RED 194: What You Can Learn From Christian Entrepreneurs (Even If Your Business Is Secular)

National Religious Broadcasters (NRB) held its International Christian Media Convention in Nashville this year. I attended for a couple of days, even though there is nothing about what I do in alignment with NRB's mission to "spread the life-changing Truth of the Gospel of Jesus Christ through every electronic medium available."

I talk about marketing here and I don't care if you're Christian, atheist, or somewhere in between.

Still, I know a good opportunity when it knocks... On this episode of RED Podcast, I talk about what I saw and what I learned at the event.

What You'll Learn:

The most important characteristic of entrepreneurs
Why I was in the same room as Ted Cruz
What a church can teach you about blogging, podcasting, and online video
A lesson on content creation from an old school motivational speaker
The reason I personally edit every single episode of RED Podcast (even though there are professional audio editors who could do the job better)
Is it a church or a shopping mall?
Why it seems like Kirk Cameron is in every Christian movie
What it takes to compete in the Christian movie business (or any movie business)
There is no excuse for this...
My connection to VeggieTales
Two types of companies at a Christian business convention -- which one are you?
Why a 21-year-old life coach has a hard time getting business (even though he may be able to help you)
The reason evangelical Christians can't stand Donald Trump -- remember this when you next promote your business
An advantage some atheist entrepreneurs have over Christians and other "religious" entrepreneurs (but only a slight advantage)
The problem with putting your content on satellite television networks
What Jesus would do...
The lie marketers tell about selling books on Amazon
Christian? Secular? Either way, this is the most effective form of marketing...
A "feel good" marketing technique that will get you nowhere (so stop doing it immediately)
