“You’ll grow old and die before anyone will ‘give’ you permission to be who you’re meant to be and do what you are capable of doing,” says Andy Traub. It’s about taking initiative though, not being a bull in a china shop.

I’ve known Andy for a few years, and he’s just done this. He’s asked, he’s sought, he’s risked, he’s taken initiative and he’s taken permission to pursue work and a lifestyle that provides for his family according to his personal values and convictions.

Recently he launched TPMN, the ‘Take Permission Media Network’. Currently he’s hosting a handful of podcast shows, some his, some others. The lead dog right now is his ‘Linchpin Podcast,’ after Seth Godin’s book ‘Linchpin.’f And he’s helping people with a product, service or message get onto the air with their own podcast. Such as multi best-selling author Andy Andrews who has sold well over 2 million books.

Andy-and-KevinOf lesser known fame…the Free Agent Underground show will be aired on Andy’s TPMN starting with this very podcast!

On today’s show Andy shared his journey, his heart and why we all need to take permission.

Need to take permission? Need to hear a real, candid story of free agency? Interested in having a podcast produced for yourself?

Everyone’s focus is ‘online’ and expecting to use social media to ‘go viral’ and gain you tons of exposure. We totally ignore the realities and benefits of local media. But wise folks will tell you that local media can gain you a ton of exposure and credibility and be the best catalyst for leaping into national and global exposure.

Life and career coach (and longtime Free Agent Academy member) Joel Boggess is a master at the art of getting free publicity and in today’s show he shared with us the exact steps he took which landed him on TV 25-plus times in the Dallas area. Also how to get your book on TV and how to become a source for reporters.

He’s also been interviewed numerous times on radio and featured in various newspapers.

Take a peek at some of the programs he’s been on http://www.4pointscoaching.com/meet-joel/events/

P.S. The picture is Joel at a Free Agent Academy event in 2010 where he was the proud winner of the drawing for a Saddleback Leather laptop bag. He’s shown with Chuck Bowen who will be here co-leading the Sept. 9-11 FAA ‘Accelerator’ event here in Colorado (17 days from today!)
