How to build a podcast business the Disney way
The Clueless Entrepreneur
Okay picture this, it's 1956, Walt Disney is sitting at the dinner table, he takes out a napkin and starts drawing some weird thing. He calls it a synergy map and it's basically the strategy of Disney outlined, basically he wanted Disney to expand beyond film and create multiple streams of revenue which are interrelated with each other and support each other.
I mean it sounds a bit complicated and perhaps I'm not doing justice to it by explaining it but in this episode I clearly explain it (I think) but not only that, but get this we can create our own versions of a synergy map as podcast entrepreneurs; basically build a business around our podcast with multiple streams of income.
I will be outlining a basic framework to how we can get there. So take a listen you won't regret it...
To check out my synergy map, follow me @LindoMsane on Twitter and @cluelessentrepreneur on Instagram
Watch this video from Colin & Samir https://youtu.be/HGhT5GMhf8A to get more on the synergy map and how it can work for creators

How to create your first course as a podcaster (Daren Smith)
The Clueless Entrepreneur
When I created the picture of what I want my business to look like in the future, in the form of a synergy map, I had courses on there as part of the business. Courses are the natural progression for me as an educational content creator and they are a great monetization tool for your business. I just don't know how to create a course, how to turn my listeners to my customers and so on, I'm pretty clueless.
Well that's why Daren Smith is here today, to help me become less clueless
