Forget becoming an influencer.

This podcast is for people searching for a simpler way to make more money, help more people, and have more freedom.

No matter who you are and no matter what you sell, your customer is a human. And yet, marketing these days feels so (in)human.

Filled with frameworks, entertaining stories, and admittedly bad-Dad jokes, The Obvious Choice is a much-needed recalibration and, at times, a refreshing slap for a business generation that’s lost its way.

New episodes ship out Mondays and Wednesdays, along with short, business hotseats every Friday.

    190 | Jaidree Braddix - Choosing Your Book Publishing Path

    Writing a book is a beast of a project.
    If you've been thinking about it, you probably have a ton of questions and even pieced together some answers from other authors and marketing agencies.
    You don't often hear answers from a true expert - a literary agent. 
    How to find an agent if you want to traditionally publish The 3-part framework to decide if you should write a book Deciding to self-publish versus traditionally publish your book This interview is a recording from the Obvious Choice Business Summit.

GREAT Content

I love this podcast! As I’m new to the personal training world, I first found Jonathan’s Ignite the Fire and now I’m devouring every episode of this podcast. Your emphasis on character and compassion for your clients is what makes you stand out from all the get-rich-quick garbage I see everywhere. Thank you for producing a quality podcast!

I listen every week and learn so much n

Thank you for this incredible podcast and for sharing all your wisdom with us!

All 3 of them

I love this podcast. This kind of chemistry and ability of all the hosts to add so much value is rare. Would love to hang out with them and having them in my ear while cooking is the next best thing. Having been in this industry for a long time I also appreciate how Jonathan stays ahead of the industry by a few steps and is always looking to give back and bring people with him. Long time fan since the Ignite the Fire days, got the book in 2013 or 2014. Anyway thanks for what you do!
