The Longcut Podcast: Secret stories behind the overnight success.

The Longcut Podcast digs into stories behind the overnight success. Many of the businesses that we admire, the people that we follow, and the brands that we recognize seem to have come up out of nowhere. But everybody came from somewhere, and that's what this podcast, the Longcut, is all about.

This is a neat concept. Exposing the hard slog behind the "overnight success". Thoroughly enjoyed the first one and looking forward to hearing the next ones on my sucky commute.

@richard_gorbutt Thanks Richard!

As you can see from this video, I'm pretty excited about today's launch of The Longcut podcast! https://youtu.be/fsCNY3lxLIo

The Longcut is launching today! I have not one, but THREE episodes to share with you. The first episode is an interview with Ken Wallace of MastermindJam. Ken shares a lot of lessons about launching a new product, like: 1. How to manage risk when you're putting time and money on the line 2. Why charging for your product from the very beginning, instead of giving it away for free, can sometimes build a more loyal base of first adopters, and 3. Why there is no "there" in entrepreneurship. In Episode 2, I sat down with Shelley Delaney at Orange Coworking, my favorite office-away-from-the-office in Austin, Texas. Shelley has built an amazing sense of community into Orange Coworking, and we talk about why community is so important for solo founders and freelancers. Episode 3 is an interview with Brennan Dunn, who many of you will know from Double Your Freelancing and RightMessage. Brennan's story of how RightMessage evolved from the need to personalize marketing copy is really interesting. Brennan also gives us insight into why direct sales is so important for startups, and some techniques you may be able to adapt to pre-sell your product.

This is a neat concept. Exposing the hard slog behind the "overnight success". Thoroughly enjoyed the first one and looking forward to hearing the next ones on my sucky commute.
