It's back to back wisdom from Spencer Fry.  One of the hardest things in business to do is hire the right people.  There are just so many things that could go wrong and set your business back to the beginning.  In this episode, Mike and Blaine talk about the employees who made a difference and those who didn't.Today's Beer:Mike: Eight Beer - Light LagerBlaine: Hypha Project - IPA@drinkeightbeer  @hyphaprojectbeerListen to all our episodes at: https://www.mikeandblaine.com/podcast#smallbusiness, #cashflow #finance #beer #friends #entrepreneur #smbs #craftbeer Watch on Youtube at https://youtu.be/ynK69sYN9d8Support the show

Could there be a truer statement than the one Spencer Fry made about running a small business?  Every day you wake up ready to fight and succeed, and your team and customers are the reasons you do it.  From the outside looking in, the life of the small business owner looks pretty good.  But step inside the ring and be ready to fight.  Mike and Blaine talk about the difficulty of running a business day in and day out.Today's Beer:Mike: DuClaw Brewing Company - Mad BishopBlaine: Muskoka Brewery - Twice as Hard Imperial IPA@DuClawBrewing @muskokabrewery Listen to all our episodes at: https://www.mikeandblaine.com/podcast#smallbusiness, #cashflow #finance #beer #friends #entrepreneur #smbs #craftbeer Watch on Youtube at https://youtu.be/xH3_ohZdmj4Support the show

Are you thinking big enough? Do you start small enough? We need to have big goals. But to reach those goals, we need to start small and focus. We often overestimate what we can accomplish in one year. However, we underestimate what we can accomplish in five years. GUEST ON MY SHOW Would you like to be a guest on this podcast AND get a coaching call at the same time? I would love to give you a coaching session. In return, I will record the session and may use it as an episode of my podcast. Are you interested? Go to www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/record. That is a link directly to my calendar. Grab a time that works best for you. We will develop your plan and see how I can help and support you to achieve your podcast goals. I may then use that call as an episode of my podcast. We both win. Grab your time at www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/record. GOALS As you create your goals, it is important that you set shortterm and longterm goals. Start with your longterm goal. What would you like to accomplish in five years? Once you have the goal established, break it down to one-year, quarterly, monthly and weekly benchmarks. Now, focus on those weekly goals. We eat an elephant one bite at a time. SMALL I got to thinking about this while listening to an interview with Spencer Fry of Podia on the Flipped Lifestyle Podcast with Shane and Jocelyn Sams. Spencer said one of the big challenges people face when they start building their business or any project is not starting small enough. When I started Podcast Talent Coach, I created the ultimate podcast solution. This project contained 7 modules. It walked podcasters through theater of the mind, building the podcast foundation, creating great content, how to prepare for the episode, reviewing your own show, making money with your show and how to get started. The project was everything you needed for your podcast. This thing took me a long time to create. It is 135 pages of text. All of my best stuff. Then, I started asking people if they wanted it. What I discovered was podcasters didn't want the solution to every problem. They want to solve their specific problem. The project was many hours, days and months wasted. I was starting too big. MY FIRST CLIENT One day in April of 2013, I spoke with a guy in Canada who wanted to make his content and show stronger. As we talked, we got specific on his struggle. We worked together to develop a plan to solve his most pressing challenge. Over the next nine months, we worked on his struggles one at a time to reach his goals. This was before I had a book or course or membership. He discovered me through my podcast and saw how I could help him solve his problem. I didn't need an extensive program that gave him everything I knew. He was looking for one specific answer to the problem he was trying to solve. What is the biggest problem your listener is trying to solve? Start there with your content and your business. Keep it simple. Define the shortest way to reach the goal. If you are trying to grow your show, take the steps necessary to get your next listener. One way I've grown my email list by participating in giveaways. Each giveaway grows my list by about 100 subscribers. Over time, my email list has grown to 4,500 people. You don't need to build an entire city at one time. Start with a tent. Then a house. Build the city one building at a time. Start small enough. PIANO My daughter Emma plays piano. She has learned to be patient as she learns to play particular songs. When she was 6, I took her backstage to meet Taylor Swift. Now, Taylor Swift is absolutely amazing when it comes to business. Taylor walked into the room and addressed me by name. She was well prepared by her record label representative. Emma introduced herself to Taylor, and they had a good chat. Taylor was really engaged in the conversation. During the chat, Emma mentioned that she plays piano. Taylor said she wished she had never given up piano. She then made Emma pinky swear that she would never give it up. My little 6-year-old did just that. SUZUKI Fast forward a few years to Emma learning a difficult piece for her piano lesson. Emma learned through the Suzuki method. It involves listening to the piece of music and reading the notes in order to train your ear. This was not a piece Emma had heard before. She had moved beyond the initial Suzuki pieces where she started. Emma soon became very frustrated with her struggles. Tears came. She didn't know what to do next. I tried to explain that she needed to give it time, work through it methodically, and learn it a little piece at a time. She didn't want to follow my suggestions. Emma just wanted to know it now. The microwave generation. That's when I told Emma, "If you're going to get this frustrated trying to learn these pieces, you don't need to continue piano. Quit and do something you enjoy." She said, "I can't quit. I pinky swore Taylor Swift I wouldn't quit." I said, "Well then, keep practicing and give it time." Within a week, Emma had the piece down and was playing it quite well. She is 20 today and still plays piano. However, she enjoys learning songs by ear and writing her own. She does it all by taking it one small piece at a time. WHERE TO START Regardless of what you are trying to accomplish, start small and focus. If you want to grow your audience, determine how that will happen. Define your five-year goal. Then, break it down to small steps. This process will help you in any area of your journey. Are you trying to build and grow a business? You can't do it all at once. It takes a plan, small steps and focus. Determine the next most important step. Then, take it. What are you trying to accomplish? I would love to give you a coaching session. In return, I will record the session and may it as an episode of my podcast. Are you interested? Go to www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/record. Grab a time on my calendar. We will develop your plan and see how I can help and support you to achieve your podcast goals. I may then use that call as an episode of my podcast. We both win.

