    We Can't Ignore This Anymore And Neither Should You

    We Can't Ignore This Anymore And Neither Should You

    We’re changing a lot of things up over here at Hustle & Flowchart. We’re in the middle of a rebuilding phase, completely overhauling almost everything in our business.

    In this quick episode, Matt breaks down one of the big topics we’re going to start to put a ton of focus on. Today we’re talking about Web 3 and decentralization. It’s something that we can avoid anymore. We talked about it with Michael Taggart back in 2017 and we circled back around with Joel Comm in 2021. The first time, our brains weren’t ready for it. We didn’t know what to do with the information other than just throw some money at some cryptocurrencies.

    Now, it’s finally clicking and we can’t avoid talking about it. The pandemic has accelerated the Web 3 journey to mainstream and it’s only a matter of months before it becomes the normal way that people do things. This changes everything and those that are still ignoring it or writing it off will really regret that decision in the near future.

    “Web 3 will be where almost all future financial opportunities will lie” - Matt Wolfe

    Some Topics We Discussed Include:

    • Where we’re taking this podcast in the future
    • “You can plug your ears and maybe the future will go away”
    • What is Web 3?
    • How Web 3 will impact the way people make money
    • How online education is changing as a result
    • What you should study right now...

    What We Learned Running A Booth At Traffic & Conversion

    We’re back with another Therapy Session! In this episode, we consider renaming our show (just kidding!) and dive into some of our takeaways from attending the Traffic & Conversion Summit. It was a great event and there was a LOT going on. We chat about  how we set up our booth, some things we learned about the ins and outs of renting a booth, how we changed our tactics as the event went on and some of the amazing people we chatted with while we were there.

     

    There were some things we did purposely to make sure our booth was not only one of the most inviting and interesting ones there, but attracted great conversations with attendees and sponsors alike. We also dive into several a-ha moments we got while attending the event and why we have changed our goal for the future. If the idea of making amazing connections to further your business growth excites you, check out our conversations with Justin Schenck and Gary Henderson for more insight into growing your network and connecting with influential people.

    On the expo floor, we had our own little hangout where people were just floating to us and chatting with us the whole time.” - Matt Wolfe

    How To Capitalize On "The Creator Economy"

    How To Capitalize On "The Creator Economy"

    This episode is going to be a great extension of what we have been chatting about in the last few weeks. Also, since we’ve been talking a lot about branding, we are back to branding these episodes as a Therapy Session once again. There’s been some great opportunities that we have been discussing for a while, specifically in the creator economy. We now see our company as a media company rather than just a podcast. We also know there are those listeners who are not necessarily trying to create a media brand, so we wanted to speak to that audience. If you know that the creator economy is getting bigger, there’s never been a better time to figure out how to sell the shovels to that industry without having to be an influencer. 

    We talk about the opportunities that we see in the creator economy and some cool stats that compare it to the gig economy. We also drop some insight into how you, as an entrepreneur can use this opportunity. Once you become aware of where the money and attention is flowing, you can position yourself and ride that wave with the creators. It’s a smart approach and we’ll talk about some ways where it’s not you building the media company, but you can be the specialist to provide your services to those on the rise, even positioning yourself for rev deals and partnership. Once you listened, be sure to check out our chats with Gary Henderson and Travis Chappell for tips on how to make connections and network with influencers on a level playing field.

    Position yourself properly and strategically - anyone can do that now with the creator/influencer economy.” - Joe Fier

    The fact that each one of these things has so many subtasks, is a huge opportunity for digital marketers who want to go and specialize in one of those. Just look at YouTube, and look at one of the tasks you’ve got to do for YouTube. There’s a business there that you can go and replicate for people over and over again.” - Matt Wolfe

    Some Topics We Discussed Include:

    • Examples of opportunities that never existed before, which you can specialize in and build a business around
    • Some interesting stats on where the creator economy is headed
    • A look behind the scenes of how we are building our media company
    • Generalists vs. specialists in the agency world, and how the pandemic has switched things up
    • Ideas on how to leverage the creator economy 
    • Steal one of our business ideas and run with it!
    • How to present a no-brainer deal to a creator, and turn it into a rev share deal

    Marketing Is Changing - Adapt or Go Broke

    This episode has been a long time coming, as we have been thinking about some of this stuff since 2013. Many of our listeners have told us how much they miss our Therapy Sessions where we talk about what we are doing in the business and our struggles and wins, and this show will include a lot of those insights.

