Podcasting and Google Hangouts are the “IN” way to build your list and provide massive value to your audience.  And since I don’t believe in 2nd best, I had to bring on the Queen of Google Hangouts, Ms. Brandee Sweesy.  (brandeesweesy.com) Don’t know what a Google Hangout is?  Don’t worry…you will by the end of the hour!  They are the perfect way to launch your new business or your existing brand.  (I’ll even be doing one later this month) This show was recorded while sitting on the floor at the coffee table of my new house.  I’m painting and fixing up the place before I move in, and I’m really excited about it.  I’ll have a dedicated podcast studio and everything! We talked about a lot of great things on this show, like how to get into the public speaking circuit, what Brandee spent over 30,000 dollars on to train for what she’s doing now, how the same concept from two different teachers can give you 2 completely different learning experiences, what app all the cool kids are using, and so much more!

Hilare. iPhone Apps: Voxer Heytell   Best Show Quote (or ever): “Screw it, just do it. “

JJ Collier is a lot of things: Pro Snowboarder, Top Apparel Designer, Family Man.  He also happens to be my best friend.  Over the years, I’ve grown to understand how important it is for us to be well-presented as Solopreneurs. Opportunities in everyday life open up if you’re well-presented, and you “get it”. As someone who’s made a career out of focusing on the aesthetic side of how we present ourselves, JJ is armed with some amazing tips and tricks when it comes to Men’s fashion. Don’t worry ladies…your time will come.  In the meantime, use this show as a “shopping guide” if you have always wanted your man to have as much style as you do. JJ and I talk about a number of things related to men’s style, including where to spend your money in your wardrobe, what kind of jeans to buy, why “fit fit fit” is far more important than anything else, how and why to tailor a shirt, and the 5 essentials in every man’s wardrobe. It’s a topic I really enjoy, and one that isn’t discussed enough in this space.  So, get yourself a subscription to GQ, and let your credit card do the walking when you get inspired. As I mentioned in the show…if you are out looking for some shoes or something, tweet them to me @solohour and I’ll give you the “yay” or “nay” on them.

Sara France is a badass.  There…I said it. The wedding photographer of wedding photographers. Her weddings are featured on Apple Computers in the Apple Store. She’s flown all over the world for huge companies like United Airlines.  She travels around the world and shoots, speaks, and inspires entrepreneurs and photographers from all over the world with photography and Apple Aperture tips & training.  She’s a super tech-nerd, has a fantastic smile, and is a blast to be around.  She’s a queen of delegating and outsourcing, lives an amazing life with her dog Bodie, and completely lives the Solopreneur lifestyle. In this show, we truly embody the “coffee shop” vibe.  We had a great conversation, and dug into customer service, being thoughtful to your employees and clients, outsourcing and delegating, dealing with tough clients (Bridezilla’s anyone?) a great tradition her grandma started, over delivering, a literal slew of apps and websites (Have you gotten your FREE resources for every solopreneur download yet?), and had a bunch of laughs along the way. Here’s Sara’s formula for delegating: A. can I do it myself? B. should I do it myself? C. is it more than $50/hr Getting engaged?
