Personal history Didn’t grow up as an entrepreneur – I shied away from everything to do with selling In high school, I started doing some “side work” by getting a part-time job…and then a second part time job After graduating high school, I often had either college with a job or (at least) two jobs Around 2003-04, I dabbled a bit into some kind of newspaper ad/mail scheme Around 2006-07, I started creating some websites for pastors and churches I knew This continued until 2010, when I started to see that I had actually created a side-biz I took college classes to improve my skills from 2010-2013 From 2010-2015, I continued to create websites for a small handful of clients I started podcasting in 2012 2015 was the year I switched my side biz from website creation to podcast editing I officially started Podcast Guy Media, LLC in 2016 I slowly grew the side biz until I got way too busy and started outsourcing some work in 2017 Personal realization I like taking different personality tests to learn more about myself One of the realizations that I’ve had while comparing and blending the results from different tests is that I haven’t be working in some of my strengths – specifically that of learning and teaching what I learn This podcast is to help me share what I have already learned, what I’m currently learning, and also for me to continue to learn as I talk with guest experts and others in the trenches
