In the last few months, listeners and podcasters alike have been given a rare glimpse into the business side of big-time podcasters.
Between Joe Rogan taking a $100-million dollar licensing deal in his Spotify move to Joe Budden documenting his divorce from the same platform, we're finally starting to learn some concrete methods on how the biggest creators in the game are treating contracts, ads, and expectations. Add on the drama behind 'Call Her Daddy' and the hosts' battle for IP and we have a good look into where podcasters of all levels should place value.
In this show, I'm joined by Badr Milligan of The Shortbox Podcast and Al Pete of Mister Peterson's Neighborhood to discuss our takeaways from the listener's perspective as well as what lessons we'll use for our own shows moving forward.

TikTok’s rise in popularity isn’t without controversy.
Some of that worry has been orchestrated by other big tech jealous of that growth
Others are worried for more geopolitical reasons.
But for a lot of creators, like myself, Tiktok has been far and away the most enjoyable app in years.
Especially during COVID--where it forced me to learn video editing on the fly and challenge myself on a new platform.
I’m not alone as the app has skyrocketed in growth--and because the company’s owner, Bytedance is located in China, that obviously creates some issues like getting banned by the US government.
So as content creators what do we do? How do we protect ourselves and the content we’ve spent a lot of time and energy on? Listen to the latest episode as host Blythe Brumleve dives into the strategies.

A lot of projects were put on hold during the Covid quarantine. And while the lockdowns forced me to throw my 2020 content plan in the trash--it led to a new opportunity that seems to be evolving daily.
Listen to the podcast I recorded to help launch Freight School Playbook--a membership community to help overwhelmed entrepreneurs, marketers, and sales departments in the trucking and logistics space by providing courses that cut through the digital media noise.
Naturally, with any fluid project, there are already improvements being made to the platform--which has resulted in the need to re-record the launch materials. But we do this for good reason as we've got to include more educators excited to share their expertise with the transportation world.

If you're in business or sales, you've likely experienced an event/conference being outright canceled or turned into a virtual event.
And while many of us roll our eyes at the mere thought of attending another Zoom call--the truth is virtual events are here to stay.
So how do we make them not suck?
In this episode, I'm diving into the key takeaways of what makes for a great virtual conference or event so you can apply those tips to your own meetup without, ya know, breaking social distancing rules. For my logistics people, if you participated in Freightwaves Live at Home event, you know exactly what I'm about to discuss.

Everyone knows the restaurant industry is currently in shambles with the on-going drama from the ‘Rona. This global pandemic has left thousands--possibly millions--without the income they’re used to earning by waiting tables and serving drinks.
As an 8-year FOH worker who waitressed at many restaurants, golf courses, bars, and events, I can tell you with confidence the skills I learned while waiting tables help me run two businesses and several side hustles.
In this show, I break down those 4 skills that hopefully will inspire my fellow SIN workers to either continue their path in the industry—Or to find a new career to fuel their passions.
About This Show:
Bonjour with Blythe covers the wins, losses, and lifestyle around being a present-day entrepreneur.
Contrary to popular belief, freelancing and entrepreneurialism are not all working out of coffee shops and taking insta-friendly vacations.

Running into a creative block is a given with most career choices. But trying to overcome a creative block while you’re dealing with uncontrollable global stressors like COVID19?!?! That just seems like the cruelest double whammy–which most folks are dealing with right now.
Suffering through it myself, I wondered how are creative blocks started and how can you move past them?
I share some tips on how I’ve been coping with overworked stress + global pandemic stress to work past my creative blocks in hopes it might help anyone else facing this same conflict.

Tips + Links Mentioned During the Video
BONUS TIP: Invest in a Project Management Tool
Something I've mentioned on previous shows is using a project management tool like Monday.com. I use this tool daily and would not be able to handle as many projects and freelancers as I do without it. It's an essential part of my workday but as with any new software tool, it's essential to know a loose plan of what you're work processes look like. Then and ONLY then will a new tool like this be able to help.
They even have some great templates to get started such as managing your team remotely with the added bonus of free accounts to all nonprofits during this Coronvirus pandemic.
SUPER BONUS TIP: Get Educated
The best answer to a growing panic is to get educated. Don't be like those anti-vaxxers you read and shake your head at on Facebook. Instead, hear from medical professionals who have studied infectious diseases their entire lives like Michael Osterholm who was a guest this week on Joe Rogan.
Watch the entire thing and encourage all of your friends and family to do the same. Then stay updated with the latest news and health advice from one of the best channels on YouTube, Healthcare Triage.
In January most of us are excited to get those New Year's goals going but are you staying dedicated or have you fallen off? I'm gonna share some tips on how I'm going to keep on track after slipping for a bit.
I'll also go into why you may want to hit pause on purchasing any new software and spill some truth about content marketing.