    The big four - the GAFA companies - are all battling it out right now over things like privacy, the various ad platforms and methods of advertising, and all the smaller companies who are trying to play by the rules are getting squashed in the mix.” - Matt Wolfe

    Here's Why Branding Is Vital

    Here's Why Branding Is Vital

    We’re back, coming at you from the world-famous Hustle & Flowchart Studios! Today we are talking about branding, our thoughts and our experience with it and what we are learning about branding lately including the psychology behind it. It’s been a big focus lately in that we are trying to get ourselves dialed in on our brand, uplevel the video quality, and revamping our website design. There’s some specific reasons why we feel now is the time to be branding and we dive into this on today’s episode. 

    We will be covering some low hanging fruit ways to brand that you probably haven’t thought about. There’s also a few cool videos that we will reference and one of more interesting ways that one major influencer is building his brand plus the surprising reasons behind it.

After you’ve listened, be sure to check out the past shows we’ve done with Ryan Lee and Ryan Berman to give you some additional ideas on branding and building your tribe.

    It’s important to make sure you have the brand understood before you do any dramatic things to the perception of your brand. Ask yourself how are people identifying and attaching to you right now and what’s the reason they are choosing you over another podcast?” - Joe Fier

    The way we see it is, the bigger the brand that we can build, the more attention that we can create on us, and then we can essentially sell that attention.” - Matt Wolfe

    Some Topics We Discussed Include:

    • What the leading YouTube influencers are doing outside the normal realm of promotion
    • Our top three favorite brands that have helped outfit our new studio
    • Some new platforms we might be testing out with our branding

    Random Thoughts on The Psychology of Money

    Random Thoughts on The Psychology of Money

    We’re back with another Tuesday episode, where it’s just the two of us, deep-diving into a few topics that we have found interesting lately, talking about what’s going on in our business, and sharing stuff that we have tried out, love, and want to share with you! Today, we are chatting about a book that we both read and really enjoyed - The Psychology of Money by Morgan Housel. We definitely had some a-ha moments after going through the book, which entails discussions surrounding the plight of Americans’ inability to set money aside for emergencies, why looking into historical data is not always the best option for determining the future, and why we think it’s important to avoid the dreaded lifestyle creep in order to set yourself up for wealth.

    We also talk about Matt’s Amazon wish list (wait until you hear what he got for Christmas!), our takes on investing (this is definitely NOT financial advice), and our thoughts about cool cars, crypto, and being on top of buying the latest gadgets. If you enjoyed this show and want to learn more about how to make your dollar go further while getting into the correct money mindset, be sure to check out our shows with James Altucher and Wealth Without Wallstreet’s Russ Morgan and Joey Mure

    Everyone has the ability to save, if you have the right psychology around how money works and the use of it as a vehicle to get what you want out of life.” - Joe Fier

    Most people study history and look at it as an indicator of what to expect for the future, but we are literally in unchartered territory every day.” - Matt Wolfe

    Some Topics We Discussed Include:

    • How most Americans can’t even come up with $400 for unexpected emergencies
    • What’s the real reason you are driving that super cool sports car?
    • Figuring out how to stop moving the goalpost 
    • How to approach money as a tool to get you that happiness you really want
    • The difference between being rich and having wealth
    • Do you suffer from “lifestyle creep”?
    • Our next sponsor is….Ferrari??
    • Why tying to predict trends based on historical evidence is not a good idea
    • Taking the pressure off a lot of common, desired things when it comes to money
    • Stressed about money? Good news - you are not crazy because we’re all in this together!

    The Yin And Yang of Joe and Matt

    The Yin And Yang of Joe and Matt

    On today’s show, we are mixing things up a bit. We usually chat amongst just the two of us on Tuesdays, on this episode we decided to use an interview of someone interviewing us. This was an interview done by Stephan Spencer, host of Get Yourself Optimized and Marketing Speak, two great podcasts. We really enjoyed his line of questioning and he even stumped us on a few things. He’s a deep thinker and is well studied, and we know you will enjoy this episode. 

    You’ll hear us work out some stuff and come to some realizations, such as how we got to the root of what makes us curators. Stephan is great at extracting details and asked about numbers and KPI’s, but it’s interesting because over time our business has shifted from looking at the numbers and more about prioritizing the lifestyle and inner joy. We also talk about various things we have learned from books that we love as well as how we handle our business relationship, some lessons learned from our early days in business and our ideas for the future. After you have listened, check out our previous chat with Stephan that we mentioned, since he is an SEO wizard as well as our conversation with Gary Henderson who gave us his takeaways on connecting with amazing and influential folks as well.

