FL 102 – We teach Ed how to launch and grow a successful podcast

Want to learn more on how to launch and grow a successful podcast? Listening in on today's episode might give you ideas as we help our guest growing his podcast to build his online business, and a lot more! What's going on everybody? This week's episode, we present retired US Coast Guard and Flip Your Life community member, Ed Auzenbergs. Ed has been in the service for 29 years before retiring in 2013. He has 2 children who are in college, one is a junior at the US Coast Guard Academy, and the other is an incoming freshman at the US Naval Academy. He and his wife, Susan, now have an empty nest at the ripe age of 50. They figured it's about time to go traveling and still have the freedom to bug their kids. After ample research, he took a calculated risk and founded CommutaVie, a website that aims to provide structure and support for people suffering Type 2 Diabetes. He also has a podcast called, "TransformationCast," and he will be on air with us to discuss how to invite influencers onto his show. We will also be talking about our take in building your own team to back you up in your online business journey. You're going to be in for a whole lot of great advice, so tune in and take note of what today's episode can do for your online business.  You will learn: How to get influencers onto your podcast/show. How small influencers lead you to bigger influencers. Strategies on how to build your own team. Tips on how to hire the right contractor. And a whole lot more! [Tweet " Don't over think it. Start with small influencers, and eventually you'll get the bigger influencers."] [Tweet "The biggest point is, all you've got to do is ASK… find everybody and don't turn anyone down."] [Tweet "Trust people without micromanaging them. There's no reason to build a team if you spend all your time just managing them."] Links and resources mentioned in today's show: Flipped Lifestyle CommutaVie Flip Your Life John Welbourn Shane's football podcast Hal Mumme Enjoy the podcast; we hope it inspires you to explore what's possible for your family!

Can't Miss Moments Each week Jocelyn and I share moments that we might have missed if we had not started our online business. We hope these moments inspire you to see the possibilities and freedom online business could provide for your family. "Our can't miss moment this week is a trip down memory lane. We were stumbling across this and thought it was absolutely hilarious what I wrote to her on Valentine's day in 2001. I wanted to read it to you on air just so you guys can get a laugh with us. So, I've drawn a picture of a bee on the front and it said, "Will you bee my Valentine?" This is straight up handwritten - hand drawn kind of old school card and the inside of it said, "Someday I will have lots of money to buy you really neat gifts and even a real card. But right now, I am so poor that I have to be creative. I hope you like your Valentine's day card. I love you, Shane." So, we thought it was so funny, looking back. We were so broke back in the day."
