Discover Your Potential – Tony Whatley pt 1

Many people struggle with success. Some struggle with it. Some struggle to find it. Some believe it only is available to a select few, but not themselves. If you go to work on a daily basis wondering and asking yourself, “Why you are working so hard for others? Wondering why you are working and giving up your time, and your life, for something called “success” (which always seems to always be eluding you, but seems to be happening to others). Well, if that sounds like you, I one thing to say to you today. Get your note pad and paper out and prepare to be blessed.

My guest today was just like the person I have described. That could be any of us, right? He made a decision he was going to change. At the age of 28, he started a side business while continuing to work a full time career. Within two years, he was earning more from his business than he was through his “regular job.”

At age 34, he sold that business and became a multi-millionaire. He’s done this now multiple times.

Today, Tony Whately has taught thousands of people how to pursue the lives they desire, instead of settling for less like most people do. Tony is a business mentor, speaker, a best- selling author of the book “Side Hustle Millionaire” and a podcast host! He is best known as the co-founder of LSI Tech, an online automotive community which grew into the largest of its kind, with over 300,000 registered members! Praise God!

He has been successful in his corporate career with over 27 years in the oil/gas industry; he has built and scaled project management departments and has consulted for Fortune 100 corporations on systems, processes and leadership. Beginning in 2015, he decided to focus on building businesses full-time and left a multiple six-figure salary to do what he loves. You need to check out his website at 365driven.com.

Help me welcome to the program, Tony Whatley! Tony, with all of that going on, I thank you for taking the time today to come on the program and bless our listeners!

Tony, I always start with this question first. Other than that brief information I just shared, can you tell us in your own words, “Who is Tony Whatley?”

You grew up in humble beginnings. I think I read you grew up in a 1000 sq. ft. home. Is that correct? How did those humble beginnings prepare you for what you are doing now.

Your engineering degree has taught you how to analyze things analytically. How can someone who has not been trained like that, who are working in the drudgery of day to day existence, change their mindset?

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
