USA and hot number one new release on Amazon in

26
00:01:53.680 --> 00:01:59.000

27

And I want an These books are available worldwide and

29
00:02:05.480 --> 00:02:07.760
go and buy these two books and give me an
30
00:02:07.799 --> 00:02:12.439
honest review. And also this show is syndicated worldwide to
31
00:02:12.639 --> 00:02:17.840
three hundred million listeners, and so please go and sponsor
32
00:02:17.960 --> 00:02:21.560
my show. And today I have a very very interesting guest,
33
00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:25.439
a guy you know who I didn't know. I haven't
34
00:02:25.520 --> 00:02:29.280
met him in person, only virtual talks and all. But
35
00:02:29.400 --> 00:02:32.400
he is the producer of this show of Talk four
36
00:02:32.439 --> 00:02:36.080
Media and I buy time from him, so and I
37
00:02:36.199 --> 00:02:40.199
want to bring him in. And many many hiccups came
38
00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:43.919
in my radio and TV show, but he did not
39
00:02:44.400 --> 00:02:48.759
back off, you know, from giving me this chance. And
40
00:02:48.800 --> 00:02:51.560
I really love him. I have never met him. He's
41
00:02:51.680 --> 00:02:55.759
like my older brother who gives me insights. He taught me,
42
00:02:55.919 --> 00:02:59.280
you know, free of cost, how to manage this all
43
00:02:59.639 --> 00:03:02.800
and everything, and I really love him. And here I
44
00:03:02.879 --> 00:03:06.759
introduced world famous producer Bean Piper.
45
00:03:07.280 --> 00:03:09.439
Well, Hello, Sean, how are you?
46
00:03:10.000 --> 00:03:12.879
I'm fine, And I have to say I love all
47
00:03:12.919 --> 00:03:15.919
the words you said, except old older.
48
00:03:16.400 --> 00:03:19.719
Okay, I might be the younger brother. Now I'm just kidding.
49
00:03:22.400 --> 00:03:25.080
So I'm glad to be on your show here.
50
00:03:25.520 --> 00:03:27.919
So just tell a little bit that how this talk
51
00:03:28.000 --> 00:03:31.800
for media, you know, came into existence, and what were
52
00:03:31.919 --> 00:03:35.599
your hiccups and what is your experience because many people
53
00:03:35.759 --> 00:03:38.199
like me. Also, if I want to set up a
54
00:03:38.280 --> 00:03:41.840
radio station, what should I look into? Because you own
55
00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:46.120
so many radio stations. So how did this all opportunity
56
00:03:46.240 --> 00:03:48.520
came about? And what are your next plans?
57
00:03:48.879 --> 00:03:52.120
So it came started with vision.
58
00:03:52.599 --> 00:03:55.120
I used to be very big in the investment in
59
00:03:55.240 --> 00:03:57.960
insurance business, and I used to be like you and
60
00:03:58.000 --> 00:04:02.520
buy time to do radio sh and also as a
61
00:04:02.560 --> 00:04:06.879
motivational speaker. You know, I've shared the stage with all
62
00:04:06.919 --> 00:04:12.280
of the big name motivational speakers, and you know I
63
00:04:12.400 --> 00:04:16.240
used to use the radio show to promote my investment business,
64
00:04:16.279 --> 00:04:19.800
to promote my motivational speaking, to promote my positive message,
65
00:04:20.399 --> 00:04:25.399
and I saw a shift going on in the media world.
66
00:04:25.879 --> 00:04:30.839
Back in two thousand and seven, where streaming was first starting,
67
00:04:31.000 --> 00:04:33.399
there was no such word as it yet. It was
68
00:04:33.439 --> 00:04:38.279
just called internet radio, and there wasn't even podcasting yet.
69
00:04:38.639 --> 00:04:41.759
Podcasting is just a fancy word for a recording, you know.
