This episode was recorded during an unscheduled stop-over in Dubai on 29th March. It is a departure from the normal topic, but something I believe everyone should be aware of in the 21st century. Namely, the power of developing and building a personal brand through developing content and adding value. Raj has been instrumental in my journey and one reason I started this podcast. He has worked with thought leaders and celebrities across industries to help them develop their own unique "personal brand".  Find out more at https://rajkotecha.com/

I started this whole podcast just so I could share this episode.  Back in 2009, when Gary Vaynerchuk bragged about answering every email, I had to give it a try.  He replied, we built a studio in his hotel breakfast room and the following conversation changed my life. We spoke about a digital evangelist writing a book, an influencer starting an agency called VaynerMedia and touched on the philosophy of the internet.  The best phone at the time was an Apple iPhone 3GS.  Most "vloggers" used a Flipcam.  The iPad was meant to take over the world.  And there was no Instagram or Snapchat.  That's what makes this conversation SO evergreen.  Everything Gary Vee spoke of can still be applied today (you'll still hear it echoed on The GaryVee Audio Experience podcast).  And I did apply it.  On the show you'll hear about the lessons I applied and how I build the Creative Content Agency with the very lessons and strategies shared with me in this podcast.  If you listen to one of my shows, make it this one.   For more content from Raj Kotecha head to www.RajKotecha.com/podcasts, including his show "OPP - Other People's Podcasts", co-hosted by Grammy Award winner Fatman Scoop. This podcast is co-produced by Arjun M Shah and the intro music comes from the song "Riddem" by Hype and Fever (special thanks to them and Live Entertainment London for permission to use the audio).    

How does Jay Z choose a business partner?  He had two, a loud music industry rising star by the name of Dame Dash, and thoroughbred entrepreneur of few words - Kareem "Biggs" Burke. This interview was created by AmongstFew as part of their collaboration with Biggs for the AmongstFew x Reasonable Doubt clothing line.  The first overseas collaboration of it's kind, Biggs hit the stage at The W Hotel Dubai to talk about why he collaborated with this native Dubai brand, and then we REALLY get into the nuts and bolts of why and how he created Roc-A-Fella, which gave birth to the greatest of all time, JAY-Z. There are SO many gems in this interview, especially as Biggs can communicate so much in such few words.  I also got to interview one of my business heroes in the hip-hop world.  I moderated and hosted the panel, and the panelists themselves were B.J. De Gusman (Creative Director, Jungle Beige, Dan Greenpeace, International Artist Agent and Sadiece Holland, Online Personality and Creator).  For more information on the brand check out www.AmongstFew.com.

Briar is a star in Dubai's marketing and entrepreneurship scene.  As founder of her own Dubai based personal branding agency, this Kiwi has grown her Deals in High Heels brand with hard work and style gathered along her journey via New York and London.  You can find more of her content at http://dealsinhighheels.com. This unreleased interview is part of a chat we recorded in late 2017.  I wanted to put it out because the video we made feels so much better as audio-only and because Briar is a practitioner, we get into some details about tactics around making money in Dubai and leveraging social media.  It's a great follow on episode from EP 8: Keynote at Al Ain Media and Marketing Forum (Raj live in Abu Dhabi).

Raj Kotecha has spent over two decades creating content, building audiences and gathering communities around the subject of media, entertainment and entrepreneurship. In the mid-2000's, a time when he was best known as an international DJ and party promoter, Raj acted quickly on the opportunity to create video content exclusively for YouTube.  Focussing on his passions, Raj amassed a library of exclusive and unheard content created with artists, entrepreneurs and business leaders. Raj Kotecha's podcast, That's a Great Question shares both new and previously unheard content from Raj's world.  In the second half of every episode Raj reviews and reflects on the content, the lessons he learned and how he applied them.  He also shares how he hustled his way into making the content happen.

