Hello our favourite sight capitalists, and welcome to episode 112 of BGC. We are honoured to be joined by Mr David Renstrom who has kindly agreed to leave the comfort of his North Swedish igloo to chat about the newest craze everyone is talking about: Meta Smart Glasses! David takes us through the design and functions of the glasses, and even gives us a tour of his fridge. Are these the Christmas present you've been waiting for? Do you need to amend your letter to Santa? Stay tuned and find out. We do have to issue a health warning and say that the A.I. part of 'Meta Glasses' may not work in your location straight out of the box. This is mainly an issue in Europe and is due to very strict EU data protection laws. However, there is a workaround: You can subscribe to a VPN service which means you can tell the 'Meta View App' your location is in the USA or Canada and then the A.I. will work fine. See links below to VPN services, some of which have very good subscription offers for the next few weeks. It turns out that in between shows, Jan has also purchased these Meta glasses and is getting some "Looking cute and cool dad" comments from his daughter Rosalie. But is she trying to butter him up for a special request that only daughters can ask their dad!?! Sucker!!! We've got an email from Blind Gordon which Mohamed will be pleased about as he was very worried about the weather in Scotland. We are delighted to say Gordon is all good, but we'd suggest staying away from Inverness; as it's feckin' FREEZIN' there!! And now, for the most important bit: Would you like to be a contestant in the Annual BGC Christmas Quiz? It's on December 23rd and will be lots of fun – full of madness and mayhem! We may even have some special guests. Send us an email expressing your interest to blindguyschat@gmail.com. Even if you just want to attend, and not take part in the quiz – let us know, and we'll send you on the joining details. So, stick your shades on; strip down to your Christmas reindeer socks; pour yourself a glass of eggnog (yuck!) and settle in to listen to the number 1 podcast as rated by Christmas films: Blind Guys Chat - 7 out of 8 Reindeers prefer it to falling off the roof!

Hello our wobbly hospital trolleys, and welcome to Episode 110 of BGC. It's a welcome back to Óran, fresh from his travels to the nearby hospital, all of 5 minutes away. Yes, it seems Óran is maintaining his hobby of having near death experiences every few years, much to Clodagh's distress. But anyway, all is good now and he is back steering the HMS BGC directly into a cliff! Poor Jan is in bed and on the tablets again as he can't believe the US presidential election result, but then again neither can Clodagh, Óran, or most of the world for that matter. Our guest this week is Fanny Bui. Fanny is here to chat about a fantastic blind and visually impaired event happening in Chemnitz, Germany next year. Chemnitz is the European Capital of Culture 2025. The organising team are blind people who live in Chemnitz who want to introduce you to their city. You can stay in a blind host family, who will guide from arrival to departure. You really don't need to bring a sighted person if you don't want to – you know how pesky they can be! The program includes a sound and touch city tour, a visit to the museum of archaeology, a visit to the blind school and training centre. There is also an option of a small hike in the nearby forest, climbing, or tandem biking. You can also try ‘Showdown' (we don't know – it's some kind of game), and the highlight of the weekend will be a concert organised by the ‘Low Vision Charts'. For more details visit: tinyurl.com/BGCchemnitz or email info@connectingblind.org. In TV Corner we are talking about two shows on Netflix: ‘The Lincoln Lawyer season 3' and season 2 of ‘The Diplomat'. Check them out. Clodagh has an email from Laurent, who writes from Belgium asking about the pros and cons of travelling through Europe as a blind individual. If any of you lovely listeners would like to share your positive and negative European travel experiences, you know who to email – Ghostbu… no, blindguyschat@gmail.com. It will help us plan our holidays for next year – keep the stories coming! So, pull off that oxygen mask, don't worry about your collapsed lung, and throw caution to the wind as you walk up the hospital corridor listening to BGC, forgetting that your rear end is fully exposed for all to admire!!

