Ah, Procrastination! One of the many things we like doing at the moment and feel bitter after doing it. It leaves a sour taste in your mouth for sure when you are rushing to complete a project you have been putting off for a long time in an unrealistic coffee-fueled sprint. Everyone suffers from procrastination but it does not have to be that way. In this episode, I summarize the main takeaway points from the 1988 classic, The Now Habit by Dr Neil Fiore. This evergreen book talks about the deep causes of procrastination and the tactics you can use to address them. Also mentioned in the episode, Thomas Frank from College Info Geek. #GetThomas on the show lol. I also mention the book Atomic Habits by James Clear. please leave a voice note here: https://anchor.fm/andile-nopapaza if you would like a summary of that book too.

If you're a creative, the pressure to make perfect, consistent content is real. Thomas Frank, aka Thomas the Frank Engine, aka the College Info Geek, joins the show to talk about growing his YouTube channel to 1.5 million subscribers, his moment of burnout and how he's running his business differently since bouncing back. Matt and Thomas discuss how to remove yourself as a bottleneck from your business (even when you want 100% creative control) and the mental toll that happens when you're running in a self-made business hamster wheel (Thomas' crash-and-burn moment happens at the 28:40 mark). So how do you outsource pieces of your work without feeling the need to be part of the entire creative process? How do you create a system to avoid burnout in the first place? And how do you deal with comments and trolls when you're trying to stay sane as a creator? Oh, and they also spend a good chunk of time nerding out on their favorite YouTube tools, like teleprompters, SEO plugins and captioning services. Enjoy! P.S.

Gather 'round, folks, it's time for a story. Here's how College Info Geek went from a side project in college to the full-time job it is today.

Have you ever thought of YouTube as more than a place to host your videos? What if you could find out how to use YouTube to grow your speaking business? The man to tell us how is none other than my friend Thomas Frank.  Thomas went through our Booked and Paid to Speak trainings a few years ago. I met him when he was in college; I spoke at his school. We stayed in touch and he's become extremely successful, especially with his YouTube channel.  On today's show, we talk about his origins, how you can use YouTube to build your audience and find and book potential speaking gigs, and best practices for YouTube videos to generate more interest and views. Join us for Thomas' insights on those subjects and much more on this episode of The Speaker Lab.    THE FINER DETAILS OF THIS SHOW:    What is his strategy when he goes to a conference? How does he use his platform to build relationships? What other income streams has he built aside from speaking? How Fizzle and Pat Flynn influenced his platforms and business growth. What is the second biggest search engine after Google? Is it best to position yourself as a topic expert or a speaker? What are the 3 factors to succeeding on YouTube? What can flags teach us about using YouTube effectively? And so much more!

This episode was superb to film and I think Thomas' insights are wonderful for everyone.

If you’ve listened to LMM from the beginning, you’re going to hear a familiar voice today. If you’ve never heard our early episodes, the voice is going to become familiar.  Matt was the original co-host of LMM and was there for about the first 250 episodes of the show. He and Andrew disagreed about the direction of the show, and after a frustrating recording session, things blew up, and Matt left. But like Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, Andrew and Matt just can’t stay apart. Full Article Here Show Notes So we begin a new chapter at LMM. We will miss Thomas, but this won't be the last you hear from him. If you haven't already, check out his College Info Geek podcast and tune in to future episodes because he'll come back from time to time. If you want to hear some of the old LMM episodes featuring Matt, their still available. One of my favorites was Money for the Love of Freedom.

That you can do whatever it is you want to do! Whatever fears you have about other people, whatever other people think about them, whatever other people think about what they're capable of doing or not, being afraid of failure, whatever the stories are... If you have some desire to create something for yourself, if you have any sort of vision whatsoever, you don't need it to be specific! Stefano can help you with it, other people can help you with that path. But if you feel you're called to something greater and bigger than yourself, listen to that calling, there's a reason why you feel that! It's not just random! Stefano believes that we are given any inspiration from something that is greater than us. To deny that, to get stuck in your head, to come up with all these excuses why you can't... you are denying the reason you are put on this earth. You are denying your purpose and you are denying yourself from living a truly fulfilling, authentic, and purpose-driven life!

