“I’m a big believer of doubling down on your strengths” –Damian Ruse 

Damian Ruse is an Australian living in Bangkok, Thailand, via a stint in Senegal. He runs the popular Semi Pro Cycling Podcast and coaches high level racing cyclists all over the world who get to know him through his weekly show. Damian started the podcast as a way to provide value to people doing something he loved. Two and a half years in, he makes a full time living off the show and coaching. Listen to this episode if you have ever wanted to start a podcast, blog, or turn your expertise into a coaching business.
