46 Stop Riding the Pine One Year Anniversary

Jaime_is_BIGIt’s so hard to beleive how fast this past year flew by. It’s been so awesome. I have been so blessed to have met so many great people. Podcasting is so fun and as a matter of fact, I think I enjoy it even more than when I first started. The relationships I’ve been able to build as a direct result of this podcast is amazing.

IMG_1848Over the past year I’ve changed my introduction many times. I haven’t posted on a consistent day each week and I’ve even missed a couple weeks. One thing is for sure though, I have never given up. I was at Podcast Movement 15 and was able to have dinner with Todd Cochrane, the CEO of Raw Voice and BluBrry, and Rob Greenlee, Head of Content for Spreaker. I learned so much during that dinner and it was very inspiring to me as a podcaster.

IMG_1826Having just finished recording my 51st episode, still yet to be published, I’m simply amazed at the amount I’ve learned in just one year. I love the freedom of publishing the content I want to publish that I feel will resonate with my audience. I also enjoy talking to people I share a similar interest in and I hope my “opiners” enjoy what has happened this past year on Stop Riding the Pine.

cliff ravenscraftI can’t wait to see what happens over the course of this next year because we are growing, the production and the content is only going to get better. There are a ton of people that have been so helpful. The friendships I’ve built will surely last a lifetime and some of the experts in the industry have been instrumental in my continued motivation.

IMG_1824They say that you need to surround yourself with people that are more successful than you are and I am definitely positioning myself and this show to be successful. People like Cliff Ravenscraft, Tim Paige, Paul Colligan, John Lee Dumas, Pat Flynn, Kate Erickson, Aisha Tyler, and Marc Maron, to say the least, have been ground breaking and revolutionary within the podcast industry. Whether or not you like their content, they’ve done a great job of clearing the path for those of us who have completely embeded ourselves in the wonderful world of podcasting!

IMG_1840Thank you again for all your support over the past year! It’s been great getting a chance to travel, interview and become friends with some of the coolest people on the planet. I wouldn’t change a thing. I hope you’ve enjoyed the content and make sure to buckle up because this next year is going to be a doosie!

Remember, the puck stops here!

Sincerely,
Jaime Jay

About Jaime Jay

Meet Jaime Jay – a man who wears many hats, and wears them all admirably. He's a master connector, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and a published author who knows how to get things done.

Before he found his way to the business world, Jaime served his country as a brave paratrooper in the U.S. Army. But that's just the beginning of his many accomplishments.

He's the founder of the renowned Bottleneck Distant Assistant Services firm, and his book "Quit Repeating Yourself" has become a must-read for entrepreneurs everywhere.

When he's not busy building his empire, you can find him on his beloved Harley Davidson, cruising through the countryside and taking in the invigorating effects of Uitwaaien – a Dutch practice that involves facing the wind to boost health and relieve stress.

He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.

He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.

I cannot thank the team at Bottleneck enough for their incredible support of our business. Their team has played a vital role in helping us staff our customer support and ensuring our customers were satisfied with our services. Their Distant Assistants were extremely helpful in answering inquiries promptly, handling complaints, and providing solutions to our customers' needs. Their professionalism, attention to detail, and communication skills are exceptional. Working with Bottleneck has been a fantastic experience, and I highly recommend their services to anyone needing a reliable and efficient virtual assistant, especially for customer support.

I started last March 24, 2021 as a Dedicated Distant Assistant and it was an awesome experience. In this new journey, as Security Administrator of Bottleneck Distant Assistants, I have been supported by the team, A LOT !!!! All help that I need, the whole team is there to support me. I know that there are a lot of room for improvements with my skills and what I know, but because of BNDA, I became equipped with all the weapons I need to conquer the daily challenges especially with my tasks. With BNDA, they will not just help you to aim high, but soar the skies!

Working with Bottleneck is not just having one or two assistants working alongside you. You have the support of the whole team behind them as well.

What an awesome business! Finally, a way to hire the RIGHT person for my administrative tasks and they are remote! No office space to consider, W2's, 1099's or payroll. Jaime and his team of remote workers are top-notch! I hired my first assistant in May. I recently suffered a motorcycle accident and it left me unable to work for 2 weeks. But my assistant stepped right in to guide our CEO on all matters financial. It’s so nice to have that stress eliminated from my life!
