We’re in the midst of an unprecedented time in our economy with the corona virus and covid-19 putting us in lockdown and shutting the doors of countless businesses. We don’t know exactly where this thing is going but we thought it was a great chance to talk about getting scrappy when times are tough and how to survive this downturn.

We’re two months into the new year and hopefully you’ve been able to stay with new year resolutions or business practices you put into place this year. But it’s easy to fall back into old habits if you don’t have good systems in place. John and I just recently got back from Workbench Con where we did a presentation on business systems and we want to share that with you if you weren’t able to make it. And today it’s going to be all about scheduling your time and managing your e-mail and documents.

We’re stoked about today’s guest who honestly shared some of what I think is the most valuable content we’ve had to date. Tim Schmoyer is one of the premier YouTube experts, but the knowledge you’ll get in this episode goes way past YouTube. He talks about finding your perfect customer, weaving your brand story, and finding and filling the needs of your customers. You’re gonna love this one.



Since 2011, Tim Schmoyer has been one of the leading YouTube strategists in the online video industry. His company, Video Creators, has been featured by FOX, Forbes, BBC even YouTube themselves as his team trains creators and brands to master YouTube and use it as a place to spread messages that change lives. Their clients have organically grown by over 14 billion views and 61 millions subscribers under their guidance. Today he lives in Cincinnati, Ohio, with his wife and seven children.

Welcome to 2020!  We're teaching a class at WorkbenchCon this year and one of you will get a chance to attend for free!  Well at least get the ticket for free.  You'll still have to cover travel, lodging and Bud Lights.  Enter down below and if you are a current or former Patron be sure to click on the bonus entry.  If you aren't then don't do it...you've been warned ;)

Whew...2019 has been a whirlwind of awesome opportunities and new beginnings for John and I. The biggest of course was John getting married, but also this year my wife Susan came on full time with FTBT. John brought on his full time editor, Sam, and we’ve both take on loads of new work and opportunities that have had us travelling and getting involved in new business planning ideas. On top of that John is going through a full house remodel and looking at buying another property. Yeah, lots of stuff. So basically what I’m getting at here is we need a break. We’ve got 6 or 7 weeks left in the year and we need to finish strong. But don’t worry, we’ll be back in 2020. Things may look a little different then, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.
