There are a lot of podcasts on the subject of digital writing, online growth, and making money online.

And honestly, I’ve tried listening to most of them.

But the one I keep coming back to, over and over again, is The Espresso Hour by Dickie Bush & Nicolas Cole.

If you’re into to writing online, building an audience, and turning content into an online business, here’s why I’d recommend blocking one hour per week to listen and study every episode:

☕ Reason #1: Real, No-Fluff Advice on Writing, Business, and Monetization
Dickie & Cole don’t just talk theory—they break down exactly how they built their digital writing businesses. Whether you’re starting from scratch or scaling, they share practical, tested strategies on monetization, product creation, and growing a brand.

🎯 Reason #2: The Mindset Shifts That Make a Difference
The biggest challenge in writing online isn't the writing itself—it's managing your own psychology. From overcoming self-doubt to building consistency, they teach the mental frameworks that separate amateurs from pros and help you stay in the game long enough to make money.

🚀 Reason #3: Lessons from Their Own Journey (So You Don’t Have to Make the Same Mistakes)
They openly share the mistakes, experiments, and biggest takeaways from growing their brands, scaling Ship 30 for 30, and learning how to turn content into a profitable online business.

If you’re just starting out, I promise—this is one of the most valuable free resources on the Internet for learning how to write, build an audience, and make money online.
