"We're not teachers—we're sharing real-life experience. That's why we wanted to start a podcast."That quote from Nick hit me hard because it perfectly sums up what podcasting does best: it captures real voices, real stories, and builds real connections.This time, my incredible Jenny and Nick Cliff, who flew in from Bali and became my first-ever in-person clients, to record in our brand new Saigon Podcast Studio. They hadn't even launched their podcast yet, but we'd already produced two episodes together. So when they reached out while visiting Vietnam, I knew I had to get them in the studio.We talked tech, business, IT disasters, customer service wins, EOS, and yes… why turning it off and on again still fixes half the world's problems.Key Talking Points* Why Jenny and Nick started their podcast – not to grow a business, but to give back to their industry.* Their plan to turn podcast interviews into a book using real-world stories.* Behind the scenes of building a podcast studio – from overheating cameras to SD card nightmares.* The real value of outsourcing your podcast and why doing it all yourself is often a false economy.* Charging for experience, not time – and how that applies to podcasting and business consulting.* The impact of AI and why smart questions will matter more than smart answers.Chapters and Timestamps04:00 – Podcast tech talk: SD cards, microphones, and near-disasters07:30 – The universal IT fix: "Have you turned it off and on again?"13:00 – Charging for experience, not hours: from $20/hr to $500/hr16:30 – Why outsourcing your podcast production is worth it19:45 – How podcasting can become the foundation of a book23:00 – The fear of hearing your own voice—and why it's worth pushing through25:30 – Creating a podcast to give back, not sell29:00 – Smart questions, AI, and why plumbers are the future33:00 – Final thoughts: podcasting as a tool for purpose and connectionSend us a textEmail me (niall@sevenmillionbikes.com) or contact me on Seven Million Bikes Podcasts Facebook or Instagram to book your free Podcast Audit!Thanks to James Mastroianni from The Wrong Side Of Hollywood for the endorsement!

He then explores the visual appeal and discoverability advantages of YouTube, while also addressing the challenges each platform presents. Throughout the episode, Niall offers valuable tips for content creators looking to maximize their reach and engagement across both podcasting and YouTube.Key Takeaways:- Podcasts have higher listener engagement, with 60-80% of listeners typically finishing an episode- YouTube videos have lower engagement rates, with 20-40% considered good- Podcasts are easier to produce but face challenges with discoverabilityYouTube offers better discoverability and monetization opportunitiesCreating content for both platforms can be a winning strategyChapters and Timestamps: 01:40 - Niall's podcasting journey 03:00 - The podcast vs. YouTube debate 04:20 - Benefits of being a podcaster 09:00 - Challenges of podcasting 13:00 - Benefits of being a YouTuber 15:10 - YouTube's algorithm and discoverability 19:40 - Monetization opportunities on YouTube 21:00 - Downsides of being a YouTuber 23:10 - How to choose between podcasting and YouTubingSend us a textEmail me (niall@sevenmillionbikes.com) or contact me on Seven Million Bikes Podcasts Facebook or Instagram to book your free Podcast Audit!Thanks to James Mastroianni from The Wrong Side Of Hollywood for the endorsement!

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross breaks down the powerful concept of leverage — the secret behind how high-performers achieve 10x results without working 10x harder. Ross introduces the four core types of leverage (People, Capital, Code, and Content) and provides actionable insights, mindset shifts, and examples on how to use them to reclaim your time, scale your impact, and accelerate growth. Whether you're an entrepreneur, creator, marketer, or employer, this episode offers a practical framework to help you work smarter and more effectively. Key Takeaways and Insights: Leverage Through People Delegation is key, but do it like a founder, not a manager. Transfer ownership, not just tasks. Empower teams by sharing outcomes and allowing room for creativity. Example: Outsourcing a design task on Fiverr unlocked more value. Ask yourself: What $5/hour work are you holding onto that's blocking your $1,000/hour work? Leverage Through Code Automation and modern software replace manual workflows. Today, you don't need a dev team to build tools—AI can generate scripts and automation for you. Built internal apps and CRMs with no/low code tools. Automate tasks through scheduling, reporting, and workflows. Leverage Through Capital Every dollar should buy back time or create compounding value. Use capital to invest, buy access, or convert traffic into sales. Examples: Affiliate programs Investing in dividend stocks or crypto Ad spend on proven funnels Leverage Through Content Content builds trust while you sleep. It is a scalable, reusable asset—blog posts, podcasts, guides, videos. "Create once, distribute forever" is the mantra. Your content is always working—even when you're not. Resources & Tools:

