PODCASTS HAPPEN. NOW MAKE YOURS.
I was a podcast fan for 15 years before I finally decided to take the plunge in 2020 (and what a year to start). After two years I am far from a success story, but I am heard in nearly 100 countries and 4,000 cities worldwide. And my numbers grow every year - I had a 50% bump in episode downloads in Year 2 and expect greater growth going forward.
More than a few people have asked, "How do you do it? Is it hard? How much does it cost? When can I expect to make money?" So rather than respond one at a time, I've decided to tackle the subject in a single episode (coming soon) and a companion eBook you can purchase now.
"Most people that I know are interested in on-demand stuff; podcasts are essentially audio Netflix." - Jordan Harbinger

“The stars will never align, and the traffic lights of life will never all be green at the same time. The universe doesn't conspire against you, but it doesn't go out of its way to line up the pins either. Conditions are never perfect. 'Someday' is a disease that will take your dreams to the grave with you. Pro-and-con lists are just as bad. If it's important to you and you want to do it 'eventually,' just do it and correct course along the way.” - Tim Ferriss
