United Podcast Experience

“ If you’re doing it for a specific number of plays or downloads then you are probably doing it for the wrong reasons “

Josh Whitt ( @unreasonabledoubtwv ) may embody the old phrase “if you do what you love, then you’ll never work a day in your life “ more than anyone you've ever met with his podcast.

Growing up in the great state of West Virginia, Josh was a huge fan of sports and played many of them as a child. One of the setbacks of living in a state with a population of only 1.8 million people is there are no professional sports teams. So Josh and his family cheer on the next best thing West Virginia State, where his love for watching and playing basketball has grown.

For many seasons Josh would talk to his family over the phone after a big game and have a recap of the events, what the team did right and wrong, exciting moments and so on and so forth. After hearing about Anchor, a distribution platform for podcasters, he took  a leap out of his comfort zone and used the same phone and conversation topics to create a fun sports talk show by just hitting record.

The fascination part is they cover mainly basketball and college basketball has a relatively short season, so Josh has had to get creative to keep the weekly publication going year round. This his lead him to talk to ex-players of WVU, sports writers and ever bringing other fans on to give them some spotlight.

When asking him about his success and ability to stay constant he tells us “ it keep my expectations low, this is a hobby and I enjoy it. I will continue to do it as long as I enjoy it.” This hobby of his has gained traction now getting sponsors for the show and reaching a global audience as Anchor has grown as a platform.

If you listen to the whole episode we cover some early mistakes and even fans that are truck drivers can manipulate your analytics. .

Josh Hall ( @splitswimco ) A Professional swimmer who retired in 2016 but didn't want to leave the community that meant so much to him for so long, fast forward to today and you have of the most influential swimming communities and businesses that everyone could learn from.*

Around 10 years old Josh was tired of having a sister that was faster than him in the pool so he joined a team with the goal to pass her up. Little did he know that he wasn't joining a team, he was joining a family that is still there for him today.*

After retiring in 2016 he begun to missing the “pain” of training, he missed waking up everyday with a goal and a group of people working towards that same mission. “ being on a team is more like a family, you train together, travel together, win together and lose together “. He couldn't stay out of the pool for long as he now trains for Iron Man races *

Looking for a way to give back to the community that made him into the man he is, Josh joined forces with another poolmate and founded Split Swim Co. We dive into SSC and learn many valuable lessons about building a brand. *

One thing that he urges is to just get started, pick something simple and execute against it.  Trade perfection in for speed and get to work, you won't know what your community wants until you've showed up enough and then they will tell you.*

“ If life was easy then we wouldn't have a lot of great stories to remember it by “

Isaac Mashman (@isaacmashman) could be classified as a serial experincincer, when ever he seems to have a very direct path to the next logical part of his life he runs the other way and jumps off the biggest cliff he can find.  Listening to his story and Isaac speak you’d think he was a 40 something startup CEO that's been around a bit but you quickly learn he’s a 19 year old founder that decided to cram a lifetime of experiences into 2 short years.

As a senior in high school, Isaac worked hard to get good grades which lead to courtship from colleges and scholarships. Free college, most of us would be excited with that opportunity. But he knew deep down it didn't feel right, it wasn't what he wanted or what would make him happy. Instead he took a leap of faith and moved to California with hopes and dreams of creating businesses with some friends, that ended up backing out and leaving him stranded.

Most people at this point in their journey would have went home, not Isaac, he decided to miss his return flight on purpose and crashed on couches learning as much as he could from his surroundings and the experience.

Not too long after he found himself in the French countryside, move 6500 miles across the world to meet a girl. It didn't go exactly as planned but her and her family still invited him to stay and he learned a lot about living off the land and learning to be happy with having enough.

Reflecting during the conversation Isaac puts things into perspective “ Im 19 and if i would have went the traditional route of going to college for marketing or whatever I would be still taking electives and learning about billboards. Trusting myself I’ve got to travel the world and learn things that can only be taught with experience”

One of the many things we see in his story is that he is always true to himself. He does what he feels is the best thing in that moment even if its unpopular and he understands that its not going to go according to plan and there will be some things that he needs to learn.

“ the same friends you came in with wont always be the same ones you leave with “

Vexed the Barber ( @vexedoriginal ) has always been drawn to music one way or another. Feeling outcasted and misunderstood in school he opted for hardcore music shows over parties and hangouts. These drove his ambitions and changed his inspirations.

In the begging his music with the scene he frequent most, sticking the hardcore style until a group of friends came together to test the hip hop waters. He is the only one still around from that group but isn't alone. Vexed has made it almost a mission to surround himself with the right people. Building a network of like minded ambitious people is something he tells us is pinnacle to make it over the long term.

He chose a less familiar route to fuel his music career, picking up clippers and going to school to become a barber, common but once he graduated he didn't head to the shop, instead he brings the shop to you. “ if people are willing to spend an extra $5 for a cheese burger I bet they would be willing to spend $20 for a good haircut “ So he tested the waters and the waters provided. He uses his “day job” to found his life while music builds his legacy.

Building a team and find new people to collaborate with are the primary focuses for today. He used small goals that add up to the big goals to stay on track. “ I don't want to get into my 40’s and look back and wish I did something” that's why he advises everyone, especially if you're younger, if you have an idea, just do it now. Don't wait and go after it today.

There are many other nuggets and great philosophies in this episode.
