Recent Conversation between Christopher Lochhead and I on Unstructured Podcast (May 2019)

Check out the post here.Update 10/12/20I wanted to write a quick update to this post, which is one of the most popular posts on my site. I recently went through and updated my package offerings and adjusted some of my offerings to better fit what I have time to accommodate. Always remember to be genuine and up front about your intentions.First, Let Me Explain.I love podcasting. I love it so much for what it is, my voice and your ears. I love it for what it has given me, which is a direction for my life and my business. From close friends, I have gained to the connections to people from every corner of the planet. Finally, I am grateful for what the platform allows me to give to others in the form of enjoyable and educational content.

April 2, 2014, I ended my life long journey of working at my family's $100 Million business without a clue as to what I was going to do to support my wife and I. I went back to school to try to figure it out and started going to networking meetings to potentially find a path. One month later I was on a plane to Disney World and thanks to a friend on the plane I was inspired to start the Dreamers Podcast which three years later would transition into The Business Podcast. I built on the fact that I started blogging back in 1996 as a kid and never stopped. Content creation and bringing people together has always been my goal.

Towards the end of 2014, I even started up the Mid-Atlantic Podcast Conference which has been growing year over year since. I've given tons of talks across the country both advocating for people to find and pursue their dreams, grow their business, and pushing for others to create their own content to connect with others and create a movement. I've written four books with the first three being critically acclaimed self-development books and the fourth coming out on March 2, 2018.

Podcasting means the world to me and I could not imagine my life without it. I have always experimented with trying new things on my show. From doing the show five days a week for four months back when I was just getting started, to have a pre-show in front of my guest interviews, to doing topic shows and so much more. I always push my fellow podcasters to own the fact that their show is theirs and they shouldn't allow others to dictate how long an episode should be or what it should be about (within reason of staying cohesive with the brand you are creating).

Over the nearly four years of podcasting I always get the same question: but how do you make any money from doing a podcast? I explain to them that from my show I have made almost zero dollars. Because of my podcast I have been able to make a living, a successful business and a brand revolving around what I love to do.Are You An Independent Podcaster?Learn more

Join us at our next event!What Is Changing?My time is light years away from where it once was four years ago. Going from having a wife to becoming a family of four has changed my expectations for what I need to accomplish in my allotted time and the amount of money my time is worth has greatly increased over the last four years.

Another thing that has changed is the direction and mission of my podcast. I changed the name to The Business Podcast shortly after winning Business Podcast of the year from the 12th Annual Podcast Awards to better reflect the topic of my show. While my show started out as a self-development show, over the course of the years it morphed into a show about business. Which is a topic that I am endlessly passionate about?

The podcast will still be released every Tuesday at 8 AM EST. Going forward I am creating four separate series for my show going forward.
