Danny Flood is a vibrant individual whose life experience spans a range of diverse chapters, all encapsulating an adventurous spirit and a penchant for non-traditional living. About eight years ago, you would have found him in the bustling city of Bangkok, living a life many only dream of. A pioneer in the realm of location independence, Flood was immersing himself in the digital nomad lifestyle, long before it gained mainstream recognition.
As a young man, Danny was no stranger to structure and discipline, having served in the military â an experience that shaped him in many ways. Following his service, he sought to expand his horizons and attended the Art Institute, where he earned a degree in advertising. This conventional path, which typically leads to a corporate career, didnât quite align with Danny's ambitions.
Facing what he called a quarter-life depression, Flood was confronted with the daunting prospect of 40 years tethered to an office desk, a future that seemed an ill fit for his free spirit. It was this period of introspection that propelled him to break free from the expected and carve a path outside the constraints of a 9-to-5 job. In the time since our last conversation with Danny, his unwavering zeal for living on his own terms is still apparent. Danny Flood remains a true embodiment of the adventurous soul, an inspiration to those looking to live life unconstrained by geographical or societal expectations.
In this episode, we will unpack the toolkit of modern entrepreneurs. Today's conversation spans the gamut from automating social media engagement to validating business ideas using organic methods. Plus, if you're quick, there might just be a discount code waiting for those eager to sign up for Danny's membershipâreach out, and you might snag that opportunity!

Nicholas Todd Bullock (NT Bullock) is the founder of Sequential Pictures. He is a filmmaker who discovered his passion for creating videos long before the advent of YouTube. In the mid-90s, he got hold of his father's camcorder and fell in love with capturing moments on camera. Despite the limitations of the time, like the absence of editing software like Final Cut Pro or access to free training and tutorials (again -- this was pre-YouTube), Bullock persevered. He worked multiple jobs to save up for a computer and a video capture card, recorded tons of skits and short films with his friends, and eventually published his work online -- and went viral with one of his first parodies published on youtube: "STAR WARS: A Lost Hope".
Since then, he's filmed and produced dozens of short films, parodies, and skits, as well as feature films.
In today's conversation, Todd shares his 'origin story', how he got started in film, what inspired him to create and publish these skits and parodies, what the reception has been, including the ups and downs of being a creator in a world that tends to hammer those who are inventive (including, in my words, YouTube's crazy and unfair copyright "standards", shadowbanning, and more).
We also talk about Todd's recent near-death experience (including multiple trips to the ER, 17 days in the hospital, and losing weight till he weighed only 89 pounds), how this has impacted his career, and how he's rebounding (including what's coming next from him).
As an aside, if you feel compelled to support Todd, you can find a gofundme for his health challenges here, and hopefully, I've inspired him to set up a Patreon account, which may be live in the near future.
I hope you enjoy today's conversation, and if you do, please share this interview with others, and leave a review on iTunes, Spotify, or wherever else you're listening to this.
In this broadcast, NT Bullock and I talk about (timestamps):[00:00:00] Intro to the filmmaker NT Bullock
[00:08:39] NT Bullock's journey, early online success, and learning process.
[00:17:17] How learning and adapting online facilitates the creative process.
[00:20:57] The challenges with measuring or projecting the time to complete a project (and why NT Bullock focuses on "getting the job done" instead of hitting specific 'metrics')
[00:27:35] The early days, the struggle to monetize content, and how he found success.
[00:39:33] How NT Bullock got started with paid film gigs (including car commercials), how he financed his movies, and why he prefers making shorts over feature length films.
[00:46:32] Why NT Bullock doesn't use Pateon (but should!)
[00:53:06] YouTube's unfair copyright policies and why they limit revenue and visibility.
[00:57:58] The challenges of making and selling creative projects (or the pain of commercializing art)

Edward Kay works with associations who are frustrated by the inability to get digital and web technology working for them. Clients come to him who are struggling with terrible website-to-membership-database integration, lack of member self-service and important data isolated in unconnected systems. Edward is passionate about making tech deliver for membership organisations and associations.
On this weekâs episode, I sit down with Edward Kay, a membership technology specialist and the founder of Tall Projects, which provides digital services for membership organizations and associations. I brought Edward on the call to talk about his journey into freelancing; specifically how he keeps his operation lean, how he moved away from trading time for money to a recurring revenue subscription model, and why itâs so important to niche down and then maybe niche down some more.
My big takeaway from this episode is that the crux of success is discipline work. And that itâs completely possible to land great clients and organize your business and lifestyle so that it serves you and not the other way around.
In this broadcast, Edward and I talk about:What is Edwardâs business journeyHow did Edward find his nicheWhy you need to keep your eyes and ears open for opportunitiesHow did Edward move to a recurring revenue modelWhy you need to experiment with your pricing on different clientsHow can you ensure a project isnât taking more time than you first quotedWhy is it important to niche downThe importance of expectations around retainersIs a retainer based system the best option for freelancersHow can you be more disciplined in your business to make the most of your timeWhat are Edwardâs best practices to keep clients for the long haulWhy you need to invest in a team for the long-termHow to Connect with Edward:www.tallprojects.co.ukGet the Latest Broadcasts of In The Trenches on Your Favorite Podcast Platform:Subscribe to In The Trenches on iTunes
