Balance the Darkside
December 22, 2023 20:00 - 43 minutes - 30.1 MBCosplay has its dark side - believe me. And if you don't, then in today's episode, you can hear it from Anthony Cosjitsu, as he returns to chat with me all about the depths that some go to inside of the community. Cosplay is and should be a positive space, but we know that with anything there can excess, anxiety, competition, cancel culture, and poor behavior. We talk through the ups and downs that we have experienced ourselves and the best approach to navigating the sometimes murky chara...
Take These Steps - Season Finale
December 06, 2023 12:00 - 16 minutes - 11.2 MBThere are steps you can take in Cosplay, or anywhere. I'll take the time in this season ending episode (at least, standard episodes coming out regularly), to tell you what my process is. - Decide on the thing in one of the areas you’re working to fix, my 5 are Environment, Physical and Mental well-being, Finance, and Relationships. - Write down the thin you want changed most and just write about it – what frustrates you, what do you believe you’ll get when you’re done ch...
FOCUS is a cliché, but it does work.
December 05, 2023 12:00 - 9 minutes - 6.48 MBFollow One Course Until Success. Stay the course – small corrections as you learn, but you do learn, and you can see results – giving up is the only issue – but if you agreed to the ‘what is it going to take’ part, then you’re in charge of when you quit.

Doing Hard S**t
December 04, 2023 12:00 - 8 minutes - 6.09 MBThe hard things we do – belief, consistency, skill building, failing, improving, and having a very solid goal will always pay off in some way.

Advice on What People Pay You For
November 29, 2023 12:00 - 12 minutes - 8.44 MBSelling yourself as the product to a fan is unsustainable and only works short term – you create more anti-fans in the process – focus on what’s sustainable – keep your distance if this is what you want. It doesn’t scale like a product or service would – make the thing – video series, book, mass produce patterns, entertain, but don’t sell friendship. Find the product or value-add service that you can provide to your audience. There are many inside of cosplay. Find us online: https://www.h...
Personality is an Easy Sell
November 28, 2023 12:00 - 7 minutes - 5.43 MBJust because you exist, doesn’t mean anyone owes you and it really isn’t a good reason to pay you – skills, knowledge, experience, expertise – sell that and use your personality to sell it. Chose ethical money making – coning people, pandering to likes, feigning interest and leaning into obsession – all dangerous. There is inside the community a slippery slope. Make sure you want to jump in to this when you do, and understand what it will lead to. Find us online: https://www.heroesofcospl...
Becoming What You Hate
November 27, 2023 12:00 - 7 minutes - 5.45 MBRemember, you started this because you wanted to be with the people, not high above them – celebrities never interact, and when they do we go crazy – but this isn’t how it should be for us in Cosplay – we’re not Hollywood Actors... Non-response, never interacting – it’s not social – if it’s just to talk about the next thing you’re doing and you ignore your best people because you’re always busy chasing more new people – see what you’ve become, know it's not the right course to take. Find u...
Avoid the Main Cosplay Traps
November 22, 2023 12:00 - 11 minutes - 7.98 MBThere are a few Cosplay traps that we haven't talked about yet - more to do with cosplayers supporting cosplayers or those outside of the community who think they're doing the right thing by over-extending themselves to buy other people Cosplays. Do not become a “Fan” and carry a torch – have friends, collabs, but do not de-value yourself into having someone be above you because they can model, or act, or are designers. There are many skills – you need to put yourself first in your own li...
Do Not Set Traps
November 21, 2023 12:00 - 9 minutes - 6.58 MBDo not go to Cons just to con people. Do not hustle to see what you can get for free. Diminishing the community, your value, and only seeing others for what they make and how many followers they have reduces you. Avoid being the gatekeeper, or the cosplayer that bait and switches everyone for some personal issue that isn't being addressed within yourself.

