When it comes to firms that design for multifamily, there are two sides to marketing. First, the company must create its own brand and promotional material. Then it assists in marketing for the client that it serves. In this month's episode of Multi-Housing News's Top Marketers podcast, Chief Visionary Officer & Founder of Loft Six Four, Brandon Reed, joins MHN Senior Associate Editor Jordana Rothberg to talk about just that. Loft Six Four assists architects and developers in creating rooftop and outdoor living experiences and amenity spaces. Started in 2013, the company uses landscape, urban and rooftop design to customize multifamily, hotel and resort projects. Reed has been in the project management and design space for real estate for more than 20 years. Tune in to hear his insights on: ·      How he got into design and founded Loft Six Four (1:00) ·      Finding passion and value in landscape design (3:45) ·      The Loft Six Four marketing approach (5:00) ·      The “immersive experience method” and how it drives business (9:55) ·      Collaborating with multifamily companies' internal marketing teams (15:10) ·      Hurdles in communicating value to multifamily owners and developers (16:30) ·      The evolving space of outdoor living and adapting marketing to keep up (20:35) ·      How Loft Six Four is leveraging the importance of amenities in its branding (24:00)

In this episode of The Best Ever CRE Show, Slocomb Reed interviews Brandon Reed, founder and chief visionary officer of Loft Six Four, a boutique firm specializing in rooftop amenities for large apartment complexes. Brandon shares insights from his landscape architecture background and how his firm has evolved to focus on creating immersive outdoor experiences that drive property value. Despite the current narrative of development slowdown, Brandon reveals they handle 30-50 projects annually, though this represents a 50% drop from peak levels. He notes that development continues in markets like Dallas and Utah, primarily driven by well-capitalized developers with deep pockets or family offices who can weather high interest rates. Brandon explains that properly designed amenities can generate an additional 10-20 cents per square foot per month in rent and help maintain high occupancy rates. The conversation explores trends in amenity design, with a focus on creating hospitality-like experiences that foster community and justify premium rents. Brandon emphasizes that while individual amenities like pools and fire pits are important, the key is creating cohesive outdoor living spaces that become talking points and drive resident retention.

Kelly is joined by Brandon Reed and Ben Fowler to discuss each of their careers in combat sports.  Episode recorded 4/30/2023.

In a spontaneous episode I discussed five different aspects of the business of podcasting – from using AI to “audio or video?”, to leveraging the star power and engagement power of podcasting. You'll hear from: Michael Kaye, Director of Brand & Communications for OkCupid, an online dating app; Brandon Reed, Host, formerly tired dad, and creator of 12 Hour Sound Machines, a viral podcast that helps people sleep; Bona Rai, COO and Co-founder of Capsho, the tool that helped E.B. use AI to generate these very show notes (!); Chris Whitman, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer of GlassBox Media, think 'music label-meets-podcast marketing machine';  A.J. Feliciano, Head of The Roost Podcast Network from Warner Bros Discovery, that started the groundswell of podcasts leveraging video and has his finger on the pulse of monetizing best practices to meet the consumer where they're consuming content.  It's five inspiring chats that reveal the brilliant possibilities of audio and video for the future including: How OkCupid leverages podcasting for success - earned or owned? The business model behind the 12 Hour Sound Machines podcast What Capsho is, and how this new tool taps AI to help podcasters save time How GlassBox Media cracks the code on growing podcast awareness and ups the value of creator IP A spontaneous interview at the Sounds Profitable event in Austin When is a podcast a video and a video a podcast? How should brands embrace the consumer's content journey? The Roost tells all. Chapter Summaries/Time Codes: [00:00:01] This is episode 5 of Insider Interviews, with five different guests included. Each of my guests spoke about a different area of the business of podcasting. This was recorded spontaneously right after a panel I conducted during SXSW for Sounds Profitable, featuring one of the panelists and four members of the audio .... [00:01:42] Michael Kaye, director of communications at OkCupid is naturally inclined towards earned, but says: "We've seen tremendous impact from both podcast advertising and from earned, pitching our experts to appear on other shows. In 2023, we'll be looking again at podcast advertising." [00:03:57] Brandon Reed's podcast is called 12-Hour Sound Machines. It was created when his newborn couldn't sleep through the night, now enjoying about 300,000 downloads a day. Reed started by first directly selling to brands, but now he's on Megaphone, in the Spotify Audience Network so programmatic sales is a really good solution for him. Hear his explanation of why the moments before falling asleep are actually a powerful moment for advertisers.... [00:09:12] Bona Rai is a co-founder of Capsho, a product that uses AI to tap audio files to create SEO-optimized content for podcasts. At just 10 months old they're already embracing a more robust version of Capsho 2.0 coming this Spring. [Note: I tried out Capsho 1.0 for most of these show notes, with an added “human touch!”] [00:14:15] Chris Whitman describes GlassBox Media like a record label for podcast hosts. Its goal is to grow the value of the IP for the creators across any sort of opportunity from a revenue perspective. "Now we represent around 65 shows, with no end in sight.” [00:18:58] A.J. Feliciano explains that The Roost podcast network is a video-first podcast network. “We have about 90 shows, a third of them are owned and operated. What is it about multiplatform distribution on podcasts that makes it so worthwhile for other podcasters?” [00:21:18] Our thinking around YouTube is that it's less that it's about video, and more about the platform itself. Who's your target audience and where have they been conditioned to go to just consume content? And that's why we're seeing podcast-like content bringing such big numbers there. [00:23:54] The Roost podcast will always have a foundation in audio. It can have video, it can be on YouTube. Heck,