You meet people, you get yourself out there and you constantly try to get better. Because every time you do that, you expose yourself to potential lucky opportunities.” - Thomas Frank In this episode of Nat Chat I’m joined by Thomas Frank. Thomas was one of the people I’ve really wanted to have on since the beginning. While he was a student, he started “College Info Geek” which has become the most popular blog on practical tips for college students, whether they want to do better in school or go out and learn on their own.

Thomas also has a podcast, and a YouTube channel with an impressive following of over 400,000 subscribers and over 14 million views. Thomas’ blogging journey started back in 2010 when he applied to join a team of writers working on a blog in the college/student niche - but he was unsuccessful. He decided to publish his post on his own site, started introducing different forms of multimedia over the years, and stumbled across a love for producing entertaining YouTube videos. “There wasn’t a whole lot of really compelling content for how to study, how to take tests, how to read text books, all the kinds of questions students were asking me about as a blogger.” Thomas told me. This was an open door for him to produce high-quality informational videos in his niche and provide the kind of content his audience wanted. Thomas is now a “YouTuber”, and although he has many income streams his YouTube channel ad revenue makes up a large portion of his monthly income. Tune in to hear how Thomas grew his YouTube channel to 400k subscribers in 2.5 years. He shares his marketing hacks, tips he used to write more compelling titles that perform well in YouTube’s search algorithm and attracts more clicks, and how he developed a lead magnet that not only attracts email subscribers but earns decent revenue too.

Thomas Frank is a student success author, YouTuber, and speaker who has been helping college students achieve their goals since 2010. He is the founder of College Info Geek, a blog, YouTube channel, and podcast that reaches over 600,000 students each month, and has been featured on U.S. News, FOX Business’ The Willis Report, Business Insider, and more. Thomas graduated from Iowa State University with a degree in MIS.

Today's guest joining us on the Join Up Dots podcast is Mr Thomas Franks, the owner of the College Info Geek, where he puts a totally different spin on going through the college life. As he says to the students of the world “You know that just going to class, getting good grades, and graduating with a degree isn't good enough any-more. You know that being successful in college takes a bit more work. You've got the drive and the ambition. So where do you go from here?” Which is a fascinating point of view, which is very different from most peoples education experience I would imagine, whereby they base this part of their life as a self contained period. Get through college, get the grades, and then set about kicking ass in the real world. But success takes time, so what better way to hit the ground running than fine tuning and developing your hustle muscle before you need them. By doing things the right way whilst in College. As he says “This  blog is dedicated to helping you build a remarkable college career, which in turn will lead into an amazing life. This is not your typical college blog. You won't find articles with 10 Tips to Win at Beer Pong or 6 Ways to Hack Your Laundry.  That bite-size, regular, boring content has already been written hundreds of times on other blogs. I'm not interested in it. This blog is all about winning at college.” And now he is certainly winning in his own life, and once simply a blog, this is now a lifestyle enthused by passion. So how did he break free from the college mentality that most people buy into, with parties, hangovers, and late nights crouched over the books?  And does he look at what he has created as the whole package or just the starting point to what he can now achieve? Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr Thomas Franks.

In our conversation with College Info Geek’s Thomas Frank, he shares his learning journey, the secret to how he paid off his student loans before he graduated, and insights from his book, 10 Steps to Earning Awesome Grades.   Get Thomas Frank's book here. Check out The Value of College Calculator.

Since then, College Info Geek has gone on to become one of the most-visited college blogs on the interwebs, being visited by over 135,000 people every month. His blog has close to 12,000 subscribers all interested in excelling at and after school.  Ready to build your brand? Get your 15 Free Videos RIGHT NOW http://goo.gl/oDCqdL

