The Smart Passive Income Podcast kicks off 2017 with a very special episode I know you’re going to love. Joining me today are Eric Nordhoff and James Frazier, two guys who’ve built an astonishingly successful brand called The Walker Stalkers.
Eric and James have created a fan-driven business empire around their love of the hit AMC show, The Walking Dead. If you’re wondering, “How could you possibly turn a profit off being a super-fan?,” stick around—Eric and James are about to tell you how it’s done.
The Walker Stalkers brand has grown from a low-budget podcast to a booming franchise that includes eighteen annual conventions, a cruise, and a worldwide community of fans. Through their passion and sincerity, Eric and James have built a massive following—with combined annual attendance passing San Diego Comic-Con.
It’s an amazing example of what happens when you dream big, and how even the smallest idea can attract life-changing opportunities.
Listen in to hear more on how these entrepreneurs built their brand doing what they love.
Thanks for Listening!