This week on The Download: Podcast profits on the rise in the UK, white noise podcasts prove profitable, and the first Sounds Profitable Business Leader's Summit is headed to Podcast Movement. As is true of many episodes of The Download, we start with an article published on Tuesday. Bron Maher of the Press Gazette published “The Economist considers audio paywall as podcasts reach 3 million people a month.” The lede is somewhat buried, as the interesting information lies not in the framework of The Economist’s future plans to paywall podcasts, but in just how much traffic those free podcasts bring in. Prior to the launch of the publication’s flagship podcast The Intelligence, The Economist had seven full-time employees dedicated to podcasting. As of 2022 that number has ballooned to thirty of the paper’s nearly 320 staff. Quoting the article: “The Intelligence gets approximately 350,000 downloads an episode. In a month, Prideaux said the podcast can now reach as many as two million listeners. During peak coverage of the invasion of Ukraine, the figure hit two and a half million. Across its entire podcast stable, The Economist is now being listened to by more than three million people a month. That compares against 1.2 million print subscribers – while its digital circulation in the second half of 2021 was 995,228, according to its ABC report.” John Prideaux, director of podcasts for The Economist, notes that the podcasting wing’s success brings an unexpected level of familiarity with one’s audience. The Economist’s longstanding policy on not publishing bylines does not extend to their shows, allowing parasocial relationships to blossom where they wouldn’t in articles of identical information without an author attached. Maher quotes Prideaux: “I mean, it’s a bit of a surprise – some of our people, who are on the podcast, they suddenly get not exactly recognised, but internet famous in a way that is new for a place with no bylines. And some of them find that a bit alarming.” Regardless of whether the publication paywalls previously free content, nearly two decades of embracing podcasting has lead The Economist to a point where a fraction of its staff bring in more impressions via podcast audience than the actual published paper. Jacob Kastrenakes, writing for Hot Pod Insider, covered several iHeartMedia higher-ups appearing at Tuesday’s J.P. Morgan Global Tech, Media, and Communications Conference. The main takeaway of the talk? iHeart believes there’s a finite window in which one can determine if a podcast can be made successful purely through promotion. “First off, a show has to be good, according to Bob Pittman, iHeart’s CEO and chairman. ‘We can’t make something that’s not a hit a hit,’ he said. From there, it comes down to marketing. ‘What we can generally find is probably in two or three weeks, we can see if we've got a hit or not with heavy promotion.’” Though, unlike radio, a lack of success during launch window doesn’t spell death for the product. Kastrenakes quotes Pittman as saying podcasts have “unlimited shelf space.” Without a limited amount of bandwidth on which to program, iHeart is able to take risks on relatively cheaper production costs and - even if it doesn’t take off in the 2 to 3 week launch period - allow the product to exist on its own in hopes outside forces lead to a free resurgence in popularity. Once again we circle back to the global story of podcasting doing well everywhere, not just in the North American markets. Quite well, in fact, according to Aisha Majid’s article on the latest Digital Publishers’ Revenue Index for the Press Gazette. “Among the sample of 12 publishers included in the report, which was produced by the Association of Online Publishers (AOP) and Deloitte, audio revenue hit £4.2m in the first quarter of this year. This was six times what they made in the first quarter of 2021.” Deloitte’s Dan Ison claims daily podcast listening has caught up to online radio in the UK, growing to the point one in ten adults under 25 pay for at least one form of premium podcast subscription. AOP managing director Richard Reeves, as quoted by Majid, said: “We’ve seen revenue for digital audio grow steadily over the last few quarters, driven in part by what’s being deemed the ‘golden age of podcasts’. The 500% revenue growth reported for this channel in Q1 2022 demonstrates that publishers are now successfully monetising this type of content.” This next bit of news is home-grown as it comes direct from Sounds Profitable founder—and former host of The Download—Bryan Barletta. In partnership with Podcast Movement, the first Sounds Profitable Business Leaders Summit will take place August 23rd in Dallas, Texas. “On its own, a one-day business-focused event would be a hard sell to just about anyone, even in NYC or LA. But as an industry, we absolutely need one. A day dedicated to the real tough conversations that the industry needs to have in order for us to drive the progress that leads to a $4bn US podcast advertising industry and then some. So, for an event like this to thrive, it would need to be attached to the undisputed leading podcast industry event in America.” The summit is slated to kick off with the Sounds Profitable quarterly research report. “Measurement, video, and programmatic are