Learning to live life while you're here and go for those scary dreams

I'm a retired military veteran who has been clinically dead twice and someone who makes sure to enjoy all the moments life gives me, I started my podcast in one direction and have started to pivot towards my passion and that's living life to its fullest.
 

I first started the podcast to work to help other entrepreneurs who may have been struggling to find better ways to grow their business. In my first year I grew and learned so much, then I started working towards what my heart was telling me, so I'm on this journey to let others know that they can do the same thing and follow their dreams.
 

I release an episode once a week and I've really worked to be consistent with that, I have been working to build my home studio slowly. So the items I use for my podcast got funded over time, and now that I have reached that year mark, I am going to start looking for sponsors and investors to assist in growing. Currently I use my own funds, I wanted to ensure that I gave it my all and make sure that I was being financially responsible first.
 

I do take sponsorships, so if anyone out there would like to sponsor a retired Marine who is working to show others that they can live before they die I'm open to it., I have worked to build different revenue streams with other products that I use the podcast to shed light on. So on an average at the moment I would say it's around $2500 extra with the podcast.

I have gained so many friends and networking experiences through learning to open my mouth and just let words come out.
 

I have focused on continually getting better with my structure as I have used my podcast with audio mainly and video format has such an impact for me. I am an affiliate for one of the most powerful streaming services called Ecamm. It is what I use to interview my virtual guest, and I can't tell you the compliments I get on it.
My preparation for this is to meet with my guest prior to recording so they and I can get a feel and I ask them to listen or watch a past episode so they can see how I conduct the interview and helps them to feel relaxed
 

My marketing Strategy has grown and I have learned one of the most important things is that I cannot wear all the hats. So I farm out my marketing, but still have knowledge of how and where it's showing up at. My main listenership comes from my podcast host and website, as I work to direct my listeners or others to those places rather than wherever you listen to your podcast at. I have come to find out that Linkedin and instagram are my most comfortable places to speak, as I go live there mostly versus recorded videos.
 

To anyone out there looking to learn this game for real I would truly say get yourself a coach like I did, one who is where you want to be or going in that direction. Learning first hand and hands on to me has helped and don't be afraid to make mistakes.
