In today's episode, I will be talking with Tom Ward, a YouTuber and the creator of The Tom Ward Show, who has interviewed mega-famous people like Paris Hilton, Rob Dyrdek (from the Ridiculousness TV show), and The Bella Twins (a super hot professional wrestling tag team that performed in the WWE).
I've been watching Tom from afar for some time, especially since he decided to take the courageous leap into entrepreneurship full-time.
Tom shares his story of quitting his job and starting a YouTube channel at 39 years old, and overcoming his fears of jumping into entrepreneurship. He was stuck in a job that he hated selling kitchen equipment to grocery stores.
On the surface, he thought it looked pretty ridiculous to quit his job and become a full-time YouTuber when he was so old, especially when he didn't watch YouTube or even know what a YouTuber was. But he knew it was time to take action.
In this episode, Tom and Gary discuss topics like:
- Why Tom chose YouTube over everything else
- How he kept his business going even after losing 40K in the first two years of business
- What it's like interviewing and meeting super famous people like Paris Hilton
- What it feels like to hate your job and fear making a change
- The fears and struggles of quitting your job and working for yourself
- The cheapest and fastest way to gain credibility
- Why knowing your gift is so powerful and how it can make you stand out from the competition
- The evolution of getting brand deals
- How grinding and doing the work can lead you to your passion
- Just because someone told you no, doesn't mean you can't do it yourself
- How learning your body and going at your own pace will lead you to success
- If you read one book and take action, it can change your life
- How to juggle time, energy, and business and get everything done
