Business RPG

Opportunities come when you sit down and start something. That is one of the biggest lessons I have learned from doing this podcast and from starting a business. That is also one of the biggest takeaways I have from this interview and the guest that we have today.

Brian Rathbone is a professional fantasy author who has successfully navigated a pathway to growing his audience and selling his books across multiple platforms and mediums. To put it simply, he has hacked the book publishing industry.

I have been trying to have an author on the show for a while and I was delighted when I met brian and came to learn he was dnd nerd...who just happened to have written a top-selling fantasy series, The World of Godsland. He now helps other authors and publishers figure out what they want out of writing their books helps them make a plan to achieve those goals.

His career as a professional writer has taken him and his business to many different places, which is part of why I am so excited to have him on.

Creativity and Community are important for any niche, but that goes double for Twitch streamers. I enjoy having successful streamers on because each one has a story of how they got to where they were and how they built their community that they have now. I learn something every time.

Today's guest is one who has been successfully doing both. Meet Nick, aka HeyItsMeSalty. He is a chef, gamer, streamer, and marketer. Listen to hear how he levered cooking into a successful twitch stream

"Your network is your net worth" - Tim Sanders

Have you considered what Discord can do for your network? Are you wanting to grow an organic community? Do you need someone to help you set that up?

I am excited to introduce you to Zepheric, a Discord Producer who has been helping streamers set up and maintain quality discord servers so that they can keep building their communities even after they turn off their streams.

This was a very valuable interview for me, I was super pumped to learn more about discord but also I didn't know just how much I was missing out. Tune in to learn what it is that Zepheric does as well as his thoughts on Discord.

Can you get by on passion alone if you want to be a professional nerd? Does passion pay the bills? Do you just talk about it being nice if you do your hobby full time for a living or do you live it?

One of my favorite industries in Nerd Culture is D&D. And I use the word “industry” intentionally. Its a very big cultural phenomenon that I think has a lot more potential then what has been explored so far, even in the face of Covid and the thousands who have been introduced to it during the course of the past 2 years. I dont view it as just a medium of entertainment but I see it as an avenue where a business can thrive and creativity is rewarded beyond any other field or niche that I know of.

So, it is no wonder that I get excited whenever I have an opportunity to talk to today’s guest who not only sees the potential this industry offers, she actually is doing something about it beyond what I see most people do.

Today we are going to hear back from Joanna from D&D research Wizards! She has been on the show a couple of times before and I will have links to both of those episodes in the show notes below, but I was able to invite her on (with very short notice by the way) and ask her to talk about how the research has been going and get her perspective on the field. 

Follow them on instagram @Research.DnD, and check out their website here.

Check out their work with Cartographer, the Augmented Reality solution to playing D&D online  @Cartographr_AR.

Episode 7 - D&D Research and The Power of Referral
