Please Spencer tell me about your vision
Yeah, so
Division behind our outlier audio is to be able to help talented entrepreneurs and business professionals get booked on the podcast
You know, I when I found podcasts in 2017
I just realized that this was a platform where everyday entrepreneurs business professionals
Whoever anybody that wants to get out there and teach can do so
But it takes time to do that, you know
Anybody that actually has talent representation typically has a whole team doing just that and so I started this as a way to let
Talented people continue doing what they're doing so that they're not spending time doing things like cold outreach for podcast
Yeah, I totally get it. Um
How did you start where you're at right now? How did you start the outlier audio?
Yeah, so I was in the music industry for 15 years and I started off doing
Concerts in my hometown and then scaled it up to doing multi-day music conferences and festivals
And I ran some small record labels and stuff like that
But pretty much all along the way I was dealing on either side of talent representation and like I said when I found
Podcasts in 2017. I actually just thought everyone was listening to was Mark Cuban or Richard Branson or something
I then found out that wasn't the case. And so I recognized there probably wasn't infrastructure there
Supporting these people getting booked on podcasts. They're probably just doing it themselves. And so then when Kovac shut down the whole industry
Obviously artists can perform but neither could anybody else that couldn't go to conferences or expos
Or meetups or anything like that speaking engagements
and so I saw podcasts as a way for people to perform while they were stuck at home and
Again, just I just saw a need to be able to help those people. I mean, especially in that time
Everyone didn't know what was gonna happen to their business their business might have already been affected
And so they had to focus on doing whatever they could to continue spreading the word
But also continue, you know driving sales and that kind of thing. And so doing outreach to podcasts is time-consuming
I just saw a way to help them with that. Yeah, man
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
Excited and terrified. I don't know what I'm doing, but I'm gonna figure it out as I go
So who knows I might be reaching out to you soon and get some information and some insider tips, but awesome
I actually just launched my podcast today. So I'm sweet
Perfect timing. Yeah, man
So aside from seeing that people needed that foundation and that structure behind their podcast
What's the why behind you doing this? What's the fuel to keep you going?
You know, I started booking concerts because I wasn't good enough to be in my cousin's band
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
I couldn't I wasn't good. That's why I couldn't be in the band
But I was like I could I could like we lived in a little farm town
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
I mean there were a bunch of bands in the area and so
My career is pretty much always been built around
Supporting talented people in whatever way I could you know, that was my contribution to what it is
They do for the world whether that was an artist or you know
Someone in the personal development space or someone in financial education or something
I put my time and talents to work helping them do what they do because what they're doing is is
In my opinion helping the masses in whatever area they're doing and so
I've never looked at myself as someone that was going to change the world or like make a huge influence myself
But I can support the people that do
