Moon Door’s Next Steps
If you had a chance to read my previous post about why I started down this path. Stop everything and read it!!! Just kidding, to recap, I love making music and movies and I am extremely fortunate to be able to have a space and equipment to create music and video. This post is about the next steps and turning the hobby into a business.
My dad was set to retire end of 2019. So for a gift I surprised him with some equipment for we can start our Los Angeles Rams Podcast, Turn Your Head & Goff. It was perfect, a great chance for my dad and I to connect and be able to talk on a weekly basis. It was also a way to keep my dad engaged and creative. Apparently it is hard for some people to not work, I don’t have that problem if I could retire today and just have fun in the studio all day, I would! So when this was decided in my head I moved forward with it. Then I was having a conversation with my trainer that really changed my scope and thinking.
After talking about the Podcast idea with my dad, Brandon my trainer had mentioned to me that him and a few other trainers wanted to do a Podcast about fitness. It was something hey had been talking about for a long time. So I mentioned to him that I have the space and I would be more than willing to help them record and get their Podcast out to the world. Now, I am going to tell you I’m a pretty serious guy in the sense when I dive in, I DIVE IN! Typically, people get hyped but it falls apart. I will say these guys have been just as committed as I have been.
We had a kick off meeting. I explained to them my Podcasting experiences (I did a video game podcast years ago). These guys had notes, had vision and were ready to go! Of that came the RAMP Fitness Podcast.
This was perfect for me because I would work the boards, get them sounding good. Basically doing the stuff I love and the best part I don’t have to say anything!
So now I participate in two Podcasts, making websites for Turn Your Head & Goff. At the same time, while I really do like my day job, it was no longer challenging me and I needed something more. So I decided it wasn’t enough to just to have this fun place to make things, I needed to supplement the challenge I was lacking at work and apply that to starting my own business. Now starts another fun journey, learning how to start and operate a business.
Hopefully your will join me on this adventure. Also, as new content gets created whether that is a Podcast or music (something is coming in 2020), I want to share the process with you. Ultimately I don’t know if I am going to open the studio up to the public or keep it very tight and just have very selective clients. I do want this to be a forum for myself and you, I want to share my successes and also the failures as I move forward. Even if you don’t like the content I am a part of, I am hoping we can all learn together.
