The RV Entrepreneur

The RV Entrepreneur is a weekly interview program about the working side of the nomadic life. Its subject is money: how people make it, where it comes from, and what it costs to chase it while living in an RV. The audience it names is specific. Nomads, work campers, full-time RVers, remote workers, and people building a business from a place that keeps changing. Hosting rotates. Glenn Willard, Rose Willard and Jim Nelson each take weeks, and the handoff gives the series a slightly different temperature depending on who is asking. What stays constant is the method. A guest is asked to go back to the beginning, sometimes to a specific year, and the conversation follows the whole arc before narrowing to the lesson. The questions are simple and open on purpose. There is little adversarial pressure and a lot of light affirmation, which suits guests who need room to explain something technical. The range of businesses covered is wider than the title suggests. Heath Padgett walks through RV Help and mobile repair, including graduates of NRVTA who want to run their own shops, and the argument that certification is only half of a good service business while responsiveness and fair treatment of customers make up the rest. Tom DeWaard talks about a patented solar tracker that follows the sun through the day, and how that project led the team toward lithium batteries once they learned how much charge a panel wastes going into AGM. Mike To, who with his wife Tony founded M2 Video Productions and the RRV Sunsets channel, argues that clients are buying communication rather than pretty pictures, and tells a story about handing someone a kazoo to finish a spot. Jim and Jordan of Jimbo and Company unpack the logistics of moving RVs and what it is like to be in business with a sibling. One episode features the Typewriter Troubadour on poetry and eighteen years of living out of vehicles, and includes an honest exchange about how many people try the road for a summer or two and then return to what they had. Another traces the pitch that turned an unused block of Discovery airtime into a travel show shot from an RV, and how a five-person crew with a boom and a glider eventually shrank to something lean. Burnout comes up too, including a candid reflection on sprint-based building and wanting to quit. Sponsor spots and RV Life house promotions are woven through episodes. There is also a listener segment collecting short campfire stories and RVing tips by phone.
