Relay FM

David Sparks and Mike Schmitz are not nearly as productive as they’d like to be. Join these fellow travelers (and a bunch of special guests) as they share the best ways to get focused, and talk through their successes and failures along the way. Hosted by David Sparks and Mike Schmitz.

Focused

219: A Focused Smorgasbord

220: 2024 Retrospective

221: A Focus on Creativity

In our very first episode, David and Jason discuss narrowing scope and taking on too much work.

1: The Temptation of Yes

Just because you're independent doesn't mean you don't need a schedule. This episode is about building (and breaking) routines.

2: Booked Up With Myself

Myke Hurley, co-founder of Relay FM, discusses transitioning from his bank job to a full-time podcaster, including the inherent contradictions in working a dream job that never lets you take a vacation.

3: My Curse and My Reward, with Myke Hurley

Deciding where to get your work done can be a difficult challenge for an independent worker. Can you work out of the house? Does renting office space make sense? What about co-working spaces, or that long wooden table at your neighborhood Starbucks? There are a lot of options.

4: Location, Location, Location

Clients: Getting them (by marketing yourself), keeping them, and the dangers and rewards of taking them with you from your previous job.

5: Envision a Bonfire

PlayStation veteran Shahid Kamal Ahmad left Sony to become an independent game developer. We discuss why he left and how he schedules his workday in his garden shed, the ShaShed.

6: The Shawshank Redemption, with Shahid Kamal Ahmad

So you've decided to leave the nest. What can you do to prepare while you're still working for the man? What's the right way to give notice, and prepare for the aftermath? David and Jason discuss getting set up, preparing your loved ones for the change, rehearsing your big break-up speech, and the importance of not panicking when everything goes sideways.

7: Be Like a Duck

The Focus Course creator and small business owner Shawn Blanc is back to talk about margin, sabbaticals, and focusing like a boss.
