Dreamster Podcast Brandon B.R.

Welcome to the first episode of the Dreamster Podcast! This show is the (very honest) story of me--Brandon Beeyard--chasing my lifelong dream of becoming a broadcaster and producer. The only catch is: after a decade of working in other careers, I’m starting over at age 35. Is it too late for me? I don’t think so. (At least I hope not.) No matter what your dream is, I hope the lessons I’ve learned will help you.
In this episode I quit my soul-crushing job at a financial firm’s cubicle farm with no plan and no prospects. I attempt to become a YouTube star and put a lot of pressure on myself. I wrestle with the darkness and self doubts. I talk about how “The Price is Right” shaped my life, and I get arrested!

Welcome to Episode 2 of the Dreamster Podcast! In this episode, we introduce some outside voices into the show and talk with online entrepreneurs who have successfully built businesses that support the unique lifestyle they want, some of which are very lucrative.
I talk about my brief time in jail and how being “grounded from life” for a year resulted in launching my first online business and how the principles of lifestyle design apply today. Can you launch an online media business (or whatever your dream is) and run it from anywhere? Let’s talk about it. Finally, I escape Jacksonville and move to my dream city, where I still reside.

It's about the opportunities that exist now and what the future holds for the next generation of performers, producers, and content creators. Basically we're going to talk about how to be famous in the digital era. Also in this episode, I talk about my time working as an intern for "The Late Show with David Letterman" and how that experience living and working in New York altered the trajectory of my life in a massive way. 
I interview award-winning veteran anchorman Scott Walker, and we talk about the realities of working in the "old" media, what the future of media looks like, and how a viral video brought him some unexpected fame--"show me the gold!"

Are you interested in being a media maven of the 21st century? Then you will definitely want to listen to this second chapter in our two-part series on how to be famous in the “New Showbiz.” In the previous episode we talked about the old showbiz vs. the New Showbiz, and we looked at the opportunities that exist for content creators today. In this episode, we talk about the specific mindsets, strategies, and tactics needed to build a successful online media platform today. This episode is a different from the rest. It’s focused on becoming a star and it’s more information packed than usual. When Brandon refers to “becoming a star,” he doesn’t mean fame for fame’s sake. He means making a valuable contribution to the world through your unique gifts and scaling it up.  
(IMPORTANT: If being a star online is your goal, I highly encourage you to check out the premium, full-length version of this episode for free at https://dreamstermedia.com/NewShowbiz.)
If stardom isn’t your thing, this episode still has valuable information for anyone looking to make a living online.

Far too often we let our family, friends, and society discourage us from doing the very thing that would make us the happiest. Usually our loved ones have good intentions, but as Chris Guillebeau says, you can’t ignore your dreams for very long without letting them die. This episode is all about dream killers--the people, thought patterns, and norms that try to crush our dreams. We'll talk about where these things come from, the role they play in our lives, and how to conquer them.
Also in this episode, Brandon had finally broken free of Jacksonville and moved to New Orleans. He may have arrived at his dream city, but the dream life had never been farther away.
