When they first got married their starry-eyed quest was to live happily ever after and bring each other’s dreams to life. The challenge was, they had no money. His bride had a low paying high stress job and he had a struggling business. They drove junky cars and lived in a postage stamp sized rental house. On top of that, he had major sexual baggage from a dark past that he is unpacking today. In-spite of all this they decided to dream big, they set a goal to get remarried in a different state or country every year. With lots of prayer, action and creativity, they have been married 23 times, and yes they have had 23 honeymoons! Their story has been featured in media outlets around the world, but this is just the beginning of their story… Along their journey as husband and wife and now mom and dad, they realized that in order for things to get better, they had to get better and in order for things to grow (like the marriage and their finances) they had to grow. This meant they had to stop blaming everyone else, like the government, the traffic & the economy and start taking full responsibility for their lives. So they began their journey of spiritual and personal growth that continues to this day. Their mission is to bring your dreams to life, because the world needs more people living their dreams.

Full Time Hustle with Susan Fowler - Founder of Fowler Studios Apr 24, 2018

Show notes

Susan Fowler is founder of Fowler Studios and co-creator and host of Full Time Hustle Podcast. She lives in Virginia with her husband Josh, and their two kids Hazel & Zane. Growing up in the Appalachian Mountains, she learned the value of hard work as she watched her dad build his business. She also swore she’d never become an entrepreneur because she saw exactly what it took to succeed.
Fast forward to 2010, she started photography so she could volunteer for Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep, and figured she would do a few photo sessions to make money while she was at it. When they moved to a new state, Josh told their new friends that Susan was a photographer, and before they knew it business was booming. In 2015 Josh quit his job to join the family business as a videographer.
Full Time Hustle Podcast began as an idea to help entrepreneurs take their side hustle to a full time hustle. Susan watched over the years as creative entrepreneurs struggled with the business side of things, and never quite managed to take the leap to full time with their passion. Full Time Hustle fills that void with free education for business owners to grow and thrive in their industry. Susan and Josh share what has worked for them over the years, as well as interview incredible entrepreneurs who have started from the bottom and built successful, ever-growing businesses.

Stand Up Comedy at Open Mic Night Apr 12, 2018

Show notes

Check out this episode of "Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do" and hear the story of how Thom Singer got past a 25 year fear of trying his hand at a comedy open mic night.
Now he has done it four times. Don't worry, Jerry Seinfeld is not nervous about his job security, and Kevin Hart is not asking him to open for him in his sold out arena comedy shows. But it has been a unique and inspiring experience for him and he plans to do it a few more times.
This episode is dedicated to talking to everyone about the importance of trying new things, and doing it with an open mind. No, not everyone needs to do a Stand Up bit in a comedy club or coffee house, but when you get past the fear of looking foolish or the fear of failure, there is power and growth in the trying.
Thom's first time ever at an open mic night was in New York City. He was convinced that all the comics would be great and that his five minute set would be the worst. That the word "bomb" would forever be attached to his one time comedy effort. But the result was positive. He got laughs, and found that comics have a supportive community.
His second time was a mess. Not his three minute bit, but the place he took the stage was disorganized, the hosts were not engaged (gave the best time slots to their friends and acted like a bunch of frat guys who didn't welcome strangers into their home)... but he still got laughs (although there were only 6 people still in the room, as all the comics were outside drinking with their friends). But the lesson here is that all open mic night experiences are not created equal. But it also made it clear that not everyone who got up on the mic would be funny... so why was he so worried.
The third and fourth times at open mic were really good and have inspired him to keep going. No, not to ever be a comic or to incorporate elements of stand up into his corporate speaking, but because the power in pushing yourself to do things out of your comfort zone come from what happens along the journey.
Check out this episode is you have ever wanted to try something hard, but let the fear hold you back.

Mistakes Made by Podcast Guests and Podcast Hosts Apr 05, 2018

Show notes

Jessica Pettitt has been a guest on nearly 100 podcasts. In 2018 she made it a goal to appear on one show per week. Her experience as a guest who is committed to doing a great job for each show she has appeared on has lead her to some interesting observations about things podcast hosts do where they miss the mark of in creating their best possible product and a positive experience for those who are on the show.
In a conversation we were sharing the mistakes of both hosts and podcast guests. We decided to take this topic onto episode 344 of "Cool Things Entrepreneurs Do". With the boom in podcasting still accelerating, many are looking at joining in on both sides of the interview.
In this episode Thom Singer and Jessica discuss areas where both hosts and guests can be more aware in able to partner for greater success in the interview process.
5 mistakes podcasters make when dealing with their guests
1. Disorganized in planning for their own show: Time zones, scheduling software, and expectations are just a few things to think about.
2. Surprising the guest with video. If your show is a video podcast or if you will be livestreaming on Facebook Live, you need to tell the guest in advance.
3. 1984 called, it wants skype back... use zoom
4. Demanding too specific equipment / microphones
5. Canceling the appointment at the last minute.
Bonus- Charging guest to be on your show with false promises of real reach.
5 mistakes guests make when appearing in a podcast
1. Not having a good microphone. Yeah, while you may not need a $1000 mic, your built in microphone in your laptop is NOT good enough.
2. Pitching to be on the show because you are smart with no attention to being a partner in promoting the episode.
3. Failing to have listened to previous podcast episodes
4. Not aligning message with shows theme or podcast host and just pitching your book.
5. Cancelling or rescheduling at the last minute.
Listen to this episode and see the points of view from both the guest and the host, and you will create a better and more valuable partnership in your podcast hosting or guesting experience.
