30. How Communities, Mentorship and Support Lead To Business Success with Jason Moore
03/18/20 • 41 min
The entrepreneurial life can be hard when you’re going it alone. This is why so many businesses the world over are creating solid communities that not only boost their success but also create that much-needed support.
Welcome to Anomalous Educator, where each week award-winning entrepreneur Ray Blakney, sets out to explore the world of education and online business with the help of successful professionals.
If you’re an educator, entrepreneur or someone who wants to improve people’s lives whilst having your own freedom, then this podcast is for you.
In this episode, I’m sitting down with Jason Moore, the host of the highly successful Zero To Travel podcast, and the co-founder of the online community Location Indie.
When Jason left college, he had the dream of traveling the world after becoming hooked on the idea of exploring Europe. Sadly, there was a massive $20,000 student debt burning a hole in his pocket.
Within two months, he took on the role of roadie for a charity event. This sparked the beginning of a decade long, world exploring career. From band tours to larger corporate events, the traveling bug had firmly set in.
Now, times have certainly changed. He's living a less nomadic life in Norway with his wife and two kids. Jason's business Location Indie stems from his biggest goal – to build a global community of location independent entrepreneurs and heart-centered digital nomads. This community of like-minded people provides help and support in not only travel but business too.
The Zero To Travel podcast has been downloaded more than 4.5 million times in 195 countries around the world, so he certainly understands the meaning of community and bringing people together.
Our conversation explores how Jason's career went from "Glorified Carny," to location independent. He breaks down the best ways to create a solid community that can help boost your business, and why finding the right community for you takes time and dedication.
Also in this episode:
- How Jason begin his career in travel
- The Zero Travel Podcast and why it’s such a labor of love
- Jason breaks down the fundamental differences between Location-independent and Digital Nomad
- How to envision your perfect business scenario so you can kick start your business towards success

31. How To Market and Sell Your Online Courses Like a Pro with Tom Libelt
Online courses are perfect for generating extra income for online educators. Having a marketing strategy for your online course is essential for your success. But when it comes to the crunch, creating one can seem just a bit too overwhelming.
Welcome to Anomalous Educator, where each week award-winning entrepreneur Ray Blakney, sets out to explore the world of education and online business with the help of successful professionals.
If you’re an educator, entrepreneur or someone who wants to improve people’s lives whilst having your own freedom, then this podcast is for you.
Tom Libelt is the guy to turn if you need help with marketing your online course.
Tom is the founder of We Market Online Courses, where he creates marketing strategies that work. He assists course creators with a range of business tools to increase profits, as well as lectures on a full range of online course topics.
Born into the challenging life of Communist Poland, Tom learned the art of the hustle. In the early ’90s, when he’d just turned 11, Tom and his family escaped to the US, where a new life began.
While he had a gift for selling, his primary interests lay within the world of music. In high school, he would regularly DJ in bars, clubs and raves with one time opening a set for DJ Scribble.
In university, he centered his education on working in the music industry, focusing predominantly on marketing, business to business and sound engineering. But, like with many artistic industries, the money was hard to come by. At the age of 25, Tom made the decision to close that chapter and head into the world of sales.
After some trial and error, Tom had developed his sales and marketing skills. He has finally honed those same skills into his business today, helping others build online courses and market them like a pro.
In this episode, Tom and Ray talk about the biggest mistakes teachers make when creating and selling online courses. They also dive into how you can test if anyone wants to buy your online course, and to market your offering properly on each social media channel.

- Smuggling alcohol in communist Poland
