Ben Arnot on Digital Hospitality | Episode 104
Ben Arnot is everywhere it seems.

As the host of the Smoking Hot Confessions BBQ podcast and one-half of the husband-and-wife Meat N Fire Media Services company, Ben’s online engagement spans time zones, platforms, and language barriers.

However, during the pandemic, he was stuck at home like everyone else.

Sadly, it wasn’t all good at home.

“We hired this guy for a $15,000 job on our house and he was a complete con man,” recalls Ben Arnot on the Cali BBQ Media podcast.
“It turned into a $50,000 job. We had to hire someone else to redo everything that he'd done.”
Down on cash and with the world quickly put on pause, Ben and his wife Bree Arnot had an extremely difficult call to make.

“We were in this situation of staring down the barrel of this giant mortgage and going, ‘OK, we either sell the house and move back in with my dad and try and find jobs somewhere else,’” begins Ben, “‘or we back ourselves, take stock of what we’ve got, see what can we do with it and double-down on ourselves.’”

 
Arnot Family Goes All-In on Digital Skills:
As you can guess by the people we have on this show, you already know what Ben did.

Doubling-down on the work skills of him and his wife, they went full force into creating content and providing digital services.

“I built this home studio that I'm sitting in now,” shares Ben Arnot. “And I started to do a bunch of different stuff while we were all in lockdown because we have quite a sizable community on Facebook.”
