#3 - Embracing Mentorship: Padcast Studios' Journey to Marketing Mastery · Brandon Fogal Evolution

• 0:00
  Hey, what's up everyone? This is Brandon Fogle with Padcast Studios.
• 0:03
  I wanted to share with you a moment that happened today in the documenting phase
• 0:07
  of this as we grow this business, Padcast Studios, and get everything up and running and rolling.
• 0:13
  And so today we are going under a mentorship that I thought would be very useful
• 0:18
  in us knowing the ins and outs of the arm of our business, which is going to be marketing.
• 0:24
  We are going to be a marketing agency and just handling other businesses' accounts
• 0:30
  and social media and brand awareness and all that.
• 0:32
  I knew that that was going to be a very key feature that we are going to be
• 0:37
  able to promote and help other entrepreneurs and businesses alike in growing
• 0:41
  their business and bringing on new clients and all that.
• 0:44
  So we are going under a mentorship. So it's a joining a mentorship program where
• 0:49
  we are able to learn some things that along the way that I know that if we didn't down the road,
• 0:56
  we're going to wish that we had basically to have that fast forward upload of
• 1:01
  content that's just in information and just things that people have already
• 1:06
  gone through so that we do not have to learn the hard way that will help us in that element of it.
• 1:11
  So we We are doing that and I will share with you how it goes and the process of it.
• 1:18
  So the person, it's a very well-known individual who runs this marketing,
• 1:24
  like kind of helping people get their businesses up and running and get them
• 1:28
  in a good spot and teaching them all the information and stuff that he has learned
• 1:34
  along the way. His name is Adam Earhart.
• 1:37
  So he's a person that I follow, I subscribe to on YouTube and he's on a number
• 1:44
  of other platforms as well, but very knowledgeable.
• 1:47
  He has a lot of good information. You should check him out. And he has a whole
• 1:51
  program set up that it can help businesses,
• 1:54
  specifically that are people that want to create and build a marketing agency,
• 2:00
  how to get it going, and the stuff that he's gone through that.
• 2:06
  He wished that maybe he would have known early on. He's teaching that and showing
• 2:10
  it to other people so that they can kind of get that momentum and fast forward
• 2:14
  in growing their business.
• 2:16
  I'll share how everything goes and all that.
• 2:19
  And I know I'm really excited about it. I know it's going to be a very useful
• 2:23
  and very high-level informational teaching series that I'm going to go through,
• 2:30
  as well as other people that are on my team here at Padcast Studios.
• 2:35
  Studios another thing i the arm in
• 2:39
  a branch of my business podcast studios that will
• 2:42
  be for marketing it will be under the banner of podcast marketing i thought
• 2:46
  that might be more clearly defined as opposed to being also podcast studios
• 2:52
  podcast studios will be the main overall overarching parent company if you will
• 2:56
  but there will be a number of kind of businesses within it and podcast
• 3:01
  marketing will be the brand for the marketing aspect of our business.
• 3:07
  So there's going to be a lot of new things to come and I'm going to keep documenting
• 3:11
  and giving you this information just so you can see it.
• 3:15
  I mean, so people that are doing this type of thing as well,
• 3:17
  I mean, it's not where one person can like, oh, we got to, I have to own this
• 3:23
  space and I have to take over.
• 3:25
  No, there's a lot of, there's collaboration and everything that we do and And
• 3:28
  there's ways and being smart about it and doing it that way as opposed to just
• 3:32
  all being about competitive.
• 3:34
  I have to – because it's just a whole mind shift that you got to have –.
• 3:41
  This isn't about me, but how am I going to do what I'm doing to serve and help others?
• 3:46
  And if I'm doing that, everything will come back to me a hundredfold.
• 3:51
  So I always got to reorient my mind as opposed to just trying to take,
• 3:56
  take, take, and trying to take from others and everything like that.
• 3:59
  But how can I take what I have and make it useful and beneficial to people that
• 4:05
  are out there, as well as other business owners, as well as other entrepreneurs
• 4:09
  that are wanting to do the same thing.
