Not everyone has the financial freedom to stop working and consult like you do. But the large majority of people can create content and if focused make much more than full time wages on a part time basis. When I write a monthly check to a podcaster that is greater than what they bring home in a paycheck from doing 10 hours of work a month you have to recognize that one can have his cake and eat it to if they play their cards correctly. I have consulted for a lot of companies but in all honesty the podcasting has paid a lot better when you look at the time differential. Michael

He is keying off of what Chris Brogan said, and also cites Todd Cochrane’s volley into this match. I’ll put in my tiny entry, and try to do it better than when I had almost the same go-round with Kris Smith a few months back.

You've experienced a lot of this first hand. You've dealt with the big guys, even more so over the last year or so with Gigavox, and as someone living it and working in it, it's hard not to want to jump up and shout to your podcasting brethren: "Look out! Iceberg!" Thanks for the kind words. I'm glad you liked the bit, and I look forward to catching up with you soon.