How Cosplay Traps You
November 20, 2023 12:00 - 6 minutes - 4.53 MBThe fame monster is real and cosplayers chase it. Eventually it traps you and you're just as stuck in your online world and it's customer service as you were when you were answering the phones at work and getting yelled at by customers. You begin to feel trapped. Staying relevant, getting validated, feeling the good and bad of it – dopamine either way and that rush is what got you into your scroll hole, your outreach loop, your constantly being attached to your phone. We crave attention, w...
Authentically Fake
November 15, 2023 12:00 - 11 minutes - 7.95 MBAvoid the authentically fake influencer, cosplayer, or person. Also, don't become this person. Selling and promoting the "fake" life on Instagram just leads to so many issues with yourself, with your following, and eventually - unless you have a PR department - it comes back to find you. You can't sustain a "fake" persona unless it's all you do and that is your life. Being a persona or a public figure who shares nothing of themselves online might be what you want to be or do, and that's you...
Cosplay at Face Value
November 14, 2023 12:00 - 10 minutes - 6.99 MBDo you have Con Friends? The people that only talk to you because you go to conventions and might see them there with their other friends? They might talk to you online, but ONLY about cosplay and they seem like they'd not even bother with you if you weren't gaining followers week by week? Maybe they just want to use your platform to gain more Insta-fame or for some other made up 'clout' metric. Who knows? But we do need to talk about Cosplay at face value and when to support the full...
Everything in Cosplay is based in Fiction
November 13, 2023 12:00 - 9 minutes - 6.77 MBWe’re only showing so much of ourselves, and that self is based in fiction – graphics, effects, quotes – it’s all made up so that you like it. Going overboard with "fake" – beyond makeup into alteration for validation and so much lack of authenticity in just being what you THINK you have to be in order to gain attention. You use terms like 'higher self' to describe what you do in order to 'fit in' to the online world, but in doing so, you can lose your audience, your friends, your sense of ...
Consequences of Keeping Your Job
November 08, 2023 12:00 - 13 minutes - 9.24 MBIs there a downside to keeping your regular job when you gain some ground in the cosplay community? The short answer is yes, but there's just so much pressure to be in the space and be "the best" or rub elbows with celebrities, or get the best deals as an influencer with name brands. Whatever put that into your head, let's try and unpack it and have it make a little more sense for the casual cosplayer.

It's OK to Have a Job AND Cosplay
November 07, 2023 12:00 - 8 minutes - 6.19 MBCosplay doesn’t need to be your full time thing – you don’t need to run a business small or otherwise - you can just enjoy being a cosplayer. Despite the online world and the pressure it places on you to make money as a cosplayer and an influencer, take a step back and think about how Cosplay can be fulfilling without being your full-time all-in career.

Cosplayers and The 9 to 5
November 06, 2023 12:00 - 8 minutes - 5.78 MBBeing independent can make you really dependent. Everyone idealizes the "ditch the 9 to 5" without really telling you how hard things are to replace when you do. For someone starting out, it might be a little easier, but for all cosplayers - listen in before you decide that jumping out of the corporate life and into entrepreneurial dress up adventures, consider what doing part time can mean for your overall stability.

Just Do Cosplay Less
November 01, 2023 11:00 - 12 minutes - 8.88 MBThere’s a difference between laziness and doing less – create space for creative ideas and projects. When you're just rushing and freaking out to get more content up to produce more reactions, you're not in a very creative space. Pick your battles and focus your time – relax and do. It's not a race, and it's certainly not a rush. Never feel like you HAVE to cosplay – especially if it’s just a hobby – you don’t have to market yourself. Find us online: https://www.heroesofcosplaysanctuary.c...
The Productivity Trap
October 31, 2023 11:00 - 13 minutes - 9.57 MBTime is your most precious resource – don’t waste it just to increase metrics. Being productive is great, but is it always necessary and what good is always checking off boxes if the boxes being checked don't move you towards anything. You just keep treading water in the Cosplay world.

