Yesterday Justin Lukasavige over at Coach Radio published an interview I did with him for his podcast and I honestly can say that I had a blast with him talking about blogging, startups, business development, and the like.
In fact, I shared a few things in the interview that I’ve never really spent time discussing on this blog which should be incentive enough to check out the interview and listen to it in full.
One particular topic of note was something I said about your most valuable asset which is your experience with the problems that you’ve personally solved.
It could be the most important ingredient to your blog’s content and/or focus long-term. You may even begin to realize that some of the challenges you’ve faced (and overcome) might have enough legs for an entirely new blog (although be careful not to experiment too much!).
In any case I’d love for you to check out Justin’s blog and the interview and give him and myself your candid feedback and thoughts.
In addition, I’d love for you to think about some of the topics that I discussed with Justin and seek to apply them in your own lives and blogs. Let me know how that goes and what you’re actively thinking about!
It was a blast having you on the show, John! Thanks for being open and devoting time to help others.
sure thing bro! love the voice.
I was joking with my wife about that. Maybe I ought to get back into radio.
I really enjoyed the interview. There were several good takeaways especially the one about the your most valuable asset.
I find that I often think when things are easy for me, they must be easy for everyone, which limits my ability to actually help people. It almost makes me ill thinking about how much more I could have done had I not come to that conclusion so quickly.
totally agree with this…!
That’s really good stuff. One of your major principles I have a hard time with though. A lot of successful online personalities also talk about giving away free stuff – giving away your best without worrying about it.
But how do you eventually make a living for yourself? What comes out of it? I want to help people make a huge change in their lives just like the next guy, but how do you end up supporting yourself?
Anyway, great interview, thanks for the insight.

you balance what you give away for the things you can profit from. perhaps more of the former than the latter… but the latter makes it count.
