Summary

#1243 Often we create excuses for ourselves to mask the fear that’s actually holding us back. Azreer Gill lives in Cambridge Bay, Canada. He’s within the Arctic Circle, and, as you can imagine, that comes with some challenges. But are these obstacles a legitimate reason not to start a business that could save lives? Like many people in his community, Azreer has struggled with addiction. He is now seven years sober and wants to help people by sharing his recovery story, but he needs a push to get started. We discuss why podcasting is the perfect medium for him and how he can use it to build a targeted audience. Azreer does stand-up, so he’s already a great storyteller. When we use our experiences and define a problem better than our listeners, it’s natural for them to come to us for solutions. This episode is a great reminder to look under the hood and understand the source of your limiting beliefs. Show notes and more at SmartPassiveIncome.com/ap1243.

0:13.5	Welcome to episode 1,243 of Ask Pat 2.0.
0:18.5	You're about to listen to a conversation between myself and an entrepreneur just
0:22.2	like you, or at least somebody who really wants to get started in entrepreneurship and has a few
0:27.3	hurdles in the way, namely, they literally live like in the Arctic region, the high Arctic circle.
0:34.3	So internet connection is not super great and that kind of thing. And upload speeds
0:38.5	are very, very slow. And it was kind of a miracle that we were able to get on a call. But
0:43.7	Azrear, Gil, who you can find on Instagram at Azir, A-Z-R-E-E-R, he doesn't have a website yet or a podcast,
0:52.2	but he wants to start one. And he's also a stand-up performer,
0:55.7	and he wants to represent his culture and talk about some of these things that are very difficult
0:59.7	in the culture that he's in using a podcast, but isn't quite sure how to do that with the little
1:05.0	things he has access to as far as creation. So I dive specifically into a lot of Azrera's limiting beliefs here in this
1:13.0	episode. And this might be an episode that you can relate to as well, even though you're not
1:16.4	necessarily living in the high Arctic and serving the public in the way that he has. I mean,
1:21.9	he's doing some amazingly noteworthy work up there. But I think we all can relate to finding things that we believe are
1:28.9	in our way or excuses, if you will, to not do certain things, things that would be, that would make
1:34.2	it very difficult to do the things that perhaps are where we want to go. And I dive into that today
