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
