TREVOR BELL | Becoming Satan's Lawyer, Why V4V Is More Than BTC & Giving Advice To Podcasters

Trevor Bell is a former lawyer and host of 'The Iron Fist and the Velvet Glove' podcast. In Conversation #103, Trevor and I discuss: why he did pro-bono work for the Noosa Temple of Satan, our experiences travelling Mexico in different eras, why he's a big fan of V4V/listener support, the nuances of the value 4 value philosophy, the different monetisation models that podcasters can adopt and why he's not a fan of Bitcoin. Trevor has generously asked for his 30% split to go to the Podcast Index, don't forget to boost!Timeline:(0:00) - Intro(0:19) - Satan's lawyer(5:01) - Journalist's love satanism(8:26) - Don't become a lawyer!(14:59) - Travelling Latin America in the 90's(19:08) - Manufacturing Consent(22:05) - Experiencing other cultures(25:40) - Intro to P2.0 and staying small(31:42) - He's not Anti-V4V, shame on Sam!(33:21) - Is Patreon value 4 value compliant?(37:18) - Our first PayPal donation(40:29) - Say no to paywalls(42:37) - Trevor's making me sweat(44:07) - Where's the subscriptions?!(49:08) - Should the nerdy tech stuff be foremost?(58:16) - BTC has a lot of hurdles(1:07:10) - Framing time and talent(1:11:11) - Advertising bleh(1:14:52) - The Feedback Loop: Say my name(1:19:40) - Definitely fell into that one lol(1:23:10) - The closed vs open business model(1:31:24) - Critical but done with kindness(1:34:46) - Ignorance is bliss(1:37:05) - The Iron Fist & The Velvet GloveConnect with Trevor:Website: https://www.ironfistvelvetglove.com.au/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@theironfistandthevelvetglo8763Connect with Mere Mortals:Website: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/Discord: https://discord.gg/jjfq9eGReUTwitter/X: https://twitter.com/meremortalspodInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/meremortalspodcast/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@meremortalspodcastValue 4 Value Support:Boostagram: https://www.meremortalspodcast.com/supportPaypal: https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/meremortalspodcastSupport the show
