Kevin had the pleasure of interviewing Chapin Kreuter, a world-traveling surfing instructor and entrepreneur who spends most of his time in Nicaragua. They discuss Chapin’s podcast, Misfits and Rejects, getting into how Chapin got his inspiration to interview quirky and interesting characters while traveling the world, from former drug smugglers to business marketing gurus. Chapin also opens up about some of the struggles he’s encountered with podcasting, including realizing not long ago that his audience was much smaller than he had previously believed and how he’s working to better deliver what his audience is truly seeking from him.
