There you go.

All the marketing tips Better you free. But, Sean, I gave you a great intro, but I wanna hear it from you. Introduce yourself to my, my audience, please.

Yeah, man. Joined the the US Air Force at 18 retired at 38. My last day of duty was December 1st of 2021. And during that time, I built 4 businesses, 2 of which I sold. And I even sold the radio

show. Nice.

So, yeah, I started Life Transformation Radio in 2017. 476 episodes later, it got sold, and then I started 2 more Podcast, and now I host 3.

Nice. I love that. I love using podcasting to grow your business and, create businesses from it. I'm a big proponent of it, and I like the idea that you sold the podcast that that we're gonna touch on. But before before we go into anything, why did you you had a cushy job. You're working in the military. Obviously, there's like, you're working in the, the air force. There's some danger involved, obviously, military.

But why did you decide to create, a side hustles and businesses?

Well, I actually needed some money, and funny story.

You're saying the military doesn't pay enough?

Oh, no. Not even close. So I was stationed in England and this is the time where like foam parties and glow stick parties and techno and happy hardcore and house music. I mean, this is you go into a club and you just you just go, man. You just go hard. So I was always drinking double vodka and red bulls. It's amazing. And I had glow sticks and all the ladies were like, hey, you know.

So it's just, man, it was such a good time. We always went to the same club, me and my buddies. We always had the glow sticks. You always knew we were the, crowded around us. And I had the best pickup line ever. I was like, what's up, girl? I'm an American. And they, like, loved it. Like, everything that was happening, and I loved everything that was happening, all attention and everything.

And I said man, I gotta create a business around this. So I became a DJ, and I started DJing around England, the I started DJing when I left England and Idaho, and then we built an entertainment company DJing weddings, parties, award ceremonies. Give it we were the AV video guys over at conferences, summits, events, all that stuff.

All while still in the military.
