bevy fire nation that's be the Y and as I mentioned in the intro ducsion we're going to talk today about how to make a full time income connecting people now during the introduction day I also talked a little bit about BC stack I talked a little bit about the podcasters kits let's focus today on BC stack how did that concept how did that idea come about what the time this was where you're seven so at the time

we were we were mostly doing workshops we did workshops all around the world we did 14 in New Zealand we were all over Canada over the United States

and our goal was you know you know I'm married to Rachel Martin she runs finding joy dot net she's full time blogger was making a full time income there so we were running these workshops about how to turn your craft how to turn your your hobby how to turn your passion do a career

and we were pretty much focusing on bloggers and podcasters and a little bit of vloggers but you know blogging has got some stuff to it that's a little bit outside the scope yeah when we were in zealot once I had mentioned to get a revener truck

and a couple of the people in the room hadn't heard that name before and to me I thought at least I had this this idea in my head that Facebook and internet were this great equalizer

and if you were famous online you were famous online in our sphere were wherever we were working so we when we got on the plane on the way back we were talking about how could it be that some of our experts here are unknown there

and is it possible and as we learned a lot of the experts there we had we hadn't heard of before we hadn't come across their products or what they do

and even went further than that even helping people out I was surprised how many WordPress plugins they were using that I'd never heard of and they weren't using the simple ones that everyone here uses

so to me it seemed like hey here's an opportunity like what if we introduced all of the experts we knew to the audience that we just amassed

and then vice versa what if we introduced the audience abroad or the experts there to our audience at home that was kind of the idea that started the whole thing is maybe the Facebook and the internet aren't the great equalizer

and there's a chance to create an entirely new audience from people that never would have heard of you even though you're everywhere online

you know even your Fira Instagram and Facebook and Twitter there's still a huge swath of people who just don't know who you are

so that's when we decided all right that's what we're going to do we're going to create this product that connects people

we're going to connect experts to an audience and an audience to experts and that was kind of the basis of how the whole concept of BC stack came about

and I love the evolution fire nation of this story because this is what Dan did he identified a problem he identified a void in the marketplace he identified a problem that wasn't being solved he identified some arbitrage

and he made things happen and you were able to turn it Dan into a win-win which is what I love I love talking about win-win

so let's focus on that how specifically does BC stack end up being a win-win opportunity for everybody involved