words we hear in conversation every single day. Sometimes positively, occasionally from a negative perspective, and most often from a place of curiosity. So we’ve gathered the best and brightest to make sure we’re all on the same page, as each of these three topics continue to grow in popularity and importance.” While the quarterly report will be available publicly, the rest of the Summit - keeping in line with a key goal of fostering candid conversations on where to take the future of podcasting - will only be accessible to members of companies that sponsor Sounds Profitable. For our last full story of the week we turn to Ashley Carman’s Bloomberg piece from Wednesday: Spotify Podcasters Are Making $18,000 a Month With Nothing But White Noise. Carman’s brief journey into the world of white noise podcasting reveals a surprisingly healthy field of competing products all fundamentally designed to serve up calming soundscapes to put audiences to sleep, all while running occasional ads to their slumbering subscribers. Quoting Carman: “Those who did respond to interview requests say they are making good money, winning over fans and marveling at the power of podcast distribution. Collectively, the shows represent a burgeoning and lucrative podcast genre.” Take, for instance, the story of Brandon Reed: a man whose podcasting career started by using Anchor more as a file hosting platform for white noise to soothe his own son rather than intending on distributing the files globally. Three years later things are extremely different. Quoting Carman again: “His inadvertent hit has also made the charts on Apple Inc.’s Podcasts app and has reached over 26.6 million total listens, he said. Reed now offers a $2.99 monthly subscription, which gives paying customers access to additional sounds and the ability to request new ones. When a chiropractor needed railroad clacking for an anxious patient, Reed went out and captured it. So far, he’s made over $10,000 through subscriptions.” At the risk of reigniting years-old social media arguments as to what it means for a piece of media to qualify as a podcast, these snippets from the world of calming noise serve as a reminder that restrictive views of podcasts both in format and content can leave niches unserved. And finally, befitting of a short episode we only have one article for our semi-recurring segment spotlighting articles worth reading that didn’t quite make it into the episode. This week The Download recommends The Podcast in Quebec in 2021 by Bruno Guglielminetti. Fair warning, the post is in French, but it contains statistics relevant to The Download’s ongoing coverage of podcasting’s growth in global markets. Time to dust off that vocab textbook from college. The Download is a production of Sounds Profitable. Today's episode was hosted by Shreya Sharma and Manuela Bedoya, and the script was written by Gavin Gaddis. Bryan Barletta and Evo Terra are the executive producers of The Download from Sounds Profitable. Evo Terra edited today's episode.

So, for an event like this to thrive, it would need to be attached to the undisputed leading podcast industry event in America.”  The summit is slated to kick off with the Sounds Profitable quarterly research report.  “Measurement, video, and programmatic are words we hear in conversation every single day. Sometimes positively, occasionally from a negative perspective, and most often from a place of curiosity. So we've gathered the best and brightest to make sure we're all on the same page, as each of these three topics continue to grow in popularity and importance.” While the quarterly report will be available publicly, the rest of the Summit - keeping in line with a key goal of fostering candid conversations on where to take the future of podcasting - will only be accessible to members of companies that sponsor Sounds Profitable.  For our last full story of the week we turn to Ashley Carman's Bloomberg piece from Wednesday: Spotify Podcasters Are Making $18,000 a Month With Nothing But White Noise.  Carman's brief journey into the world of white noise podcasting reveals a surprisingly healthy field of competing products all fundamentally designed to serve up calming soundscapes to put audiences to sleep, all while running occasional ads to their slumbering subscribers. Quoting Carman: “Those who did respond to interview requests say they are making good money, winning over fans and marveling at the power of podcast distribution. Collectively, the shows represent a burgeoning and lucrative podcast genre.” Take, for instance, the story of Brandon Reed: a man whose podcasting career started by using Anchor more as a file hosting platform for white noise to soothe his own son rather than intending on distributing the files globally. Three years later things are extremely different. Quoting Carman again: “His inadvertent hit has also made the charts on Apple Inc.'s Podcasts app and has reached over 26.6 million total listens, he said. Reed now offers a $2.99 monthly subscription, which gives paying customers access to additional sounds and the ability to request new ones. When a chiropractor needed railroad clacking for an anxious patient, Reed went out and captured it. So far, he's made over $10,000 through subscriptions.” At the risk of reigniting years-old social media arguments as to what it means for a piece of media to qualify as a podcast, these snippets from the world of calming noise serve as a reminder that restrictive views of podcasts both in format and content can leave niches unserved.  And finally, befitting of a short episode we only have one article for our semi-recurring segment spotlighting articles worth reading that didn't quite make it into the episode. This week The Download recommends The Podcast in Quebec in 2021 by Bruno Guglielminetti.  Fair warning, the post is in French, but it contains statistics relevant to The Download's ongoing coverage of podcasting's growth in global markets.

