We’ve gone through the beginning of the year until summer—departing my guppy sales job to building Audyx.
The last bit to get you caught up on: Audyx Beta Testing
Unexpectedly, 180 people signed up to participate which was only done by the orchestration of God as I’ve done so many projects that barely can get 10-15 people.
The large sign up was also helped by a $5 gift card incentive, which was both amazing and detrimental on varying levels.
The full story behind this is here:
However, the biggest hitch in the journey thus far with Audyx is that after beta testing I launched it—and yet still ran into the same usual problem:
I couldn’t land a customer.
Even if it was at a discounted rate, even if it was free.
It gave horror flashbacks to my time as a guppy salesman where I was pretty terrible at getting sales and really just despised the whole process.
So where did this leave me?
I was running through the money I got from the sales job and was in the position of Audyx either needed to make money—or I needed to get a job…again.
So that’s how I ended up where I am now.
I’m technically working and getting paid in a part-time job, but let me tell you—it’s anything but part-time.
From what I’ve experienced so far, it’s the most work I’ve ever done for a job in my career thus far.
Sadly the income doesn’t relate to the amount of work I’m putting into it, but it is something that I’ve been truly enjoying.
What is the job? What am I doing?
It’s all in this week’s 20-ish minute episode:
However, I can tell you this—
It’s a completely new career field to me in which I’ve had to learn so much on the fly, not knowing what will come to me each day as I head into work.
Coming up, I’ll share what I’ve been working on in regards to both Fisher Philbrick and Audyx since the summer.
One huge highlight and milestone: I’ve had my first consulting customer with FP.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend, and I look forward to sharing more with you soon.

PS. If you were one that helped me test Audyx this summer—thank you, again! I’m still very appreciative for the time, work, and effort you put towards Audyx.
