Michelle Fox (@MichelleMFox) is another MBA student at UN Reno. After my talk to her class, Michelle expressed interest in learning about the podcasting process. I thought that the easiest way for her to learn was to be a guest. I got to learn more about Michelle and her interest in work-life balance through our conversation and I think she has some interesting thoughts on the subject. I hope you enjoy this interview.
Eric Chaump (@EricChaump) is an MBA student at UN Reno. He’s currently enrolled in Dr. Bret Simmons personal branding course and is moving quickly to help people get Professionally Diversified. He came upon this set of ideas when watching his own family members end up getting squeezed out of their job due to the recession. By using several different risk arbitrage strategies Eric is teaching his blog readers how to not be dependent upon a single source of income. Definitely go check out his blog at http://ericchaump.wordpress.com. I really think he has the chops to do help people and become a recognized blogger. Enjoy!
Today’s guest is Greg Hartle (@greghartle). Greg first came to my recent attention by tweeting at me that he was enjoying this show and looked forward to it coming back from the break. After doing some quick research on him, I was blown away by his story and the launch of his new project Ten Dollars and a Laptop. After quickly speaking with him privately I knew that he was a perfect person to have on the show and things just happened to work out that he was the first episode back from the break. I hope you enjoy l meeting Greg and will help him as he continues on his journey to all 50 states. Read the rest of this entry »
So I apologize for being away from the show for the last couple of weeks. Last week my trusty MacBook Pro had to go to the Apple repair warehouse and this week has been legitimately crazy as I prepare to move to NYC. I’ll be taking next week off as well in order to get things settled. I look forward to releasing the next episode on April 7th. Thanks for your understanding.
{update: Getting settled in NYC took a week longer than expected. Next episode will be available April 14th.}
Caleb Elston (@CalebElston) is the co-founder and CEO of Yobongo (@yobongo) a mobile real time chat application that takes advantage of your location in the room creation. Caleb has a ton of industry experience already and I sincerely enjoyed speaking with him and learning about his company. I also want to thank Caleb publicly for letting me in to Yobongo’s private beta. I think Caleb is a top notch entrepreneur to watch over the next 5 years so take advantage of this opportunity to meet him now. Enjoy!
Brandi Walsh and Beth Hickey (@LocalLily) are just two of the great folks I got to meet after speaking at Ignite Phoenix #9. They’re doing something really interesting on their lifestyle blog that helps point out locally owned and fantastic businesses. I’ve enjoyed each of our conversations and would love you to meet Brandi and Beth! Go visit their website at http://locallily.com.
Today’s guest is Cameron Herold (@Cameron Herold). He’s the author of the new book Double Double where he teaches the techniques and tools he’s developed that help companies of all sizes to double their revenues in three years. Having received an advanced copy of the book I can state firmly that the book is top notch and something I will be referencing in the future. Cameron’s a great guy and if you’re looking to grow the business you operate in I would strongly recommend following him. Enjoy the episode!
Adam Baker (@manvsdebt) has an amazing story where he and his wife eliminated over $18,000 of debt and moved to Australia for a year with their new daughter. Baker’s transparency as he went through this entire process is something that no personal finance blogger I’ve come across can compete with. I had the great pleasure of meeting him at last year’s SXSW and look forward to hanging out with him this year. Take a listen to the episode and see if you don’t want to come out to Austin and meet him as well.
I was incredibly fortunate to meet Stephanie Quilao (@skinnyjeans) at PodCamp AZ 2009. She’s an amazing woman who left her corporate life behind to start blogging in 2005 and in the process found the one thing that she “simply can’t shut up about.” I personally love her passion for food, hydration and generally taking care of ourselves and I know you will enjoy meeting her as well.
Steve Errey (@SteveErrey) is someone who focuses on helping individuals reignite their passions and gain the confidence necessary to act on them. I had the pleasure of getting in touch with Steve a couple of years ago and found that he really knows a lot about psychology, motivation and achieving the steps necessary to live the life you want to live. He’s a great guy and be sure to check out his amazing blog over at http://theconfidenceguyonline.com/. Enjoy this episode!
