Two weeks ago, immediately after I got home from spending over five weeks in Italy I headed right back to the airport less than 12 hours later to go to the Financial Bloggers Conference in St. Louis. Now, I had a ton of jet lag and the day next was a blur, but was excited about FINCON for a few reasons.

Even though I don't write about personal finance anymore, FINCON was one of the first conferences I attended as a blogger and have quite a few friends that go.
This was my first solo speaking gig at a "blogging" conference (I'll be sharing the video of this when I'm able to in mid-December).
I always love conferences. Something about them reenergizes me to keep pushing forward when I get back to work.
Anyway, during the conference I had the chance of recording a "live podcast" in front of an audience and since Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income, guest number 5 of the Cubicle Renegade podcast, was there giving the opening keynote I figured this would be a great opportunity to have him share some more of his story.

It is really easy to see where someone is now, successfully running a profitable business, and to assume they've never made any mistakes. The truth is, everyone makes mistakes. The difference is that successful people learn from them and move on quickly to trying something new.

In this episode of The Cubicle Renegade Podcast I'll talk with Pat Flynn about some of his biggest mistakes over the last five years of building an honest online business, plus what he has learned from them.

#24: Pat Flynn's Biggest Mistakes

Routines.

Love em or hate em, you've got em.

In this session of the Cubicle Renegade podcast we're going to take a look at the power of routines (both in negative and positive ways) and give you a few tips for creating better routines in your life.

#23: Routines & Habits

On today's session of the Cubicle Renegade podcast I'm joined by Paul Jarvis, a web designer and author. In this episode we talk about how he went from working at a design firm to freelancing and how all his clients followed him.

We also talk about why he doesn't follow what other designers are doing around the web, books himself as a client to work on personal projects, and what matters most about the design of your website. He also gives a ton of insight into how to work with a designer on a website or work with a client if you are a designer.

On today's session of the Cubicle Renegade podcast I'm joined by Josh Kaufman, the International Best-Selling author of The Personal MBA and The First 20 Hours (which comes out this week). We talk rapid learning, whether or not you should get a traditional MBA, and how many years he blogged before he actually earned anything sizable from it.

#21: Rapid Learning, with Josh Kaufman

On today's session of the Cubicle Renegade podcast I'm joined by Andy Traub, the host of the Unofficial Linchpin Podcast and author of The Early To Rise Experience: Learn to Rise Early in 30 Days. We talk self-publishing, why you should give away your book for free to anyone that wants it before you launch, how to get a bunch of reviews on Amazon, and why waking up early can make a huge difference.