Do Less More Often, Cosplayer
October 30, 2023 11:00 - 9 minutes - 6.84 MBJust keeping busy isn’t the answer. Constant scrolling, fear of sitting still, fear of being passed up or passed by or just...in the past - obsolete seems to wear on us as adult cosplayers. You can actually do a lot less and receive far greater gains and productivity out of what you do. The problem is that when you constantly push and grind, you're doing it from a weak mindset, and one which doesn't allow you to push into creativity - very much necessary for Cosplay. All this week, I'm ...
Get Off The Soapbox
October 25, 2023 11:00 - 12 minutes - 8.92 MBYou can have an opinion, but if it’s not part of what your brand is about, then…it needs it’s own space. Don’t hide behind the causes and injustices. Save your energy for the battles that matter, not an ongoing never ending battle against ideas. Listen in and see if what we're talking about today is a soapbox in and of itself.

Is This Why You Built Your Platform?
October 24, 2023 11:00 - 12 minutes - 8.59 MBThe confusion about sales and marketing online and inside cosplay can lead to More followers – more justification – more arguing – more deciding who is right and who is wrong. It can get really political and have nothing to do with Cosplay at all - it can have a lot more to do with gaining ground on a free to use platform (mostly...free to use). Today let's think about the real reasons why you came to build this photo and video sharing page for Cosplay. Find us online: https://www.heroeso...
Everyone Online Has an Opinion
October 23, 2023 11:00 - 8 minutes - 5.6 MBCosplayers get on soapboxes. It happens. Cancel culture – you’re against it…so why are you on a soapbox? In this episode, we're going to talk about Cosplayers getting outside of cosplay and using their platform to discuss topics for which they may or may not have much information and facts to discuss, but form an opinion and use their following to change belief and values.

Disciplined Approach to Cosplay
October 18, 2023 11:00 - 9 minutes - 6.7 MBThere's a method and a formula to making your budget work for Cosplay. There is a definite discipline when looking to invest into yourself and into Cosplay. It's an expense. It's not always necessary to gain something or break even on a Cosplay hobby, but one thing you do not want to do is go into debt just to try and compete with the mainstream cosplayers out there.

Cosplay Economics
October 17, 2023 11:00 - 13 minutes - 9.38 MBAnyone? Anyone? Cosplay Economics. The rising costs of well...everything...have made it more difficult than ever to break in and create anything in the maker space. Our hobbies are usually the first thing to go. Let's break from that mindset and see exactly what you need to do to scale, maintain, and work towards the most important return there is in cosplay - being happy with what you're doing.

The Most Expensive Hobby Ever
October 16, 2023 11:00 - 8 minutes - 6.01 MBCosplay is expensive in every way – it takes its toll on YOU, not just your finances! We spend on so much just to learn how to do something that makes our need to dress up like our favorite fandom come true. Of course we don't stop there - it's a whole platform and feels a lot like a business, being in the public eye, an influencer, a creator, and a Cosplayer. Let's talk about the Cost of doing Cosplay this week. Find us online: https://www.heroesofcosplaysanctuary.com/ Find the Sanctuar...

October 11, 2023 11:00 - 9 minutes - 6.5 MBAI has a chance to take over the online space, and render all of us creators obsolete. We can use tools to enhance our platform, and there are some really awesome solutions coming our way. The trouble is, being stubborn, and rejecting the changes could lead to becoming irrelevant in a space that wants to jump to the cutting edge to get more and more content to larger and larger audiences. You want your creations - digital or made - to be seen. If you're a maker - be a maker. You can lever...
Digital Cosplay and ChatGPT
October 10, 2023 11:00 - 8 minutes - 5.99 MBAre we reaching a time when AI will replace cosplayers in the digital space? Can you be replaced by a computer that can produce content faster, appealing to more people, cheaper, and without any real cost? That's what we're talking about in today's episode. There's nothing to fear - AI can do many things, but the maker space looks to be here to stay. There is an online shift coming, but let's talk through how it will enhance your Cosplay platform, not diminish it. Let's see how you can lev...

