0:00.0	Hey, podcast, listener.
0:05.1	Even if you are alone in your entrepreneurial journey, know that today, right now in your earbuds,
0:09.7	you are joined by thousands of entrepreneurs from all around the globe seeking to grow better,
0:14.8	more profitable, location independent businesses.
0:17.8	If you'd like to learn more about what we do and download our entire back catalog,
0:22.9	check out tropical MBA.com.
0:30.7	Yeah, buddy, happy Thursday morning.
0:32.5	It's the Tropical MBA podcast.
0:35.1	We're back.
0:35.8	I'm here with the boss man all the way from California. Good sir. What's going on over in the Sunshine State? Hey man, nothing much. Just to get my day started over here. Good to hear from you. You sound peppy for the morning, buddy. You're having your tea or what's going on over there? Well, you know, a couple of things going on. Actually, we're phoning it in this week, and it's because we have a lot of
0:55.7	stuff going on. So got up early, got up really early every day this week, trying to hammer out some of the
1:01.2	things that we're working on. Hopefully we get to talk about more about our business here, Dan,

1:21.3	talk about when we get on the horn together. I mean, this stuff's really important. And I also
1:25.6	think it's really important to produce a great podcast and I don't just want to kind of whip up something. I honestly felt like last week's show was a little bit, it wasn't good. I didn't like it. I wish we could have done a better job on that because sales is a really important topic. So I think this week we want to bring back a show that we did do a really good job on. It's a show that recorded in July of 2012, and it's about the perils of personal blogging or journey blogging.
1:52.0	In fact, the kind of a blogging that a lot of online marketing experts advocate, actively advocate.
1:59.2	Like, they charge money to tell people this stuff professionally. And I want to,
2:03.9	I think this is an important counterpoint that we've brought to the community. And so I want to
2:08.8	bring it back for those of you who haven't listened to this episode. Again, it was two years ago.