Today I'm joined by Spencer Fry, founder of Podia, a platform helping creators make a living online through selling courses, digital downloads, webinars and more. 7 years in, they have a 35 person team and have an awesome product for creators. But this isn't Spencer's first rodeo, bootstrapping and exiting 3 businesses between 2003 and 2014, notably Carbonmade and TypeFrag. What's interesting about Spencer is that he's actually raised funding for Podia, and I wanted to find out why a seasoned bootstrapper like Spencer went down this route, and if it's a an option that more indie hackers should consider.

This week, Ben chats with Spencer Fry (http://www.spencerfry.com/), CEO and Founder of Podia (https://www.podia.com/). Spencer's smart. You should probably listen to him.

Lockdowns, shrinking economy, closed gyms and offices have left people to get creative on maintaining their core business or building a new one altogether. It's part of the reason individuals, small businesses and "solopreneurs" are flocking to Podia, a platform provides a digital storefront to maintain memberships, online courses and transactions. In its own way, Podia is stabilizing the idea of the gig worker by removing barriers to entry to build your own revenue stream without the help of a larger company. Founder and CEO Spencer Fry joins the show to talk about how Podia's growth has exploded - up from 5% month over month to 20% - since the pandemic started, how its subscription model differentiates itself from Patreon and how he wants to create a space for entrepreneurs to have sustainable careers, not just one-time gigs.

Today, I'm talking with , the Founder and CEO of , which offers everything you need to sell online courses, downloads, webinars, and memberships without worrying about the tech. We mention Len Markidan in the show, a mutual friend of ours who was my boss at Groove and is now the CMO of Podia. When he joined the team a couple years ago, I started digging into their story more and after seeing they're incredible trajectory, I knew I had to get Spencer on the show. In our chat, we dive into what it's been like scaling Podia to a team of 20, when to add more process to the business, and how the role as CEO evolves as your team grows. Spencer is a 4-time founder and has been an entrepreneur his entire life. He'd tell you that he hasn't seen it all, but I can say he's seen enough to share some valuable lessons you won't want to miss.

In this episode, I’m speaking with Spencer Fry, the CEO and founder of Podia. Podia helps creators sell anything online from courses, downloads, and memberships, without worrying about any tech.Podia is about 5 years old, they’re a fully remote team of 19 people at the time we recorded this (possibly even more now), and they just seem to be picking up a ton of traction in this space. Spencer has a bold vision for the company, in the next 5 years, he wants Podia to be the ONLY platform that a creator uses to monetize. We talk about what he’s doing and what they plan on doing to execute on that big vision.Spencer has been serial entrepreneur since day one. He has actually never received a pay check from someone other than himself, which is pretty unique. He’s founded 4 companies including Podia, has had 3 successful exits, and is now focused on growing Podia to the the leader in their space.If you’re in SaaS, a CEO, a founder, or anyone in business, definitely listen to this chat with one of the best executors I’ve ever spoken to. Enjoy!

Today I’m talking to Spencer Fry, the founder of Podia and we’re duking it out (to the death) on the topic of venture capital.

Serial entrepreneur and WithCoach.com co-founder Spencer Fry discusses strategies and ways to understanding prospects better.

This is the first episode of our live mentor series. Successful entrepreneur Spencer Fry comes on the show to give live advice and feedback to social media marketing company Biznobo. We'll talk about how to get your first customers, start charging, and think about boostrapping in the early days.

Chris Enns, Tim Smith, and Adam Clark have a great podcast called the Intellectual Radio Program. I was recently listening to episode 8 on SSKTN.com. And right near the end, Chris has this beautifully honest moment, where he describes the frustration I think a lot of us feel when it comes to building our own products: How long do you hold on to something you’ve built?

Spencer Fry built his first product when he was 19, and now’s building a new product called Uncover. It’s a big risk: it’s an HR product, which is a difficult vertical. Listen to hear how he plans to succeed.

What were you doing when you were 19? Spencer Fry built his first online product.
