Cody Builds A Business

Today we have a great conversation with my good buddy and pal Adam Erhart. We sit down to talk about content marketing strategy and his outlook marketing for 2019. Adam and I are, some would say, marketing nerds (but our wives still love us)... so I really enjoyed this conversation. We cover a lot of ground, including the "expert's curse", why consistency is king, and how to muster the courage to put yourself out there.

They say "comedy is tragedy over time" - and on this episode I put on the vulnerability hat and just go for it. I had a really rough transition period from my 9-5 job to starting my own thing. There were milestones along the way, guiding my path (painfully at times).

Loved this quote from the book "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a ____" by Mark Manson about Self Awareness... And, part 1 of this double-header is - if you water it, it will grow. I don't care what it is, literal or metaphorical, if you feed something it tends to get bigger (your kid, yourself, your ego, your houseplants...).

This weekend we went to our favorite fast-casual restaurant - MOD Pizza. It's one of the few places that we ALL enjoy going to as a family.  They had something new on their menu... and I had a simple realization about it that I wanted to share with you today on the show. https://codyburch.com/ https://www.instagram.com/onehourfunnel/ http://onehourfunnel.com/podcast

Ep 108 we talked about 3 business ideas that I had tried that didn't quite work out as planned. Today we talk about 3 businesses that are absolutely crushing it and what we can learn from them. They are:  Stitch Fix Planet Fitness Bass Pro  And a special bonus ...AND if you're still curious - I peel back the curtain on my December Influence and Income (for probably the last time). https://codyburch.com/ https://www.instagram.com/onehourfunnel/ http://onehourfunnel.com/podcast

The signs are all around me ... every morning I pass by 2 failed business ideas on my way into my home office (no our home isn't that big; 1 is in the garage and 1 is glued to the window pane of the french doors of my home office). What have you tried and failed at? What are you excited about in 2019?  Take comfort knowing that no one (NO ONE) gets it right the first time...  You got this... https://codyburch.com/ https://www.instagram.com/onehourfunnel/ http://onehourfunnel.com/podcast

I sat around the room with 3 others guys about my age. Someone asked the ice-breaker question of when were we the most proud? All of us recounted tales of conquering some high school opponent or an achievement from college. "Huh..." I wondered. This is kind of sad that our best moments were 15-20 years ago (myself included). But, what if our best days were ahead of us? What if our most proud moments were in the future?
