Episode Highlights:

01:22 – This is a small world. The podcast world is a small world even though there’s millions of podcasters or whatever. I don’t want to be known as a guy who doesn’t show up, doesn’t admit that he’s wrong. I’ve had people that I’ve had to return money back, and they go, “Hey, cool. Let me know when you’re on to the next one,” because I built trust. Maybe that was a $6,000 gig. Next time I bring $10,000, they’ll be careful, but they’ll be open to it. Like, they even said, “Hey, when you’re ready for the next one, let us know.” I built trust, and I try to do that, and I’ve made mistakes, and I try to make them right, but I’m always moving forward. So, other actionable things, have a plan, try to create a plan. That’s hard for me. So, the process of writing it out, hiring a consultant, having them take a look at it. Have them take a look at your processes and your deliverables. A lot of times, for a visionary, if you just go through that process, you’ll go, “That can make me money,” but I don’t want to do that, so then scrap it.

Elzie Flenard The Mayor of Podcast Town

I knew I wanted to be an entrepreneur as a teenager. I would create my own board games and basketball leagues in my bedroom. I would dream of flying cars and spend hours solving problems with business ideas.

I've had just about every job out there - I was a janitor for a short time, I've worked fast food, I worked in an ammunition factory (wasn't a bad gig actually), I've cleaned the bottom of barges --- I even worked in a CD manufacturing company! I've worked in corporate as an electronics technician, electrical engineer and operations manager.

These experiences shaped me. They helped me become the business leader and entrepreneur I am today. I've been podcasting since 2016 and I look forward to many more years of having conversations with bright minds from all walks of life.

I get to live my dream of being an entrepreneur. I get to chart my own path and impact others through my work ... I'm truly Livin' the Dream!
