2 Beers and a Podcast was a hit beer video show/podcast in which Mike and his co-host Brad would interview bar and brewery owners in their space about how they market their beer and the story behind how they got started, while sampling only 2 beers to not let the length get out of hand.
Bulb Brain Gallery was how this whole Bulb Brain thing started. It was a type of passion project for head brain Michael to share art with the world via Instagram and an in person small storefront at Anderson Galleria to help inspire other’s to create their own art. Unless you really know what you’re doing, art’s a tough business and this led to Mike helping businesses with their visual branding/content creation/social media.
Braintrust Networking is the bi-monthly (twice a month) networking meeting started back on the 2nd coldest day of 2019 at a local Portage Park restaurant called Fannie’s. Unfortunately that place is no longer there and the format switched to zoom, but we kept it going through the pandemic. It has a mastermind style approach, where the members mostly know each other so instead of introductions and thank you’s we focus more on problems and accountability that the business owners want to work on. We’re still open to outside presentations so reach out if you have a presentation you’d like to give.
How to Succeed During a Pandemic was a weekly radio show created during the ‘famed’ covid pandemic. A show formed in a time of crisis to help people understand the absurdity of it all. With host Wendy Lalli and produced by Michael Rataj of Bulb Brain Creative, it’s a 15 weekly radio show on 216thenet.com and visual show on the youtube channel.
Braincast, the video show/podcast started in 2018 featuring head brain Michael Rataj and sharing some of the interesting stories of people he met while networking. Every story is so interesting and some of these conversation were 1st run ‘coffee meetings’, where instead of sitting down for coffee solo, Michael would film the conversation as an interesting piece of content for both parties to share.
Vlog Brain is a mostly day in the life style video project that head brain Michael Rataj does when other projects aren’t happening. It’s mean to hone his film making skills and as a basis for remembering all the fun and random places he visits and plays with his band, as well where he networks, who he meets and other grandious life questions. There’s no real schedule to these and sort of pop up when he needs additional video content.
