Optimistic Entrepreneur! This Podcast is focused on you the Optimistic Entrepreneur This short introduction explains how my podcasts have evolved and why I have now launched my third Podcast, the Optimistic Entrepreneur Podcast! I started out with &quot;A Conversation with the Six Minute Strategist&quot; which was a great excuse to speak to lots of interesting people that I knew and to get them to share great information. &amp;nbsp;I really enjoyed it but there were two problems. &amp;nbsp;It did not really have any focus and secondly it did not tell you who it was for - it sounded like it was all about me. Then my Online Learning Podcast, almost went the other way. &amp;nbsp;Too focused. &amp;nbsp;Again great fun and amazing guests but very Udemy centric which meant that I was spending my time promoting some one else's brand. &amp;nbsp;Duh! Optimistic Entrepreneur So now, my new brand is the Optimistic Entrepreneur - and that is you! &amp;nbsp;I want to find people who will provide great ideas, tactics, tips and stories to make you even more successful! In my first few episodes, you are going to hear quite a lot about equity crowdfunding as I am in the middle of a campaign and it seems to be a great idea to give you a view from the trenches, so to speak. Watch out for some great Episodes coming very soon with some great interviews with Entrepreneurs, just like you! Engage with Me! I would love to hear from you! What topics would you like me to cover? Perhaps you know someone who would be a great guest on the show? &amp;nbsp;Maybe that is you? &amp;nbsp;Reach out and let me know: john[at]jbdcolley.com. I like to try to record interviews in video as well as in audio so that the interview can reach a wider audience but this does not have to be the case for every episode. So if you have something to say, let me know! &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"The Online Learning Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/jbdcolley.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/5481719\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/content\/15785342"}