• 4:11
  So like I say in other videos, if you can even take just the things that I go
• 4:18
  through and see that maybe that's not the best way to go about it,
• 4:20
  maybe if it can still be helpful and beneficial to you, then I've won in that aspect.
• 4:25
  So I want in any way to provide you good stuff and they can help you in your
• 4:29
  personal life as well as your business life in all aspects of your life.
• 4:33
  So I'm going to be sharing these things.
• 4:35
  So another thing, Let me actually switch to my screen so you can see this.
• 4:38
  So you can see this person, Adam Earhart.
• 4:41
  I listened to him. You should check
• 4:43
  him out. You should go to his page and subscribe to him. He's awesome.
• 4:48
  And he's actually the person that led me to understanding and knowing about
• 4:52
  this technology that's out there for people that are in this kind of world of
• 4:57
  marketing and helping to build their own brand awareness,
• 5:01
  but also to help other businesses do the same thing.
• 5:04
  And he actually is the one who introduced me to this technology software system.
• 5:09
  It's a mammoth of a software system.
• 5:12
  It's, or is it a mammoth or a behemoth? I don't even know. Something,
• 5:16
  it's big. It's really, and it's really cool. It has a,
• 5:19
  Man, that sounds so professional. It's really cool. It is cool.
• 5:22
  I know. I got to keep my professionalness on, even though you do see I am just
• 5:26
  wearing a hat and a t-shirt.
• 5:28
  I'm not the most professional guy, but I will try to get that way.
• 5:32
  And professionalism, I mean, while we're on that topic, just itself,
• 5:37
  I think of it as, to me, it always gave a bad taste in my mouth.
• 5:40
  But really, it's just if you give that appearance of professionalism and it
• 5:46
  becomes a part of you so that people that know and see that you are competent
• 5:50
  and know what you are doing.
• 5:52
  And that's the mind shift. I just always had a bad taste in my mouth because
• 5:56
  it was always business and it did not seem personal.
• 6:01
  And I never liked it because I'm a person that is just, I don't like that whole
• 6:06
  shift from business to personal.
• 6:08
  I'm this way in this setting and I'm this way in that setting.
• 6:12
  I just never liked that. But I had to reorient my mind to think about it is
• 6:18
  not just about being business and having that aura and that you give that impression to other people.
• 6:24
  But also it just shows that people see it as you know what you're doing.
• 6:28
  You're able to be efficient and competent at what you're doing.
• 6:32
  So that is why I am going towards that direction.
• 6:36
  And I am trying to strive towards professionalism. But make professionalism
• 6:41
  in a fun way. It doesn't have to be boring and rigid and just stale and dry
• 6:46
  and all that kind of stuff.
• 6:47
  It can be good and fun, you know?
• 6:49
  And it doesn't have to be that you have two faces, you know?
• 6:53
  Professionalism and your personal
• 6:55
  who you are, you know, they can be all wrapped up in one, you know?
• 7:00
  I know. There I am on my soapbox, you know?
• 7:03
  And I try to reserve, I know I try to reserve kind of just that personal aspect
• 7:07
  of it for my regular channel. But, you know, there's going to be a lot of bleed
• 7:11
  through, you know, that it's kind of.
• 7:14
  I am who I am. So it's going to come out in this business arena as well.
• 7:18
  You're going to see me as I am. So might as well kind of open the doors,
• 7:23
  you know, so you can see it.
• 7:24
  But as you can see this, I'm showing his page.
• 7:27
  This is his YouTube channel. His name's Adam Earhart.
• 7:29
  We actually got signed up for his program today and it's, I'm really excited
• 7:34
  about it, but basically it's to get you so you can have, you can have the knowledge
• 7:39
  as well as just have things put in place so that your business can kind of skyrocket and take off.
• 7:44
  It is not something, just a get rich quick kind of thing at all.
• 7:49
  It's not that whatsoever.