Show Notes: J.J. Bartlett kicks off the conversation with a short explanation on how his wife shaped his career in various ways. He took healthcare management in graduate school and his primary reason for this was his interest in extending healthcare coverage. The President Clinton and Hillary Clinton Health Plan had just failed in 1994, and he was interested in finding new ways to extend coverage. Health Coverage for Fishers J.J. shares his connection to the fishing industry, which includes individual fishermen working on boats as independent contractors. The majority of these individuals are men, with some women. He explains the situation of fishermen in the 90s, where half were uninsured, while the other half only had coverage through their spouse, Medicare, Medicaid, or junk coverage. The conversation turns to the structure of the plan for community health plans for independent professionals in Massachusetts which was a collaborative effort between fishermen, politicians, and other stakeholders. The plan was designed to provide coverage for those directly related to the fishing industry, requiring more than half of their income to come from fishing. This was done to ensure that income from commercial fishing was counted, and that no whaling or other issues were present. The plan was funded through federal and state funding, with the federal money being kicked in early and the state program being a state program. The federal money allowed the program to reduce the rate that fishermen paid on average by 60%, which was beneficial for taxpayers as they could afford it. This was done on a sliding scale that was redid every year to accommodate fluctuating incomes in the industry. The plan smoothed out a period for fishermen to afford coverage over a period of time, rather than going on and off coverage. J.J. shares a recent example of this which led to fishermen not being eligible for mass health. The Model for Obamacare J.J. talks about the origins of the Fishing Partner Health Plan healthcare system. The conversation turns to the Massachusetts State Health Plan, which became the model for Obamacare, and was influenced by the people involved in the Fishing Partner Health Plan healthcare system. Some of the lessons learned from the Fishing Partner Health Plan healthcare system include the importance of not carving out the most endangered population in the country, but recognizing the importance of providing healthcare through enrollment offices. J.J. shares an example of a successful implementation of the Fishing Partner Health Plan healthcare system. The lessons learned from the Fishing Partner Health Plan healthcare system can be applied to other industries to help ensure that the most vulnerable populations receive the necessary care and support. The Health Plan Today The health plan initially provided treatment for those in shock or depression following an accident, but it stopped in trying to get them insured. However, they now have a system of care available, including safety training for fishermen and a national grant program. This is a preventive measure for the deadliest job in the country. Additionally, they have relationships with trauma centers, providing treatment for those injured or witnessed the accident. This trauma care is available to employers within their HR department. After 15 years, Obamacare allowed people to transition to the new system. The Fishing Partnership Support Services J.J. talks about how many workers in many occupations do not have adequate coverage or even the ability to take time off for illness. At the top of the list are Massachusetts fishermen. The organization, Fishing Partnership Support Services, has been in operation since 1997 and focuses on providing various services to the fishing industry. It trains community health workers to help people transition from uninsured to insured, especially for fishermen with fluctuating incomes. The organization also runs a community health program that provides preventive care. They have also begun behavioral health services, addressing the issue of opioid overdoses among fishermen. J.J. also talks about the problem of dealing with extreme pain and addiction. Fishermen are more likely to die from opioid overdoses due to their job-related pain and the high costs associated with working on boats. The organization's navigators help address this issue by educating fishermen about the importance of their jobs and the need for first aid. They also provide training on carrying Narcan and its use, with navigators trained as recovery coaches. The organization partners with various treatment groups, including trauma support, to help fishermen navigate the challenges of substance use disorder and other workplace issues. Influential Harvard Courses and Professors J.J. highlights the importance of the people, such as Governor Maura Healey and Mayor of New Bedford, who have supported the program and worked with him. He also mentions the connection between the fishing industry and the city of Boston's history. He also mentions his experience working with Senator Kennedy and his staff.

Hello our Bermuda hurricanes and welcome to a blowy episode. We begin this episode reminiscing of cars long gone. Do you remember the Renault 4 or the Citroen BX or even the older Citroen DS? Yes, they might have been rust buckets and as unreliable as summer in Ireland but, at least they were quirky and fun to drive. Speaking of quirky and unreliable things, have you watched ‘Clarkson's Farm' on Amazon Prime? Give it a go. It has brought farmers to tears, not to mention the sheep!! Óran has a question for Jan and our listeners who have guide dogs. Have you ever found your doggy a little reluctant to put on their harness? Well Larry is becoming a little uncooperative when Óran wants him to work. Is Larry faking because there are no couches on his walk? Or is he showing signs of wanting to retire with his feet up, smoking a pipe and watching old reruns of Oprah on the TV? We discuss. We've got an email from Sarah in Brantford Ontario, Canada who is inviting BGC to come visit. Nora Nagle has been on to tell us that Donald Trumpy now has a 'Superstore' and if anyone knows what that is, please get in touch (blindguyschat@gmail.com). And speaking of that muppet, apparently, he now has his own winery! The guys would rather push a Fiat 500 up a 35-degree mountain than buy any of that stuff. So, forget about Henry the hurricane for a while. Strip off your wind breaker, turn the volume up to 11, and get ready for the greatest podcast this side of an electric car parked at a petrol pump: Blind Guys Chat. 19 out of 20 grapes prefer it to being in a Trump wine bottle.

