Interview with Derrick Michaud - Founder of Shelby Row Productions - Episode 85

Derrick is the Founder of Shelby Row Productions and host of Podlogix the Podcast, where we discuss podcasting for creators and producers. After working for 18 months as a solopreneur audio-editor, Derrick decided to scale up and increase his earnings. In 2019, Derrick started a podcast production agency, Shelby Row Production LLC., and began building a team of experts that would propel the business to the next level by upgrading service offerings to clients and allowing Derrick to focus more on growing the business. In 2 years of operation Shelby Row Productions went from a solopreneur operation to a six-figure grossing company that employs 12 contractors and has served for over 100 podcasts to-date.

Through that time Derrick was always in need of side hustles to pay the bills. Hosting trivia, driving for Uber, and independent auto appraising are just a few examples of side hustles. In search of another side hustle, Derrick discovered Upwork.com, a job posting platform for entrepreneurs. He quickly noticed a demand for podcast audio editing. After proposing to job openings relentlessly, Derrick landed his first client in January 2018. This new hustle became priority #1 and grew to the point where in June of 2019 Derrick decided to open an LLC and scale the up business. He did this by building a team of talented contractors that would upgrade the service offerings outside of audio editing and free up time for Derrick to work ON the company instead of IN the company. The company grew exponentially.
