The saying "do what you love and you'll never work another day in your life" is an accurate one, but there are a whole lot of cold, hard truths that need to be carefully considered before turning your passion into a career.To shed some much-needed light on the subject, this week we invited Reid Lunde of Kaizen Speed to sit down with Andre and talk shop — both in the literal and figurative senses. Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inReid has been in the tuning and performance aftermarket business a long time, and has learnt plenty of lessons the hard way over the years when it comes to customers, staff, projects, services, and much more.In this episode, Reid and Andre spend some time discussing these lessons and talk about the strategies and systems that can be used to avoid the many pitfalls that people so often find themselves walking right into when starting out. You might be working on friends of friends' cars in your garage, or you might be walking into a two-year lease on a brand new shop space with a big bank loan in your pocket — either way, listening to what veterans like Reid and Andre have to say might just make the difference between boom or bust. The guys also get nerdy discussing dyno system pros and cons, standalone vs reflashing, direct injection vs port injection, and why no tuner needs to blow up an engine — let alone ten engines – to become proficient. The conversation lastly makes its way over to the hows, whys, whats, and whens of Reid's award-winning product, the Kaizen Relay. That all means that this episode is an excellent reality check for anyone that's interested in taking their passion to the next level and diving into the automotive performance industry.

Do it for me. That is exactly what more and more credit union members expect from their financial institution. Especially around payments.Amazon's Alexa is smart enough to remind us that, based on our order history, it's now time to re-order cat food. Why can't my credit union remind me to pay my car lease, my mortgage, and the Discover bill that is always due on the 15th?The insight of Payrailz, a Connecticut based fintech, is that the credit union in fact probably has all the tools it needs to do those reminders - even to initiate the payments for members that choose.Enter the world of AI powered payments.Mickey Goldwasser, chief of staff at Payrailz, said we are entering into an era of "Do It For me" - and AI makes that a very possible reality.A member forgot to pay his/her American Express card bill - but won't that member welcome a nudge? "Usually you have paid American Express by now? Is that bill due?"Smart payment rails can also be called upon to actually make the payment.The beauty is that drudgery is being taken off the member's plate - and smart machines are running with it.13 credit unions are in CU Railz, a CUSO that owns Payrailz. A few other credit unions, and a smattering of banks, also have adopted the technology. But, says Goldwasser, 90% of Payrailz business is with credit unions.Size varies from small to the $12 billion Sun Coast.Listen up. The time is now for smarter payments tools that anticipate what members want to pay and help them do it.Do it for me is now a reality in payments.This, clearly, is the next evolution in payments.Dig deeper into AI and credit unions in earlier CU2.0 Podcasts - with Posh Development and Coalesce, both DCU Innovation Lab companies (our podcast with the Innovation Lab director Vasilios Roussos is here).A recent podcast with Fahd, the CEO of Abaka, tells more about AI and how credit unions can sell smarter.

Do It For yourself. No one will do it for you!
Our past podcast guests continue to share with us little pieces of advice that we can all try to maintain and do daily to keep ourselves on an even keel. Hopefully, with this wisdom, we’ll ultimately create a brighter future out of this situation. Philipp Kristian Diekhöner from Ep61 The Impact of Foreign Currency on a Managed Fund Philipp Kristian Diekhöner is a keynote TEDx speaker, global innovation strategist, and author of The Trust Economy, published in English (2017), German (2018), and Simplified Chinese (2019). Philipp has spoken at prominent global organizations such as Facebook, P&G, Microsoft, Turner, Munich Re, Zillow, Globe Telecom, CPA Australia, Germany’s Federal Ministry for Economics and Energy, the Economist Intelligence Unit and many others. We need to understand how we can make agility sustainable. We’re currently experiencing an exciting surge in agility in business. Organizations that are not usually very agile are developing quality responses and solutions to the current situation very rapidly and very effectively. We need to move from compliance measures to proactive ways of addressing the current issue and future issues to come. Let’s encourage more of the community spirit because the collective action to fight a common enemy is a powerful way. For that to happen, everyone must care about the situation, and we must feel in control of actually doing our bit. Think about sustainability in urgency. Use the current urgency for change and use it as an opportunity to create sustainable transformation, future of work, and digital transformation in your organizations, businesses, and governments. Understand that by using new tools and ways of working, we’re going to form habits that will