In episode 99, we have a solo episode. Today, we will continue talking about my favorite topic of late. Not done yet. I can remember the ridicule I got when I started real estate. Heck, I got it when I wrote a book, started a podcast and opened a swag shop. No one starts at the end. No one starts with millions or billions in the bank and hundreds or thousands of employees. Everyone starts from zero. As you grow yourself or a business, expect the naysayers. Just smile at them. Let them know you'r...

The 98th episode of Dad's Rules is a solo episode. We kick off the show talking about multi-tasking and how it can't actually be done with any level of effectiveness. Next, we talk about getting attention. Social media posting can be to get the attention of your ideal client, a potential sponsor or product you want to promote just to name a few.

Episode 96 is a solo podcast. Why a solo podcast? A couple reasons. I have some things on my heart that I honestly didn't need a guest to be involved. I also may have procrastinated, not booking studio time as well as reaching out with enough notice to some guest. I spend the front of the episode going into some behind the scenes info about the podcast and what it was like in the early days up until now. For those looking to start a podcast, this will give you an idea of what I did wrong, what I...

For episode 83, we begin by talking about 80s music. I may meet someone and forget their name 3 seconds later, yet, somehow, I have all this useless music knowledge taking up brain space.