Sam Jones and Mark Beyer discuss the state of renewables projects in WA. Plus all the latest on the BGC legal dispute, Patriot's billion-dollar lithium project; and Roger Cook tells Anthony Albanese to apologise.
Hello our fast and furious Olympians, and welcome to ep 103 of BGC. We have a full house this week as Jan is back from his 11th holiday of the year, and Mohammed Laachir is back with us again fresh from NFB in Florida, having enjoyed their all you can eat buffet. Yes, Jan handed the car keys over to Tycho while he, Chantal and Princess Rosalie sat in the back seat of their lovely electric vehicle. After a 63-hour trip taking in the Norwegian fjords, St Paul's Cathedral and the Brandenburg Gate, they eventually arrived in Camp Nou, Barcelona's famous stadium, where fistfuls of money changed hands in order to purchase a Barca t-shirt and a can of coke. Oh, and Princess Rosalie bought some rather expensive makeup in a big international cosmetics and skincare store, or at least that's what Jan said. Mohammed has just returned from NFB 2024 where he was demonstrating the new Picture Smart AI with JAWS. This is a cool new feature built right into JAWS allowing a user to scan a picture and hear what its contents are. Fair play to Mo for helping with the development of this feature. While he was at NFB, Mohammed took the opportunity to take his hoover for a walk. Ahem... sorry, we mean the new Glide guide dog thingy from Glidance. Will Mohammed be purchasing? Tune in to find out! So, jump off your pommel horse with a perfect 10; stay away from the Olympic cauldron – it's not a BBQ! Put down that shotput before your do yourself some damage, and get ready to listen to the best podcast in the world: Blind Guys Chat - 10 out of 15 boxing gloves prefer it to boxing.

Hello our favourite funny people, and welcome to episode 102 of BGC. Since Jan is off on another holiday (we're not at all jealous!) we devote the entire episode to our wonderful guest, Sydney May. Sydney lives in Brighton and works for the Thomas Pocklington Trust. But that's not all! Sydney is also a comedian and plays bass in her band - Torrid (A love affair). Check them out on Spotify (link here). Sydney is also an accessibility tester, and an inspirational speaker, and will be giving presentations around the UK during all the Sight Village events this year. And if all that is not enough, she's also a football fan and a big supporter of Arsenal. It's a fun interview and Óran and Clodagh thoroughly enjoyed their chat with Sydney. So, forget about stripping down to your diving trunks for now, and instead have a listen to the only Olympic gold medal event worth shouting for: Blind Guys Chat. 8 and a half out of 10 Olympic judo doers prefer it to two judo dojos.

Hello our little party poppers, and welcome to episode 100 of BGC! Yes, can you believe it's been 100 years since we first started? ...Ahem, that doesn't seem correct... Anyway, let's carry on. To help us celebrate this historic show we are joined by our own Scottish kilt: Blind Gordon, the Bambi Thug of the podcasting world: Kevin Sherwin, and our own personal Accessibility Discovery Centre: Brian Dalton, not to mention the wonderful Clodagh O'Donovan, about whom we can't think of anything to say that won't get us in trouble! It's a show of reminiscing, with a little sprinkling of Euro football and Dutch politics on top. Clodagh kicks it all off with her favourite topic; Christmas! And believe it or not, she actually got to meet Santa recently and they had a robust conversation regarding the non-delivery of long-promised snow over the past few Christmases. Poor Santa
Nick is joined by Rishi Persad to discuss the latest news and events from around the racing world. They lead with the Irish Derby this weekend, and talk Ambiente Friendly vs Los Angeles, while trainer Roger Varian gives a positive bulletin on Matsuri, while outlining immediate plans for this season's Group One winners Charyn and Elmalka. Also on today's show, Australian Bloodstock's Jamie Lovett tells us about the purchase of Sayedati Sadati and the horse's future in the Uk and Aus, while Michael Dugher reveals the total contributions to charity from the BGC's Britannia initiative and has his say on the Radio 4 Tips issue. Dan Barber has the Timeform perspective on the Top 5 performances from Royal Ascot and the 2 yo ratings, plus our Weatherbys Bloodstcock guest this week is a first from Turkey: Kutay Yusufoglu, Manager of Breeding Operations for the Jockey Club of Turkey.
Season 7 of the Same Business Different Day podcast is extended! Welcome back as Zeke sits down with Matt Koumaras, President & CEO of the Boys & Girls Club of Vista. Many of us have been involved with BGC in one way or another, but Matt's involvement in causes that matter to him goes above and beyond. In this episode, Matt tells Zeke about his own upbringing, and now witnessing the unique adversities of some of the children that come through his organization. He also discusses the obstacles of running a non-profit organization, the importance of thoughtful fundraising, and being a truly humble servant leader. Our show is all about stories like Matt's because no two are the same. Thank you Matt for joining us, and we hope that you all enjoy this episode as much as we did!