sustain us even after the current times have improved and move to greener pastures. There’s a massive opportunity in adversity, and we can make the most of the current situation by coming out stronger and more capable as humanity and as the business world overall. Dante Vitoria from Ep178 When an FBI Agent Tells You to Go to Breakfast, Do It For over 30 years, Dante Vitoria has been running his firm the Vitoria Group, which has broad experience working with companies of various sizes to fulfill its client’s financial needs. The group provides a vast array of financial services specifically tailored to enable clients to meet their goals, the assistance direction, and access to professional banking and other facilities. We all are working from home because of the global pandemic, be diligent about that. Form continuous habits to keep you productive. Remember to follow advice from the government and health officials. If you do get to go out, wear a mask and keep a distance. We are all at home and stressed about this crisis, so be kind, patient, and gentle with everyone; we all cope with stress differently. So try to understand everyone. Vikas Gupta from Ep156 Always Remember that the Unexpected Can Happen Even with Value Investing Vikas Gupta founded OmniScience Capital to provide a scientific approach to global and India-listed equity investments. Together with his team, he formulated the Proprietary Scientific Investing Framework, which stands on the strong foundations of nearly 100 years of investment research and practice. During this COVID-19 pandemic, we ought to think about our personal life, investment life, and business life. When it comes to our personal life, this is the time to ask ourselves if we are on the path that we want. The lockdown is the best time to build a new habit that you could use for the rest of your life. Review your investment critically so that you can be able to see whether there are any flaws in it. Regarding your business, go back to your vision. Have you reached your set target? How is your progress qualitatively and quantitatively? What can be changed?

I got a question from a listener awhile back that I want to answer in today's show. Zack asked: How much money could a podcaster just starting up expect to make? I like making money. I know you like making money. But making money with podcasting can be tricky. It can be hard, especially if you don't already have an audience. So in this episode, I want to share some strategies for making money with your podcast. Key Takeaways: There are many ways to make money with podcasting, but you won’t make any money if you quit before you've built an audience. Think about how podcasting plays into your long term goals. If you haven’t started a show yet, or if your show is still new, spend some time thinking about ways to make to make money besides ads or Patreon. Some things are more fun if you can do them without worrying about making money. I want to start off by saying that it’s ok to want to make money from podcasting, but don’t let a lack of money keep you from doing your podcast. How Soon Can I Expect to Make Money With Podcasting? If you’re just starting out and you don’t have a pre-existing large audience), don’t expect to make any money with podcasting in the first few years. That doesn’t mean it’s not possible (it is), but it’s possible that you might not even grow a medium or large audience (1000+ listeners per episode) in the first few years. Podcasting a long-term investment in your future, not a quick way to make money. That doesn’t mean it’s not worth it; there are many benefits to doing a podcast. I talked more about the benefits of podcasting in episode 27: Setting Acheivable Benchmarks for Your Show There are ways to make money with podcasting, but you won’t make any money if you quit before you've built an audience. Don’t Do It For the Money. Do It Because You Love It. I want to give you an example here. I started playing drums when I was 12 years old (I’m 30 now). I practiced a ton when I was a teenager. I added the hours up and I’ve played for well over 10,000 hours. I didn’t make any real money with it until I was in my mid twenties, but the first time I got paid to play was when I was in college. A friend’s band asked one of my friends to cover a show for them at a local bar. We didn’t really have songs prepared, so we just kind of jammed for awhile. We did so poorly that the bar owner gave us money after 30 minutes and told us we didn’t need to play any more songs (ouch). He basically paid us to stop playing. My point here is that if you’re new to something, it might take you awhile to figure out how to make money with it. Don’t take the lack of money as a sign that you should quit. Think About Ways Your Podcast Can Make Money Charli asked: I podcast, but I don’t earn money for it. Should I be? It’s good that you’re asking this question. Seriously. It’s great that you’re thinking about it. So here’s another story for you. I’ve been focusing on getting back in shape this year, and last week I had a conversation with my friend and Community member Alex Kelerman about running and diet, and it was really helpful. I started thinking about how fun it’d be to do a podcast where I interview people about health and fitness, you know, like their workout routines and habits, how they eat healthy, what their journey was