First, before I get into who I'm interviewing and why, let me just tell you about my wacky intro for the Success Cast. I tried to start all nice and sweet, but then I got to this point:

“You're listening to my … uh… it's not weekly anymore podcast, it's kind of whenever the heck I want to record it… what do I say, oh no!…PANIC! PANIC! .. BURST INTO LAUGHTER!”

And, since I promised that I wouldn't edit these interviews — you get to hear the whole debacle.

My Virtual Assistant listened to the interview and sweetly said “Nik, were you drinking?!”

Yeah, it's that goobery. And, NO! I wasn't. Geesh. It was like 9 in the morning and I was recording an interview with a highly esteemed friend.

But, I sound like I was. I tell you. I get on these calls and just forget that we're recording sometimes. Anyway, I wanted to warn you in advance, that, once again, the call is … well, mostly-sane.  AND, I wanted to remind you that YOU don't have to be perfect either. I'm sure not!

Back to the call. Paul really shares a lot about himself, and his ups and downs, how he makes his money, as well as how he got out of “prison”. (No, he wasn't a criminal.)

Here's more about Paul so you can see why I think he's cool:

Paul Cooley has been Online since 2002 and has loved every minute of it, even the hard times. Paul and his wife currently own a coffee shop and Paul operates his Internet Marketing blog and Christian Entrepreneurship Training site.

Paul is also author of the “Home Entrepeneur’s Guide” and has many more books coming soon to help Entrepreneurs.
