The Power of Abundance Mentality
We sit down with Ron Baetiong, serial creative entrepreneur and founder of several start-up business including Podcast Network Asia, on how his abundance mentality has paved the way for his dreams to be fulfilled - and how he's paying it forward through podcasting.
Starting His Own Business
A lot of people have been going through so many different things specially during this pandemic. Glen Ron is the CEO and founder of Podcast Network Asia and the host of the number one business podcast in the Philippines, Hustleshare. He started his career very young because of his family’s incapacity for good education and meeting needs. And this difficulty hasn’t stop him for chasing opportunities. Choosing the path of Entrepreneurship, he then put up two startups. His first started, called Party File, flourished and grew that became the biggest nightlife app in Asia but then eventually failed. He had lost everything on that crash but still tried to discover new things and make ends meet again. And after a year of trying, he put up ChatBot Ph. On this hardship, he then learned and start asking himself on how he will be able to pay forward and help those start-up founders that are struggling.
There’s nothing really wrong in seeking help and doing therapy as long as this will be helpful for our well-being. It’s good to look around towards the people we trust and really ask for help. We should break the stigma of mental health and just start that conversation right now without the fear of being judged or telling somebody that we’re feeling anxious or stressed because we don't want to burden them. Find a community and really start to connect with people. Have that human connection. Take advantage also with the technology to have chats with people. (JP)
The Abundance Mentality
Having these mood boards for Ron while growing up changes his path. It’s the psychology of always reminding ourselves of the things we should be doing, we should keep doing and still thrive even if we don’t feel it.
Digital is really a huge part also this time. It's really not just a goldmine as most entrepreneurs and business people would call it but more of a huge opportunity to really make the world a smaller and more substantial place.
The Podcast Industry in the Philippines
Just like Hustleshare, Ron started his new empire with the same intention, to pay it forward to the startup community. He saw that no one else is exploring yet in the podcasting industry. Seeing that less than 20% was only populating the new industry, he created a company that would help podcasters in the Philippines start their own podcast, produce and monetize it.
And right now, the podcasting industry and the Philippine market has been growing ever since. Podcasting is a different topic when it comes to YouTube video. The one mistake that most people know is that its content can be identical but little they know that the intent of the audience of the podcast is different. It’s not to be entertained like YouTube, but to learn. So for podcast, content creators should make sure that it adds value to the intellect of their listeners.
Adapting in this world full of failures and success is hard but one thing in mind is that we should be compassionate and kind to each other and to ourselves also. If we have the chance to be kind and right, we have to be selfless about it and resonate it to whatever medium we could touch on.
