Brian Hood (0:00)

This is the Six Figure Home Studio Podcast, episode 90 You're listening to the Six Figure Home Studio Podcast. The number one resource for running a profitable home recording studio.

Welcome back to another episode of the 6 Figure Home Studio Podcast. I am your host, Brian Hood, and I'm here with my bald, beautiful and amazing purple-shirted co-host, Christopher J. Graham. How are you doing today, Chris?

Christopher J. Graham (0:30)

Oh, I'm really good today, man. How are you?

Brian Hood (0:33)

I'm doing pretty good, man. Particularly because we have our first repeat guest of all time on the 6 Figure Home Studio Podcast.

Christopher J. Graham (0:40)

No way!

Brian Hood (0:42)

We're not going to talk about who it is. Actually, we know who it is. It's Graham Cochrane. Graham, welcome to the show yet again. You're the first repeat guest.

Graham Cochrane (0:48)

What? I had no idea. That's a big deal, man.

Brian Hood (0:52)

We're like 90 or 91 episodes in, and you are our first repeat guest. And for very good reason, there's a lot of things you have in that big, beautiful brain of yours. And we're going to...

That's the weirdest compliment I've ever said on the show. Your big, beautiful brain. I was going to say head, but I was like, man, that's really... That's not the right word.

Christopher J. Graham (1:07)

That's too forward and not creepy enough. Yeah, that's not creepy enough.

Brian Hood (1:12)

So for those who didn't listen to you on episode 46, between now and that episode, Graham Cochrane has launched a podcast. It's called The Graham Cochrane Show. We wanted to get him on here to, A, promote the heck out of that show because it's an amazing show. But B, to pick his brain on some of the topics he's brought up on that podcast for our listeners because there's so much more that we can get out of him as far as knowledge, info, and Chris actually between then and now has also taken him on as a business coach.

So there's just been a lot of stuff that we want to bring up with you, Graham, because I didn't feel like the last episode even scratched the surface of the value you can bring to our audience. So we had to have you back again.

Graham Cochrane (1:48)

That's awesome. I'm so honored because I was literally thinking, this is the first podcast that I've personally gone on back on.

I've never been asked to come back, so I either screwed up all the other ones over the last decade, or I never really wanted to go back on. I don't know if there were many that I was like, dude, we had more to talk about. I would enjoy it, but you guys are so much fun. And I feel like that was just a couple months ago, but that was almost a year ago, if not longer. So honored to be back.

Christopher J. Graham (2:14)

Well, we're glad to have you, man. Well, let me tell you guys a story, you guys being the listeners here.

So we had Graham on, and let's see, this was what, like November or something?

Brian Hood (2:23)

September 25th, 2018

Christopher J. Graham (2:26)

Yeah, almost a year ago. And so it was kind of a weird time for Brian and I in that the podcast had started to take off. When, you know, we've mentioned this before, when Brian and I first started doing this, in my head, I was like, yeah, like maybe 500 people will listen to this podcast someday. This is just an excuse for me to hang out with Brian and to get free business coaching from Brian. All those things happened and more. And so we had Graham on, and it was kind of really cool to have you on because you have built an audience and you knew how that impacted your own business. And I think I had vision for how it was gonna impact Brian and I's own businesses. And so for me, just as a mastering engineer, this podcast has been weird because I get hired pretty much at least once a day by somebody who listens to this show.

But it really struck me during that interview we did with you that you knew many, many things that I did not know.

And so right after we had that interview, I reached out, talked to you about being a business coach for me.

And we did it, we did, we hung out six times. It was incredible. And it really challenged me. And my business has grown substantially in large part because of a lot of the advice you've given me. And so, man, I just really appreciate you. And I am so glad that I did that because my kind of thought here, at least when I started my business was, oh, I'm gonna consume a bunch of content. I'm gonna read a bunch of books. I'll listen to some podcasts. I'll watch some videos. And I'll self teach.