    Our goal, focus, and mind space is always on how to create better content, and we live in that world.” - Matt Wolfe

    We have established ‘No Working Wednesdays’...and it’s allowed us to go 80/20, go deeper on the key actions that we should be taking and it has us really focused in.” - Joe Fier

     

    Some Topics We Discussed Include:

    • Why you should focus more on creating systems and less on creating goals
    • One of our big a-ha moments that really took the pressure off
    • Our partnership and the good parts and bad (which basically never happen)
    • No Working Wednesdays!
    • Building assets, not liabilities, and how to really determine the difference between the two (it may be different than what you think)
    • How we celebrate, even if it’s the little things
    • Did we really meet at a party on the beach? Tune in to find out!

    This Episode Was Made Using Artificial Intelligence

    This Episode Was Made Using Artificial Intelligence

    There’s a cool tool that we have been playing with called Conversion.ai which writes copy for you and it’s essentially grabbing information from the web and molding it to your requests with approximately 30 different modes. It helps you come up with ideas, blog posts, emails, subject lines, and some folks are even creating books with it. 

    There’s also a copy idea generator, so we are answering these questions Jarvis came up with along with real questions sent in by our audience. If you want your questions answered, be sure to visit HustleAndFlowchart.com/ask, where you can write your questions and we will answer them live on an upcoming show. 

    We also tell you how we deal with affiliate promotions and how we test the waters, to decide whether a product or service makes sense to go all-in and promote. After you’ve listened, check out our chats with Rich Schefren where we dive into how big tech is changing and what you can do about it, as well as with Nikhil Aitharaju & Ryo Chiba and their views on the future of artificial intelligence and what is next for content creation.

    We should all be thinking about how we build our own platform or this thing that is a lot more valuable than some stand-alone piece of content that someone is probably cranking through using Jarvis.” - Joe Fier

    You take a concept from this book and one from this person and then you mold them all together and now you have your own view through your own personal filter.” - Matt Wolfe

    • Listen to our cool new, real-life sound effects!
    • Be sure to check out some clips of where it all began (in the intro)!

    Here's What We'd Tell Ourselves 15-Years Ago

    Here's What We'd Tell Ourselves 15-Years Ago

    In this episode, we want to talk about the direction of our show and how we’d like to chat with the entrepreneur that was us 15 years ago. We find that there’s a lot missing when we don’t have that perspective in mind, and maybe that’s you or you have a business and you want to go back to basics. We are talking about the handful of things that our younger selves would really appreciate hearing, such as our ideas on delegation, building our list, setting up systems, and how we put content out into the world.

    The overall theme is we want to identify different strategies that can help our younger selves and get past some hurdles and roadblocks even quicker. Another segment of today’s episode revolved around how we’ve been sending out emails, asking how we can help you and what are you struggling with in your business now. So if you have emailed us, listen up as we answer a few of the questions that we have received. When you’re done, go check out our conversations with Scott Carson and Stephen Esketzis for more ideas on how to set up systems and your content strategy to reach your audience more efficiently.

    Speaking to our younger selves is creating a content machine that allows you to not only grow your brand by putting things out to the world and be able to share it but connecting with highly connected and successful people. You can engineer that yourself by creating your own platform. - Joe Fier

    I’ve stopped thinking about being happy when and just enjoying what we are doing right now. I’ve shifted my thinking into ‘Let’s just make every day fun, and figure out how to make money off of that fun-ness that we’re having.’” - Matt Wolfe

     

    Some Topics We Discussed Include:

    • Before we knew what we were doing, drinking Corona and hanging out in the driveway
    • The mindset shifts which we both have had in the business, and have led us to have more time on our hands
    • Our platform way of thinking to connect with people and bring your message out to the world
    • How to become a merchant of attention so people can buy attention from you
    • The magic of leveraging a platform to build your own platform
    • The Catch-22 of being concerned about sending too many emails to your list
    • Wise words from the founder of Netflix
    • How our content strategy has allowed us to connect with not only our audience but a slew of amazing entrepreneurs
    • How we structure our free and paid content and why you should give away most of your information for free

    Matt Wolfe & Joe Fier - All Day I Dream About Systems

    Matt Wolfe & Joe Fier - All Day I Dream  About Systems

    We’re back again with our Therapy Session-ish chat - or soon to be called some other new awesome name. We record them roughly the week before the show goes live, so the content we bring you is as fresh as the memory of the last dollar you made online. Lately we’ve been talking about dialing in all the stuff in our business and how we are aligning our actions with where we are headed in the next 10 years and beyond. We know that we all have things that we do routinely, such as checking emails and touching base with people, and when you have a good system behind it, it’ll make your day go so much smoother. 