Paul West, founder of Fumb Games, joins Two and a Half Gamers to share the real growth story behind the studio's breakout year. From Bitcoin Miner's $10 million run to the launch of Idle Mine and a creative rebrand that hit $1 million in sixty days, Paul explains how ruthless UA strategy, creative expansion, and a “cut what doesn't work” mindset allowed a lean team to scale tenfold—right in the middle of the industry's hardest year.What's inside:UA: Bigger Risks, Smarter FocusFumb Games ditched the “three-day payback only” mindset, stretched paybacks, and invested in UA even when it was scary. They ran tons of networks, then cut to the four that moved the needle.Creative Volume and ExperimentationAI tools, influencer gigs on Fiverr, and a nonstop creative testing culture delivered more winning ads and allowed for higher spend. The team tested everything—static, video, and even reskinned gameplay for new themes.LiveOps and Community as Retention FuelWeekend and midweek events, Discord and Reddit codes, and direct player rewards kept ARPDAU and DAU rising together—unusual for a scaling idle studio.Monetization UpgradesSubscriptions became 80 percent of purchase revenue in new titles. Side revenue from play gap (offline ad fill), Zebedee (crypto microtransactions), and Discord monetization all helped lift margins.Market Read and Thematic FocusWhen Bitcoin Miner started to plateau, they rebranded a casual project into Idle Mine, doubled down on the Bitcoin theme, and saw instant traction and monetization in a proven niche.Key Takeaway:You do not 10x by playing it safe. Cut what doesn't work, invest big in what does, and let your UA and creative testing do the heavy lifting. If the theme and the community are hot, pour fuel on that fire.Get our MERCH NOW: 25gamers.com/shop---------------------------------------Vibe.

Breaking into freelancing or launching a side hustle can feel overwhelming, but winning your first developer project is one of the most important steps in building your development career. In this episode of Building Better Developers with AI, Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche share proven tips to help developers land their first paying project—and do it the right way. Why Mindset Matters for Winning Your First Developer Project The first step to success is shifting your mindset. Rob emphasizes that you're not just writing code—you're solving real business problems for your clients. Think like a service provider, not just a developer. Your success comes from delivering value, understanding client needs, and focusing on outcomes. Michael reminds developers that while independence is part of freelancing, you still work for your clients. Listening, collaborating, and guiding them toward success are essential to building strong relationships. Specialize to Win Your First Developer Project One common mistake when trying to win your first developer project is offering every service imaginable. Rob and Michael both learned that trying to be everything to everyone can lead to frustration and poor results. Focus on the work you enjoy and excel at, such as: Web development API integrations Automation solutions Small application fixes Rob recommends starting with simple, high-demand solutions like landing pages or bug fixes. Michael reflects on how defining a niche helped him avoid projects he didn't enjoy and allowed him to grow his business the right way. Small Wins Help in Winning Your First Developer Project Rob stresses the importance of starting with small, quick wins. These projects help you build confidence, gain testimonials, and establish a reputation. Here's how to approach your first project: Take on projects you can complete within a day Deliver high-quality work with fast turnaround Gather testimonials or reviews from satisfied clients Use platforms like Fiverr, Upwork, or Freelancer to build your portfolio These small wins lay the foundation for bigger opportunities and long-term client relationships. Be Strategic When Winning Your First Developer Project Pricing is another critical factor when trying to win your first developer project. Rob and Michael offer this advice: Avoid underbidding to the point where you limit your future rates Under promise and over deliver to build trust Offer discounts in exchange for testimonials when appropriate Know your value and communicate it confidently Michael shares that early low bids helped him build relationships, but emphasizes the importance of aligning work with your expertise and long-term goals. Confidence and Clarity Lead to Winning Your First Developer Project Winning your first developer project is not just about technical skills—it's about defining your niche, delivering exceptional value, and building strong client relationships. Start small, focus on your strengths, and grow your freelance reputation one project at a time. Ready to take the next step?

