1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,260 Please Spencer tell me about your vision 2 00:00:03,620 --> 00:00:05,260 Yeah, so 3 00:00:05,260 --> 00:00:13,160 Division behind our outlier audio is to be able to help talented entrepreneurs and business professionals get booked on the podcast 4 00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000 You know, I when I found podcasts in 2017 5 00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,660 I just realized that this was a platform where everyday entrepreneurs business professionals 6 00:00:23,660 --> 00:00:26,480 Whoever anybody that wants to get out there and teach can do so 7 00:00:26,480 --> 00:00:29,920 But it takes time to do that, you know 8 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:37,100 Anybody that actually has talent representation typically has a whole team doing just that and so I started this as a way to let 9 00:00:37,800 --> 00:00:44,020 Talented people continue doing what they're doing so that they're not spending time doing things like cold outreach for podcast 10 00:00:45,160 --> 00:00:47,160 Yeah, I totally get it. Um 11 00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:52,960 How did you start where you're at right now? How did you start the outlier audio? 12 00:00:52,960 --> 00:00:57,600 Yeah, so I was in the music industry for 15 years and I started off doing 13 00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:03,120 Concerts in my hometown and then scaled it up to doing multi-day music conferences and festivals 14 00:01:03,120 --> 00:01:05,880 And I ran some small record labels and stuff like that 15 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:11,720 But pretty much all along the way I was dealing on either side of talent representation and like I said when I found 16 00:01:12,040 --> 00:01:17,880 Podcasts in 2017. I actually just thought everyone was listening to was Mark Cuban or Richard Branson or something 17 00:01:17,880 --> 00:01:23,640 I then found out that wasn't the case. And so I recognized there probably wasn't infrastructure there 18 00:01:23,960 --> 00:01:31,280 Supporting these people getting booked on podcasts. They're probably just doing it themselves. And so then when Kovac shut down the whole industry 19 00:01:32,400 --> 00:01:38,000 Obviously artists can perform but neither could anybody else that couldn't go to conferences or expos 20 00:01:38,720 --> 00:01:41,360 Or meetups or anything like that speaking engagements 21 00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:47,760 and so I saw podcasts as a way for people to perform while they were stuck at home and 22 00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:53,560 Again, just I just saw a need to be able to help those people. I mean, especially in that time 23 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,520 Everyone didn't know what was gonna happen to their business their business might have already been affected 24 00:01:57,520 --> 00:02:01,840 And so they had to focus on doing whatever they could to continue spreading the word 25 00:02:01,840 --> 00:02:08,000 But also continue, you know driving sales and that kind of thing. And so doing outreach to podcasts is time-consuming 26 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,640 I just saw a way to help them with that. Yeah, man 27 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:18,880 I'm on the same track right now because I'm in the midst of beginning my own podcast outside of vision pros and I'm 28 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:22,480 Excited and terrified. I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm gonna figure it out as I go 29 00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:28,000 So who knows I might be reaching out to you soon and get some information and some insider tips, but awesome 30 00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:31,640 I actually just launched my podcast today. So I'm sweet 31 00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:34,360 Perfect timing. Yeah, man 32 00:02:34,360 --> 00:02:40,080 So aside from seeing that people needed that foundation and that structure behind their podcast 33 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:43,880 What's the why behind you doing this? What's the fuel to keep you going? 34 00:02:45,080 --> 00:02:49,560 You know, I started booking concerts because I wasn't good enough to be in my cousin's band 35 00:02:49,560 --> 00:02:55,720 But I wanted to be involved like I you know, I wasn't I wasn't it wasn't because I wasn't mad at them 36 00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:58,000 I couldn't I wasn't good. That's why I couldn't be in the band 37 00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:02,120 But I was like I could I could like we lived in a little farm town 38 00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:08,120 There wasn't much to do and so I was like I could rent out a little hall and set up a PA and put on a show 39 00:03:08,120 --> 00:03:11,200 I mean there were a bunch of bands in the area and so 40 00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:14,920 My career is pretty much always been built around 41 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:21,560 Supporting talented people in whatever way I could you know, that was my contribution to what it is 42 00:03:21,560 --> 00:03:25,800 They do for the world whether that was an artist or you know 43 00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:30,280 Someone in the personal development space or someone in financial education or something 44 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:38,280 I put my time and talents to work helping them do what they do because what they're doing is is 45 00:03:38,280 --> 00:03:42,840 In my opinion helping the masses in whatever area they're doing and so 46 00:03:43,400 --> 00:03:49,640 I've never looked at myself as someone that was going to change the world or like make a huge influence myself 47 00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:51,640 But I can support the people that do 48 00:03:52,360 --> 00:03:56,200 Thank you for being here today.