This week on The Download: Podcast profits on the rise in the UK, white noise podcasts prove profitable, and the first Sounds Profitable Business Leader's Summit is headed to Podcast Movement. As is true of many episodes of The Download, we start with an article published on Tuesday. Bron Maher of the Press Gazette published “The Economist considers audio paywall as podcasts reach 3 million people a month.” The lede is somewhat buried, as the interesting information lies not in the framework of The Economist’s future plans to paywall podcasts, but in just how much traffic those free podcasts bring in. Prior to the launch of the publication’s flagship podcast The Intelligence, The Economist had seven full-time employees dedicated to podcasting. As of 2022 that number has ballooned to thirty of the paper’s nearly 320 staff. Quoting the article: “The Intelligence gets approximately 350,000 downloads an episode. In a month, Prideaux said the podcast can now reach as many as two million listeners. During peak coverage of the invasion of Ukraine, the figure hit two and a half million. Across its entire podcast stable, The Economist is now being listened to by more than three million people a month. That compares against 1.2 million print subscribers – while its digital circulation in the second half of 2021 was 995,228, according to its ABC report.” John Prideaux, director of podcasts for The Economist, notes that the podcasting wing’s success brings an unexpected level of familiarity with one’s audience. The Economist’s longstanding policy on not publishing bylines does not extend to their shows, allowing parasocial relationships to blossom where they wouldn’t in articles of identical information without an author attached. Maher quotes Prideaux: “I mean, it’s a bit of a surprise – some of our people, who are on the podcast, they suddenly get not exactly recognised, but internet famous in a way that is new for a place with no bylines. And some of them find that a bit alarming.” Regardless of whether the publication paywalls previously free content, nearly two decades of embracing podcasting has lead The Economist to a point where a fraction of its staff bring in more impressions via podcast audience than the actual published paper. Jacob Kastrenakes, writing for Hot Pod Insider, covered several iHeartMedia higher-ups appearing at Tuesday’s J.P. Morgan Global Tech, Media, and Communications Conference. The main takeaway of the talk? iHeart believes there’s a finite window in which one can determine if a podcast can be made successful purely through promotion. “First off, a show has to be good, according to Bob Pittman, iHeart’s CEO and chairman. ‘We can’t make something that’s not a hit a hit,’ he said. From there, it comes down to marketing. ‘What we can generally find is probably in two or three weeks, we can see if we've got a hit or not with heavy promotion.’” Though, unlike radio, a lack of success during launch window doesn’t spell death for the product. Kastrenakes quotes Pittman as saying podcasts have “unlimited shelf space.” Without a limited amount of bandwidth on which to program, iHeart is able to take risks on relatively cheaper production costs and - even if it doesn’t take off in the 2 to 3 week launch period - allow the product to exist on its own in hopes outside forces lead to a free resurgence in popularity. Once again we circle back to the global story of podcasting doing well everywhere, not just in the North American markets. Quite well, in fact, according to Aisha Majid’s article on the latest Digital Publishers’ Revenue Index for the Press Gazette. “Among the sample of 12 publishers included in the report, which was produced by the Association of Online Publishers (AOP) and Deloitte, audio revenue hit £4.2m in the first quarter of this year. This was six times what they made in the first quarter of 2021.” Deloitte’s Dan Ison claims daily podcast listening has caught up to online radio in the UK, growing to the point one in ten adults under 25 pay for at least one form of premium podcast subscription. AOP managing director Richard Reeves, as quoted by Majid, said: “We’ve seen revenue for digital audio grow steadily over the last few quarters, driven in part by what’s being deemed the ‘golden age of podcasts’. The 500% revenue growth reported for this channel in Q1 2022 demonstrates that publishers are now successfully monetising this type of content.” This next bit of news is home-grown as it comes direct from Sounds Profitable founder—and former host of The Download—Bryan Barletta. In partnership with Podcast Movement, the first Sounds Profitable Business Leaders Summit will take place August 23rd in Dallas, Texas. “On its own, a one-day business-focused event would be a hard sell to just about anyone, even in NYC or LA. But as an industry, we absolutely need one. A day dedicated to the real tough conversations that the industry needs to have in order for us to drive the progress that leads to a $4bn US podcast advertising industry and then some. So, for an event like this to thrive, it would need to be attached to the undisputed leading podcast industry event in America.” The summit is slated to kick off with the Sounds Profitable quarterly research report. “Measurement, video, and programmatic are words we hear in conversation every single day. Sometimes positively, occasionally from a negative perspective, and most often from a place of curiosity. So we’ve gathered the best and brightest to make sure we’re all on the same page, as each of these three topics continue to grow in popularity and importance.” While the quarterly report will be available publicly, the rest of the Summit - keeping in line with a key goal of fostering candid conversations on where to take the future of podcasting - will only be accessible to members of companies that sponsor Sounds Profitable. For our last full story of the week we turn to Ashley Carman’s Bloomberg piece from Wednesday: Spotify Podcasters Are Making $18,000 a Month With Nothing But White Noise.

