SPI 152: How a Guest Post Became a Product and The Story of Cole’s Classroom

SPI 152: How a Guest Post Became a Product and The Story of Cole’s Classroom

#152: When I met this week’s guest, Cole Humphus, two things stood out: the amazing story behind his online business and his generosity. Cole is the owner of Cole’s Classroom, an online resource for photographers. Cole had been offering his photography tips and videos for free when he stumbled upon a brilliant way to monetize his products. Just last week he left his day job to focus full time on his online photography business and the passive income lifestyle, all thanks to a passion project that turned into an incredibly successful online business.

SPI 150: A Day in the Life of Pat—My (New) Routine, Schedule, and Habits Shared

#150: A few months ago, I added something new to my life: a morning routine. The results have been so dramatic that I had to share them with you all. That’s what this week’s episode is all about. I put together this routine after interviewing Hal Elrod, author of The Miracle Morning in SPI Podcast Session #140, and after continually hearing other successful people rave about the power of their morning routine. They talked about how many aspects of their lives it transformed, from their productivity and focus to their health and personal life. I figured I had to give it a try.

SPI 139: How to Work a Room and Socialize for Success with Susan RoAne

#139: I am so excited for you to meet this week’s guest: Susan RoAne. She’s generous, she’s brilliant, and she’s been a huge inspiration to me—she even manages to make me blush in this episode. Her superpower? How to work a room. Susan was one of 1,200 teachers who lost their jobs during a massive layoff of San Francisco public school teachers. She got the idea to start a career change workshop, designed specifically for teachers. The next thing she knew, she had 100 people on her waiting list. That workshop became a book, and that book led to many more books. Now, she’s helping thousands of people network, mingle, and feel comfortable in any room.

SPI 135: How an Animator Built an Online Business by Being Transparent

#135: My guest this week is Morr Meroz, an animator who runs BloopAnimation.com. As an animator straight out of art school, Morr wasn’t used to thinking about his creative career in business terms. He created film after film, attracting very little traffic on his YouTube channel, until the day he tried something different: he posted a video called “How to Make an Animated Movie”. The overwhelming response stunned him. He had attracted an audience simply by being transparent about his process.

An idea just sitting in your head can’t truly help anyone, and you definitely cannot make money from it until you execute and create. Well, today’s guest on The SPI Podcast, Stephen Key would most likely disagree, because you can get paid for your ideas. He has, and with over 30 different ideas that he’s licensed to other companies, he’s making millions.
