033. Discovering Your New Path – and Podcast Hiatus – w/ Jeff Bartsch

06/24/22 • 24 min

As experts, teachers, and coaches, we have a message to share with our people. Often we find that’s easier said than done. But every obstacle in your way is a chance to more fully discover who you are and what you have to offer to the world.
Today Jeff lays out a path for you to move past your own obstacles and shares some roadblocks that have smacked him upside the head on his own journey.
Including why he’s deciding to continue releasing content on YouTube while hitting the pause button on the audio podcast.

032. Combining 2 Niches Into 1 Diehard Community w/ Dan Thompson of Guns and Guitars

Dan Thompson has built a YouTube channel of over 200,000 subscribers that allows him to live and travel with his family full-time in their RV. But that’s just the beginning. Dan’s not only built a business around his content, he’s done it by combining two things that most people would never expect – guitars... and guns.

Whether you love that idea, are appalled by that idea, or you’re somewhere in the middle, buckle up, because when it comes to reaching the hearts and minds of your audience, there is ALWAYS more than just what you see on the surface.
