Always Ask Why with Stacye Choate

Join Kosta and his guest: Stacye Choate, Attorney at Law and Candidate for Putnam County County Commission District 2. In this episode: Stacye, you’re officially our first candidate interview of the 2026 election cycle and the first Democrat running in a local election that we’ve ever hosted on the podcast. It’s an honor to have you, and I think the best question to start with is: why now and why the Democratic ticket? I watched your speech announcing your candidacy and something really stuck with me. You said, “Republicans do not hold the market on Christianity, I am a Christian. The teachings of Jesus call us to love our neighbor as ourselves, to show compassion, to stand with the vulnerable, and to reject hatred.” As a Christian, why do you feel there’s such harsh lines drawn for both political parties around religion? In 2025, Putnam County has zero representation from the Democratic Party. There’s not one elected official in this county with a (D) beside their name. For residents of the Upper Cumberland, that’s not hard to believe. What might surprise our listeners is in 2000, Putnam County had zero representation from the Republican Party. There were zero candidates with an (R) beside their name. How did this happen? Do you think it could happen again?

Cookeville Rescue Mission with Will Roberts

Join Kosta and his guest: Will Roberts, Executive Director of Cookeville Rescue Mission. In this episode: Most people know the Cookeville Rescue Mission in theory. They drive by the building or they see a billboard - they know it exists, but they might not know more than that. What do you wish our community knew about the work you do and the individuals who walk through your doors every day? You have a motto at CRM I love: we’ll help you do anything, but we won’t help you do nothing. What does this motto mean to you? You know both sides of this story, you’ve lived through both the struggle of addiction and the redemption of recovery. When you’re talking with someone who is where you once were, what’s the first thing you want them to know?

Breaking News with Lindsay Pride

Join Kosta and his guest: Lindsay Pride, journalist and Editor of the Herald-Citizen. In this episode: You started at the Herald Citizen in 2002 as a reporter. I want to step back in time for a moment, because the Herald-Citizen, and your career as a journalist, have drastically changed since 2002. Will you take us through a day as a reporter for the Herald-Citizen in 2002 verses a day as editor in 2025? To put it plainly, local newspapers are suffering. Wikipedia says the United States saw the loss of an average of two newspapers per week between late 2019 and May 2022. That’s astounding and heart breaking. Local journalism is the first draft of history. How can we protect local newspapers, and why should we put forward the effort to do it? The way we consume news has changed. The way we collect and report information has also changed. Our trust in the information we consume has changed. How does the Herald-Citizen not only keep, but gain the trust of readers and the community at large? Find out more about the Herald-Citizen: https://www.herald-citizen.com/ Better Together with Kosta Yepifantsev is a product of Morgan Franklin Media and recorded in Cookeville, TN.

Charting the Path with Mark Farley

Join Kosta and his guest: Mark Farley, Executive Director of UCHRA, UCDD and Core Partner of Empower UC. In this episode: Many Americans are questioning how well state and federally funded services really work for this country and if the price tag justifies the outcomes. For anyone listening and thinking, this is just more government bloat - what do you say to them? I want to talk about single parents because I know this is a part of our community you care for deeply. How is UCHRA, UCDD and EmpowerUC working to assist single parents and help to end the cycle of poverty for over 1,600 children in the Upper Cumberland? Why is it so important that we focus on these parents and kids? The median home sold price in Cookeville for February 2025 was $340,000, with 10% down that’d be about $2,000 a month with current interest rates. The median individual income as of 2023 census data was $30,400 annually. Before tax for all of us bad at math that’s $2,533 per month meaning it’s mathematically impossible for the average single parent in Cookeville to afford a home. What do we need to do to make sure the people who work here can live here?

#063: Monetizing Your Podcast Back Catalog

As podcasters we kind of have to be obsessed with what’s next. It’s way too easy to get stuck in the churn of what’s happening right now, and we have to focus on the next big guest, your next recording date, that next launch and the product you’ll have next year. That’s part of being a podcaster and business owner and being a high achiever. You always have to be looking around corners and figuring out what’s next before your competition does. It can be really hard to get out of this mindset, because it’s so critical to the success of most parts of our lives, but for most podcasters I know, that’s distracting you from the treasure trove of what you’ve already created. In this episode we’re talking about why your back catalog matters, organizing your archive, repurposing, and how to effectively market your past episodes for the future growth of your podcast. 👋🏼 Want to sell a digital product but you don't know what to make?Use my free tool that sends you 10 ideas made for YOUR podcast:https://form.jotform.com/Morgan_Franklin/podcast-digital-product 📌 Book Your 1:1 Podcast Strategy Call:https://morganfranklin.media/contact-morgan-franklin 👩🏻‍💻 Shop My Podcast Template Store:https://podcastsforprofit.com 📥 Download 4 FREE ChatGPT prompts for podcasters and listen to the episode on how to use them here:https://morganfranklin.media/podschool-steal-my-4-favorite-chatgpt-prompts-for-podcasting ✨ Let's connect!

#040: PodSchool: The Podcaster's Guide to Making and Selling Your First Digital Product

When I think about the most impactful and accessible ways for podcasters to make money from podcasting, especially within the first year, it’s having a digital product. Most of the time your first digital product can be created with minimal time and limited overhead. The biggest question is, what are you going to make and how are you going to sell it? In this episode we’ll work through these two specific questions: what kind of digital product will you create? (What could that look like for you and your podcast?) Then how will you sell it? (How can you take this idea and actually turn it into a product your audience wants to buy?) 👋🏼 Want to sell a digital product but you don't know what to make?Use my free tool that sends you 10 ideas made for YOUR podcast:https://form.jotform.com/Morgan_Franklin/podcast-digital-product 📌 Work with Me 1:1 for Podcast Coaching and Development:https://morganfranklin.media/contact-morgan-franklin 👩🏻‍💻 Shop My Podcast Template Store:https://podcastsforprofit.com 👋🏽 Let's connect!
