In this episode of The Struggling Entrepreneur, we have an interview with Douglas Welch. I had the opportuntity to meet him in person at the Podcamp Arizona unconference in November, 2007. Doug is a high-tech consultant and recent New Media Entrepreneur. Coming from a corporate IT environment and also being a writer, Doug shares with us his road to becoming a successful entrepreneur. As a family man, he does this in concert with his wife and her career, as well. What is interesting are 2 areas that are mentioned in this 40-minute interview:

1. The need for the entrepreneur to be aware of the obstacles with affordable health care; and

2. How being a successful entrepreneur can enrich your personal and family life by “buying yourself time” for a quality life.

Doug has six podcasts currently. In his web site of Welchwrite.com, you can find these podcasts:

- Career Opportunities

- Careers in Podcasting and New Media

- Technology IQ

- Mortgages Made Simple

- Gardener’s Notebook, and

- My Word.

Note: in this podcast, we also mention the following examples of other successful entrepreneurs:

- Dave Jackson, the headmaster of the School of Podcasting, as well as Your Personal Podcast Coach; we focus on his latest personal improvement podcast, Logical Weight Loss.

- Paul Colligan, who set into motion from the beginning of his Podcast Tools Weekly Podcast, a model for the 5-minute free podcast for a targeted audience (and led to recognition, awareness, inbound links and podcast subscriptions);

- Evo Terra, who attended the Podcamp Arizona conference with myself and Doug Welch, and who is the co-author of the book Podcasting for Dummies; he is also the founder of Podiobooks.com.
