This week we're going to talk about the, we'll call it the artisans approach to podcasting.

That is figuring out a way you can find your unique voice in the marketplace,

build an entertaining and informative show that builds a location independent income for you.

This week we're going to have somebody on the show who's done it and who's in the middle of doing it. So Damien Ruse from semi-procycling.com has been producing his podcast for two years and currently makes a full-time income off of it. And just to give you some context for this interview, I just want to play for you the intro of Damien's show so you can get an idea of the energy and approach he takes.

So let's roll that clip.

That would be pretty boring, riding on the ride.

Hey, podcast listener.

You're listening to the semi-pro cycling podcast,

the weekly podcast where we discuss all the issues that cyclists talk about.

Whether you're out training, commuting, or just riding around.

Sit down and listen in because

we're about to begin. I got something to say, man. Yo-ho, welcome to episode 112 of the

semi-pro cycling podcast where we believe that only a semi-pro cyclist rides for love and not

money. If you stick around to the end, I'll fill you in on the quote from the top of the show

and let you know who would be bored riding on the road. Hey there, semi-pros. My name is Damien Ruse. I'm the founder

of semi-pro cycling, home of the semi-pro cyclist, and you can find this episode at

semiprocycling.com forward slash double. Now, we are starting with a review today. Great podcast.

Five stars.

So when I ran into Damien last week in Bangkok, I was so excited to hear about the progress.

His business and his clients and his podcasts were making. And my first thought was, I got to share this on the show because I was there at the very beginning. I heard this intro music that you just heard.

I mentioned at some point in the interview. It's just like like I thought to myself, if this guy keeps doing the show, it's going to work because the market's right, the energy is right, and this guy really knows his stuff. So if you're interested in all at podcasting, at blogging, at making a living from your own art, I think this episode's for you.
