Do you want to travel more but think you don't have the money to do it? Do you stay home and watch Netflix because you think that is the only entertainment you can afford? Do you want to start a writing side hustle? Trent Modglin is the publisher, writer, and creator of three popular Chicago magazines. He talks to Deedre Daniel about:
🎙 How Deedre became a Florida State University alumnus without technically graduating from the institution.
🎙 How Trent turned his passion project (which was also a creative way to score free event tickets, restaurant meals, and beers) into a profitable business for 14 years.
🎙 His creative money-making solution when COVID-19 shut down his business.
🎙 The importance of learning new technical skills and how to sell yourself and your ideas.
🎙 How he heard “No” 27 times before he got to his first “Yes.”
🎙 The importance of cultivating real relationships to grow and sustain your business.
🎙 How Trent immersed himself into the Chicago micro-brewing universe.
🎙 Trent’s money-saving travel tips for you.
🎙 Why his wife slept with 16 other people during their honeymoon.
🎙 His “must do and see” ideas for you the next time you visit Chicago – including a small bar that serves the best deep-dish pizza.
This episode ends with some questions from The Very Interesting Game – some are brand new. One was written just before this podcast recording. Stick around to hear Trent’s funny answers.
Bio:
Trent is the Publisher of several magazines: The Real Park Ridge, Illinois Brewing, and The Real Chicago (currently on hiatus). He was a senior editor at Pro Football weekly. He is a proud Florida State alum who still gets more nervous on football Saturdays than he should. He is also a semi-patient herder of cats – because he coaches 3rd grade flag football and basketball so he can spend more time with his cute son, Owen.
