I wish I could just do interviews without writing the stories, but there was no medium for that. And then I listened to podcasts, and I loved Tim Ferriss's show, but I'd always wished he'd interviewed more women and talked about adventure because that's my love language.”“I think surfing is just a really unique activity. It demands you to be present, demands you to go with the flow. And you're never going to be that good at it unless you're really lucky.”“I used to think you needed to claw your way up a mountain and no, let go and surrender to the elements and the forces around you. If it's meant to happen, it will. You just have to have a little bit more grace. So that's probably the biggest thing I've changed my mind about, like, not efforting as much, more like going with the flow.

Of course every organization has a purpose, but we actually believe it. We really believe that we are privileged with the position and the resources made available to us and that with that privilege comes responsibilities. And our responsibility is to educate leaders to make a difference in the world. And it’s something that we take very seriously.” (10:38) (Ranjay)“My world and how I grew up is a very important part of who I am. I learned about business from watching my mother. My mother was building a business while I was a kid. I got to watch from my living room - where she ran the business from - how a business gets started.” (17:58) (Ranjay)“I was very fortunate to have amazing sets of advisors for my doctoral research.

Episode SummaryDr. Melvin Varghese is a licensed psychologist who realized that he wanted more than the traditional career route. Not wanting to simply fit his family, health and hobbies around his career, he instead built a career around those pillars. Dr. Melvin transformed his wildly successful podcast and blog, Selling the Couch, into a podcasting course for therapists who wanted to share their big messages with the world. Today, Harry and Dr. Melvin talk about the concept of ‘enough,’ the four-day work week, and the importance of fostering creativity, especially as an entrepreneur.

I started interviewing successful practitioners about how they built their businesses. I started interviewing therapists about how they started creating income beyond the therapy room.” (29:04) (Dr. Melvin)“I think the most I’ve grown [as a podcast host] is just letting my personality and my imperfections shine.” (35:58) (Dr. Melvin)“It’s when I narrowed it down to therapists, but even ‘therapists’ was not niched enough for my course.

It was my second time going to Podcast Movement. This time I really got into the business side of podcasting, the industry stuff.” (07:34) (Diania)“At the time, I wasn’t really looking at myself as a content creator. I was looking at myself as highlighting other content creators and giving them a literal stage to share their message.” (18:57) (Diania)“I really wanted to create something that would create that feeling for people, but specifically for money. Money is an incredible tool that you can use to build the life of your dreams.” (23:47) (Diania)“When you first discover the FIRE Movement, it’s super exciting. You start reducing all your expenses, increasing your income, and coming up with your investment strategy. But about five to seven years in, you kinda get bored. And it takes anywhere from five to twenty years to reach financial independence.” (41:23) (Diania)“There’s actually a skillset that comes from reading out loud. We all had to do it when we were kids in school, right? I just remember being super nervous to mess up or say a word wrong. But now, after hundreds of episodes of just reading, it just comes a lot more naturally to me.

Episode SummaryNick Loper is the Founder and Chief Side-Hustler at Side Hustle Nation, a community of like minded and hard working individuals who are looking to make extra money and build businesses. Today, Nick joins the show to discuss where his entrepreneurial spirit came from, why he wants to pass the lesson of working for freedom down to his children, and the valuable lessons he’s learned from failure.

It’s still a hurdle to get somebody from stranger to listener. They gotta find their podcast app. They gotta search for your specific show. They gotta scroll down to the specific episode you’re talking about. They gotta find a forty-five minute gap in their day to actually tune in. It’s a big ask and so the hook for that has got to be really compelling.” (22:36) (Nick)“Side Hustle Nation is a show that people hopefully graduate out of at some point, where they find their idea and then they go off and do that thing.” (24:58) (Nick)“A podcast by itself is not a business. It can be a perfectly viable content marketing arm for a business. And shifting that was a huge inflection point. And what that looked like in practice, in my case, was creating episode-specific lead magnets.” (33:02) (Nick)“Fatherhood has softened me in a lot of ways. And it’s aged me horribly in a lot of ways. They just know how to push your buttons. But, at the same time, it’s super rewarding to watch them learn, and grow, and sponge up the world around them.” (48:14) (Nick)“Along those notes of dealing with failure, the big thing is positioning any new project in your mind as an experiment. I find, for me, that that really softens the blow of the inevitable failures that come along the way.” (1:00:41) (Nick)Resources MentionedNick’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickloper/Nick’s Twitter – https://twitter.com/nloperNick’s Podcast – https://www.sidehustlenation.com/side-hustle-show/Nick’s Website – https://www.sidehustlenation.com/Nick’s TEDx Talk – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDSWqeqaEkwSide Hustle Nation Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/groups/sidehustlenationSide Hustle Nation YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/nickloperPodcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkiesPodcast Junkies Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast_junkiesPodcast Junkies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkiesThe Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Podcast Index, Value4Value & NewPodcastApps: https://podcastindex.org/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCastDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/

She’s the Co-Founder of the Mind Body Spirit Podcast Network, a platform for content creators in spirituality, health and wellness, metaphysics and personal growth.

