Dub Washington's story is a testament to the power of mentorship and taking bold steps. He invested $2,500 into a mentorship program while earning just $573 a week, a decision that was both scary and transformative. Within two months of this investment, Dub left his job and fully committed to entrepreneurship, driven by the desire to provide a better life for his family. We delved into the intricacies of personal and business credit, with Dub providing valuable insights on how to build and leverage credit effectively. He emphasized the importance of maintaining a strong personal credit profile, even when focusing on business credit. Doug also shared strategies for obtaining business funding, including the concept of a "structure card" to build future banking relationships. 👉🏽Get Your Tickets To: https://podcastsummit.com/registration 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 JOIN THE COMMUNITY TODAY: https://www.themorningmeetup.com David on IG : https://www.instagram.com/dshands/ Dub On IG: https://www.instagram.com/dubwashington/ #entrepreneurship #business #howto #podcast

We talk about making super easy crafts that sell for high profits. In this episode of the Social Proof Podcast, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dr. Kylea Woodley-Jones, a full-time teacher and a highly successful crafter who has made over $2 million from her crafting business. Dr. Kylea shared her inspiring journey of balancing her teaching career with her passion for crafting, which she has been monetizing seriously for several years now. Dr. Kylea discussed how she started crafting as a way to earn extra money and how it eventually grew into a significant income stream, surpassing her teaching salary. Despite her financial success, she continues to teach because of her love for impacting students' lives and the stability it provides. 👉🏽Get Your Tickets To: https://podcastsummit.com/registration 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 JOIN THE COMMUNITY TODAY: https://www.themorningmeetup.com David on IG : https://www.instagram.com/dshands/ Dr. Kylea On IG: https://www.instagram.com/fromcrafttocash/ #entrepreneurship #business #howto #podcast

This is a masterclass on Podcast monetization. I dive deep into the world of podcasting and YouTube content creation with a special guest, Omar Eltakrori, who has mastered the art of podcasting for massive success. We start by discussing how my guest has achieved incredible financial milestones. The conversation then shifts to the strategic use of YouTube to grow a podcast audience. My guest emphasizes the importance of packaging content effectively, focusing on elements like titles, thumbnails, and the first 30 seconds of a video to capture and retain viewer attention. He shares insights on how to craft compelling titles that read like article headlines and the power of adding a "whisper" in parentheses to intrigue viewers further. 👉🏽Get Your Tickets To: https://podcastsummit.com/registration (Promo Code: PS25) 👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾👇🏾 JOIN THE COMMUNITY TODAY: https://www.themorningmeetup.com Grab the Podcast EBOOK👇🏾 **http://www.podcastebook.com SONY Cinema Line FX30 Super 35 Camera: https://amzn.to/4jUpift SMALLRIG V Mount Battery VB50 Black, 50Wh: https://amzn.to/3EGV1Sj Shure SM7dB Dynamic Vocal Microphone: https://amzn.to/3RWiQIZ Zoom H6 essential: https://amzn.to/42SCQkI ULANZI Mini Lantern Softbox Soft Light Modifier: https://amzn.to/4cPtWsP Disclaimer: As an Amazon Influencer, I earn from qualifying purchases.
