In this episode of Freestyle Friday with your host Travis Chappell, he discusses a subject that means a lot to him for obvious reasons: podcasting. He shares the three things that you need to start a podcast. Episode Highlights: Travis Chappell introduces the topic of podcasting. Why do you need a ‘blue ocean’ for your podcast? What does ‘blue ocean’ mean as it pertains to podcasts? What type of mic does Travis use for his podcast? Be into your podcast for the long-term. You should get a coach when you start a podcast. 3 Key Points: Niches can become too specific to the point that they become limiting. Use minimal equipment for your podcast. Having a successful podcast takes patience. Tweetable Quotes “You need a blue ocean. A lot of other people will say it is your avatar, it's your ideal listener, it's your niche, whatever name you want to give it.” – Travis Chappell “The goal is to monetize quickly, and that is true. But not to the point where that is your only goal from the beginning.” Did you love the value that we are putting out in the show?

In this episode of Freestyle Friday, your host Travis Chappell talks about how to get clarity in your goals. When was the last time you sat down and made sure you were still on track to hit your goals? Learn why it’s important to recalibrate early and often. Episode Highlights: You have to ask yourself whether your goals are important to you. Take the time to ask yourself four questions: What’s the truth about where you are? Write down your one-year goals. Write down why these goals are important. Write down the capabilities you need in order to achieve your goals. You need to be aware that you may not currently be the person who can achieve your goals. Start on the trajectory you want to be on even if it doesn’t make sense in the here and now. Be honest with yourself when you set your goals. The more clarity you have in your life the more fulfilled you will be. 3 Key Points: Know the truth about where you are with your goals right now. Set goals in terms of looking back on the next year. Times of hardship are the reasons that you should stay on track and keep working toward your goals. Tweetable Quotes: “Too many people are chasing after something that other people think is important.” -Travis “Write down your goals as a year from now looking backward.” -Travis “If your why is strong enough you’ll find out the how.” -Travis Check out FranBridge Consulting for premier non-food franchise opportunities: travischappell.com/franbridgeOur Sponsors:* Check out Kinsta: https://kinsta.com Learn more about your ad choices.
