Entrepreneur Perspectives

In this Content Marketing Series episode on transcending metrics, we hear about the profound impact that podcasts can have on individuals' lives, far beyond entertainment or education. This individual found solace and transformation in podcasts during a critical period of his life. We explore the resonance of shared experiences and the power of storytelling. The encounter with a podcast episode that mirrored this individual's own struggles with social anxiety and suicidal thoughts highlights the unexpected ways in which content can touch lives. This episode reflects on the broader implications of audio content, including podcasts and audiobooks, and their potential to offer hope, foster connection, and even save lives. It's a testament to the value of creating and consuming content with the potential to impact profoundly, reminding us that the true return on content can transcend any measurable metric.

Thank you for listening to this episode, "Transcending Metrics."

More about this episode:

The guest, Mark Metry, shares a story of listening to The Tim Ferris Show when Tim Ferris talked about being suicidal in college — Mark, at the time he heard that story, was suicidal in college. Listening to this episode and thousands more changed Mark’s life — saved Mark’s life.

Sometimes, you don’t know how the content you consume will impact you–or how the content you create will impact someone else. It’s simply not all about the return you can spreadsheet. Sometimes, it has nothing to do with the return. And sometimes, the return is far greater than anything you could have ever imagined!

The act of creating content changes lives — it’s one thing for us to say as maybe we’re biased. But for someone else to say it from their experiences, we listen. That’s exactly what we talk about in this Content Matterz episode.

Mark Metry, an important voice for social anxiety and mental health was a featured guest on the Entrepreneur Perspectives podcast. You can listen to both his episodes here:

Social Anxiety, Bullying, and Meditation

How Podcasts Saved My Life

We also featured a segment from these podcasts on how “podcasts saved his life“.

We’re obviously big believers in content creation so hearing this story about how creating content changed Mark’s life had us nodding along and listening. Because it’s true — creating content changes lives. I talk about how reading, writing, and listening had an impact on me before, during, and after building KazSource (and still today).

You don’t know how the content you create will benefit you–or someone else. It’s something you can’t measure. And sometimes it has nothing to do with any sort of measurement. And other times, the measurement is far greater than anything you could have ever imagined!

In this Content Marketing Series episode, we explore the powerful role of content in spreading hope and making a positive impact. The discussion revolves around the journey of creating meaningful content with a greater purpose, highlighting the initial reluctance to add another website/podcast/blog to the internet. The narrative shifts to the realization of the importance of sharing messages of hope, driven by faith and the desire to inspire others. This episode underscores the significance of content that goes beyond business, aiming to uplift and motivate a community of leaders and listeners toward intentional action and shared learning.

It's time for some "saving"! In this episode, our (this really has nothing to do with the Metaverse) co-hosts" save you from yourself. That's right. It's time to call out not only that ridiculous statement from your friend (or ahem, co-host), but also on yourself. Yes, you heard us. Say something, maybe even believe it, and then think, you know what, no, I'm calling myself out on that one! It's okay. You are allowed to be wrong, you are allowed to change your mind, and you are allowed to correct yourself. You simply cannot know it all. So do it, call yourself out. It's freeing. It's refreshing. And it's the right thing to do. You're welcome!

Also in this epic episode, we discuss:

• Rick Rubin and Pharrell getting deep
• The terrorist attack on Israel

A conversation with a minimalism entrepreneur, Jermane Cheathem.

Topics Discussed in Minimalism, Embodiment, and Right Now:

• Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club: "The things you own end up owning you. It's only after you lose everything that you're free to do anything." -Brad Pitt's character
• Matthew McConaughey on getting rid of minors so he can focus on majors | Ryan Holiday TikTok video

• Minimalism in Entrepreneurship | The less is more philosophy
• Embodiment through podcasting and conversations
• Giving time to the medium of podcast | How a podcast conversation allows you to tap into the power of now

Jermane uses the world as his office. Traveling, exploring, and working on his time. He helps all kinds of entrepreneurs scale their businesses by copying his simple model. More than that, Jermane is an individual focused on the present moment. And a conversation with him (or listening to him) will surely give you the audacity and freedom to choose what you want to do.

About Jermane Cheathem: From an outsider’s perspective, I was “successful” with a great life but I was dying inside because I hated working for someone else and building their dreams. I was ready to start building my own dreams. So in 2016, I started my own Equipment Finance company from scratch, without employees or money. And now, I live each day on my terms – traveling around the world, working when I want, and loving it. After 18+ years in the industry, I’m here to teach you everything I know, so you can speed-track your way to success. Creators Learn Website

In this Content Marketing Series episode, the founder of a national landscape/tech company talks about how your content production return on investment (ROI) is not as simple as breaking out your Apple iPhone calculator and adding up and subtracting a few numbers. In fact, as this founder says, you can't always close the loop on your ROI.

Your benefit on your Content Production Return on Investment might be in the form of personal gain. It might be an indirect relationship formed. It might be the opportunity it generates. It might be the goodwill created. It might be a client or employee retention benefit. It might be a recruiting tool. It might be fun. And yes, it might even be a leading sales driver.

In this episode, you will hear the line: “You are either contracting or expanding, and sharing my philosophy, beliefs, and strategies on podcasts keeps me closer to the point of expansion.”

Welcome back, fellow Saviors! This is the shirtless man episode -- and that we can only explain in this crisp-sounding audio. We can tell you it's an episode where we question time, media, politics, rainwater, driverless cars, and nunchucks. It's a guide to reality really, so you'll want to listen.

1. The Pulse of Creativity: Eric introduces us to "The Creativity Act" by Rick Rubin. And Jared enjoys every second of it! We get into the heart of content creation, the evolving relationship between audiences and media, and the undeniable influence of social media on basically everything.

2. Politics & Critical Thinking: From the current state of politics (not good!) to the importance of critical thinking, our hosts don't hold back. In an age of information overload, where do we draw the line?

3. Time as a Construct: We take a philosophical detour, questioning the very nature of time. Is it a construct? A reality? Or something in between?

4. Arizona Chronicles: A tale of Arizona's overrated water woes, unpredictable rain patterns, and a quirky driverless car story that might just make you rethink that next road trip. Jared has a lot to say about water. It's one of those things that enrages him.

5. A Walk Down Memory Lane: Eric gets personal, recounting a chilling episode from his 8th-grade year. It's a tale of resilience, growth, and the shadows of the past. Starter jackets and nunchucks. And Jared is ready to go back in time and save his co-host from the inevitable beatdown!

6. College Mandates: The return of COVID mandates in colleges sparks some eye rolls. Are they necessary? Overkill?

7. All About Sports: From the new NFL Sunday Ticket on YouTube TV to the brawls in NFL stadiums, it's a life-saving dive into the world of sports. And let's not forget a spotlight on the future of soccer in America and the enigmatic Baker Mayfield.

8. And More: CNN Max, Tucker Carlson, media headlines, Elon Musk, what is good art...
