Story
If you’re a forward-focused thinker, you may be dreaming about leaving the workforce to enjoy an easier life in retirement or you might even be considering retiring early. But a dream without a plan is just a wish. Passive income is money you earn in a way that requires little to no daily effort to maintain. Some passive income ideas - like renting out property or building a blog - may take some work to get up and running, but they could eventually earn you money while you sleep.

Why start a podcast? There are three reasons people listen to a podcast: an unusual sense of intimacy, the ability to productively multitask while driving or working out, and great stories - the power of narrative. If you understand the value of creating content (for example, keeping an active blog) for your business and brand, then you understand the value of podcasting.

Story
Today, most of the music fans listen to is streamed via online services and highly compressed. It’s convenient, but, frustratingly, this comes at the cost of quality. Gone are the days when it was technologically necessary to compress music into the smallest possible file size, yet this remains the industry standard. The result is music that is robbed of its original quality - muddy and flat in sound compared to the rich, warm sound artists hear in the studio.