Mark Beyer and Mark Pownall discuss the Chinese premier's visit to WA; outlook of critical minerals; iron ore mines closure; Peter Dutton's nuclear plan; WA's gas market, board changes at Woodside and BGC; and a preview of the next magazine.
Elizabeth Avery and G+T Ventures head Xavier Keary investigate the coming collision of venture capital and the new merger proposals as the ACCC draws the line at market power. You can't enter a box junction unless your exit is clear -- is it the same for the startup sector, and what does that mean for economic dynamism? Plus merger reforms and AI were discussed and the Chatham House rule was observed at the Hodgekiss Competition Law Conference; market share thresholds and call in powers under the new merger framework; third parties do a Michelle Heyman around the ACCC's decision in Brickworks v BGC and legal privilege in expert reports; private misuse of market power actions against Sony and more; and could school apps be a natural monopoly? All this and professional-grade sporting analogies with co-hosts Moya Dodd and Matt Rubinstein.

Hello little bumblebees and welcome to episode 99. This week we welcome back guest host Brian Dalton. Brian joined the Blind Guys on a school trip to the Dublin Royal Convention Centre last Saturday. Yes, we've hit the big time - BGC were invited to speak at the Retina International World Congress 2024 about assistive technology and how it helps us in our daily lives. What a thrill it must have been for those 6 million attendees to see us in real life, eh?! Ah no, seriously, we had a wonderful time at this excellent event, and it was an honour to be involved. You can hear our presentation on this week's show where you will hear us talk about IBM's Apollo screen reader, the EmBraille, Cobolt air fryers, and much more. A special thanks to Fighting Blindness who hosted RIWC24, AV Partners who allowed Clodagh behind the velvet rope to monitor the tech end of things, and to all the fab volunteers who worked at the event across the 4 days. Also, on the show we talk about another field trip we took recently to Google's new Accessible Discovery Centre in Dublin. Brian, Clodagh, Óran and Larry went to have a look at all the cool stuff they have. Óran was particularly impressed with a low-tech device called a social barometer pin, while Larry was happy to see another doggy in the building. It was a great experience and the people at Google were fantastic. The guys thoroughly recommend you visit ADC Dublin. You can book your tour via this email address: adc-dublin@google.com. Tell them Blind Guys Chat sent you! So, take an ice cream out of the freezer, pop out to the garden and soak up the wonderfully refreshing UV rays from the best podcast of the summer: Blind Guys Chat! 17 out of 20 conference centres prefer it to providing catering.

So, settle in and listen to us rant, rave, applaud and appraise, and generally share our thoughts on this year's Eurovision song contest, which was held in Sweden last weekend. It'll be a rip roaring, barn burning, parrot singing, dog crying, rabbit sunbathing show you won't want to miss.

Signs of clarity come to the UK gambling space as both the Gambling Commission and Betting and Gaming Council offer a clearer insight into how affordability checks will be applied. Announced this morning, the BGC and UKGC, in tandem, unveiled the establishment of a new voluntary code on customer checks', which is said to minimise friction of financial checks and improve consistencies in know-your-customer duties. In addition, the UKGC also looks set to implement some, quote on quote, ‘light touch' affordability checks, with the intention of ‘boosting safety and choice for consumers'This will be the topic of today's episode of iGaming Daily, supported by Optimove, with me your host, James Ross, am joined by SBC News' Content Director, Ted Menmuir and CasinoBeats Editor, Joe Streeter.