At LMM we bang the drum loudly in favor of investing over saving. But are there times when it’s better to just save? We’ll find out today.  We’ve gotten a lot of questions about when to invest and when to just save so we thought we would dedicate a whole show to the subject for you.  One of the good things about Betterment, and why we encourage you to keep your emergency fund there is that there is no penalty for taking money out and you can have it quickly, within a few days.  But an emergency fund is for emergencies.  If you’re constantly pulling money out, that’s a problem.  If your time frame of needing to access money is less than a year, that money should be kept in a savings or checking account.  The Rule of 72 is a way to determine how long it will take to double your investment.  With a 7% return rate, it will take about ten years to double your money. What do you need to buy soon?  A car in two months, a house in two years?  If you need the money in that time frame, you’re better off just saving it. Unless, you have some flexibility in that time line.  The more fixed your time line, the greater the risk.  Your hard date could be the day the market crashes. If you have a big, non-monthly expense coming up, like paying for your semester, it’s not a good time to invest or even to pay down existing debt.  Outside of this scenario, paying debt almost always comes first. If you’re in a grey area, something low risk like Treasury Bonds are an option.  There is no one answer.  The decision to invest or save is based on your risk tolerance, your time frame, and a host of other factors.

We talk a lot about side hustles on the show.  Today we’ll discuss if you should start your own side business.  A side business can be lucrative and the creative outlet that your 9-5 job isn’t.  But it can be a lot of work and time.  We’ll break it down so you can decide if it’s the right decision for you.  Both Andrew and Thomas have had various side hustles.  In fact, Thomas’s site College Info Geek, which is now his full time job, started as a side hustle.  That won’t be the case for all of us, but you can still make some extra cash doing your own thing. Client work side hustles can be lucrative but frustrating.  You have to create someone else’s vision no matter how crappy or ridiculous you think it might be.  Sensitive artist types might want to stay away from client based hustles. A side business shouldn’t be solely about the money.  It should enable you to do something you love doing.  Making money on that is a bonus. It takes about a year and a half to start making money on a side business.  Do you love doing whatever it is enough to do it for free for that long? How much time do you have?  If you’re watching TV for a few hours a night, you could use that time to start building something.  If you work, are in school, and have a family, your side business may have to wait. We want to know what kind of side business you have in mind and what you want to know about starting one.  Leave questions in the comments or send an email to listenmoneymatters@gmail.com.

Listen, Money Matters is back!  We have a new host, former guest Thomas Frank of College Info Geek.  We’re excited to kick of Season Two. We missed you!  There have been some changes to LMM since our last episode but we are more committed than ever to being your one stop, go to resource for all things finance.  If you’ve been a listener to the show for awhile, you’ll remember Thomas Frank from episodes about money mindfulness, how to choose the best cell phone plan, and our round table discussion dedicated to saving money on college. Thomas is a recent college graduate and has run the site College Info Geek, a blog, podcast, and youtube channel that teaches you to get the most out of college life.  Thomas has run the site for a little more than four years.  For the past two, it has been his full time job and he makes a good living from it. Thomas is just 23 years old and will bring a bit of a younger perspective to our show.  He is also ruthlessly efficient with his time and crazy productive which is something we think will bring value to our audience. Getting over “I don’t feel like it” has been what pushed Thomas forward.  The work doesn’t have to be perfect in the beginning, you just have to get it out there.  That is the hardest part, fine tuning can come later.  Building the habit is what matters. A goal for LMM in Season Two is to make this a community project.  We reached out to some listeners who will be contributing to the show and site in various ways.  If you would like to be involved, e-mail us at listenmoneymatters@gmail.com. We will be using Slack, a team chat site where we can all communicate in one place. We appealed to you for donations and we were overwhelmed and grateful.  Along with the donations were many e-mails encouraging us to continue with the show.  Once Andrew broke even, he gave the remaining donations to Donor’s Choose. It’s a site that helps teachers fund materials for their classes that the schools don’t have the money to provide. Some things we’ll be doing going forward include an investing book, animated videos, courses organized from our existing material, and what we really look forward to is matching members of our audience in a mentor/mentee relationship.  If you are interested in that, please e-mail us.  Also let us know what you want out of Season Two.  This is your show too. We’re so glad to be back.  Here’s to a new season and a new year. Show Notes Mint:  The easy way to budget. Betterment:  The smart way to invest.