• 7:50
  It's basically, you still got, you have to put the work in, you have to learn
• 7:54
  the business, learn the ins and outs that he's kind of, the hard knocks that
• 7:58
  he's went through in his own business.
• 8:00
  And he's open and authentic and real about it. He tells you as it is.
• 8:05
  So I would just definitely promote him.
• 8:09
  He's a really really good resource to go to, if none other, just to watch his
• 8:13
  videos and listen to his content.
• 8:15
  But we have signed up and we are joining his, it's called his Accelerator Program for Businesses.
• 8:20
  And I'm really pumped and excited about it. I'll definitely share with you how
• 8:24
  things go, but just wanted to put that out there.
• 8:27
  But like I mentioned, high level is that marketing kind of platform software
• 8:33
  that people can use. It's very useful.
• 8:36
  And it is ginormous. I'll
• 8:39
  actually kind of just show you my page as well just so you
• 8:41
  can this is it's not only something
• 8:44
  you can use for your own business it's definitely that part of
• 8:47
  it but it's also that you can help and once you
• 8:50
  know it and know it extremely well you
• 8:53
  can use it for other businesses so we are in the process of gaining our knowledge
• 8:58
  of everything of the whole ins and outs of it so but it's it's really cool so
• 9:04
  you can manage your own business as well as another a number of other businesses
• 9:08
  out there. So you should check out High Level as well.
• 9:11
  So I am not affiliated with them, but eventually I probably will be.
• 9:15
  But like right now, it's just, I would just put that out there.
• 9:17
  High Level, it's a really good software.
• 9:20
  And just the short little bit that I know so far, but there's so much to take
• 9:25
  away from it and so much that can be useful for you. And I know I'm just kind
• 9:29
  of just showing you my screen.
• 9:30
  As I get going and I figure out all the more depths of it, I think people get
• 9:36
  into it, and that's why they have so many trainings and courses over how to
• 9:40
  utilize it to its max capacity.
• 9:42
  And that's why there's people out there like that, Adam, and there's a number of other people.
• 9:48
  And I've noticed just in my YouTube feed, it's just like pouring in of – actually,
• 9:53
  I'll get off of there. Maybe I can go over something else.
• 9:55
  Yeah, there's the courses. But in my YouTube feed, just since I'm watching all
• 9:59
  these things about high level and all these different –.
• 10:02
  Marketing software is out there. I think high level is extremely well,
• 10:06
  but I will give you kind of my take on it as I go along.
• 10:09
  And as we kind of progress as our business, I wanted to try to keep these short
• 10:13
  and sweet just but to give you a quick snippet or snapshot of where we are at as a business.
• 10:19
  And this will go on my podcast, the brand of focal show, I'm going to be putting that out there as well.
• 10:24
  It won't be a technically an episode, but it will be a bonus feature for you all out there.
• 10:29
  So you can kind of just hear where we are at and all that, all that jazz might
• 10:34
  as well switch to my, to my luscious website, just so you can get a taste of that.
• 10:39
  But yeah, this, that bad boy is going to be, it's going to be pumped up,
• 10:42
  you know, pumped up and rocking and rolling and juiced up, you know,
• 10:46
  just juice it up, you know, and that's, but right now it's, it's kind of,
• 10:49
  it's kind of a shell of itself, but it's gonna, it's gonna boost,
• 10:52
  you know, just get ready for it. Just get ready.
• 10:55
  You got to take little steps at a time. You don't want to get ahead of yourself.
• 10:58
  You don't want to put the cart ahead of the horse, you know?
• 11:00
  So I just want, I hope these videos kind of give you an idea of where the business is at.
• 11:06
  So you're familiar with it. And so hopefully we can basically connect and do more.
• 11:11
  We could maybe collaborate on things as well as maybe help each other,
• 11:16
  you know, serve each other in some form or fashion.
• 11:18
  I will eventually get to where there is ways to contact me. I know I really
• 11:22
  don't have that all set up yet, but we're getting there.
• 11:26
  So I'll leave it at that. I hope you all have a wonderful day and I'll see you on the next one.
