    #24: Pat Flynn's Biggest Mistakes
    Oct 30 2013
    Two weeks ago, immediately after I got home from spending over five weeks in Italy I headed right back to the airport less than 12 hours later to go to the Financial Bloggers Conference in St. Louis. Now, I had a ton of jet lag and the day next was a blur, but was excited about FINCON for a few reasons. Even though I don't write about personal finance anymore, FINCON was one of the first conferences I attended as a blogger and have quite a few friends that go. This was my first solo speaking gig at a "blogging" conference (I'll be sharing the video of this when I'm able to in mid-December). I always love conferences. Something about them reenergizes me to keep pushing forward when I get back to work. Anyway, during the conference I had the chance of recording a "live podcast" in front of an audience and since Pat Flynn of Smart Passive Income, guest number 5 of the Cubicle Renegade podcast, was there giving the opening keynote I figured this would be a great opportunity to have him share some more of his story. It is really easy to see where someone is now, successfully running a profitable business, and to assume they've never made any mistakes. The truth is, everyone makes mistakes. The difference is that successful people learn from them and move on quickly to trying something new. In this episode of The Cubicle Renegade Podcast I'll talk with Pat Flynn about some of his biggest mistakes over the last five years of building an honest online business, plus what he has learned from them.

    #22: Web Design Freelancing, with Paul Jarvis
    Jul 18 2013
    On today's session of the Cubicle Renegade podcast I'm joined by Paul Jarvis, a web designer and author. In this episode we talk about how he went from working at a design firm to freelancing and how all his clients followed him. We also talk about why he doesn't follow what other designers are doing around the web, books himself as a client to work on personal projects, and what matters most about the design of your website. He also gives a ton of insight into how to work with a designer on a website or work with a client if you are a designer.

  • #18: Six Figure eBooks, with Nathan Barry

    #18: Six Figure eBooks, with Nathan Barry
    May 24 2013
    Last July at the World Domination Summit conference in Portland I met Nathan Barry, who at the time was an iOS app developer. Little did I know that over the next 9 months he would go on to release three books and a web app that would earn him over $150,000. In this session I chat with Nathan about how he was successful at building an audience from scratch, landed high-level guest posts on launch day, how pricing his book into multiple packages earned him $50,000 more, and why he has no interest in working with a traditional publisher any time soon (and neither should you).
