Ronald Sepulveda II spent close to $2,000 promoting his first public speaking event.

Only five people showed up.

Instead of only looking at the event as a failure, Ron eventually described it differently:

“I spent $2,000 for experience.”

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Ron shares how mistakes, observation, trial and error, and years of studying people helped him build Absolution Coaching LLC.

We talk about:

-Spending close to $2,000 on a speaking event

-Leaving his job on February 15, 2016

-Learning how to work for himself

-Learning sales and marketing

-and More

One of Ron's biggest lessons is that failure only becomes the end when you stop learning from it.

Ron is the founder of Absolution Coaching LLC and works as a high-end life coach for executives and high-performing individuals.

Are you an aspiring podcaster who struggles to make an impact, make a difference, or consistently put yourself out there?

Your podcast may already be helping people, but you might not be measuring the right results.

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey explains how to measure the impact your podcast is creating.

After producing 893 podcast episodes and helping 30 entrepreneurs launch their podcasts, Terryl realized that podcast success cannot be measured by revenue alone.

He shares how presentations, vendor events, customer conversations, testimonials, and podcast launches helped him see the difference his work was making.

In this episode, you will learn:

-How to create SMART goals for your podcast

-Why your impact must be documented

-How specialization helps you stand out

Many podcasters believe their podcast is not working because they are only looking at revenue, views, or immediate results.

Impact can also be measured through:

-People asking questions

-Customers sharing testimonials

-Entrepreneurs gaining confidence

This is a solo episode hosted by Terryl Humphrey, founder of Failure Is Knowledge.

Terryl has produced 893 podcast episodes and helped 30 entrepreneurs launch their podcasts.

Are you an aspiring podcaster who struggles with being different, unique, or special?

In this episode, Terryl Humphrey explains how to make your podcast different from the other podcasts being created.

After producing 893 podcast episodes and helping 30 entrepreneurs launch their podcasts with confidence, Terryl recognized that many podcasts use the same basic structure.

They have cameras, microphones, people, and conversations.

The difference comes from how the podcaster studies the market, applies knowledge, communicates their message, and creates a competitive advantage.

In this episode, you will learn how to:

-Study other podcasts without copying them

-Identify your competitive advantage

-Practice what you sell

Terryl also shares how one event produced $386.40, content, testimonials, behind-the-scenes footage, recorded panel discussions, and proof of concept after helping five entrepreneurs launch their podcasts in less than five minutes.

A podcast is not only about recording content.

It can help people learn about your business, build trust in your experience, understand your services, and become customers.

Your podcast should have a strategy that helps you stay visible and communicate what makes your business different.

This is a solo episode featuring Terryl Humphrey, founder and host of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast.

Are you a business owner struggling to gain the success you are working toward?

Many entrepreneurs begin working toward a goal, but they stop doing the work when the results take longer than expected.

In this episode, Terryl Humphrey explains why you must identify what is working, improve the process, and continue showing up.

This episode covers:

-Putting the right work in place

-Asking customers better questions

-Learning the language of your customers

-Reviewing what worked and what did not work

Terryl also shares what he learned while attending an entrepreneurship program at the University of South Florida and collecting customer feedback.

He explains how his wife helped update the message at a recent vendor event from “Launch your podcast with confidence” to “Launch your podcast in less than five minutes.”

That clearer message helped people understand what Failure Is Knowledge was offering.

Put the right work in place.

Ask questions that reveal the customer’s actual problem.

Review the outcome after every event or business activity.

You cannot market your business effectively when people do not understand what you do.

Clear communication, consistent action, and a repeatable process help customers understand how your business can help them.

Podcasting can help business owners stay top of mind, communicate their expertise, build authority, and market their business consistently.

Are you an organization looking to host an event, record content, or document your process?

Choosing the right production company can determine whether an important moment becomes valuable marketing content or disappears after the event is over.

What the Episode Covers

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, Terryl Humphrey explains three things to look for when choosing a production company:

Consistency

Communication

Fast turnaround

Terryl also shares how he started recording podcast episodes with a phone, a short tripod, and three books underneath it.

Over time, he realized that production was not only about recording video. It was also about documenting the process, creating proof, marketing the business, and helping the moment reach people who were not in the room.

Main Lessons

-A production company must consistently capture important moments.

-A camera is a tool for marketing and proof.

-Communication should happen before, during, and after production.

-Customers should not have to guess whether their footage is being edited.

-Fast turnaround helps businesses publish and promote their content sooner.

-Once a moment is captured, the footage can continue being used for years.

An event may only have 30 people in the room, but recorded footage can reach hundreds or thousands of new people.

Without production, the people who were not in the room may never understand what happened, what was taught, or what value was provided.

Production helps make the moment last.

This is a solo episode featuring Terryl Humphrey, founder of Failure Is Knowledge.

Terryl has produced 893 podcast episodes while helping 23 entrepreneurs launch their podcasts with confidence.

Look for a production company that is consistent, communicates effectively, and delivers your footage quickly.

Don't be afraid to fail, because Failure Is Knowledge.

Podcasting is one of the best ways to market yourself, your business, and the problem you are solving.

In this episode of the Failure Is Knowledge Podcast, I talk about why podcasting is more than recording videos or creating content.

It is about helping people learn more about who you are, your mission, your business, and the story behind what you do.

I also share a real experience from one of the first times someone said yes to working with me.

The payment system failed seven times, and I had to learn how to communicate, fix the payment process, and understand what it really means to operate a business.

This episode covers:

-Why you have to share who you are

-Why storytelling matters in business

-Why marketing creates awareness

The main lesson is simple: podcasting is not just about the podcast. It is about becoming known for something and helping people connect with your story.