Esta semana en La Descarga: The Economist contempla cobrar por escuchar sus podcasts, iHeartMedia señala la expectativa de vida de un podcast no exitoso, y el ruido blanco como podcast resulta lucrativo. Este martes, Bron Maher del Press Gazette escribió sobre la posibilidad de que los 3 millones de oyentes mensuales de los podcasts de The Economist tendrán que pagar para seguir escuchándolos. La información interesante no se ubica en los planes de The Economist para implementar una tarifa para oír sus podcasts, sino en el enorme tráfico que generan sus podcasts gratuitos. Antes que la empresa lanzara su podcast insignia llamado The Intelligence, The Economist empleaba a tiempo completo solo siete personas que se dedicaban a las operaciones de podcasting. A partir de 2022, esa cantidad se ha disparado a treinta de los aproximadamente 320 en total. Citando el artículo: “The Intelligence' llega a casi trescientos y cincuenta mil descargas por episodio. En un mes, Prideaux dijo que el podcast ahora puede llegar a dos millones de oyentes. Durante el pico de cobertura de la invasión de Ucrania, la cifra alcanzó los dos millones y medio. En su catálogo de podcasts, The Economist ahora es escuchado por más de tres millones de personas al mes. Eso se compara con 1,2 millones de suscriptores al periódico impreso, mientras que su circulación digital en la segunda mitad de 2021 fue de 995.228, según su informe de ABC.” John Prideaux, director de podcasts de The Economist, dice que el éxito del departamento de podcasts genera familiaridad con la audiencia. La política antigua de The Economist de no publicar el pie de autor no aplica a sus podcasts, lo que permite que florezcan relaciones sociales. Maher cita a Prideaux: “Quiero decir, es un poco sorprendente: algunas de nuestras personas, que están en el podcast, de repente no son reconocidas exactamente, pero son famosas en Internet de una manera que es nueva para un lugar sin pies de autores. Y algunos de ellos encuentran eso un poco inquietante” Independiente de la posible cobra por contenido previamente gratis, casi dos décadas adoptando los podcasts han llevado The Economist a un lugar donde una fracción de sus empleados genera más impresiones a través de podcasts que el periódico impreso actual. Varios ejecutivos de iHeartMedia, hicieron una presentación en la conferencia de Global Tech, Media, and Communications de J.P. Morgan este martes. John Kastrenakes en Hot Pod Insider describe la clave principal de la charla. iHeart cree que hay un periodo finito en lo que uno puede determinar si un podcast puede tener éxito puramente a través de la promoción. “En primer lugar, un espectáculo tiene que ser bueno, según Bob Pittman, director ejecutivo y presidente de iHeart. Él dice “No podemos hacer algo que no sea un éxito – un éxito”. A partir de ahí, todo se reduce al marketing. "Lo que generalmente encontramos es que en dos o tres semanas podemos ver si tenemos un éxito o no con una fuerte promoción". Fin de cita Aunque, a diferencia de la radio, la falta de éxito durante el lanzamiento no significa la muerte del producto. Kastrenakes cita a Pittman diciendo que los podcasts “no tienen para cuando caducar”. Con recursos ilimitados, iHeartMedia puede asumir riesgos con costos de producción relativamente más bajos. Si un show no despega en el período de lanzamiento de 2 a 3 semanas, el producto sigue existiendo por sí solo en espera que las fuerzas externas impulsen un resurgimiento gratuito. El podcasting está funcionando bien más allá de los mercados de América del Norte. De hecho, bastante bien, según el artículo del Press Gazzette escrito por Aisha Majid sobre la última edición del Digital Publishers’ Revenue Index. Citando el artículo: “Entre la muestra de 12 editores incluidos en el informe, el cual fue construido por la Association of Online Publishers (AOP) y Deloitte, los ingresos de audio alcanzaron los 4,2 millones de libras esterlinas en el primer trimestre de este año. Esto fue seis veces más de lo que hicieron en el primer trimestre de 2021”. Dan Ison de Deloitte afirma que la escucha diaria de podcasts ha alcanzado a la radio en línea en el Reino Unido, creciendo hasta uno de cada diez adultos menores de 25 años paga al menos una forma de suscripción de podcast premium. El director gerente de AOP, Richard Reeves, citado por Majid, dijo: “Hemos visto crecer constantemente los ingresos por audio digital en los últimos trimestres, impulsados ​​en parte por lo que se considera la 'época de oro de los podcasts'. El crecimiento de ingresos del 500 % informado para este canal en el primer trimestre de 2022 demuestra que los editores ahora están monetizando con éxito este tipo de contenido”. La siguiente noticia proviene directamente del fundador de Sounds Profitable, Bryan Barletta. En asociación con Podcast Movement, la primera reunión de líderes empresariales se llevará a cabo el 23 de agosto en Dallas, Texas. “Por sí solo, un evento de un día centrado en los negocios sería difícil de vender para casi cualquier persona, incluso en Nueva York o Los Ángeles. Pero como industria, absolutamente necesitamos uno. Un