In this week\u2019s episode I get to have a really awesome conversation about finding secondary ways to make money as a coach with Rodrigo Alvira Isla. If you\u2019ve ever had the \u201cprivilege\u201d of getting stuck with me during one of my rants about this topic you already know how passionate I am about this topic and how important I think this is, not just for coaches, but for everyone in today\u2019s financial climate. Throughout the nearly 40-minute discussion Rodrigo and I get into:

\xa0

1)\xa0 \xa0 \xa0Being an international, the visa process, and some of the challenges of coming to work in The States

2)\xa0 \xa0 \xa0Some of the differences in basketball preparation between Spain and the US.

3)\xa0 \xa0 \xa0What were the driving factors behind Spaniardperformance and how it has helped him become a better coach.

4)\xa0 \xa0 \xa0Why many of the fears people have behind why they don\u2019t post content, or build an online product may be self-imposed.

5)\xa0 \xa0 \xa0Working with athletes on an online training program, steps you can make to make it scalable, and what is a reasonable time commitment to each athlete in his mind.\xa0

I cannot thank Rodrigo enough for being so open to sharing, not just his voyage, but also some ways that coaches can use platforms we all have to find a second source of income. He\u2019s putting out awesome content with his business on Instagram, so make sure you give him a follow at @spaniardperformance. Even if you don\u2019t speak Spanish, he\u2019s providing a great template (how he\u2019s doing things) as to how you can build, and scale, an online business as a coach.\xa0
