working with digital leaders and innovators as well as the entertainment industry.

Her drive and discipline first led her to join the Marine Corps after college, where she pursued foreign language and communications. After her tour, she went on to use her newly honed skills in the most creative ways she saw possible: sales, marketing and advertising.

Her ability to effectively convince and influence buyers and consumers led her to Portland, OR, where she found her initial niche working in Broadcast Television as an advertising coordinator at CBS. Tyler saw opportunities where many did not, and found that her creativity and passion for business development led to a position as Executive TV Producer.

Soon enough, her energy and initiative led her to branch away from traditional models and launch her own production company as well as digital agency. Even though her passions for technology and entertainment were being met, Tyler found a higher calling in helping advance people’s dreams.

Miss Bel found herself becoming the “conduit to the people you need to know where and when you need to know them,” which catapulted her to develop her own consulting firm, There Is No Sky. Her philosophy is based on the realization that there are no limitations to achieving your goals if you have the right mindset, strategy, access,and relationships.

Now that Tyler Bel has grown her experience through advising others, she plans to utilize her expertise in branding, communications, business development as well as interpersonal relationships to create a gamification blockchain venture of her own.

Her affinity and facility for AI,innovation, decentralization, intuition, and collaboration lends her to being an asset and strategic partner for any organization looking to gain a competitive advantage.

Life Changes Show Guest, Rush Dorsett May 05, 2025
Operatic Soprano, Singer, Songwriter

Rush Dorsett is a Voice Coach, Sound Healer, and Performing Artist who supports ambitious creatives in awakening their authentic voice, embodying their power, and freeing their self-expression through her EmbodiedVoice® method.

What lights her up is seeing her clients connect with the power of their authentic voice, release fears around self-expression, and find freedom and joy in their voice!

She received her Masters degree in Voice Science and Performance from New England Conservatory, her B.A. in Psychology and Music from Washington University in St. Louis, sound healing certifications from the Divine Resonance Center in Asheville, NC, and she is also a certified YogaVoice®️ facilitator.

She is passionate about sharing sound healing, music and voice work as tools for self-realization.

My approach to voice facilitation:

Inspired by my training in both Systematic Vocal Technique (SVT) and the YogaVoice® method, I take the ‘elements’ of bel canto vocal technique (including onset, registration, resonance, messa di voce, etc), and apply those elements to the chakras, or energy centers in the body. I listen for the elements in a person’s voice that are strong, and also the ones that need balancing.

Often, rather than correcting an imbalance with a vocalise, I’ll have the person connect with their body through a chakra-balancing posture or embodiment practice. This allows the mind/body system to rediscover its own authentic balance first, and then the elements of healthy vocal function are restored as well. The result is free, authentic singing and speaking, and a healthy connection with one’s voice.
