#125 - 3RD ANNIVERSARY WITH AUTHOR AND ENTREPRENEUR James Oliver, Jr. - 20171015

Be sure to find Business in the Bedroom - A Bootstrapper's Guide to Doing It, with ME--Curve the Cube host, Jaime Legagneur. I've built my business, Flint Stone Media, from MY bedroom as my passionate pursuit of making OTHER people's dreams and goals come to fruition.

I started my first podcast on this subject back in 2014, calling it "Curve the Cube," interviewing other people on how they had been finding success doing what they truly love--in order to guide not only myself, but also others. And, I've been building a business around helping others achieve their OWN business goals ever since. So, this new show, Business in the Bedroom, is my latest effort to do just that, and I'm sooo happy that you're going to be joining me.

Normally, this show will be delivered every other week on Mondays. But, I'm getting things ready to launch on Monday, January 4th with a strong 8-episode push, which I'll give a rundown for in this trailer, so you can know what's coming up!

I’m assuming you will be listening to this, because you are either running a business from YOUR bedroom or are thinking about it. So, please visit BizInTheBedroom.com for all the ways we can connect, such as:

• emailing me at Jaime@FlintStoneMedia.com
• following me on social media:

Introducing Finding Florida, the podcast that takes you "from Country to Coast."  Join your tour guides (an unlikely pair), City Girl Jaime ("Jemmy") and Country Boy Glenn, as they explore the amazing sights and sounds of the Sunshine State.  A truly unique travel adventure show that brings you along for the ride, figuratively and literally.  Listen in...

Sometimes, it takes the perfect storm of events to force you to pause, take a deep breath, and take stock. And, when that perfect storm collides with a perfectly blooming opportunity, the heavens are aligning for a BIG change. Well, this episode marks such a change!

I’m excited to announce the next chapter in curving my own cube right here on this podcast and to reveal what adventures I have on the horizon. As you may be aware, I have recently founded the Florida Podcast Network, and the ball is starting to roll really quickly with all of that--including a brand new show! So, the news you’re about to hear is nothing short of EPIC.

And, the timing was just perfect to have my mentor, Glenn the Geek from the Horse Radio Network, record this huge announcement with me. So, major thanks to him for helping me break the news.

The future is bright, and I’m looking for my shades… Listen as the Florida Podcast Network becomes “The Voice of the Sunshine State”!!

Welcome to the THIRD ANNIVERSARY episode of the Curve the Cube Podcast!! My special guest on this milestone of a day is author and entrepreneur, James Oliver, Jr. of WeMontage, who wrote a book that I absolutely fell in love with and have discussing in pieces with a few of my most recent guests. His book, The More You Hustle, the Luckier You Get, provides a deluge of raw, relatable trials and triumphs that all of us shooting for a dream can find both humor and comfort in.

In this episode, James parses out the difference between being a successful entrepreneur and having a successful business, and we touch back on those concepts I discussed earlier in this series of episodes:

• Listening to that inner voice and honoring your true self
• Going out on your own takes effing hard work
• Keeping the faith
• "Don't make safe choices in life because it's convenient to do so."

James doesn’t pull any punches and was simply the PERFECT pick to sum up some of the main touch points I’ve been covering all along on this show. So….

Enjoy!!

And, thank you from the bottom of my heart for listening for these past three years; as you've heard me say on the last couple of episodes, my plan has been to flipping the name of the show from from “Curve the Cube: Where Dreamers Become Doers” to “Dreamers Become Doers: Curve the Cube and Do the Impossible.” But, after a very thoughtful conversation with my mentor, Glenn the Geek from the Horse Radio Network, there is an even BIGGER change that I now have planned for the show and hope you can all get behind. As the coincidence of good timing would have it, Glenn and I will be spending some time together this weekend. So, he’ll join me in recording a fully fleshed-out announcement and explanation of that change. So, be sure to look for that, as it could even be released ahead of the next scheduled release date for the show, which would normally be the first.

I had a chance to catch up with long-time friend of the podcast--artist and photographer, Jamaal "Visualist" Clark.

We chat about his painting, his photography, and expanding his horizons and his vision for the future!

Now, I didn't have a chance to record a Learning Curve segment for this episode. Things have been CRAZY these last couple of weeks with technical issues post-Hurricane Irma and with preparing for my International Podcast Day broadcast. But, I promise to get The Learning Curve back on track for the next episode!!