día dedicado a las conversaciones realmente difíciles que la industria necesita tener para que podamos impulsar el progreso que conduce a una industria de publicidad de podcasts de $ 4 mil millones en EE. UU. y algo más. Por lo tanto, para que un evento como este prospere, debería estar vinculado al evento líder indiscutible de la industria de podcasts en Estados Unidos”. La reunión está programada para comenzar con el informe de investigación trimestral Sounds Profitable. “Medición, video y programática son palabras que escuchamos en conversaciones todos los días. A veces positivamente, ocasionalmente desde una perspectiva negativa, y más a menudo desde un lugar de curiosidad. Así que reunimos a los mejores y más brillantes para asegurarnos de que todos estamos en la misma página, ya que cada uno de estos tres temas continúa creciendo en popularidad e importancia”. Mientras que el informe trimestral estará disponible públicamente, el resto de la reunión solo será accesible para los miembros de las empresas que patrocinan Sounds Profitable. Para nuestra última historia, recurrimos al artículo de Bloomberg de Ashley Carman del miércoles acerca de los $18,000 al mes que los podcasters están ganando con nada más que el audio de ruido blanco. El breve viaje de Carman al mundo de los podcasts de sonido ambiente revela sorprendentemente una granja saludable de productos, todos diseñados fundamentalmente para ofrecer paisajes sonoros relajantes para dormir, mientras ocasionalmente se muestran anuncios. Citando a Carman: “Aquellos que respondieron a las solicitudes de entrevistas dicen que están ganando mucho dinero y seguidores, maravillándose del poder de la distribución de podcasts. Colectivamente, los programas representan un género de podcasts floreciente y lucrativo” Tomemos, por ejemplo, la historia de Brandon Reed: un hombre cuya carrera de podcasting comenzó usando Anchor más como una plataforma de archivos de ruido blanco para calmar a su propio hijo en vez de intentar distribuir los archivos a nivel mundial. Tres años después, las cosas son extremadamente diferentes. Citando a Carman: “Su éxito involuntario también llegó a las listas de la aplicación Podcasts de Apple Inc. y llegó a más de 26,6 millones de escuchas totales”, dijo Reed. Ahora ofrece una suscripción mensual de $2.99, que brinda a los clientes que pagan acceso a sonidos adicionales y la posibilidad de solicitar otros nuevos. Cuando un quiropráctico necesitó traqueteo ferroviario para un paciente ansioso, Reed salió y lo capturó. Hasta ahora, ha ganado más de $10,000 a través de suscripciones”. A riesgo de resucitar las discusiones de las redes sociales sobre lo que califique como un podcast, estos fragmentos del mundo del ruido relajante sirven como un recordatorio de que estas vistas restrictivas de los podcasts, tanto en formato como en contenido, pueden dejar nichos desatendidos. Y finalmente, esta semana la descarga recomienda El Podcast en Quebec en 2021 de Bruno Guglielminetti. La publicación está en francés, pero contiene estadísticas sobre el crecimiento de los podcasts en los mercados globales. La Descarga es una producción de Sounds Profitable. El episodio de hoy fue presentado por Manuela Bedoya y Gabriel Soto, y escrito por Gavin Gaddis.

Episode Summary:  Today, we speak with Brandon Reed, owner of Pool Volution. He sits down to talk about what drives him to provide insight and education to fellow pool pros and why he believes that business ownership is the key to making a serious living out of a career in this industry.  Brandon then explains what led him to establish Pool Volution. He admits that the brand began simply as a way to “prove himself” to those who doubted his potential, but later, as his audience grew, his motivation changed to something more selfless.  “Thank God—something turned a new leaf in me. Something told me that I have value for people. Now it's all about my followers. I love them to death. I care about them. I want to do the best that I can for them while I have the time available.”  Topics Discussed:  01:54 - An introduction to Brandon Reed  15:01 - Why Brandon left HVAC   22:01 - Becoming well-versed in business as a pool pro  30:15 - Staying on top of new equipment  32:04 - The evolution of Pool Volution  41:44 - Brandon's goal for Pool Volution  50:41 - Brandon's thoughts on Amazon Live  55:03 - The value of learning to love yourself    Sponsors:  Skimmer  Primate Pool Tools  Leslies  Connect with Guest:  Instagram  TikTok  YouTube  Tools on Amazon  Klein Tools  Connect with Pool Chasers:  Website  Instagram  Facebook  Facebook Group  Twitter  YouTube  Patreon    Key Quotes from Episode:  The pool industry is the most helpful industry you'll ever come across.  Thank God—something turned a new leaf in me. Something told me that I have value for people. Now it's all about my followers. I love them to death. I care about them. I want to do the best that I can for them while I have the time available.  Once you find love for yourself, the game changes. Your whole outlook on life changes.  If you're not for your followers, sooner or later, you will die out.   

