Last week I announced that I was changing up my show, this show, The Business Podcast to focus more on me and my skills. I wrote an open letter than you can check out here. That podcast episode, youtube video and blog post went viral among podcasters. It was shared among many circles and podcast news groups. I received lots of mostly positive feedback about my new strategy to change my show and filter through guests looking for self promotion through my platform. Let's talk about how to take a step back in business so you can move forward.
On this week's episode I want to talk about how I took some of that feedback and incorporated into my changes. We can get so wrapped up in our big changes that sometimes we aren't able to take a step back and appreciate the feedback. How to take a step back in business and allow yourself to see that a step backwards is actually what you need to take a step forward.
I also want to talk about the change to my studio and why (I think you'll like the answer). Here is a one word hint: play.
Also, I want to hear from you on how you have made changes in your business and were able to take a step back.

all right let's talk about how my office
is now different it's not I being in my
office for five years it was time to
give it up to be a playroom that rooms
not done yet and I will show you what
that looks like when it's done
but let's get into it welcome everybody
to big business podcast featuring me
super Joe Pardo and today I will talk
about the letter that I wrote last week
and how that relates to taking a step
back in your business to reflect and to
make a decision on whether or not
something is a good or a great idea when
I wrote that letter last week I didn't I
mean I knew that there was gonna be some
pushback um for the most part there
wasn't a whole lot of pushback in fact I
got quite a few letters and messages and
people that wrote out to me saying hey I
really appreciate what you've done Joe
um not just for for for you but for
podcasting as a whole you know and then
the pushback that I got was like oh well
that sponsored content and that's no
good and and I just want to address that
real quick my show my business model has
very little to do with whether or not
I'm I'm being paid to do sponsored
interviews now I say sponsored last week
and I talked about it being promote like
a promotion fee I've changed that I
treat that a little bit it's just you're
sponsoring the episode by sponsoring the
episode you're sponsoring the show and
by sponsoring the show you're supporting
the show and and you're able like it
helps make up some of the time that it
takes to put this show together so I
think that when you're when you're
trying to do something that's so
radically different now not to say there
aren't other people out there doing what
I have already put forward
there are and there are some people
doing it really really well apparently
um but there's not many right so so by
and large people think that everything
has to be if I had some people that say
oh well if you're not gonna do
interviews what are you podcasting for I
mean like well I'm wearing a map con
shirt right now middle and podcast
conference go check it out it's in
September um if podcasting doesn't have
to be you know an interview based show
it's funny because when I got started
the only shows I knew of or Disney base
roundtable discussion shows that once in
a while would have an interview on with
a special guest or something to that
effect so I when you were trying to
decide for your business whether or not
you should be open and honest about it
