Total revenue is a little over 4 billion dollars in 2001 and has increased each year to now over 14 billion dollars. Commissioner Goodell stated in 2010 he believed the NFL would reach 25 billion annual dollars in revenue by 2027. In this episode, I'm going to give you the secret sauce that can keep the NFL on track to meet this target.

And that guy would be Bronko Nagurski who was born in 1908. However, I got a little bit ahead of myself because this episode is going to be different.

If you wanted a step by step on HOW to go deeper into you niche so you can reap the massive benefits, then this is the episode to listen to!  Ramona Rice is the Founder of Spapreneur, a podcast, community and support for independent women spa owners who are growing their day spas purposefully.   She decided to serve this niche because her mom, Lynn Graves, went from owning a studio massage room in 1996 to a 4000 square foot day spa that generates over $1million in massage services each year.  And Ramona has spearheaded a lot of that growth through streamlining the systems, building an email list and creating quality experiences for their customers.   So, in 2016, she and her mom decided to start the Spapreneur podcast to help other independent day spa owners to do business well!  That podcast has turned into a thriving Facebook Group, a growing email list and a hungry community who is thankful for the support!   During this interview, Ramona dissects the step by step of how she got clear on her niche, what she did to build it out intentionally and how she’s been strategically offering products and services that are generating great revenue and serving her niche community!   She is brilliant and the true embodiment of everything I teach!  Growing a purposeful and profitable business!

How would you create your day and spend your time? Eg How much time inside/outside, how much studying, exercise, time on your own/with others, playing, games, projects. Anything goes be creative! 3. How do you assess your progress? What do you do everyday to move forward towards your goals and dreams? 4. How often do you discuss and think about – what you eat, exercise, breathing, sleeping, mindfulness, gratitude, volunteering? 5. How often do you discuss and think about life? Babies being born or people dying. 6. How often do you discuss money, budgets, savings, financial planning? 7. Do you work with a mentor? Do you know what a mentor is? 8. How often do you lead a team of people? 9. Do you like working on real projects that are relevant to you? Eg Fundraising, events for the local community, school productions, concerts, sports events? 10. Of the things you enjoy most – do they happen in school time or are they after school clubs?

Ramona Rice is a Sports kinda girl. At least that’s how she is known and loved by thousands of her followers. It wasn’t always that way though. Sports was of minimal interest in her life until she met James. James was a big guy, and a big time sports fan,  and Ramona’s passion for James stoked a deep passion in Ramona for all things sports. Ramona even started her own Sports podcast called, The Sports Gal Pal. Then the unimaginable happened. With a young marriage and two high energy children referred to by Ramona as her Tiny Humans, James suddenly died of a stroke. This was only six months ago. Ramona’s strength, her support team, mindfulness abilities combined with her writing and online content creation skills, have given Ramona the words to share her journey of grief so you can learn from her experience.Contact InfoCompany: Podcast Websites (Ramona is the Community Manager there) www.PodcastWebsites.com Podcast: We Should Not Be Friends (www.weshouldnot.com)  Note: Rated R Not Suitable For ChildrenPodcast: SportsGalPal (www.SportsGalPal.com)Twitter: @SportsGalPalMost Influential PersonMy children. The way they handle their grief and their joy; their focus on today, they don't worry about today or yesterday.Effect on EmotionsMindfulness helps me see what are truly emotions versus what is really happening. It gives you a clear-cut filter of what you're feeling and what is happening.Thoughts on BreathingMy therapist and I work on this. When I go in, he forces me to do breathing exercises so I calm down. It does help just to take a quick before you react. Just take 10 seconds. Do some deep Lamaze breathing, deep yoga breathing, where you breathe into the belly. It's amazing how much stress that relieves.Suggested ResourcesBook: The Shack by William P.

Just pick one activity each day to be mindful for and a small amount of time. Whether you chose to follow a guided meditation or you chose to actively pray where you're actually focused on the prayer. Or you do devotional time, journalling. Even if it's something as simple as, I'm going to mindfully wash the dishes and not let my mind race off, but be clear in the present washing the dishes.

Jennifer Barkan works in real estate for Rose & Womble in Virginia and she came up with a very creative idea, incorporating animal rescue into her Ask Jen Live segments when she features a new home. Through this program, she's helped get over thirty dogs adopted while showcasing new homes for prospective homeowners. What's good for animals can be great for business! In this episode, Jen details how she started to blend animal rescue with new homes and the enormous impact it had on social media engagement. She also shares a heartwarming story about the overweight small dog Bey. Jen is a graduate of Old Dominion University and on today's episode she talks about her five dogs: Tito, Gizmo, Minnie, Marley, and Rousey, named after Ronda Rousey.

She's from Virginia, but she's a diehard Philadelphia Eagles fan. She's also the host of 'The Sports Gal Pal' podcast, and this week Ramona Rice visits Bill Furman and Jim "Chet" Chesko on the Philly Pressbox Radio Roundtable. Her show was recently named one of Inc.'s "35 outstanding podcast picks," so maybe she'll offer tips to budding bloggers and podcasters during her visit. (We liked Ramona the minute we noticed that one of her podcasts was entitled "It's Dirty to Cheer for the Cowboys.") Bill and Chet will also talk about whether the surprising Phillies might somehow be able to stay in contention this season, and the future of the Sixers now that they have the NBA's No. 1 draft pick. Of course, there's our weekly Philly sports trivia question and prize courtesy of Carl's Cards and Collectibles, too; this week's prize is an autographed puck by Flyers Hall of Fame goaltender Bernie Parent.  

Jeb goes after Trump for not being true to his party; a Kentucky clerk continues to say no to same-sex couples; @SportsGalPal Ramona Rice stops by to talk about her foray into podcasting; McDonald's makes breakfast lovers happy; and "Spongebob" is making a Broadway entrance.  These stories and more on “The Hilarie Barsky Show.”

This week we have Ramona Rice, the SportsGalPal.  Her podcast of the same name can be found at SportsGalPal.com and BlogTalkRadio.com.  She has an amazing story about how she became passionate about sports and podcasting and what she did to find her unique place in the podcasting world.  You should definitely check out her show and do what you can to support her. We also look at the announcement from Midroll about Howl Premium.  While the announcement is definitely a promising sign for the industry, I do have a small complaint about it which you can hear in this week's episode. Also, as a reminder, if you recently launched a new podcast or are considering one, or just want to be more involved in the podcasting industry, shoot me a note and let's talk about your aspirations right here on PodUp.  Would love to hear from you!

  The Sports Gal Pal, Ramona Rice, is joined by her podcasting mentor Jay Soderberg (aka the Podvader) but Jay brought along his wife Benay (Queen Podme) to the show as well. They had a frank conversation about balancing real life with the love of sports and how marriage is work. Here are some of the highlights: Queen Podme does not share Podvader's obession of the New England Patriots She does recognize that Podvader has influenced their kids in sports but mainly positive  She uses Sunday football days as days to still spend as a family - despite not wanting to actively watch football Podvader and the Sports Gal Pal also discuss some upcoming events on Blog Talk Radio - including her two-a-day series with all of Podvader's Next Fan Up Superfans. Also, the Sports Gal Pal talks about why kids growing up is a good and bad thing (the moms will totally get it) and why the Little League World Series is worth watching.
