    TSME 163: Rob Fitzpatrick

    This was a delightful conversation, and one that made me laugh more than any in recent memory. Rob Fitzpatrick shares the journey from showering under a 5-gallon bucket in a warehouse scheduled for demolition to running a satisficing lifestyle business with $20k/mo in book revenue and a growing community.

    This was a delightful conversation with emerging expert Denis Oakley. I especially loved how Denis "got his reps in" by selling business models on Upwork.

    TSME 161: Jonathan Stark Followup

    Jonathan suggested a followup conversation; I enjoyed hearing from him about his transition from surfing a once-in-a-generation tech wave to a very different kind of advisory business, his inventory of every nasty email he's ever received from his list, how he runs inexpensive experiments, and the relationship between death and mission.

    TSME 159: Jim Thornton

    Did you know Jim Thornton built something like a private version of Google.com's search engine using a combination of serverless code, Screaming Frog, and Neo4j? In this conversation that touches on, among other things, the marketing caste system, Jim explains why he did this and how this played into his self-made expertise journey.

A must listen if you want to attract more leads and clients!!

If you've struggled getting leads or clients, you need to get specific on what you do and who you help, and this is the podcast that will walk you through this process. It'll help you sharpen and narrow your businesses marketing & branding, crucial to any business.

Love the interview case studies. I can totally relate to the stories shared by business owners that were challenged with finding the right positioning. Listening to these really helped me apply this thinking on my own business. Has been a great help as I work through the motions of defining my own offering.

The education and value shared in this podcast is indispensable! Philip is da' man when it comes to articulating the power of positioning and the importance of quality copywriting. Kudos!

This Podcast should not be FREE!

I’ve been successfully freelancing my way for the past 15 years but Philip's podcast (and articles for that matters) makes me feel like I could greatly improve my results and successes by 10X by simply implementing his actionable tips and ideas.

The information he offers seem obvious at first but I sometimes forget then and just keep going with the flow without sticking to a plan.

The Consulting Pipeline Podcast brings me back on track and light’s me up on building a concrete system instead of chasing fluffy dreams and vague goals.

I strongly suggest you subscribe to his new Consulting Pipeline podcast.
