My podcast update, March 2021.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

Let's talk podcasts, shall we?

Currently, I have three different podcasts that I'm hosting. Probably some others that I'll be taking part in as time goes on. But right now I'm hosting three different ones.

I'll go through them and kind of how we came about developing each one, and where they're at now, where am I going next.

Now, why would you watch this?

You want to watch this because I want you to think about where you're at?

Do you have a podcast?

If not, should you have a podcast. And we've talked a lot on this show about podcasting about the abilities, developments in podcasting, how anybody can really start one, it takes very little.

You can watch some my other videos concerning that. But I'm going to tell you a little bit about the history.

Maybe you can see where this can fit in with your life, either. Even if you don't host one where you can get one to one. And now I'll show you some opportunities that I have that you may be able to come on one of my shows.

So originally, the whole podcast idea came out from a lack of public free content that I had available out there, I wanted to be able to set myself up properly in the eyes of prospective clients in the future.

What I was coming across over and over again, was a lack of initial trust, just because there was so little out there about me, purposefully, I was trying to keep it as closed in as possible to try and control the content.

In doing that, I unintentionally gave out the idea that I did not have anything going on. You see if you're not public, if it's not out there in the public eye, if somebody types your name into Google, and they're not able to find very much that that gives off the wrong the wrong perspective.

What both me and one of my main business associates, Sean Douglas, who helps produce all the podcasts and everything you see here, the descriptions, everything, so much of it is done by Sean. He has been kind of my right hand man behind the scenes making things happen.

And we came to the conclusion, also with help of my wife, Kate, she was kind of the one that urged it on early on, was the idea of having an ongoing podcast.

So we started The Off The Grid Biz Podcast, because at the time, one of the main focuses that I was going after were self reliance based businesses, I wanted to kind of jump in and dig in and find out more about them, and to see if there was any need for the services I provide and there has been quite a great response.

But the market has changed extremely through the last couple years.

So we started off this podcast and just started interviewing people. And as we got going, we thought we saw that there was a really have a am, I'm looking for the right word, there was a whole lot of gathering of self reliance based businesses with Mother Earth News. So they were advertising in Mother Earth News Magazines. And they were also going to these Mother Earth News Fairs, okay, which were spread out across the United States.

I wanted to dig into some of this stuff. So we found one that was happening very nearby up in Albany, North of here, about four and a half hours, something like that.