NIck is joined by Mirror writer David Yates to take a look at the racing news from around the world. In Grand National week, the Jockey Club have announced prize money cuts for later in 2024, which are explained by their CEO Nevin Truesdale. Nick also touches on this year's protest threats. Also in Grand National news, owner Paul Byrne tells Nick which of the three fancies he is/has been involved with has the best chance. Elsewhere, Debbie Kepitis tells Nick why she went to a record shattering AUS$10m to buy out the Winx yearling filly, and Seamie Heffernan reflects on a marquee weekend at Leopardstown. Nick and Dave also talk Frankie Dettori's six timer, Aidan Coleman's retirement, and a new CEO at the BGC.
Read transcriptHello our little spring butterflies and welcome to episode 94 of BGC. Our guest host on this show is our good friend Nora Nagle, who joins us all the way from Boston, Massachusetts. Nora's retired guide dog, Larry, is also making an appearance every now and again with woofs and pleas for treats. Nora has just returned from a world tour of Miami beach where her husband was able to give her a very detailed review of the local wildlife and their different coloured thongs. Jan and Óran may need a minute or two here for a short break. We move swiftly onto this year's CSUN conference which was in Anaheim, California. Óran is intrigued by 'JAWS Kiosk' which is already rolling out in the USA. This development allows blind and low vision customers to interact with the ordering stations in, for example a MacDonald's outlet, simply by plugging in their headset where a screen reader will provide feedback just like using an Apple or Android smartphone. Brilliant! Jan is very interested in a prototype product called Glide, a self-guided mobility aid: the device uses "real-time data from an array of advanced sensors, and autonomously steers the way. It maps the best routes, identifies targets of interest, and avoids obstacles to get you safely to your destination." Apparently, it looks a little like a vacuum cleaner so you can vacuum up the pavements while you are walking to your location. Óran is also interested in the Orbit Q20 and Q40 Braille displays which offer 20 or 40 braille cells with a QWERTY keypad. Come on Vispero... get with the program! Ever heard of "Birding by ear"? Ever wanted to know what birds are keeping you awake in the morning? Well then try this app Merlin Bird ID by Cornell Lab of Ornithology, Cornell University. Nora and Larry highly recommend it. Our guest this week is Marcel Janssen from The Netherlands. Marcel is the Director of Education at Royal Visio, the Dutch centre of expertise for blind and low vision people. Marcel has been working in education for 40 years and is responsible for the education of 2500 visually impaired students and 5 schools in the Netherlands. Unfortunately for Marcel, he was responsible for looking after Jan during their 2 trips to Nigeria in the early and mid 2000's. Marcel is also involved with the organising of the tactile reading and graphics conference which is being held in Amsterdam in June 2025. The conference brings together people within the tactile reading field, academics, and practitioners, to share knowledge and ideas, and provides a forum for international collaboration. And if that wasn't enough, Marcel is also responsible for creating Braille chocolate letters in the Netherlands. Nora has a tip for Mohamed regarding dates and Clodagh has emails from Olivia who is not very happy with Óran, and another email from " RuPatrick". So strip down to your flooded thongs, throw your towel on a deckchair, and get ready to soak up the wonderful nontoxic rays of the coolest podcast this side of a jewel-encrusted Miami drug dealer's wife: Blind Guys Chat 5 out of 10 turkeys prefer it to slamming into buildings.

Hello our bouncy little spring lambs and welcome to episode 93 of BGC. Unfortunately, Óran is not feeling too well this week as he has a pain in his hoop! Yes, he has had an altercation with a grocery collection and in particular with the bags the goods are packed in. Do you sympathise with him? Listen to his story and email us: blindguyschat@gmail.com. Clodagh has ordered a cup of coffee and a cake from the local café and is awaiting its arrival via a drone. Jan and Óran are somewhat sceptical and decided traditional transport i.e. getting Sjef and Larry to collect it and bring it back home is a more sensible method. But if you want to give drone delivery a go, check to see if Manna drone delivery is available in your area. (www.manna.aero) Our guests this week are Berni Warren and Melanie Prichard from The Braillists Foundation (www.braillists.org). Berni is responsible for setting up the Braillists Book Club (www.braillists.org/uncategorised/join-us-in-the-book-club) which Óran is potty about. Melanie runs the Braille for beginners course which also is an initiative of The Braillists Foundation. Jan and Óran have a great time talking to the ladies about Braille, sight loss, and everything in between. If you would like more information on the book club or Braille for beginners, then go to www.braillists.org and check out the site. In TV Corner the guys are promoting, ‘Loudermilk' and ‘The Gentlemen' on Netflix. And before we go, Jan gives us a rendition of the Dutch entry for this year's Eurovision Song Contest. Can he do it justice? Good question! Clodagh has an email from Gary Hough who is not looking forward to the winter months heading his way. Also Mohammed Laachir has an audio message for the Blind Guys. Apparently, he is under a bus... So, open up your Braille books to page 1 and settle in for the most thrilling of podcasts: Blind Guys Chat 33 out of 40 hardcopy Braille books prefer it to reading print.

