From Laid Off to Business Startup Helping Indie Authors – BtR 101

Indie authors struggle with getting their works out into the public without the backing of the big five publishing houses. It's a tough barrier of entry for most.Recent tools have allowed writers to publish their works at a scale of 2-to-1 according to Patomi Media Group founder, Naomi Blackburn. More is needed to gain traction is a saturated market.Readers are limited in their thinking if they are reading simply what everyone else is reading in the Bestseller lists. A diversity of reading material also means diversity in thought.That is where Patomi Media Group comes in linking up indie authors with possible outlets and linking readers to up and coming indie authors. She does this by leveraging a magazine to bridge relationships among librarians, readers, and indie authors.Deeper StoryWe will also get to hear Naomi's deeper story about a career rut that led to a layoff. Banks would not finance her dream, and how she realized she didn't need bank loans to carry on.Naomi's story is one about taking a personal leap of faith, finding support, and helping others. If you are an indie author looking to get your work noticed, or know someone who is, this is the episode you don't want to miss.Resources and LinksPatomi Media Group Facebook PageIndiePicks website IndiePicksMag.comOur interview with indie author, Jeff Goins, Discarding the Myth of the Starving ArtistGo to BeyondTheRut.com/capsho for your free 14-day trial and see for yourself.

Midlife: Use the Gifts You Were Given – BtR 099

Midlife is a time when we lose our hair, groan when we stand up and don't quite have the spring in our step like we used to.Youth cannot be found again through the purchase of a sportscar or dating a younger woman.According to author and speaker Brene Brown, midlife is when the universe grabs you by the shoulders and tells you it is time to use the gifts we were given. It is time to get off the couch and put our leisure time into impact time.It's been 40 years or so, and many of us are not yet living the dream.

Lessons Learned from My First Solo Hiking Experience – BtR 089

Jerry recently took a solo trip to Choke Canyon State Park in Texas. A similarly planned trip had fallen through and he was determined to test his mettle on the trail, a trail, any trail.Choke Canyon State Park is not a large park. Most people come for fishing or boating. The park does not have a single trail that is more than 3/4 of a mile. Jerry stitched them all together and created his own five or six mile loop, then hiked it twice.Where there is a will there is a way. The trip was about testing out some new equipment, applying new skills, and having fun in the process. When the chance for a camping trip with the guys fell through, he found a way to create a solo hiking experience.Pursuing your dreams in some ways is like solo hiking. This episode stitches together some of the video he shot while on his trip. While solo hiking, he ponders on lessons learned regarding pursuing your dreams. There will be a lot of resistence to what you want to accomplish. It is ultimately up to you to make the decision to move forward, have faith in your abilities, and enjoy the journey.People will notice your success when you come back. They'll notice the change and want to be a part of it. Others will continue to be the naysayer and the doubter. Jerry shares what you should do about those who continue to tell you want you can't do."Don't let somebody telling you how you can't do your dream be why you don't pursue your dream. Just do it!"Links and ResourcesBtR 067 - Eric Giuliani is Traveling Tall and Living His DreamEmail Us!

The Drive Has to Come from Within You – BtR 086

Brandon and Jerry discuss the importance of taking a deeper look into ourselves when faced with someone who tells us we've maxed out on our potential, or have no potential at all.Is your own personal drive present?If not, is the dream you're pursuing your own? Does it energize you to think about it?That's the question Brandon and Jerry tackle using their sons' athletic experiences as the backdrop for today's lesson.Links and ResourcesShout out to Jared Easley!

7 Favorite Moments from 2016 – BtR 068

2016We have enough episodes to finally do a "Best of" episode to close out 2016. Listen to our Top 7 moments from 2016 episodes of Beyond the Rut.There were a lot of highlights to choose from, and this was probably the hardest episode to put together because of the limit we put on ourselves.Highlights(0:45) Our first highlight clip comes from BtR 021, From Ferris Bueller to Scheduling What Matters Most. Randy Pausch wrote a book called The Last Lecture which shared how he made the most of his life in its final year(s).(4:18) Note from Jerry: Similar to Brandon's first pick, I was driven this year by the question, "What if you only had five years left to live?" BtR 045(8:05) Brandon's second pick comes from the first interview we did in 2016. It was also the first interview we did ever. Davidson Young shared with us a concept he refers to as a "microfear" and how he combats them when he is his by one. BtR 022, Leaving Corporate Life to Pursue a Dream.(10:53) Jared Easley from Starve the Doubts Podcast brought an interesting nugget of insight regarding getting out of the rut. What if getting out of the rut entailed this approach? BtR 039, Become a Noticer.(13:57) Brandon went through a job change in 2016.

Compassion Fatigue – When Their Trauma Becomes Your Trauma BtR 063

Before you burn out, listen to this episode!The Rut of Compassion FatigueIt may have been your dream to be a nurse, a physician, a mental health professional, or even a police officer. You expose yourself to the trauma of others when you work in a caring profession.Your mind fails to distinguish between what is happening to others and what is happening to you.The trauma of others eventually becomes your trauma. That is one of the drawbacks of having empathy towards others.Compassion fatigue wears us down over time. It creeps in, and we may not realize it is happening to us. Vicariously experiencing trauma changes our minds, our outlook on life, and it may even sabotage our health.Amy Cunningham shares with us her experiences and knowledge of compassion fatigue. We will learn how it appears, and how to build the five resiliencies within us every day.Amy Cunningham BioAmy is a certified Compassion Fatigue Educator through Green Cross Traumatology. She has traveled throughout the nation advocating a balance between work and life through proven techniques for self-care.Amy has developed and implemented several assistance programs for organizations to enhance the care of their employees. Her recent TEDx San Antonio Talk, “Drowning in Empathy: The Cost of Vicarious Trauma”, has raised awareness of compassion fatigue and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).Her 18-year journey working with nonprofits and mental health organizations includes work in assisting adolescents overcome trauma, and redefine their lives.Cunningham currently serves as a leadership consultant for CHRISTUS Health facilitating training on effective communication. She has also taught hundreds of leaders within CHRISTUS Health about the importance of self-care and addressing compassion fatigue.ResourcesTEDx San Antonio Talk, “Drowning in Empathy: The Cost of Vicarious Trauma”Amy Cunningham bio on TEDx San Antonio pageGo to BeyondTheRut.com/capsho for your free 14-day trial and see for yourself.

Shaping Podcasts With Podshaper Chris Mann – BtR 062

Podcast Answerman Cliff Ravenscraft has advised podcasters for years audio quality is important for listeners. Poor audio quality can be a deal killer unless the content is absolutely a don't-miss.Musician and entrepreneur, Chris Mann, decided to apply his skills in digitally mastering music audio to the medium of podcasting. We had the pleasure to be at the beginning stages of Chris's endeavor. He edited episode 39 for us where we interviewed Marcia Upson from NaturallySlim.He's also done the edit and mastering for this episode.Success Comes from LeveragingThis episode was one of those experiences where Jerry did not have to do much. Having someone master the audio quality and trim the show down to its meat meant that all that needed to be done was to listen to the show for the show notes.A process that normally takes about four hours was cut in half!If time is money and your podcast is meant to bring traffic and leads to your products or courses, then you will want to listen to what Chris has to say about Podshaper and leverage his service for your show.You can spend your time focused on what you do best while he takes care of the audio quality for your show.But Wait!
