Joe Budden, Rogan, and The Business of Podcasting

8/31/2020
In the last few months, listeners and podcasters alike have been given a rare glimpse into the business side of big-time podcasters. Between Joe Rogan taking a $100-million dollar licensing deal in his Spotify move to Joe Budden documenting his divorce from the same platform, we're finally starting to learn some concrete methods on how the biggest creators in the game are treating contracts, ads, and expectations. Add on the drama behind 'Call Her Daddy' and the hosts' battle for IP and we have a good look into where podcasters of all levels should place value. In this show, I'm joined by Badr Milligan of The Shortbox Podcast and Al Pete of Mister Peterson's Neighborhood to discuss our takeaways from the listener's perspective as well as what lessons we'll use for our own shows moving forward.

How to Protect Your Social Media Accounts

8/6/2020
TikTok’s rise in popularity isn’t without controversy. Some of that worry has been orchestrated by other big tech jealous of that growth Others are worried for more geopolitical reasons. But for a lot of creators, like myself, Tiktok has been far and away the most enjoyable app in years. Especially during COVID--where it forced me to learn video editing on the fly and challenge myself on a new platform. I’m not alone as the app has skyrocketed in growth--and because the company’s owner, Bytedance is located in China, that obviously creates some issues like getting banned by the US government. So as content creators what do we do? How do we protect ourselves and the content we’ve spent a lot of time and energy on? Listen to the latest episode as host Blythe Brumleve dives into the strategies. Links mentioned during the show: FYP.RIPPatreon in danger?

My Quarantine Project: Freight School Playbook

7/26/2020
A lot of projects were put on hold during the Covid quarantine. And while the lockdowns forced me to throw my 2020 content plan in the trash--it led to a new opportunity that seems to be evolving daily. Listen to the podcast I recorded to help launch Freight School Playbook--a membership community to help overwhelmed entrepreneurs, marketers, and sales departments in the trucking and logistics space by providing courses that cut through the digital media noise. Naturally, with any fluid project, there are already improvements being made to the platform--which has resulted in the need to re-record the launch materials. But we do this for good reason as we've got to include more educators excited to share their expertise with the transportation world. Stay tuned for more upcoming updates but until then, join the waitlist to learn more as we get closer to launch at → https://FreightSchoolPlaybook.com

How Waitressing Can Set You Up For Success

4/16/2020
Everyone knows the restaurant industry is currently in shambles with the on-going drama from the ‘Rona. This global pandemic has left thousands--possibly millions--without the income they’re used to earning by waiting tables and serving drinks. As an 8-year FOH worker who waitressed at many restaurants, golf courses, bars, and events, I can tell you with confidence the skills I learned while waiting tables help me run two businesses and several side hustles. In this show, I break down those 4 skills that hopefully will inspire my fellow SIN workers to either continue their path in the industry—Or to find a new career to fuel their passions. About This Show: Bonjour with Blythe covers the wins, losses, and lifestyle around being a present-day entrepreneur. Contrary to popular belief, freelancing and entrepreneurialism are not all working out of coffee shops and taking insta-friendly vacations. There are real challenges (and tears!) involved with running your own business. But there are also a lot of perks; which host Blythe Brumleve hopes to share both sides of the coin in this show.

How to Overcome Creative Blocks

4/9/2020
Running into a creative block is a given with most career choices. But trying to overcome a creative block while you’re dealing with uncontrollable global stressors like COVID19?!?! That just seems like the cruelest double whammy–which most folks are dealing with right now. Suffering through it myself, I wondered how are creative blocks started and how can you move past them? I share some tips on how I’ve been coping with overworked stress + global pandemic stress to work past my creative blocks in hopes it might help anyone else facing this same conflict. Snag the show notes for this episode via the blog. About This Show: Bonjour with Blythe covers the wins, losses, and lifestyle around being a present-day entrepreneur.

'Work From Home' tips that will keep you sane

3/14/2020
Working from home isn't for everyone. But I'm one of the weirdos who absolutely LOVES it. So with the 'Rona wreaking havoc on society and how we conduct our everyday lives, I thought I'd share my best work from home tips to keep you productive but most importantly, keep you sane. ALSOOOOOOO I realize this is a tough time for a lot of businesses and conferences who aren't sure how to take their efforts online. I'm offering FREE zero-obligation consultations on how to best tackle that challenge. I might not have all the answers you're looking for but I'll gladly help out my fellow business owners in showing them how they can do it in the most affordable way possible. Hit my email blythe @ brumlevebrands dot com or social channels and let's all help each other during this crisis. Tips + Links Mentioned During the Video Zoom Video Conferencingpodcastinghere's a linkYou can use my referral linkI also started a thread on Twitterhere is a link to one of my favs. BONUS TIP: Invest in a Project Management Tool Something I've mentioned on previous shows is using a project management tool like Monday.com. I use this tool daily and would not be able to handle as many projects and freelancers as I do without it. It's an essential part of my workday but as with any new software tool, it's essential to know a loose plan of what you're work processes look like. Then and ONLY then will a new tool like this be able to help. They even have some great templates to get started such as managing your team remotely with the added bonus of free accounts to all nonprofits during this Coronvirus pandemic. SUPER BONUS TIP: Get Educated The best answer to a growing panic is to get educated. Don't be like those anti-vaxxers you read and shake your head at on Facebook. Instead, hear from medical professionals who have studied infectious diseases their entire lives like Michael Osterholm who was a guest this week on Joe Rogan. Watch the entire thing and encourage all of your friends and family to do the same. Then stay updated with the latest news and health advice from one of the best channels on YouTube, Healthcare Triage.