October 09, 2023 11:00 - 5 minutes - 4.09 MBHas ChatGPT taken over for Cosplay? It can certainly be helpful. It can do a lot of the thinking for you. Many say it is dangerous and progressing at a pace we can't comprehend. AI is here to stay, Cosplay. This week we're exploring the benefits of using AI as a cosplayer and what you may still want to avoid or think about in the future as tools like ChatGPT begin to take over many of the tasks involved with creating an online cosplay platform.

Regaining Balance
October 07, 2023 15:00 - 53 minutes - 36.5 MBWe are back in this episode with Anthony Cosjitsu covering many of our favorite things. Today's focus is on how to balance your group photoshoot. There's A LOT that goes into bringing together a group of Cosplayers to focus on a major shoot and many aspects that you might not have through about. Arranging a shoot for you or for a team-up can be easy and fun - most Cosplayers and photographers are used to the set ups, the time involved and scheduling is much more coordinated with only two or...

Remember when your parents didn't want anything to do with the new "whatever it is" that was playing in a commercial during your favorite cartoon? Being relatable, authentic, and true to yourself - it's what there is inside of Cosplay. Pick what resonates with you, not what you believe needs to be promoted based on pop culture and current trends. That's great if you're an influencer, but wha...
Nostalgia Sells in Cosplay
October 03, 2023 11:00 - 10 minutes - 7.43 MBRemember when – all the things you grew up with...they’re still selling it to you. You're still buying all the things that you enjoyed as a child. Still. You can get something that plays Atari games. You can buy models and replicas of your favorite cartoons from your earliest days. You can feel all the feels and connection and buy everything all over again - cosplays included. They are playing to your childhood – it’s been profitable. We're talking about next gen concerns on adoption ...
Cosplayable Characters
October 02, 2023 11:00 - 6 minutes - 4.74 MBSometimes the main characters aren’t the Cosplayable ones – it’s those with impact – visually, in the story – this is storytelling. This is the industry using different ways to market to you something that you can find obscure in the fandom and embrace it. Often the Cosplayable characters in a movie or fandom aren't those the fandom is known for - and we gravitate towards them. Let's talk about the Cosplay shelf life and the characters that we keep coming back to in this space. Find us...
The Cure for Cosplay
September 27, 2023 11:00 - 11 minutes - 7.88 MBHow do I validate my being in the Cosplay space, and do I? External validation will drive you crazy. Trying to manifest what you want will drive you crazy, because at it's core, it's a form or external validation - you're looking for an outside source and you're trying to will it into existence. Instead, work on what you want to because it gives you a sense of completion or progress. Don't do it for the unknown and often upset masses. Find us online: https://www.heroesofcosplaysanctuary....

September 25, 2023 11:00 - 13 minutes - 9.31 MBMarketing ourselves is insane in terms of Cosplay or anything else .

Not in a sense that they're not allowed to cosplay, but in the sense that we compare ourselves to others, that we want more for ourselves than we do others, and that we feel like we're not enough because of all the models and actors in the space online that are leapfrogging all of our efforts as normal humans engaged in an online hobby.

Why did you decide that this was the only way for this to go? What unwritten rules are you following and why are you following them. Does anyone enforce the rules or is it really a free for all?

September 12, 2023 11:00 - 9 minutes - 6.31 MBIt’s just customer service you don’t get paid for. Why are we online to justify and argue? Opinion as fact. What kind of followers are you looking for and what’s the end goal? Popularity, money – know what you’re doing and why and then think about all the work you’re creating for yourself.

I Am a Cosplay Failure
April 30, 2023 17:00 - 8 minutes - 5.95 MBDo you feel like you’ve failed? Not enough engagement on posts. Not enough new followers. Cosplay didn’t work out quite the way you wanted. You weren’t noticed as much as you wanted to be at a Con. Collabs are being cancelled. Endorsements are passing you up. Lots of things can go wrong with Cosplay, but a lot can go right. When I look at what I’ve done in terms of Cosplay, I do often feel as though I’ve failed. But, I look at what I’ve been able to do with the skills I’ve built, and I...