    You’ll especially enjoy listening to Matt’s background with designing systems and how his brain works when it comes to fine-tuning the most simple of tasks with the use of some very simple tools. He talks about his three-step process and how he’s able to get to the coveted inbox zero on a daily basis. After you’ve got your mind spinning, be sure to listen to our chats with Paul Minors and David Jenyns who give us even more strategies and tactics to build systems in your life and business, so you can have more time, be more productive, and scale your business.

    I do the stuff I least look forward to first so that all that’s left for the day is the stuff I do look forward to doing..” - Matt Wolfe

    There’s the momentum of task completion too. You start with the easiest task first, and you build from that point on.” - Joe Fier

     

    Some Topics We Discussed Include:

    • Bringing the fun energy pre-show a la The Foo Fighters
    • How to constantly be optimizing even the smallest of tasks to make everything more efficient
    • Matt breaks down his 3 step system for handling email communication
    • The tools we use to make our lives easier so we have time for more fun
    • How to get to inbox zero every day
    • Reframing all your work and tasks to be able to look forward to the fun part of your business
    • How to get your systems dialed in, even if you really stink at it
    • Our plans for the future direction of the show
    • Lessons learned about how to change your identity for the better

    Joe Fier & Matt Wolfe - Ramp Up The “Fun Factor” While Working

    Joe Fier & Matt Wolfe - Ramp Up The “Fun Factor” While Working

    As promised, we are back with another show that’s just the two of us sharing what we’ve been learning lately and how it’s impacted our lives for the better - all while we are having more fun! We’ve been doing a lot of soul searching and have been upgrading our lives in different ways. We’re also still continuing to get insights and help from our friends and podcast guests, which is one of the main benefits of what we do.

    We also discuss our new schedules, our awesome new studio space, how we’ve been able to rid ourselves of several limiting beliefs and make the adjustment to hand off work which was hard to do at first, but has freed us up and in turn, made more money. Plus, we give our thoughts on a recent video we watched which dissects how to enjoy the journey as well as how to determine what’s meaningful in your business so you can spend less time on the things you think are important or necessary, but are really holding you back. After you’ve listened, don’t forget to check out the conversations we mentioned with Erin Pheil, Angelo Sisco, and Marx Acosta-Rubio on how to manage your life and workflow, for more balance and free time.

    “There is a lot of mental clarity and that allows us to almost naturally have more fun.” - Joe Fier

    I go to my computer, Joe goes to his computer. I start working on things...we are sending files back and forth via Slack even though we’re next to each other, and the next thing we know it’s been 3 hours and we just built an entire funnel. Let’s go to lunch.” - Matt Wolfe

     

    Some Topics We Discussed Include:

    • How our new bachelor pad/podcast studio has made our life easier and more productive
    • Are burritos or tacos the next productivity booster? And who has the best tacos country-wide?
    • Enjoying the journey vs. getting to some specific destination
    • Working in opposition to today’s mindset of grinding it out now, for the glory later
    • Shout outs to our buddies at Alpha Hippie
    • Popping the limiting belief bubbles that hold us back
    • Making tasks like bookkeeping insanely fun
    • How to make things more fun

    Joe Fier & Matt Wolfe - Is Affiliate Marketing A Legit Business?

    What’s up, Hustle & Flowchart community?! We’re back with another therapy session and moving forward we are not only upping the frequency of these shows but want to make it more focused. On today’s show, we are diving into one of our favorite topics, affiliate marketing. We’re talking about how, after listening to one of our most popular therapy sessions from last year, we revisited what we are doing in the business, applied the 80/20 rule to our actions, and are making the necessary adjustment moving forward to focus on what we really love doing best - the platform building and building the audiences, and once we’ve built the audiences, showing people how we did it and tools that we used to do it.

    We also talk about some recent changes we made to our PodHacker membership, our love for our new studio and how it’s helped us to better manage our time, as well as a super cool Key Step Tutorial strategy and how we used it recently, promoting one of our favorite new tools, Conversion.ai. This is a great strategy that is not overwhelming to put in place, really targets those in your audience that are interested in what you are promoting, and is something that anything can do in their business. As always, we’d love to hear your thoughts as we appreciate you coming along with us on our journey! Don’t forget to check out our previous episodes where we discuss our affiliate marketing strategies: The Tools We Use For Affiliate Marketing and Unapologetic Affiliate Marketing Strategies

    It really was a point where we actually had an ideal business model right there, and we were very close to it, where we didn’t have to do much. But we let it almost grow in ways that we didn’t want that load on us.” - Joe Fier

    We really enjoy the platform building and building the audiences, and once we’ve built the audiences, showing people how we did it and tools that we used to do it.” - Matt Wolfe
