Did You Miss This:

In the last episode, Ep60 we spoke with wellness entrepreneur Greg Zuffelato about how he broke into the fitness industry from being a minister and leadership trainer.  Greg dropped a ton of knowledge about everything from selling corporate fitness to creating his own health bar.

About My Amazing Guest

Start with the problem you want to solve and great things can come from it.  That's what happened when software architect my next guest Hani Mourra did when he stepped up to work with online marketer Sean Malarkey know for the Money Pillow Podcast and Linked influence to edit some video for him at no charge.

Hani was already making online video but there was something missing in the process.  When he discovered what that missing component was he developed software to provide the solution.  Then he gave that solution to Sean and Simple Video press was born.  Hani has now created Simple Podcast Press to solve a similar issue for podcasters.

Here are the highlights of my conversation with Hani:

  • [spp-timestamp time="6:31"] Hani shares how his blogs about video got him to create a video software which triggered the birth of Simple Video Press. His aim was to make life easier for anyone who uploads to YouTube.

  • [spp-timestamp time="12:22"] Hani talks about the importance of feedback from your customers or even potential customers.  He describes his system and how he used an existing email list, beta testers and a list of questions when developing Simple Podcast Press.
  • [spp-timestamp time="16:00"] Hani explains the incredible timing of being the first person out of a group 30 or so to say yes to Sean Malarkey’s Facebook message to edit a video. Find out how this "Yes" changed Hani's life.
  • [spp-timestamp time="26:00 "]The biggest mistakes podcasters make during their launch.