In this final episode for Season One, Raj and Scoop chop up a huge interview with the internet's golden child, Kevin Rose, interviewing the real-life Tony Stark, Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX, PayPal, the man's winning list goes on).  They talk about Elon being a visionary but how the space launch that happened in Dec 2017 was just too much for Scoop.  Raj also tries to calm Scoop down on Elon interfering with the "people" of Mars.  Jewels include the value of having loss leaders in your business, being resilient when people turn you down and becoming the thing that people don't believe you can be.

This episode is too much.  After several false starts, including Scoop getting his hosts mixed up, we finally get into a podcast starring two great alpha males.  Entrepreneur and social media mogul Gary Vaynerchuk interviewed by the OG of podcasting and renaissance man Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience Episode 910.  We talk about Gary buying Facebook stock from Mark Zuckerburg's parents, Scoop visiting Gary's multimillion-dollar agency in New York, VaynerMedia, drinking the "Vayner Water" and how basically every tough guy wants Joe Rogan's actual life (by the way, his Netflix special is phenomenal).  Even though Manchild The Producer was on his phone (aka Tinder) during the podcast, which led to a solid cussing, we also talked about robotics and if they'll end up killing all humans.   Please subscribe and give us a 5 star rating and leave a comment wherever you see this podcast, but especially on Apple's Podcast store.  OPP - Other People's Podcast is a show dedicated to reviewing and reflecting on the best personal and professional development podcasts available online today.   The show is hosted by Fatman Scoop and Raj Kotecha.  The show is Produced and Edited by Arjun M Shah and Executive Producer Raj Kotecha.  Any third-party content featured in OPP is purely for the purpose of promoting the excellent podcasts and people mentioned by the show and is not intended to infringe on any copyrights.

One of tech's nicest founders, HootSuite CEO Ryan Holmes was interviewed by one of podcasting's' most positive people, Lewis Howes, on The School of Greatness podcast.  We talk about when Raj met Ryan many years ago and got hit with the Canadian kindness, how Hootsuite might have gotten to a billion dollars and Scoop's love for the concept of Good Hustle Vs Bad Hustle.  We also talk about the P Diddy / Puff Daddy effect of overworking and how great business ideas come when you scratch your own itch (aka offering the market a solution based on a problem you once solved for yourself).  We also get into how being a generalist can get you to a billion-dollar company - if you're good.   Please subscribe and give us a 5-star rating and leave a comment wherever you see this podcast, but especially on Apple's Podcast store.  OPP - Other People's Podcast is a show dedicated to reviewing and reflecting on the best personal and professional development podcasts available online today.   The show is hosted by Fatman Scoop and Raj Kotecha.  The show is Produced and Edited by Arjun M Shah and Executive Producer Raj Kotecha.  Any third-party content featured in OPP is purely for the purpose of promoting the excellent podcasts and people mentioned by the show and is not intended to infringe on any copyrights.

It took Scoop a while to get into this one by his own admission, but he drops some real gems of his own after listening to marketing OG Ryan Holiday (former assistant to Tim Ferriss) chatting with one of the podcast Kings, James Altucher.  The chat is around perennial (lifelong) selling, the main subject that Altucher and Holiday discussed.  Scoop goes into the idea of building things that are timeless but eventually the conversation becomes about your next door neighbour turning into an alien with green stuff leaking out of their nose.  The show also gets a very rude interruption by one of Jeff Bezo's inventions and Raj rants a bit on the ever present conversation of stoicism in personal development podcasts.  Also, did you know Scoop was the first ever black podcaster?  Find out more in this episode.   Please subscribe and give us a 5 star rating and leave a comment wherever you see this podcast, but especially on Apple's Podcast store.  OPP - Other People's Podcast is a show dedicated to reviewing and reflecting on the best personal and professional development podcasts available online today.   The show is hosted by Fatman Scoop and Raj Kotecha.  The show is Produced and Edited by Arjun M Shah and Executive Producer Raj Kotecha.  Any third-party content featured in OPP is purely for the purpose of promoting the excellent podcasts and people mentioned by the show and is not intended to infringe on any copyrights.
