Out and About: Control the Risk of Failure with Joshua Sheats - Youversation Episode 035

(RPF is on Spring Break this week, so I'm sharing some interviews with you where I've been featured on other shows. Enjoy! -Joshua)

“I don’t think failure is a mark of shame. Failure and mistakes are inevitable.”

Things Joshua talks about in this episode:

• Why a “hunch” helped him move into his podcast career
• Why he had to ignore the advice of people around him to start the podcast
• Why he had to quit his job to start his podcast
• How he “mitigated” the details of failure
• When we do fail, let’s fail in small, manageable ways and make sure we have backup plans
• Why his podcast fills a gap he could not find anyone else filling
• Why he started his business with a podcast
• What social media platforms he uses to engage his audience and market the podcast
• His advice for people who want to start their business on digital platforms
• Why he thinks people confuse a platform and a tool with content and a strategy
• The podcast is not the benefit, it’s simply the tool that we use to deliver the content
• Why he follows NO ONE on social media
• Why he schedules free time and focus days
