You end up doing a bunch of little things to make it all add up at the end of the month.\n\n\n\nWhat if you could clean it all up and just focus on the thing you love the most?\n\n\n\nToday’s guest, Nicole Antoinette, faced a similar dilemma.\n\n\n\nNicole is the host of Real Talk Radio, a podcast that digs deep into the lives of athletes, writers, entrepreneurs, parents, coaches, and activists. Four years into finding an opportunity to coach people who wanted a similar lifestyle to hers, she decided to make a big change.\n\n\n\nNicole decided to do away with coaching and digital products and just get paid to having fascinating, honest conversations with people living fulfilling lives.\n\n\n\nTo do it, she used Patreon.\n\n\n\nPatreon is a platform that allows creators like Nicole to create a community-funded business model.\n\n\n\nNicole and I talk about how she arrived at the idea for the podcast, what she did to ensure the longevity of the project once it took off, and why she chose a community-funded business model. We also talk about how she structures the pricing, rewards, and growth of her Patron community.\n\n\n...","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/AmfGeDL96-fhMaeOcqmX7TK_eWrvTLco6OJj2QpZtZI/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS80NGUx/OWY5ZDg1M2E5MmU3/ZjEwOWVmNDM3MWVh/ZjZlOS5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