Also, I'll be starting up a new segment in a future episode where I share something cool that a former guest or one of you guys is doing in pursuing your dream. And, I'm open to suggestions for naming that segment. Drop me a line on the Dreamers Become Doers Facebook page to make your suggestion!

One of my favorite people (and my birthday buddy), Jason "Jafleu" Fleurant, visits the podcast FOR THE THIRD TIME!! He's our first three-peat, and this is our most exciting conversation to DATE! He shares fun stories of his milestones, opens up about the struggles, lays down insightful knowledge, and comes through with all the feels. He is a remarkable talent who is a rising star!!

Included in this episode is a VERY special announcement of my own--one that is a culmination of 6 months of solid hard work on my part and mentorship on the part of Glenn the Geek from the Horse Radio Network. It's HUGE.

This episode is being released ahead of schedule, as Hurricane Irma is most likely going to knock out my power and internet for a while. Eek! So, to all my listeners in Florida, download it NOW, so you can use it as a distraction while you are hunkering down. Be safe. Take Irma seriously, and I will talk to you all on the other side!

Enjoy!!

Thanks for joining me on my second annual birthday episode! Episode #122 will sound very different, as I sewed together a number of daily Podcast Movement recaps with the newly-discovered Anchor App almost exclusively using my phone. The audio quality does vary from clip to clip, as I was experimenting on the fly with the app in part for the next episode of Eggheads After Hours, out on the 3rd.

In addition to my PM17 adventures, you'll hear my IGNITE presentation, my interview with Chris Krimitsos--the man behind The Messengers: a Podcast Documentary, and (what I was most excited about) my birthday interview with Glenn Hebert from the Horse Radio Network!

So, sit back and relax, and enjoy this 122nd episode of Curve the Cube!!! And, at the end, I'll share a major change brewing for the future of this show. It's massive, guys... MASSIVE!

Hey! Welcome to episode 121 of Curve the Cube where we talk to people walking the walk--those dreamers who've become doers--or, "curvists," as I like to call them, since they curve their way around those obstacles and figure out how to get stuff done. And, this episode features a lady who I am not only so happy, but also so proud to call a friend. Her name is Kate Volman, and if you are also a fan of my other podcast, Eggheads After Hours, then you have heard her voice before giving all kinds of fantastic tips, or "Business Bites," as she calls them, about how to propel your business forward. She is undeniably smart and strategic, AND she has figured out how to really craft her career with purpose.

Kate's specialty is vlogging--a.k.a., “video blogging”--and using videos to create fantastic brand content, communicate with her followers, and create lasting relationships. If you have a blog, vlog, marketing team, or are just thinking, "What's the best way for me to get my message out there and build an online reputation?" Kate is for you!!

Now, the Learning Curve segment at the end of this episode is going to be SUPER short, because Kate does such a fantastic job of digging in deep with her ideas and creating clear action items for you to take. So, I really don't have to do much. She makes my job so much easier, lol.

So, let's get on with my talk with Kate Volman. You are going to gain so much valuable information and see pretty quickly why I adore her so.

Enjoy!!

Thanks so much for joining me on episode 120 where I feature one of my new best friends (seriously... I told her I was adopting her as my new little sister), photographer Nikyta Haynes!! Her brand is Kyta Beez and her tag line is "Definitely Different" and I can personally testify that this girl STANDS OUT!! I got to meet her at an art exhibit by long-time friend of the show, Jafleu. She was just walking around doing her thing and taking pictures. I had brought my son, Jordon, along with me and surprised him by bringing his camera, so he could take pictures, too. (He wants to be a photographer when he grows up, after all.)

We ran into Nikyta while wandering the various photography studies and Jordon and I were both instantly taken by her. She was so kind to him, he loved her "cool" camera, as he put it, and they even took photos together in one of the professional studios. You simply don't meet kind people like that everyday. And, when she gave me a glimpse into her story, I just HAD to have her on the show!

And, she was so nice in joining me at my Entrepreneur Influencers Brunch hosted by Style Chambers last weekend. She took some great photos of the event, which you can browse through here.

Now, sit back and relax and listen to this inspiring episode with Nikyta and check out her work at Kytabeez.com! It's episode 120... enjoy!
