#0028 Do you know what you calling is?

This isn't always an easy question to answer.

That's something we're here to uncover with today's guest, Miinkay Yu.

Miinkay is a life and career coach who battled this same question and is now looking to help others figure out what their calling is as well.

During the episode, you'll get to listen in on a short "coaching session" with Miinkay and myself and she helps me work through the next steps I need to take in my business and career.

There is a ton of value to be had form listening in, so I hope you enjoy this interview.

#0025 Have you ever thought about starting a podcast?

If you own a business or personal brand (or hope to) podcasting can be a great place to start.

Listen in as 7 members of Pat Flynn's SPI Pro Community share their insights into:

• Why they started their podcasts
• How podcasting has benefited their business or brand

Just because you don't have a brand, business, or audience yet doesn't mean you can't start a podcast. As you'll hear in this episode, many of the podcasters have been able to build their audience as a result of starting their podcast, myself included.

#023 This week we are covering a similar topic to what was discussed back in episode 10: Cold Outreach.

Today's guest is Ty Frankel and not only will we be discussing how Ty uses cold email to land high-ticket clients, but we will also be talking about how he and his team at Shut Down Emails have started utilizing LinkedIn in a very similar approach.

Much like the topics discussed in episode 10, this is a not a quick-scheme to get high-paying clients. With anything, and as you'll hear in this episode, the big results happen when action is taken.

Going the extra mile for your potential clients can mean the difference between success and failure.

#022 In the last episode we talked about getting started with video creation.

In this episode, I chat with Noah Heise and Leif Jensen about their process for creating multiple weekly videos for YouTube. To this point, they have over 100 videos published on YouTube and are continuing to publish new videos every Monday and Friday.

Not only do we get into how they are able to stay so consistent with their video creation, but we also cover:

• Their planning process
• Equipment & Recording (and why you don't need all the fancy camera gear)
• Post-production

... but the biggest takeaway is that you just need to start.
