#49: Bruce Chamoff | Becoming A Successful Podcaster

On this week's edition of Toys & Tech of the Trade, Rich sits down with podcaster and content creator Tim B. Tim is one half of the duo that hosts the Fight In Sight Podcast, which covers MMA but has no qualms about getting into other combat sports. Tim and Rich discuss some MMA, which is to be expected, but they also dig into the origins of the podcast, Tim's approaches to show prep, the tech he uses, and the toys that bring a smile to his face.

#47: Updates, Q&A's And More

While social media is sometimes a vicious place, it can also be a welcoming and exciting place to connect with folks who have similar views or are into similar things. This week's guest is proof of that as I connected with him through a post from someone wearing one of his products. I connected with Bobbito Ross after seeing a Rally B. Art on Instagram wearing some of Bobbito's merchandise. I checked out Bobbito's social and his website. I was blown away by his talent and unique approach to promoting Puerto Rican culture and beliefs while leveraging his own experiences and interests. The conversation ran the gamut from Bobbito's work and its impact to cultural identity and the need for voices to keep those cultural identities, ideologies, and beliefs out there for others to learn and grow. Gadgets and gear took a back seat in a way, but this conversation's value will hopefully resonate with listeners much like it resonated with Rich.

#45 Alex Sanfilippo | PodMatch & Creating A Brand

In this week's episode of Toys & Tech of the Trade, Rich sits down with content creator, podcaster, and strongman competitor Joe Szatmary. Coach Joe is the host of the Becoming The Lion podcast and owner of The Lion's Den training facility in Colmar, PA. Coach Joe's story is truly a tale of grit and determination and serves as proof that if you believe in something and grind hard enough, you can make it. During this episode, Joe and Rich discuss Joe's start, from his humble beginnings in his aunt's garage through the struggles in getting his facility off the ground. Within the core of the conversation, we dig into the tech Joe uses to create content for his YouTube channel and his podcast. Also on the discussion table is his supplement stack (including one he thinks is hugely underrated) and the benefits of owning a dog (shoutout to Zeke). This conversation is not strictly about a gym, as Joe's experiences and wisdom he shared can be applied to any business or side hustle. The Lion's Den Training Facility is located at:  311 Bethlehem Pike Suite K Colmar, PA 18915 The views expressed on air during Toys & Tech of the Trade do not represent the views of the RAGE Works staff, partners, or affiliates.

Imagine starting a business with a friend and that business changing the car sales game for the better. Now imagine that business being acquired by Carvana and taking an idea between two friends and taking it to the next level.

Nicholas and Chris now look to do it in the auto loan refinance space with his latest venture With Clutch. Nicholas shared a lot of great tips and tactics when it comes to both being a founder and finding your niche in the business world. “Don’t Let A Good Crisis Go To Waste.” Please take note of the quote Nick shared during our conversation and find ways to make the most of this current climate and do those things you’ve been putting off or were uncertain about doing. Taking that leap of faith may be all you need to do. The views expressed on air during Toys & Tech of the Trade do not represent the views of the RAGE Works staff, partners, or affiliates.
