Digging deep into the archives today with this one, but still one of the best conversations I've had with anyone about creative business. Today, I'm sharing my chat with creative business specialist, Tara Gentile, and aside from the original gangster audio quality of this episode, I think you'll enjoy this one quite a bit. Tara Gentile is blowing up with, among other things, her deep immersion classes on Creative Live, one of which I going through right now, and like those courses, Tara brings a legitimacy to doing business online that a lot of would-be business coaches can't touch. So, enjoy this throwback and absorb the awesome. I promise, you will walk away smarter. I did, and this is my second time around.

Please Rate and Subscribe to the Show in iTunes! Many of us entrepreneurs have this dream of living a lifestyle that allows us to go where we want, travel to an fro, making tracks in any direction that we deem necessary, but very few of us seem to make the jump. We have 'responsibilities' like families, bills, a business that's rooted, and the idea of picking up stakes to head off into the next green pasture seems like a near impossibility. Lord knows I've wanted to travel more, spend more time abroad, and see wonders that I will never find her in the States, but then reality sets in and we always find reasons why we can't; I find reasons why I can't, but there are other options. Today I brought on Natalie Sisson, the Suitcase Entrepreneur to talk about such problems because she is living the life she wants, and it's not just because she gets to travel wherever her whims might take her. In fact, she does have dreams of settling down a little bit, but don't tell all her reader's … [Read more...]

Don't forget to rate and subscribe to the show in iTunes I've got a special guest on the show today, Kristi Soomer of Retail Bliss and Encircled. The conversation revolves around the idea of starting your own shop on your own e-commerce site, specifically Shopify.com. I've mentioned Shopify several times in the past as a viable option for those of you who might be looking to take yourself away from marketplaces like Etsy and others, but I do not have any personal experience with Shopify, so it's been tough for me to talk about. I had been casually looking for someone to talk to about the site, but honestly not putting too much energy into seeking them out. In a moment of serendipitous discovery, I saw a post in a Facebook group from Kristi about how she was hosting a free webinar on the subject of Shopify, and it's happening soon, so I wanted to get this conversation out to you so you could take advantage of that opportunity. Even if you're not looking to start your own Shopify … [Read more...]

Make sure to rate and subscribe to the show via iTunes In the immortal words of ICE-T, "I'd rather be a New Jack Hustler," which is the overarching theme to this episode of the Fresh Rag Show, featuring podcaster, car nut, musician and entrepreneur, Michael O'Neal of the Solopreneur Hour. I had the pleasure of meeting Michael at a podcasting conference back in August of 2014 and his keynote had a profound effect on me because it took what I thought I knew about my business model and turned it on it's head. After my his speech, and the follow-up Q&A session, I hopped in the car and headed back to the airport to head home from the conference. With time to kill in the airport, I spent the next few hours working out the future game plan of FreshRag, and I have Michael to blame for more of it. In this conversation we talk about many thing, and we diverge into some interesting areas, but here's a few items to tantalize you. What We Discuss How artists can use their voice to … [Read more...]

I've decided to start bringing back some older interviews from the past and reintroducing them in a new segment called From the Vault. I'll be reintroducing some of the best interviews we've had in the past that some of you may have missed or forgotten about. Just like wine in the cellar, these interviews might be a bit dusty, but they can still be just as good now, if not better, so why not dust it off and crack this sucker open. Let's get drunk on some new, creative ideas. Today's conversation is with one of the show's most popular guests, digging back to his very first time coming on the show, and I promise you will laugh and learn your way through finding your passion in a creative business. You'll also get your fill of 4-letter words, because we get a bit rowdy with the language.
