    #19 Saying Goodbye to 2017 and Goals for 2018

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 27, 2017 57:42


    This our last episode of the 2017! This year has seen some twists and turns to say the least. When this year started, I had ambitions of pushing this podcast as far as I could, and turning it into a regularly occurring thing, hopefully building a following along with that. I was hoping I could find ways to monetize it and make a little money for all of the effort I was putting into editing it, as well as booking guests and preparing interview questions. While all that stuff can be enjoyable, it does take a lot of time. As we can see now, that stuff didn't really come to fruition. Other life circumstances got in the way, and I also decided to start pursuing an audio business. Priorities changed, and this podcast became the odd man out. We are still going to keep doing it, but we will change how we do things from here on out. We will release one episode per month, as this will now just be a low pressure, strictly for fun show only. We will occasionally have a guest, if it's not too much hassle to do so. Lastly, we will shut down our website and simply maintain a Facebook page (www.facebook.com/eldpodcast). We want to thank you for listening this year. It has been fun! We will once again return in January.

    We are glad to have had our friend Shawn Kuiper join our show for an in-person interview. We don't get to do too many of these in-person, so we really appreciate the ones that are. Shawn is an entrepreneur with a vegetation management business. We discuss some wide ranging topics from entrepreneurship, to societal changes in how we buy stuff, and even get into the weeds a little bit (pardon the pun) about how his business operates. We basically let Shawn have the floor to discuss whatever was on his mind. Those can be some of the best kinds of interviews. Enjoy!