This week, we're taking a look at the Twilight Zone episode “Eye of the Beholder.” Janet Tyler lives in a world behind a set of bandages, ones that cover not merely her face, but her thoughts. This is her final visit, the last chance for doctors to fix her deformed face. If they are successful, she will be able to take her place with the rest of normal society; however, if her visage is unchanged, she will need to be removed–one way or another. You see, in this Twilight Zone reality, people need to look a certain way and conform to that way, else they are not allowed to co-exist with the rest of society. Oh, the State does allow for undesirables to live; they just can't live with everyone else. They must be removed. By the end of the episode, it is clear that Rod Serling has something to say about how we so easily accept the State coming in to take control, and I have a bit to say about this as well. In this KOI episode, we'll talk about why Serling uses “The State” as concept; we'll dive into whether or not there is any hope for us to cling to at the end; and I'll reveal my moment of awe, a bit of a plea for the importance of discomfort. So, grab your keys, and let's open up this door to the fifth dimension. As always, spoiler alert. If you have note seen the episode, go check it out and then come back here for the analysis. We're walking through Rod Serling's class Twilight Zone series and asking difficult questions about life. So, if you love The Twilight Zone, science fiction, or even just philosophizing about life, consider joining us on this journey. There's always room for more.

Cloudastructure has raised over $57 million to transform video surveillance from a passive recording tool into an active crime prevention platform. What started as a solution born from a laptop theft in a South of Market office has evolved into an AI-powered service that protects multifamily properties across the country. In this episode of Category Visionaries, we spoke with Rick Bentley, founder of Cloudastructure, about his unconventional path to building a category-defining company—from working at the legendary General Magic to self-funding his startup by working as a contractor in Baghdad. Topics Discussed: How a laptop theft incident revealed the fundamental flaws in traditional video surveillance systems The breakthrough moment when Google open-sourced TensorFlow in 2015 and its impact on computer vision Cloudastructure's pivot from broad security applications to finding product-market fit in multifamily properties The company's unique crowdfunding success, raising $35 million from 13,000 individual investors Building a hybrid AI-human monitoring system with guards operating from India The technical evolution from basic object detection to holistic, cross-camera intelligence using LLM-like systems GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Timing technology waves requires patience and resourcefulness: Rick spent over a decade keeping his cloud video vision alive before the infrastructure caught up. He recognized that Moore's Law would eventually make broadband faster than video files would grow larger, solving the technical constraints. He funded the company through consulting work, including a dangerous stint in Baghdad, demonstrating that sometimes founders need to get creative about survival during technology transition periods. B2B founders should identify self-resolving technical limitations and prepare to bridge the gap through alternative revenue streams. Vertical expertise beats broad horizontal approaches: Cloudastructure's breakthrough came when they hired Whitney, a VP of sales with deep multifamily industry relationships. She brought not just contacts but intimate knowledge of purchasing processes, budgets, and pain points specific to property management companies. Rick noted, "She knew what their budgets were, what their approval processes were, what their pain points were." B2B founders should prioritize hiring salespeople with vertical domain expertise over generalist sales talent when targeting specific industries. Product-market fit emerges from pain intensity, not market size: The multifamily space proved ideal not because of its size, but because of the acute pain property managers experience. Rick explained the stark difference: "The next morning you could have a dozen people in your leasing office because their cars got broken into last night" versus "an email that says these guys showed up, we did a talk down, they ran away." B2B founders should prioritize markets where their solution prevents catastrophic scenarios over those with mild inconveniences, even if the latter appears larger. Crowdfunding can validate B2B concepts when VCs miss the opportunity: After traditional VCs dismissed Cloudastructure as too late to market, Rick raised $35 million through crowdfunding with 13,000 individual investors. This approach not only provided capital but validated market demand from a broader audience. The success came from clearly articulating the value proposition to non-technical investors who could understand the basic premise of preventing crime versus just recording it. B2B founders facing VC skepticism should consider alternative funding sources that might better appreciate their value proposition. Build the full stack when integration creates competitive advantage: Cloudastructure didn't just provide software—they built the entire monitoring infrastructure, including training guards, developing custom interfaces, and managing the complete service delivery. Rick emphasized, "You can't just hop on Fiverr or whatever and say, I need someone to do this. You need to build the tools for them." This vertical integration created defensible value that pure software solutions couldn't match. B2B founders should consider owning more of the value chain when seamless integration significantly improves customer outcomes. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Good design is losing.Not by better design — but by faster, cheaper, half-assed garbage.And the worst part? Clients are eating it up.Welcome to the new reality where timelines matter more than talent, and “good enough” is winning over great. Designers are watching their best work get ignored while AI bots, Canva templates, and $5 Fiverr hacks get the green light.And yeah, we might have been the ones to let this happen.This week on The Angry Designer podcast, we rip into the real reason good design is losing to fast design and what graphic designers need to do to stay relevant in a world that values speed over skill.In this episode we discuss:- Why clients think fast = progress (and how to flip that on them)- How designers became their own worst enemy- A better way to deliver work without compromising quality- The process tweak that keeps clients off Canva and on your sideIf you're sick of watching garbage design win just because it's quick, this episode gives you the tools to fight back and win the long game.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

