I think Cliff has a good point. On your about page you state you've been in the real estate business for 20 years. There’s no way you have a problem coming up with relevant content. It sounds like you have a problem talking about stuff you don't like. I've got the same problem. I can talk or write for days about things I’m into. I often get asked, just like Cliff did at the doctor, how can you talk so much? The simple answer is I like what I’m talking about.

When was the last time you met your friends for lunch and sat in silence the whole meal? I would doubt that has ever happened. Very few people have trouble coming up with things to talk about with their friends – because the like who they're talking to and what they’re talking about.

But since you have been doing this for 20 years it's probably hard to just drop it – and to that end, this is my advice. Blog about foreclosures, sure, but blog about every aspect of buying real estate. Blog about the Denver area. Blog about anything that is remotely relevant. What would you need to know if you were moving to a new city? Start building a report through your blog and when someone is moving to Denver you'll be the only guy they know and we want to do business with people we know…

As I listened to your answer for Larry you said, as you often have, that you are passionate about podcasting. I don't think that is the case. I don't think you're lying, it's just you're not telling the whole truth. I think you're passionate about helping people. You're passionate about seeing people excel. And you see electronic media and especially podcasting as a way for people to amplify themselves, to help them reach a larger audience for their ideas or interests.

I'm not sure if I'm explaining this well and this may be another issue of semantics . . . You should check out Simon Sinek's book Start With Why. I think he can explain better then I.

On a side note, I've got a question about moving from multiple wordpress installs to a single install. What if your topics are not related? What if one blog is about gardening and the other about professional boxing? Most boxing fans, I would assume, are not into gardening and most gardeners are not into boxing. I have diverse interests and don't know if it would be wise to create a single page. Is it possible to run two themes with two domains from one wordpress install? Your thoughts?
