Don't have time for video or a podcast? This week's lesson is: find a group of like-minded people and split the work.

This month we interview 5 veteran bloggers (and FinCon attendees) who shared the workload to create a live video show, recorded it for a YouTube channel, then used the audio as a podcast.

Their podcast, the Money Mastermind Show, is currently #3 in the iTunes "New & Noteworthy" section.

How did they split duties? How hard was it to create the video? How do they decide on topics? How does the technology work? We cover all of that and more with three of the participants: Glen Craig, Tom Drake and Miranda Marquit today.

....and as if that weren't enough, Beverly Harzog (author and BeverlyHarzog.com) and Rob Berger (Doughroller and the Doughroller podcast) share their take-aways from last year's FinCon. They have some great stories about how they've implemented several of the ideas they learned.

Eric Rosenberg details Ignite FinCon for us. PT and Joe share news about the Plutus Awards, speakers and much, much more.