“If you're doing a weekly podcast, the fastest way to double your downloads… is to do two episodes a week.” – Gary ArndtWhat an incredible episode this was. Gary Arndt isn't just a successful podcaster — he's a walking case study in consistency, discipline, and strategy. I've followed Gary for years, and to have him on Smarter Podcasting was not only a privilege, but a personal highlight.Gary's podcast Everything Everywhere Daily has over 50 million downloads, and unlike many shows, it's a solo, scripted, short-form, daily podcast. No guests. No fluff. Just educational content delivered with precision. He does it all himself — and he does it every day.As a podcaster and podcast producer, I found this conversation both inspiring and humbling. Gary breaks the rules you think you're supposed to follow — no niche, no guests, no endless chitchat — and instead builds a show he wishes someone else had made. And it works.This is one of those episodes you'll want to listen to more than once.Key TakeawaysYour show needs a reason to exist: Most podcasts fail because they're not actually compelling. Forget interviews (unless you're landing A-listers): Gary chose to do a solo, scripted show because the guest-based format is oversaturated and hard to scale without big names.Frequency + Quality = Growth: A daily show means more discovery opportunities. More reps. More downloads. But it only works if the content is great.Podcast promotion works best… on podcasts: TikTok, Instagram, social media in general? Nice for awareness, but they don't convert. Podcast listeners hang out on podcast apps — meet them there.Invest in your show like a real business: If you're not putting in money or time, don't expect big results. Growth doesn't happen by accident — it's intentional, strategic, and yes, expensive.Consistency builds audience trust: Evergreen episodes, a predictable format, and daily drops create listener habits. That's why thousands have joined Gary's “Completionist Club.”Chapters and Timestamps00:00 – Intro: Why Gary Arndt is a podcasting anomaly03:00 – Why most interview podcasts don't grow07:50 – The secret power of daily, scripted, short-form content13:40 – Gary's take on investing in your podcast from day one27:10 – Why he quit TikTok (and social media) despite viral views30:30 – The best way to grow: advertise where podcast listeners already areSend us a textEmail me (niall@sevenmillionbikes.com) or contact me on Seven Million Bikes Podcasts Facebook or Instagram to book your free Podcast Audit!Thanks to James Mastroianni from The Wrong Side Of Hollywood for the endorsement!

Generative AI is reshaping the way people work, from full-time employees to freelancers. As coding copilots, design assistants, and AI-powered writing tools become more capable and accessible, creative and technical roles are starting to shift – if not become eliminated entirely. The pressure to adapt is growing across the board. Micha Kaufman, CEO of Fiverr, isn't sugarcoating it. In a recent open letter to staff, he warned that AI is coming for everyone's jobs, and the only way to stay relevant is to embrace AI tools and automation. Get better, get faster, or get left behind. Kaufman joined Rebecca Bellan on TechCrunch's Equity podcast to help unpack what all of this means for the future of work – be it freelance or employed – and what you can do to survive. Listen to the full episode to hear about: How Fiverr plans to stay relevant as a human-powered marketplace in an AI-driven world Why Kaufman believes AI will raise the bar for everyone, but top talent can still stand out and earn more What new grads and early-career professionals are up against in today's tough job market Equity will be back Friday with our weekly news roundup, so stay tuned.

Micha Kaufman is the Founder and CEO of Fiverr, the leading online marketplace for freelance services. Fiverr has had an insane ride in the public markets, in 2019 the company went public with a $650M market cap, at their peak that hit over $8BN.