Hello our little snow ploughs! Welcome to this episode of BGC. This week, we are joined by our guest host, Brian Dalton. Brian has had a very interesting life, as you will find out right from the start. Jan and Óran finally discover the answer to a burning question: if blind from birth, do you see in your dreams? Brian and one other have the answer. Have you ever experienced Non-24? Well, Brian has, and he's got some very strange tales to tell when he eventually falls asleep. Not on the show of course!! Jan has a new addition to the household, or shall we say, he managed to open his wallet using a crowbar and spend the cash inside on a new vacuum cleaner called a Roomba. He can use his Google Home to set it off to do chores, and it can even go under his bed. Watch out little dust mites! Our guest this week is Christopher Patnoe, Head of Accessibility and Disability Inclusion, EMEA @ Google. He tells us how he got started in accessibility and all about the Accessibility Discovery Center (ADC) in London. It's a cool place and open to the public; all you have to do is send an email to adclondon@gmail.com to make a booking. Brian briefly shoves Óran off his soapbox as he wants to talk about the lack of audio description in cinemas. Are you experiencing this? Let us know at blindguyschat@gmail.com. Clodagh's got an email from Darragh who is looking for some advice on kitchen accessories. Brian suggests a Cobalt air fryer, and Jan has a cool light meter that helps him when making coffee. Finally, if you want to hear more from Brian, tune in to Team FM for his 'Welcome to the Weekend' radio show. So, put your rabbit on the Hoover and watch it spin round and round with excitement. Tell Google Home to make you a coffee and settle down to be mystified by Blind Guys Chat. 19 out of 20 robots on the moon prefer it to lying on their sides after landing.

Tune into episode 120 to hear Jake and Chad's stories and their thoughts on the value mentorship and coaching provide to any community. https://www.andrewtemte.com/
How do you make or earn extra cash or money in your spare time or free time? Whatever it is that you're going to side hustle, my opinion is that you have to be one of the best in that area. You have to be one of the best, if not the best. Otherwise, you're going to be competing your entire life and you're going to be competing in a downward spiral. That's a price war because the market is like that. You will lower the price as long as you have something to earn. And, of course you're going to lose out on some good clients because there's a much lower price out there, offering a lowball price. Whatever it is, if you're not the best, clients will get the next cheaper guy or girl. Whatever it is, right? Whatever it is you decide to side hustle, may it be freelance writing or body fitness trainer, as long as you're good in that field, why not? There are also dog walkers in BGC, I just learned this now, so I didn't know that existed. I don't know if you can be the best dog walker in the Philippines, but these are side hustles that exist and there's a lot more that you can do in your free time. I just happened to choose SEO, and it just happened to grow into the industry that it is today. And then I just happen to be really good at it. I'm sure you've heard and seen so many videos, so many people talking about side hustles—what they are, what you can do, how much you can earn. That's really not what I want you to take away from this video because there is already a lot of content about this out there. But what I want you to take away from this video is that, whatever it is—whatever side hustle you choose—you have to be the best at it. Double down on something that you feel so strongly about that you place your entire life as a bet doing that thing so that you become the best in that. I don't compete on price. At SEO Hacker, we don't engage in price-based competition. I'm not in a rush to acquire clients. If you're the best at what you do, you're not at the mercy of clients. Clients will come running to you and they're willing to pay. I'm not in a hurry to get clients. I can wait a year or more. So that's why what I want you to take home is if you're going to choose a side hustle that you're going to want to turn into a business someday, you got to be the best at it, so they will be the one coming right after you, and you can price at whatever price point you want. Is it really critical that we are priced this way? Everything is arbitrary. At the end of the day, if you want to price it this way, if you want to produce this much value, double, triple, that's okay. If I produce four times the value, I price it four times higher, that's also okay, because pricing is perception of value. At the end of the day, you can price it any way you want and you can compete any way you want. Just don't compete on a downward spiral. If you're not the best at what you do, if you're just a 'me too' business or a 'me too' side hustle, potential clients will likely lowball you. They will say, 'Well, you are not known, and another company offers it at this price.' With that, you may feel compelled to adjust to a certain price point which for you is not good. Why? Because time is the building block of life. You only have one life and your time is on a straight line. 24 hours a day. That's it. If you give some of that time to some people who are willing to pay you less, then you're just wasting that time. You're wasting that amount of life in that area. That's my advice for you. --- Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/leadershipstack Join our community and ask questions here: from.sean.si/discord Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/leadershipstack Youtube: leadme.ph/youtube TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@leadershipstack Leadership Stack Merch: https://leadershipstack.com/shop/