OVERVIEWAs a pool technician and business owner in Southern California, Brandon Reed spends day in and day out at your neighbors' swimming pool. But he's not just lounging around, nor does he deserve to be referred to as simply “the pool guy”. Brandon has become a master in all things pool-related - from building, installing remodeling, maintaining, and repairing pool equipment. This fascinating profession requires a jack-of-all-trades, borrowing skills from electricians, plumbers, construction, and more to serve America's favorite and often overlooked home luxury. Listen in as Jeremy sits down with Brandon to learn the ins and outs of owning a business in the pool industry, building and repairing pools, how he found his career, and much more. ABOUT BRANDONShortly after graduating high school, Brandon started working for his father's HVAC company for much of his early adulthood. However, during the housing market crash in the late-2000's, business began to dwindle significantly as crucial accounts sought ways to cut costs. With a career change already in mind, he met a family friend one day, who was making ends meet in the pool business. One thing led to another and Brandon found himself cleaning pools, and eventually building them from scratch. “So I talked to that guy for a little bit and next thing I knew I was working for him, you know, low wages, I wasn't making anything but to me, which is fun, learning a new trade. And then from there, it just went from hanging out with that guy for a little bit then all of a sudden, that same guy, his name was Robert we started building pools together.” Over the years, Brandon has become a master of all things pool-related. Applying elements from several trades, he often finds himself doing plumbing, HVAC, construction, and electrician work all at once. He is on the job 365-days a year as a pool technician and business owner based in the sunny state of California. Compared to HVAC work, Brandon has found that being a self-employed pool technician is a significantly higher maintenance trade. “When I install a five ton condenser unit I'm not seeing that customer again for another five or 10 years. With a pool I'm seeing my customers every four to six months because there's constantly always something breaking and there's always something going on” Working through the pandemic, Brandon has also experienced an unprecedented boom in the pool industry due to families quarantining and dumping money into their at-home environment. “Yeah, the pandemic happened. And I'm going okay, I'm gonna have to go back in the air conditioner or something because you know, in my opinion, people are gonna be smart, we're gonna save money because they don't know what's going to happen. And the exact thing opposite happened. People stayed home, they didn't know what to do with their kids, so everybody wanted a pool now.” Transitioning as a worker in his father's company to a business owner himself, Brandon has gained context over the years for being self-employed. Having now experienced both sides of the same coin, he can now understand many of the struggles his father went through. “I could see a lot of things that he had to go through now that I'm on the other end of the stick as well… it's not as easy and the grass isn't always greener. On the other side, it's a lot of stress. Owning any type of business, in any industry by yourself, man, you feel like you got to constantly be working, because you don't know if there's going to be more work.” From working in HVAC as a young adult, to learning a completely new trade and making a business out of it, Brandon has brought himself to the forefront of the pool industry through a mix of trial-and-error, experience, and hard work.

Time to get back in the ring, to take another swing. The walls were shaking, the earth was quaking, my mind was aching - you know what, I saw AC/DC live back in 2016, you don’t need to relive that show, although it was super awesome. I’d previous had tickets to see them in high school, in September of 1996. That tour got canceled before it got to Hampton. So there I was, 20 years later, with my pregnant wife on Valentine’s Day rocking out to AC/DC. What’s that have to do with wrestling? Nothing really, other than AC/DC is a favorite on wrestling playlists worldwide. I’m Jason Bryant, and this is Short Time Shots, a mostly daily look at the scores and more in and around the sport of wrestling. By the way, if you notice the episode numbers changing, that’s because I did an audit of the amount of Short Time episodes in the feed. The most recent show where I interviewed some folks in Little Rock was actually the 580th episode. At some point, I didn’t count things and had some other non-Short Time shows in the feed. That’s been fixed and sure enough, this is the 581st edition of Short Time, whether it be in the Shots form or my more formal feature story/interview format. I also went to the Richard Nixon School of Accounting. Most of you won’t get that joke. Minnesota Beer of the Night: Bite Size by Modist Brewing. It’s classified as a Pastry Stout, with some evil chattering teeth on the can. It checks in at 6.7% and it’s pretty good for the first major snowfall expected to hit the land of New Brighton by the time you listen to it. Remember, I’m on Untappd at jasonbryant12. By the way, the Modist taproom is about a mile and a half from U.S. Bank Stadium. Dual Meets:  It was a close one down south in Division II where a fall from Jonathan Miller at 141 pounds was the difference as No. 21 UNC Pembroke edged No. 17 Limestone 20-19 in Pembroke on Tuesday. All-American Nick Daggett also scored a key bonus victory for the Braves at 125 pounds. Lindsey Wilson, ranked third in the NAIA, won nine out of 10 bouts and scored six falls as the Blue Raiders trounced Division II Bellarmine 47-3 in Columbia. Returning national champion Brandon Reed picked up his fall at 1:10 at heavyweight. Grand View, the top-ranked team in the NAIA, ran its dual meet win streak to 80 in a row after blanking Benedictine (Kansas) 50-0. During that stretch, Grand View has outscored opponents by an average score of 42.3 to 4.95. There’s also been 27 shutouts. The Vikings have won 108 of their last 109 duals with the last loss coming in November of 2013 to Division I Iowa State. Keeping it in the NAIA, fifth-ranked Campbellsville won a pair of duals at home on Tuesday. First the Tigers topped the Phoenix of Cumberland University (Tenn.) 34-6 before dispatching with West Virginia Tech 59-0, yes, one away from a perfect score. Cumberland beat West Virginia Tech 48-6. Marian beat Missouri Baptist 43-6. In Division III, fifth-ranked Augsburg was aided by five forfeits in shutting out St. Olaf 57-0 at Si Melby Hall in Minneapolis. Guess what, the office of St. Olaf College President David “The Duck” Anderson has ignored two more requests for interviews after feeding the Board of Regents and alumni a load of scat, no matter which animal it originates.