70
00:04:41.839 --> 00:04:44.160
But it's become the buzzword and the buzz thing, and
71
00:04:44.199 --> 00:04:47.000
everybody wants to have a podcast now. But I was
72
00:04:47.040 --> 00:04:49.639
there before it even existed. As a matter of fact,
73
00:04:50.680 --> 00:04:57.839
my organization was the one that we beta tested iHeartRadio's
74
00:04:57.920 --> 00:05:02.720
original podcast network called iHeart Talk because podcast was not
75
00:05:02.800 --> 00:05:07.120
a word yet, and basically had this vision the very
76
00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:12.399
beginning of you know, media was going to change, that
77
00:05:12.519 --> 00:05:14.839
it was going to be what it is today. And
78
00:05:15.160 --> 00:05:18.399
I like to associate like Bill Gates and IBM. Like
79
00:05:18.439 --> 00:05:22.439
Bill Gates came out while he was working at IBM
80
00:05:22.519 --> 00:05:26.639
and said, Hey, I have an idea for you know,
81
00:05:26.920 --> 00:05:32.399
a personal computer and everybody's home. An IBM's answer to
82
00:05:32.480 --> 00:05:37.639
that was, yeah, that'll never happen, the mainframes never going
83
00:05:37.680 --> 00:05:41.160
away in your nuts. And that's when Bill Gates decided
84
00:05:41.160 --> 00:05:44.720
to leave IBM and start Microsoft and ergo here we
85
00:05:44.759 --> 00:05:50.040
are today doing this show on PC's the vision that
86
00:05:50.480 --> 00:05:52.800
Bill Gates had. Well, it was the same for me,
87
00:05:53.079 --> 00:05:55.920
like you know, yeah to lorestrial radio and the internet
88
00:05:56.000 --> 00:05:59.279
radio came out. But all these people and this also
89
00:05:59.319 --> 00:06:02.000
answers your quest and they're like, well, now you know,
90
00:06:02.040 --> 00:06:04.519
when they're in that radio, I can just do it
91
00:06:04.560 --> 00:06:08.240
for my bedroom. And my answer is no, just because
92
00:06:08.279 --> 00:06:10.920
you can. I mean you can do it. I can
93
00:06:10.959 --> 00:06:13.639
do it as far as the host, but not running
94
00:06:13.720 --> 00:06:19.040
the actual radio station. Okay, a real radio station needs
95
00:06:19.079 --> 00:06:22.279
to be licensed, It needs to pay royalties like we do.
96
00:06:22.839 --> 00:06:27.600
It needs to have professional studios, professional engineers, even though
97
00:06:27.639 --> 00:06:33.920
Rebel's engineering this show and I'm just Rebel, not really
98
00:06:34.079 --> 00:06:38.040
but maybe and go ahead, well you gonna say Rebel,
99
00:06:38.120 --> 00:06:39.920
go ahead, I see you can try in the China.
100
00:06:40.079 --> 00:06:43.120
Not even gonna go there with you.
101
00:06:43.800 --> 00:06:45.319
Because we love you.
102
00:06:45.319 --> 00:06:46.160
You are Vene.
103
00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:50.079
Yeah, just come over and show your face because all
104
00:06:50.199 --> 00:06:54.040
my three hundred million audience wants to see who Rebel is.
105
00:06:54.079 --> 00:06:56.480
And why do I always want Rebel?
106
00:06:56.959 --> 00:07:00.639
Oh, nobody wants to see it. She's got she's got
107
00:07:00.639 --> 00:07:01.600
a face for radio.
108
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:07.800
Yeah, so yeah, so bea and stay the art equipment
109
00:07:07.959 --> 00:07:11.480
like you know, listen, people say, well, I can watch
110
00:07:11.519 --> 00:07:14.480
a YouTube video and I could do my own radio station.
111
00:07:14.720 --> 00:07:17.480
Yeah you could. You could also watch a YouTube video
112
00:07:17.519 --> 00:07:19.600
on doing brain surgery. I don't want you pulling the
113
00:07:19.639 --> 00:07:22.720
scalpelt to my head though, And that's the point you
114
00:07:22.839 --> 00:07:26.560
got to run. And if this type of medium was
115
00:07:26.959 --> 00:07:28.920
I saw where it was going. But it had to
116
00:07:28.920 --> 00:07:32.240
be run professionally. So if you're gonna have internet radio
117
00:07:32.279 --> 00:07:35.399
and you're gonna have it compete with terrestrial radio, you
118
00:07:35.480 --> 00:07:38.319
had to have all the things that terrestrial radio had,
119
00:07:38.720 --> 00:07:40.120
professional studios.
120
00:07:40.279 --> 00:07:42.959
Yes, I want to interrupt you, but I remember one
121
00:07:43.000 --> 00:07:47.160
thing I was with block Talk radio and you said
122
00:07:47.240 --> 00:07:50.600
that you know, anytime you could be cashed, that they
123
00:07:50.639 --> 00:07:54.160
can say that you are not licensed. You know, yes,
124
00:07:54.759 --> 00:07:55.959
that story.
125
00:07:56.000 --> 00:07:59.240
Well, because there are lots See this is the problem
126
00:07:59.279 --> 00:08:02.319
with people that are not from the industry try and
127
00:08:02.360 --> 00:08:05.000
come in the industry because they watch some video and
128
00:08:05.040 --> 00:08:08.240
listen to some snake all salesman saying that they can,
129
00:08:08.600 --> 00:08:10.000
you know, do their own podcasts.
