Bradley Charbonneau of Pass The Sour Cream talks about failure.

Episode 051: F is for Fail by Bradley Charbonneau of Pass The Sour Cream on Failing Fast & Pivoting

Bradley Charbonneau's dad died in 2015 and it was as if, for the first time, that he realized we were mortal and had only this life to live. Unless you're a cat, but he wasn't a cat and he wasn't living the life he thought that he was supposed to live. Since then, he's been writing. Every Single Day. Bradley's now published 12 books, closed down the company he founded (and realized he hated), and moved his family to Europe. It doesn't cost him energy, it provides him with energy. Every Single Day. It all started with a single decision to write every day. When are you going to start living the life you were meant to live?

Episode 048: 5 Ways To Boost Your Conversion Rate by Joe Fier of Evergreen Profits on Digital Marketing & Selling Online

Joe Fier & Matt Wolfe are the co-founders of Evergreen Profits and absolutely LOVE showing people how simple it really is to get seen online in competitive industries. They get pumped up to share their system of driving targeted traffic that turns into leads and sales to business owners who want to scale (but have failed in the past). They aren't an agency (they're pretty much the anti-agency).

They started in business together 13 years ago and haven't stopped learning, testing, and scaling since.

They also started their podcasting career in 2010 and it's been their passion ever since. Now they have a fast growing digital marketing podcast called Hustle and Flowchart. It gives listeners an opportunity to learn uncommon ways to live and work that allow for a happier and more profitable life.

Today, Matt & Joe focus on growing their show, putting a ton of free value into the world, and investing and advising in digital businesses and podcasts.