like, things like that. But I realized that while it’d be fun to make a podcast about fitness, I don’t have a good plan for monetizing it. If I did do a podcast about fitness, I’d be paying for hosting and investing a bunch of time into it. It’d still be worth it to me, and I know a lot of other people would find it valuable, but there’s something else I have to consider, and that’s opportunity cost. The time I invest in that podcast would be time and mental energy that I wouldn’t be investing in other things, like the Successful Podcasting course I should be working on. I’d like to spend more time working on the course, not less. I don’t have the time to do another podcast the right way. I like writing detailed show notes and preparing a ton. I like talking with people on Twitter and answering emails. That stuff takes a lot of time, and I already have this podcast to do. Another podcast would split my focus. And then there’s the matter of consistency: Would I have time to do another podcast every week? Or would I just do it every couple of weeks or whenever I could get around to it? While losing weight and being healthy is one of my long term goals, I’m not planning on making a living teaching people how to do it. If I did do a podcast about it, I’m not sure how I’d make money with it other than ads or doing Patreon. Think About How Your Podcast Fits Into Your Long Term Goals You have to think about how your podcast fits into your long term goals. This podcast fits into mine because producing podcasts has been my full time job for the past few years. Doing research for my episodes and teaching what I’ve learned helps me get better at my job. I’m also growing an audience of people interested in making podcasts, which is great because I’m working on courses and other products for podcasters. Even though I’m not making a ton of money with the show right now, I have a plan for how to make money with it in the future. If you aren’t making money yet, start thinking about how you could possibly make money in the future. Think about how podcasting plays into your long term goals. How to Make Money With Podcasting There are some obvious options when it comes to making money with a podcast. These are the ones that probably come to most people’s minds. Sponsors/Ads If you want to sell ads, what you’ll be doing is growing a specific kind of audience and finding companies that have products or services that your audience would be interested in. This is why it’s important to have a narrow focus for your show. If you podcast about a very specific topic, you’ll grow an audience of people who care deeply about that topic, and you’ll have an easier time finding companies whose products or services will be a good fit for that audience. You’ll also need to have a pretty sizable audience: Most advertisors look for shows that have at least a few thousand per episode, and some want more, although that number depends on the company. Patreon Patreon is a crowdfunding platform popular with YouTube content creators, musicians, and webcomic artists. It allows artists to obtain funding from their fans or patrons, on a recurring basis, or per artwork. This is basically asking people to support you out of the goodness of their hearts. This works for many people and is one of the easiest ways to make money with a podcast. One problem with this is that it satisfies the rule of reciprocity. That is, if you’re providing a ton of value to someone, they feel obligated to repay you in some way. Supporting you through Patreon is one way they can square that debt, that is, not feel obligated to you anymore. If you’re willing to play the long game, instead of accepting donations through Patreon, you could use the rule of reciprocity to drive sales of a product or service you offer. I’ve never used Patreon before because I have a different plan for making money with my podcast, but it’s a really interesting platform that I’d like to talk more about in a future episode (hit me up if you’re having success with Patreon, let’s talk). Less Obvious Options for Making Money With Podcasting Femke asked: If I want to make money from my podcast, but don’t want to engage in sponsorship, what are some other ways I could explore to make money from it? There are many different ways to make money from a podcast. Selling ads isn’t the only option. There are other, far less obvious things, like using the podcast as a way to get new clients for your business, relationship marketing, building valuable relationships that can lead to full time jobs or collaborations in the future, affiliate sales, and so on. If you haven’t started a show yet, or if your show is still new, spend some time thinking about ways to make to make money besides ads or Patreon. Selling Products or Services to Your Audience If you have a product to sell, for example, coffee, you could do a podcast to grow an audience of people who would be interested in buying your product. I was on a podcast about coffee recently, talking about my coffee addiction. One of the sponsors of that podcast is a company that sells coffee subscriptions. That company recently started their own podcast, which is a great example of making a podcast to build awareness about the products you have for sale. Your Podcast Can Help You Sell Client Services or Consulting This is one way I make money with my podcast. Even