Ronald Sepulveda II spent close to $2,000 promoting his first public speaking event.

Only five people showed up.

Instead of only looking at the event as a failure, Ron eventually described it differently:

“I spent $2,000 for experience.”

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Ron shares how mistakes, observation, trial and error, and years of studying people helped him build Absolution Coaching LLC.

We talk about:

-Spending close to $2,000 on a speaking event

-Leaving his job on February 15, 2016

-Learning how to work for himself

-Learning sales and marketing

-and More

One of Ron's biggest lessons is that failure only becomes the end when you stop learning from it.

Ron is the founder of Absolution Coaching LLC and works as a high-end life coach for executives and high-performing individuals.

Are you an aspiring podcaster who struggles to make an impact, make a difference, or consistently put yourself out there?

Your podcast may already be helping people, but you might not be measuring the right results.

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey explains how to measure the impact your podcast is creating.

After producing 893 podcast episodes and helping 30 entrepreneurs launch their podcasts, Terryl realized that podcast success cannot be measured by revenue alone.

He shares how presentations, vendor events, customer conversations, testimonials, and podcast launches helped him see the difference his work was making.

In this episode, you will learn:

-How to create SMART goals for your podcast

-Why your impact must be documented

-How specialization helps you stand out

Many podcasters believe their podcast is not working because they are only looking at revenue, views, or immediate results.

Impact can also be measured through:

-People asking questions

-Customers sharing testimonials

-Entrepreneurs gaining confidence

This is a solo episode hosted by Terryl Humphrey, founder of Failure Is Knowledge.

Are you an aspiring podcaster who struggles with being different, unique, or special?

In this episode, Terryl Humphrey explains how to make your podcast different from the other podcasts being created.

After producing 893 podcast episodes and helping 30 entrepreneurs launch their podcasts with confidence, Terryl recognized that many podcasts use the same basic structure.

They have cameras, microphones, people, and conversations.

The difference comes from how the podcaster studies the market, applies knowledge, communicates their message, and creates a competitive advantage.

In this episode, you will learn how to:

-Study other podcasts without copying them

-Identify your competitive advantage

-Practice what you sell

Terryl also shares how one event produced $386.40, content, testimonials, behind-the-scenes footage, recorded panel discussions, and proof of concept after helping five entrepreneurs launch their podcasts in less than five minutes.

A podcast is not only about recording content.

It can help people learn about your business, build trust in your experience, understand your services, and become customers.

Your podcast should have a strategy that helps you stay visible and communicate what makes your business different.