130
00:08:10.000 --> 00:08:13.279
It don't cost them nothing. No, that's not true. You could.
131
00:08:13.360 --> 00:08:16.639
It's not going to do anything though. The licensing alone
132
00:08:17.360 --> 00:08:21.199
is required by law, and with that licensing, I have
133
00:08:21.240 --> 00:08:25.959
to do reporting every single month or quarter of what
134
00:08:26.040 --> 00:08:28.720
we're playing, and I have to pay royalties, and I
135
00:08:28.800 --> 00:08:32.519
pay licensing fees throughout the for the whole year too.
136
00:08:33.000 --> 00:08:39.960
Without that licensing, you're breaking the law. Okay, you're breaking
137
00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:42.759
a law. People think they're not. They're like, well, I
138
00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.840
don't need to. I've had people say, may, well, why
139
00:08:44.919 --> 00:08:46.360
should I have to pay royalties?
140
00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.600
They should be like people do podcast on stream yard,
141
00:08:50.879 --> 00:08:54.840
on YouTube and all that without having, you know, to
142
00:08:54.919 --> 00:08:56.159
go to a radio station.
143
00:08:56.759 --> 00:09:00.519
Well they're doing it, but they're gonna get caught and
144
00:09:00.559 --> 00:09:02.919
it's gonna cost them a lot of money, is what's
145
00:09:02.960 --> 00:09:03.600
gonna happen?
146
00:09:03.960 --> 00:09:04.399
You know that?
147
00:09:05.200 --> 00:09:08.279
Like even Spotify got fined years ago over a half
148
00:09:08.320 --> 00:09:12.879
a million dollars for not paying royalties. Same thing. Like
149
00:09:13.440 --> 00:09:16.600
it's been the wild wild West. And once the government
150
00:09:16.720 --> 00:09:20.639
figures out how to regulate things, which they have been
151
00:09:20.679 --> 00:09:24.639
doing now, but in the beginning they weren't, they're not
152
00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:27.919
gonna come slap you in the hand. They're gonna they're
153
00:09:27.919 --> 00:09:30.480
gonna let you do enough and dig a deep enough
154
00:09:30.519 --> 00:09:32.360
hole that they can put you out of business.
155
00:09:32.480 --> 00:09:33.679
Okay, because if you.
156
00:09:33.759 --> 00:09:36.240
Talk like I do my show on the stream Yard
157
00:09:36.679 --> 00:09:41.559
and I just send you to uh spread it the worldwide.
158
00:09:41.840 --> 00:09:43.759
So what is the situation then.
159
00:09:43.799 --> 00:09:48.559
Well, because you're saying you're recording it, but we're broadcasting it.
160
00:09:49.039 --> 00:09:52.639
And when you're broadcasting it, it has to be licensed
161
00:09:52.679 --> 00:09:56.360
and it has to be done by the rules and
162
00:09:56.399 --> 00:09:58.960
by the law, and yeah, you can put stuff, but
163
00:09:59.480 --> 00:10:02.960
you'll see you will see that the YouTube is cracking
164
00:10:03.039 --> 00:10:07.240
down lately. You know, they've been using AI to scour through.
165
00:10:07.639 --> 00:10:10.559
I've had it too, even on Spotify, like I get
166
00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:14.840
right now in twenty twenty five. This whole year, every
167
00:10:14.879 --> 00:10:19.679
single day, I'm getting hundreds of emails from Spotify verifying
168
00:10:19.759 --> 00:10:22.320
that I have the right to play the things I'm
169
00:10:22.320 --> 00:10:26.279
playing or they're taking it down and I could possibly
170
00:10:26.320 --> 00:10:29.519
get fined. It could be quite expensive if you get caught.
171
00:10:29.919 --> 00:10:32.879
You know, it's like anything else. Sure you can break
172
00:10:32.919 --> 00:10:34.720
the law and you might not get caught, but when
173
00:10:34.799 --> 00:10:38.080
you do get caught, then there's a problem. And the
174
00:10:38.120 --> 00:10:40.960
hard thing is too, is you know, people have to
175
00:10:41.039 --> 00:10:44.120
be feel that you're a professional and not a scammer.
