New Media World: Business, Life, Freedom

In this episode, after 40+ episodes, I share my reflections on the second season of New Media World. I talked about the many amazing entrepreneurs I was grateful to have on the show and what I have learned from them.

Cesare Rocchi is a software maker, speaker and writer. He is currently working on Podrover. He blogs at Upbeat and he hosts the Cocoaconf podcast.

Todd Cochrane is the CEO of Blubrry. He is an author, new media and podcast advertising expert, Podcast Hall of Fame Inductee, and a 12-year podcaster! Todd retired from the US Navy in 2007 with experience in Advanced Airborne Avionic Systems to include EW/Radar/CSM/SAR/IR/ with in depth knowledge of RF systems and components. He retired from the US Navy as a Senior Chief with 24 years active service. He has worked as a government tech rep involved in design, installation, operational testing, and evaluation of new mission systems along with managing multiple aircraft modifications across multiple depot repair facilities worldwide.

Krishna De is a digital strategy and social media communications speaker, commentator, educator, and mentor. She's a judge of several Irish digital marketing awards and developed and leads the certificate and social media communication for the PR Institute of Ireland.

Nicola Cairncross is the Founder of the self funded 6-figure startup ClicksAndLeads.com and co-host of Own It! Your Business & Your Life Podcast. Nicola left school at 16 with only three core skills: the ability to talk, a love of books and the ability to type.

Joshua Rivers is an Oklahoma-based podcast producer and podcaster at Podcast Guy Media. He started with websites many years ago which he started to build into a business sometime in 2012-2013. When it didn't get a whole lot of traction, so he started podcasting and producing podcasts. Joshus is currently aiming to build his podcast production business to replace his full-time income.

Nick Loper is the founder of Side Hustle Nation, his website that showcases his successes and failures, as well as the actionable lessons from dozens of fellow side hustle entrepreneurs. Some of the biggest pet peeves are people who insist on introducing themselves with a middle initial.

Janet Murray is a journalist and PR coach who helps businesses and brands tell their story in the media. Janet has been featured in dozens of national and international publications including the Guardian, Huffington Post, Daily Telegraph, Entrepreneur, BBC Online, The Sun, Daily Mail & many more. Janet is also a blogger, speaker and podcaster and runs her business from her garden ‘shedquarters’, local coffee shop or wherever she happens to be in the world (and thanks her lucky stars for it every day).
