If you missed part 1 of my interview with Cory Barton, please go back and listen to January’s episode!
In this often hilarious episode, we continue our conversation about marketing and monetization, and we “go deeper” to get to know more about Cory personally.
Of course, I already know Cory really well since he’s my baby bro! And that’s part of what makes this such an excellent episode—we have fun together! It also helps that Cory totally knows his stuff as an audio engineer, he’s an awesome storyteller, and he’s funny as hell.
Some highlights from the episode:
- When Cory recognized that he should stop doing work for free… and why he kept doing free work anyway
- Why Cory got a day job and still does his own work on the side
- What Cory would have done differently, if anything, in becoming an audio engineer
- How to get paid, when to ask for the money, and yet more money stuff
- How Cory set up the not-so-fun but oh-so-necessary legal aspects of his business
- The ongoing debate about morning routines and whether you really need one to succeed
- “Scientific” proof why today’s music actually sucks—or, at least, substantive support from the educated ear of an audio engineer that today’s music is not good
Cory Barton is an audio engineer for fiction podcasts and the founder of Kool Nerd Productions, an audio and music production company.
