RESET with Joel Comm

What happens when the thing you built becomes the thing that drains you? Cliff Ravenscraft (the original Podcast Answer Man) shares the real story behind his biggest pivots: walking away from a $750K/year business, rebuilding with workshops and masterminds, getting hit by COVID when the “top of funnel” disappeared, and then taking a personal leap that cost him $70,000 in clients in jus...

This isn’t a how-to episode. There are no five steps. No...

What does a life well lived actually look like?

In July 1995, I launched my first website — WorldVillage.com — one of the earliest family-friendly destinations for software reviews, games, and educational content. Built on curiosity and a love for the web, WorldVillage became one of the first 20,000 sites ever created. Within a year, we had nearly a million visitors. But as the years passed and the Internet evolved, the site faded i...

What if your biggest opportunity is something you can’t see yet ? In this episode, I share a story that changed the course of my life — the moment someone else spotted potential in me that I couldn’t see myself. Back in college, I loved music but never thought about being on the radio. Until one day, my stepmom said a single sentence that opened a whole new path: “Why don&r...

Before I ever had a website, I was already running what I like to call my first “Internet” business — years before most people had even heard of the Internet. It started with an idea: a one-man software review magazine for the Dallas/Fort Worth area. I wrote it, designed it in Aldus PageMaker, printed it, and bundled it with floppy disks full of shareware and games. Then my buddy...

I’ve been making videos online for two decades. My first YouTube video posted in 2006. And for quite some time I posted candid videos designed to speak directly to my audience.

So now I’m not sho...