Notables on the Docket: There’s nothing on the schedule until after Thanksgiving, with action firing up on Saturday with Northern Colorado at Fresno State. On Sunday, we see several notables, including Cornell heading to Ohio State, Wisconsin going to Carver-Hawkeye, Appalachian State facing North Carolina, Augustana (S.D.) facing North Dakota State, and Ohio facing Chattanooga. FROM THE DWN: There’s a new No. 1 in the NWCA Division I Coaches Poll as Iowa moves into the top spot for the first time since February of 2015. Penn State, the previous No. 1 for the last 36 polls, fell to No. 3 after the Nittany Lions saw their 60 match win streak stopped by Arizona State. The Sun Devils slid up six spots to No. 4, one spot behind the team they just beat. Hey, sports. Other notables saw Nebraska move to No. 2, tying its best rank in school history, Princeton moved to No. 12, its highest ever and Army West Point moved to No. 21, its highest ranking since 1994. Kurt Cobain was still alive the last time the Black Knights were this high. With two top-five victories in a matter of hours, NC State redshirt freshman Trent Hidlay was named ACC Wrestler of the Week. Meanwhile, David Carr’s win over Kaleb Young earned him Big 12 WOW honors. I’m not sure if “WOW” is said as such, other than in SID headlines, but ok. Trent Hillger, aka THOR, hammered down (dad jokes) the Big Ten Wrestler of the Week after pinning Utah Valley’s Tate Orndorff in overtime. Speaking of the Big 12, tickets for the Big 12 Championships in Tulsa at the BOK Center - that’s the Bank of Oklahoma and not the vegetable popular in some Asian foods - are on sale. TheMat.com tells us the 24 wrestlers who will head to Sweden to compete at the Haparanda Cup this coming weekend. The list is highlighted by world teamers Max Nowry, Ryan Mango, Raymond Bunker, and John Stefanowicz. How’s the Turkey in Sweden, boys? Up in New York,WKBW reports the doctor related to the school system that initially denied the request of a 12-year-old seventh grader to compete on the JV wrestling team saw his association with said system end late last week. Through a statement, Michael Terranova has replied to the situation, however, while citing standards, that reportedly weren’t applied uniformly, the statement made no mention of his hand-written note that said “girls don’t play boys sports in Lancaster schools.” Yo man, double standards. It should be noted that New York does allow seventh and eighth graders to compete in varsity wrestling. Trista Blasz’s story has gained national attention. More on the girls wrestling front sees MontanaSports.com reporting that the Montana High School Association will submit a proposal to add girls wrestling as a sanctioned sport. That vote will come in January. Right now, 18 states sanction or will sanction girls wrestling in the 2020-21 school year. Notably absent - Pennsylvania. Internationally, The Times of India notes world medalist Vinesh Phoghat and Olympic medalist Sakshi Malik are notables set to compete at the Indian national championships. The news of a possible Russian ban at the upcoming Olympic competitions has officials in the Russian Federation annoyed, to say the least. Russian wrestling federation head Mikhail Mamiashvili spoke out against the potential ban in international news services, citing instances in the past where athletes were punished unjustly for “the sins of the father.” Ok then. In keeping it international, the President of Iran’s National Olympic Committee responded to United World Wrestling’s postponement of the Greco-Roman World Cup. UWW issued a statement on Sunday saying the postponement was in response to current instability in Iran. Tuesday, the Mehr News Agency noted Reza Salehi said UWW’s decision was “hasty, sensational and under the influence of incorrect propaganda by western states against Iran.” Cody Goodwin of the Des Moines Register opens up the wrestling mailbag in the wake of the Iowa-Iowa State dual which drew over 11,000 fans to Hilton Coliseum. Sad news came in late Monday as it was learned the Brian Keck, a former NJCAA national champion and longtime wrestler on the senior level, had died. The details around the situation are still slim, but Keck was one of a kind. If you didn’t know him, he looked mean and intimidating. If you wrestled him, you’d probably understand that to be somewhat true. Brian was a jovial, big-hearted guy with a very unique past and one where wrestling played a big role in changing the course of what he’d do with his life. He dabbled in professional wrestling, coached MMA fighters, ran youth tournaments and was just generally someone who liked to do right by people. Personally, Keck had been a friend since probably 2005. We’d roomed together in Fargo, I announced tournaments for him, most recently at the Preseason Nationals last month. A funny guy who was labeled “No Neck Keck,” he was one of those people that had a story - and everyone who knew him - had a story that involved him in some way, shape or form. Last month in Des Moines, he bought a bunch of tickets to the Carrie Underwood concert next door from the venue where the Preseason Nationals were held - at the Wells Fargo Arena. He wasn’t comped those tickets - he bought them

My Story Of Overcoming OCD With The Holy Spirit Part 2 - Brandon Reed 11/18/18

 The last time we spoke to John Bower on this podcast, we talked about the hard grind that is a career in music. Those careers often include full-time side jobs, bad gigs, math-challenged club owners, sketchy promoters, and more. Now, John is seeing the culmination of all that hard work. In fact, you could say he's "livin the good life". The Good Life is a new tune by Bower and songwriting partner George Domiano, with some bars from Brandon Reed, also well-known in local circles for his solo music, and his work recording and encouraging other artists. The song, included on this podcast, has everything a hit needs. It has a great hook, good vocals, expert recording, and a tasty rap section. Johnny called it "country hip hop", but he did so facetiously, and because Brandon was not in the room.   We can all use a little positivity these days, and Bower and friends deliver that with "Good Life". It's the beginning of a good new phase for the artist, and for us, as well.

Solomon was a guy who had it all, did it all, was loved by all, but lost it all as he believed the empty promises of idols. Join us this week as Brandon Reed opens the story of Solomon to look at how recognizing the empty promises of the allures of our world and culture begins with recognizing what really matters.