though I’m a full-time employee currently, if I wasn’t, I would be offering my services as a podcast producer or editor. If you offer any kind of client services, you could probably attract additional clients with a podcast. Consulting is another way to make money with a podcast. If you have expertise, if you know how to do something or solve a problem, there are people out there willing to pay you for your knowledge or help. For example, I’ve offered consulting services for several years. If you want one-on-one help with your podcast, you can email me and I’ll jump on a phone call with you (for a small fee). I’ve also recently started offering podcast reviews as a service as well. As much as I love my listeners, I don’t have time to listen to and provide feedback on everyone’s podcast. But I can offer reviews as a service and charge for them. Affiliate Sales Amazon, iTunes, and many other companies offer affiliate accounts. You can make money by sending (referring) people to a company that has a product of service for sale. I mainly do this with Amazon. Since many of the products I recommend are for sale on Amazon, I use affiliate links and get a little kickback from Amazon every time someone buys a product that I linked to in my show notes. It doesn’t cost them any extra, and I get to invest that money into more podcasting gear. Win/win. Reasons to Podcast Besides Making Money There are great reasons to podcast that have nothing to do with short-term income. I’ve said before that I think these things are more valuable in the long term. By “these things”, I mean: #1. Relationships. I think relationships are extremely valuable. I asked Twitter this morning, “Are you making money with your podcast? If so, how? If not, what are you getting out of it?” Most of the people that responded said it was more about the relationships they were building with their podcast. I personally believe that investing in relationships is one of the best long-term strategies. Getting to know a single person can change the entire course of your life. Even if I knew there was no chance I would ever make money with podcasting, I still believe that the relationships I’d build would make it worth the time investment. Also, some things are more fun if you can do them without worrying about making money. #2. You’ll get better at communicating and writing. If you podcast consistently (and prepare for your episodes), you’ll get better at writing and talking which are both extremely valuable skills to have whether you’re looking for a job or trying to attract clients to your freelance business. #3. You'll become known as an authority/expert in your field. One of the responses I got from Twitter in response to my question about podcasting was from Prescott Perez-Fox, who said, “I needed a way to become “famous” in my field w/o working for a top-flight firm.” You can become known as an expert in your field by sharing what you’ve learned. Demonstrating your expertise will help you grow your audience. Q&A Charli said: Before the Community, I assumed that all legit podcasts have sponsors just because most seemed to. So I could see why people starting out could fall into that trap. What does “legit podcast” even mean? Just because you don’t have 10,000 or 15,000 listeners, that means you’re not legit? I don’t buy that. You can have a legit podcast with only 300 subscribers. No one starts off famous. You have to put in the time to get good and grow an audience. John Loudon asked: Do you think it’s ok to offer a wider range of services than what you talk about on your podcast? For example, my show is about Ecommerce, but I offer a variety of web design services. It comes down to what you want to do with your time, but I’m all for up-sells. If someone comes to you for an Ecommerce setup and you can sell them design and branding services, great, but I’m all for curation. I mentioned a fitness podcast earlier in the show. One of the reasons I don’t think I’ll do it is because I don’t really want to be known as the fitness dude. I put myself in the podcasting “box” because that makes it easier for people to decide if they want to follow me or not, but I could very easily do three different podcasts. I could do a podcast about podcasting, I could do a podcast about being a musician, and I could do a podcast about fitness and diet. Maybe I could grow a decent audience for all three, but that’s splitting my focus, and really, keeping all three from reaching their full potential because my time and attention would be split. If I focused on one instead, I would have three times as much time and energy to devote to it. Always ask yourself if the thing you’re doing right now is going to help you get you closer to where you want to be in five or ten years. If you don’t know where you want to be in five or ten years, spend some time thinking about it.

BANG! @southernvangard #radio Ep 025!! This heat aint letting up, and neither are we! CNN & Tragedy Khadafi took us straight into summer this week and got this episode off on the good foot. Not to mention the homie DJ Pocket came through in a BIG WAY - first off he put us on to a plugin that allows to keep the AC on in the lab while we’re recording (this saved our lives, literally), AND he brought Wise Intelligent through for our interview session. YES. THAT. WISE INTELLIGENT. POOR RIGHTEOUS TEACHERS. LEGEND.