176
00:10:44.200 --> 00:10:45.720
And the way to do that is to do it
177
00:10:45.799 --> 00:10:49.559
the legal way. That's you know, and then on top
178
00:10:49.639 --> 00:10:53.559
of it, you know, to be taken seriously, you have
179
00:10:53.600 --> 00:10:55.519
to write like a real radio station. So, like I
180
00:10:55.559 --> 00:10:58.600
was saying, you know, we have professional engineers, professional studio,
181
00:10:58.720 --> 00:11:01.279
statey or equipment. But we also do a lot of
182
00:11:01.360 --> 00:11:05.240
things that terrestrial stations do, like do live remote broadcasts
183
00:11:05.279 --> 00:11:08.759
for events, we go, do radio and media coverage at
184
00:11:08.759 --> 00:11:12.759
different events and music festivals and conferences. You know, we
185
00:11:12.879 --> 00:11:15.679
do everything as if it were a terrestrial station. Most
186
00:11:15.679 --> 00:11:18.519
of the people that are just reading, reading some stuff
187
00:11:18.600 --> 00:11:21.679
or watching YouTube, they're not doing any of that. They're
188
00:11:21.720 --> 00:11:25.240
just talking because they love to hear themselves talk. You know,
189
00:11:25.360 --> 00:11:28.720
let's call what it is. Most podcasters have an ego
190
00:11:29.159 --> 00:11:31.559
and they all think they have the best content ever.
191
00:11:32.080 --> 00:11:37.159
But if your content is not quality and good sound
192
00:11:37.279 --> 00:11:40.440
quality and isn't legal, it doesn't do a bit of
193
00:11:40.480 --> 00:11:42.600
good for you. And you know, even when I have
194
00:11:42.639 --> 00:11:45.279
guests that come on my show, I'm like, well why
195
00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.840
should you be a guest on my show? And this
196
00:11:46.960 --> 00:11:49.960
shows the ego they say to me because I have
197
00:11:50.039 --> 00:11:53.399
great content. And then my next statement to them is,
198
00:11:54.039 --> 00:11:58.559
well so do millions of other people doing podcasts. Now
199
00:11:58.600 --> 00:12:01.440
what do you have? And they never have that next answer.
200
00:12:01.960 --> 00:12:06.519
Content is great, but it's not enough. It's not enough
201
00:12:06.559 --> 00:12:09.919
to become a successful radio show, host, podcast or what
202
00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:12.840
have you. And most of these podcasters that do it
203
00:12:12.879 --> 00:12:15.759
on their own, their listeners are their friends and family
204
00:12:15.799 --> 00:12:19.279
that already know them, so that doesn't help much.
205
00:12:19.320 --> 00:12:19.559
Either.
206
00:12:19.639 --> 00:12:21.759
You need to go on network like ours, where we
207
00:12:21.799 --> 00:12:25.320
already have a built in organic audience throughout the world
208
00:12:26.240 --> 00:12:29.360
that you your message can get to, because without an
209
00:12:29.440 --> 00:12:32.559
organization like mine, your message isn't getting to them. Your
210
00:12:32.559 --> 00:12:35.399
message is gained to just the people you know. Or
211
00:12:36.159 --> 00:12:39.159
you make it a full time job to spend a
212
00:12:39.240 --> 00:12:42.480
lot of money marketing and promoting and all that. You
213
00:12:42.559 --> 00:12:48.000
cannot build something without promoting it and without investing in it.
214
00:12:48.240 --> 00:12:50.559
There are no free lunches. People think they could do
215
00:12:50.600 --> 00:12:52.759
it for free, even the mics. They go on and
216
00:12:52.799 --> 00:12:55.679
buy a twenty dollars mic. A twenty dollars mic is
217
00:12:55.679 --> 00:12:58.720
what you give your kid on Christmas that they can
218
00:12:58.799 --> 00:13:01.200
play with. It's not so something you produce a radio
219
00:13:01.240 --> 00:13:02.320
show or podcast with.
220
00:13:02.799 --> 00:13:03.840
So because of.
221
00:13:03.759 --> 00:13:07.440
That, we really made a name for ourselves because we're
222
00:13:07.480 --> 00:13:09.799
doing it different in the beginning, back in two thousand
223
00:13:09.799 --> 00:13:13.320
and seven than anybody else was, because we were doing
224
00:13:13.360 --> 00:13:16.799
it the right way, and that's why we're still here
225
00:13:17.000 --> 00:13:20.519
eighteen years later and most of the people that were
226
00:13:20.559 --> 00:13:25.120
around then are not around anymore. Because it's a great idea,
227
00:13:25.159 --> 00:13:28.039
but you'd still got to run a business like a business.
228
00:13:28.200 --> 00:13:31.559
And you know, as you can testify to, we're a
229
00:13:31.600 --> 00:13:35.559
well oiled machine and we make for hosts like you easy.
230
00:13:35.879 --> 00:13:38.440
Then you can just come on and do your thing
231
00:13:38.879 --> 00:13:41.360
and you don't have to worry about all the other
232
00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:43.279
stuff because we're doing it for you.
233
00:13:43.600 --> 00:13:46.799
So we are going to continue the conversation after the
234
00:13:46.879 --> 00:13:50.919
first break, Rebel, please do the sponsorship with you.
235
