We were lucky to catch up with Blane Charles recently and have shared our conversation below.
Blane, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s jump to the end – what do you want to be remembered for?
Everything that I do, every action that I take is rooted in my commitment to a more peaceful world. My number one priority is creating value in any given situation. I hope to be remembered for being a ray bright light that pulled others out of a dark place and restored hope in the depths of their souls! I want to be a reminder that not matter the deck of cards you were dealt, you always have the choice and the power to turn your poison into medicine!
As always, we appreciate you sharing your insights and we’ve got a few more questions for you, but before we get to all of that can you take a minute to introduce yourself and give our readers some of your back background and context?

“At BCD (BlaneCharlesDesign) we’re all about commitment to our clients well-being. “I HAD IT IN ME, BUT BCD BROUGHT IT OUT! Establishing relationships that endure the test of time is numero uno! To my client’s children, I’m know as ‘Uncle B!’ But, now they’re having children of their own and it’s all so wonderful. During a visit to Helena’s mother on the upper westside., we realized that it was on the eve of the Blue Moon in July 2015, while house sitting to oversee the installment of the heated wooden floors in Fallsburg, that my daily Vlog ‘LIFE!’ (LivingItFiercelyEmpowered) was born. And I’ve been sharing discovered tidbits of wisdom & inspiration daily ever day since.
How did you build your audience on social media?
Diligence is numero uno! And work with young people. I enrolled my Niece and her brilliant mind. Rule number one stay focused on your brand and what it provides. Always keep your viewers engaged. Show them what sets you apart and makes you special! And take time to disconnect and reconnect with self. I engage my audience Monday thru Friday:
• Motivational Mondays with BCD
• Transformation Tuesdays with BCD
• What to Wear Wednesdays with BCD
• Throwback Thursdays with BCD
• Flashback Fridays with BCD
People respond to your voice! The difference in views is huge. So try to engage live with IGTV YouTube Podcast to name a few options.
And social media platforms are FREE!
What do you think helped you build your reputation within your market?
“Put your signature on everything that you do!” These words from my father echo in me to this day. Taking pride in everything that I do and being a good listener is paramount! I’m all about the feeling because at the end of the day, that’s what the client remembers. How did you make them feel? And at BCD we are all about celebrating the person in front of us.
