Wow, it has been six months since I’ve recorded an episode of the RV Entrepreneur podcast.
I’ve missed this present a lot. And also you.
Earlier this yr when COVID-19 shook issues up I made a decision to take a break from the present. It was form of the right storm with us having to cancel our convention in every week and take care of what felt like a heavy state of affairs. After which one week was two after which someway was six months.
After some time, I wasn’t positive if I used to be going to carry the present again. I believed possibly it had run its course.
Alyssa saved encouraging me to no less than pop again on the podcast to launch the final couple of episodes that I had already recorded earlier this yr. I saved pushing it off as a result of, to be sincere, I didn’t know if I used to be executed with the present or if I used to be able to let it go. This podcast has meant a lot to me over the previous few years because it began.
However what introduced me again was… you.
Over the previous couple of months, I’ve had increasingly more individuals attain out, asking if the podcast was going to return again. I had one girl inform me about how she used to take heed to the present together with her late husband earlier than they began touring and the way a lot the podcast meant to her. I heard tales of how this present helped individuals make an enormous change in hitting the street or beginning a enterprise.
Listening to these tales and having you guys touch upon the iTunes itemizing and ask when the present was coming again and electronic mail or tweet or Instagram message us was the tipping level for me to return again on the RV Entrepreneur.
And the plan isn’t simply to return again on the podcast to launch the ultimate episodes that I recorded earlier this yr, however for the present to only come again. Interval.
Thanks a lot for listening and being wonderful.
Right now’s episode is extra of an replace than a full-on episode, the primary function being to share that the podcast is coming again!
However I did wish to share slightly replace of what has occurred this yr after I give up recording and what will likely be developing in future episodes.
As I discussed in the beginning of the present, the height of COVID hit this yr a couple of days earlier than Alyssa and I placed on our 4th annual RV Entrepreneur Summit. Within the second we needed to scramble and determine to both cancel and postpone our occasion or transfer it to a web based summit in lower than 4 days.
In April we confronted tornados within the south and felt displaced with quite a lot of different full-time RVers who had been attempting to navigate the place it was okay to journey to or the right way to keep put when many parks had been shutting down.
This summer time after restrictions loosened, we spent a number of months looking to purchase a campground in Colorado, taking a look at 10 completely different properties on the market to transform to an superior place for different RV entrepreneurs.
After which most lately, I made a decision to throw my title into the hat for an funding pitch sequence occurring on the western slope in Colorado for $250k in seed funding for our software program firm, Campground Reserving. By no means having participated in a pitch sequence earlier than I actually had no thought how this complete expertise was going to go…
Within the subsequent few episodes, I’m going to share what occurred with our convention, campground search, and the funding sequence. Some information is nice and different information is… properly, I suppose you’ll simply need to see within the upcoming episodes.
The upcoming sequence is supposed to focus on a few of our experiences this yr in journey and enterprise after which I’ll get again to some superior interviews I’ve lined up with some unbelievable firms within the RV area — just like the founders of TheDyrt and a high-end luxurious RV resort and a few wonderful RVers who share their tales of constructing companies on the street.
It’s good to be again and I’ll see you on the subsequent episode of the RV Entrepreneur podcast. 🙂
