Episode 2149

An athletic listener from Minnesota seeks advice on starting a fundraising campaign. Will he need to improve his social media for more people to notice? I love to know what you’re working on. I really miss being on the road. I’m actually doing a quick trip to Johanessburg passing through London as well, but it’s mostly a mileage run this time. As I look towards next year I’ll have a new book out in the summer and will definitely be doing more worldwide events.
“Hi, it's Justin from St. Paul, Minnesota. I've been listening for at least a year and hope to see you on tour sometime. I don't have a proper side hustle yet, at least not a moneymaking one, and that needs to change. I have a flexible day job that allows me to pursue my true passion: speed skating. I'm actually training to be on the U.S. Olympic team and want to compete in other global championships. I compete at the high amateur or low professional level. My question is: how can I create more financial support around this vision? Should I start some kind of Patreon? I feel conflicted about asking friends and family for money. I'd rather make products and sell them, but I don't know what they would be. Lastly, I also think I'd need to improve my social media usage for any of this to be possible. What do you think is best? Thanks for all you do!”
