We hear a lot of anecdotal stories about podcasters succeeding, but what about you? As somebody trying to start one, it can be difficult to sift through the b.s. to find what actually works.

If you've wondered if podcasts are feasible, if they're growing, or if people actually listen to them, then this episode is for you.

In this episode, I uncover the truth of podcasting as an industry, if it makes sense for you to start one, and how to know if your idea is prepared enough to hit that record button.

In this week’s BopSolo, I share my story and what I’ve learned on my journey from mechanic, to 9-to-5’er, to the owner of my very own business. The process, the grind, whatever you call it – all begins with one action, it all begins with “getting started”.

From crushing defeat to unimaginable success, it all begins with one meaningful step towards what your dream, passion or vision is.

As weird as it sounds: most people don’t know how to start – or how to keep going. You hear about side hustles and working on your own shingle, but how does it actually work?

Episode Highlights:

0:00 - Introduction

0:55 - My beginnings

4:52 - I’ve done the math

7:52 - You need to pick something

9:40 - Biggest mistakes I’ve made

12:08 - Expectations

12:58 - Lean into what will help you

15:36 - Episode wrap-up

Part of my business involves essentially what boils down to a “podcast review” – or what I call a ”podcast audit”.

In this week’s BopSolo, I’m giving you a little taste of what goes into one of these audits with one of the biggest podcasts in the world, “The Joe Rogan Podcast”.

So for you casual listeners and prospective podcast reviewees alike, sit back and check out how we cut up one of our media audits!

Enjoy!

Episode Highlights:

0:00 - What we do in an audit

2:01 - A couple examples of bias

5:12 - The design and the branding of the show

7:32 - A comparison

9:51 - Promotion

12:31 - Overall review

In this week’s episode, I discuss weightlifting – more specifically, some mistakes and misconceptions people have about it. I’ve been lifting for over half a decade and I’m still learning from my mistakes and constantly improving my approach.

I’ll be zeroing in on some of those mistakes that I’ve made, some other common L’s that most newbies take and even some of the advantages of even starting weight training.

Is it possible to gain 10,000 followers with 0 experience?

If a mechanic can do it, you sure can too. Back in 2020, I quit my job to edit audio. I wasn't an expert, but I had the confidence to start, and that small leap brought me to a career in my dream industry; media and podcasting.

Today I uncover my full strategy from start to finish, along with some helpful tips to get you off the ground.

When the internet reacts to you - you rarely want to find out what they're saying.. but in this case, I'm diving right in, baby!

It has came to my attention that my morning routine was cross-posted to "r/LinkedInLunatics" on Reddit last week where over 3000 people reacted to it - poorly.

I took some time to drop some context, point out some misconceptions and read some of the funniest comments!

Enjoy!!

Reddit Roast:

"Don't go with the fisherman are, go where the fish are."

If you want to sign up for another "make $100 a day" website that's fine, but just know it won't be based on your personality or your skills.

So many people are trying to find ways out of the rat race - where they not only have financial security, but mainly control over their time and what they do.

The best way to start is to lean into you.

The reality is, most companies can't even deliver their core offer, so if you can provide the service you claim to provide, you can start a successful business.

Today I share my story from $200 per month to $5000+ per month. This is a digital deep dive into online entrepreneurship, LinkedIn content creation, audience growth, and much more.

Enjoy!