#006 - If you have no money for camera gear, lights, or software that can often hold you back from making videos. Luckily, our guest on today's episode of the podcast, Thomas Frank of College Info Geek, shares how that isn't holding him back from making weekly videos on YouTube. With less than a few hundred dollars worth of equipment, he makes short-form talking head videos for college students. In this episode Thomas shares how he makes his videos look great without investing a ton of money on a bunch of gear, tips for planning out your videos before you sit in front of the camera to make them, and how incorporating b-roll into his videos speeds up the process.College Info Geek | College Tips for Smart StudentsThe College Info Geek Podcast | College Info GeekThomas Frank - YouTubeIf Life Seems Hard – It's Time To Get Stronger / IMPOSSIBLEstrengthcamp - YouTubeElliott Hulse - YouTubeShould you podcast or make videos? by seanwesJonTronShow - YouTubeCaddicarus - YouTubeSpaceHamster - YouTubePeanutButterGamer - YouTubeDown and Dirty Lighting Kit | Wistia Learning CenterAmazon.com : Sony NEX-5TAmazon.com : Lutron Lamp DimmerOctober 29, 2014

Student loans are expensive but they aren’t the only thing that costs money when you go to college.  Learn how to save money while in school. Thomas Frank of College Info Geek and Martin Boehme of Powlygot will teach us how to save money while still attending college. Textbooks are one of the biggest rackets going.  Thomas has a flow chart on Pinterest that shows you the cheapest way to get access to the information you need without walking into the overpriced campus bookstore and being robbed blind. If you have the option and the patience to live at home while attending college that will be the cheapest option.  But part of the college experience is moving out.  Look into joining a fraternity or sorority for cheap housing. Becoming a resident adviser usually means free room and board.   Meal plans can be crazy expensive.  If you can make it on two meals a day you’ll save a ton.  If you live off campus and have a kitchen, cooking at home rather than going out is much cheaper and healthier. A lot of college towns have great public transit and sometimes it’s free for students to use.  Getting a bike will help you get around more quickly and cheaply too.  And it’s good exercise. When choosing a college, it’s cheaper to go in state.  But some states have reciprocity agreements.  You will pay in state tuition or a rate reduced from the regular out of state tuition fees. Use your student discount!  If you have a college ID, a lot of businesses or places like museums offer discounts.  Student Rate is an aggregater  for businesses offering discounts.  If you’re unsure, it never hurts to ask.  You can get access to a lot of free stuff too.  You can use the fitness center and some health services are free or low cost.  Some campuses offer free tax preparation. Graduating early is the best way to save money but it does require cutting through a lot of red tape.  Not only will you save on regular college expenses, you’ll start working and earning full time money sooner. College is a business decision.  Don’t let parents, teachers, or advisers pressure you into a decision you don’t feel ready to make.  College isn’t going anywhere if you take a gap year to travel or work.

  With tuition costs rising, there is a new  debate over whether a degree is worth the expense.  We’ll discuss the pros and cons in a roundtable discussion. Thomas Frank of College Info Geek and Martin Boehme from Powlyglot join us to discuss who should go to college, how to skip pre-reqs, and why college vs not college is not the only question we should be asking. Thomas has been out of college for a little over a year.  While he believes the actual classes were not that helpful, college does give you a unique opportunity to make a lot of contacts that you can use for the rest of your life.  Contacts that can help you find things like a job, or a place to live in a new city.  While contacts can be made outside of college, you’ll likely never have access to so wide a variety again. Martin was  able to save some time and money by skipping  some prerequisites.  Speak to the professor and inquire if you can test out. A lot of these debates ignore that there are options that are not so black and white as going to college or not.  You don’t have to go to the most expensive or prestigious college that will have you.  According to CNN, nearly 30% of people with associate’s degrees are out earning those with bachelor’s degrees.  The associate’s can also be tens of thousands of dollars less expensive than a bachelor’s. College should not be the default immediately after high school.  There are many options out there so spend some time researching them before you take the plunge.

In this episode, I retell the history of College Info Geek, from its humble beginnings to the behemoth of corporate zombification it is today. (wait a minute)

Thomas Frank is the founder of CollegeInfoGeek.com, a recent graduate from Iowa State University, and paid off over $15,000 of student loans before he graduated through earning money on his blog. In this session we talk about how he built a presence online while still in college, how he landed an internship through Twitter, tips and tricks for how to "do college right", and how a single page on his website helped him graduate debt-free.

In this episode, I go over some strategies to hack your fitness in college - how to get started if you're a beginner, how to make working out less boring, and how to keep yourself motivated. I also go over some specific tools and resources I use in my own fitness efforts.