It just brought me further onto my path...Dr. Wayne Dyer would come and do the show and just talk to people from all over the world. And I would listen to everything he told them and I learned so many lessons: How to pay attention to how you think, and things that you tell yourself, and the people you surround yourself with.” (24:35) (Diane)“That’s what we’re trying to share with the podcasters that are gathering on MindBodySpirit.fm is to give people a place to come to share their stories and their message. And the content that we’re gathering in this space is so needed right now because really we’re living in a dystopian nightmare right now.” (29:18) (Diane)“I remember seeing this back in my HayHouse days where people would say, ‘Oh, I speak all the time. I can do a radio show no problem.’ It’s a lot different when you’re alone in front of a microphone than when you’re getting this love from people in a live audience. It’s a very different scenario.” (41:12) (Diane)“I always tell people consistency is key. If you’re just gonna be randomly putting stuff out there, it’s just not gonna get any traction.” (49:31) (Diane)“As divided as we seem today, we really are connected. I really believe that we are connected and we do touch people in so many ways. And so the more positively you can touch someone somehow in their life, the better. It can be a small thing like buying someone a coffee.” (1:02:50) (Diane)Resources MentionedDiane’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/diane-ray-a8b4881b/Diane’s Website – https://dianeraymedia.com/Diane’s Twitter – https://twitter.com/DianeRay1Diane’s Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/diane.depasquale.3Mind Body Spirit Website – https://mindbodyspirit.fm/Mind Body Spirit Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/mindbodyspiritfm/Mind Body Spirit Twitter – https://twitter.com/MBS_fm_podcastsMind Body Spirit Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/mindbodyspirit.fm/Megaphone – https://megaphone.spotify.com/Podcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkiesPodcast Junkies Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast_junkiesPodcast Junkies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkiesThe Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Podcast Index, Value4Value & NewPodcastApps: https://podcastindex.org/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCastDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/

So making sure that your team members are all taken care of isn’t always the easiest. I think one of the observations I’ve had recently is that we’re still a small company. And so when you hire really talented employees - if they’re ambitious and they’re looking to grow - they’re only going to be happy in that role for a year maybe. And then they’ve outgrown that role and there isn’t anywhere else for me to put them.” (10:56) (Heather)“I love content creation. I love speaking. I really want, personally, to grow my thought leadership within the industry. And I can’t do all of those things when I’m managing every single team member.” (15:05) (Heather)“In terms of the trends, I think that we’ve seen so much consolidation. Podcasting was created to be this very open source environment and we’ve had so many large companies coming in and doing so much consolidation. There’s a lot of conversations right now about how these bigger companies - Spotify in particular - is really influencing the industry. I think that has been fairly significant. I do think it will be interesting to see how this recession/slowdown period in our economy is gonna impact that, if we see less acquisitions happen.” (25:19) (Heather)“Every medium is gonna have an audience that they reach strongly that is going to bring a certain type of customer. And, what advertisers tend to see with podcast advertising, in particular in podcast audiences, is the audiences tend to be early adopters, people who want to buy the newest thing out there. They tend to be higher income earners. They tend to be more educated. So those buyers are gonna be different." (33:42) (Heather)“We’re really doing things in a very high-touch way right now. I want to make sure that the podcasts that we’re selling are in a good place. I want to make sure that I understand the buyers. Right now it is in a very high-touch place, so I would say that on the roadmap certainly is growing to a place where it is a much more transactional platform.” (47:26) (Heather)“I would say that if there was one thing that I’ve learned in my career is that it really all does boil down to relationships.” (51:14) (Heather)Resources MentionedHeather’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/podcastadvertising/True Native Media – https://truenativemedia.com/True Native Media Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/podcastadagencyTrue Native Media Twitter – https://twitter.com/truenativemediaPodcast Advertising Playbook – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/podcast-advertising-playbook/id1473222248The Podcast Broker – https://www.thepodcastbroker.com/Podcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkiesPodcast Junkies Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast_junkiesPodcast Junkies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkiesThe Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Podcast Index, Value4Value & NewPodcastApps: https://podcastindex.org/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCastDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/

So there are no bills to print or coins to make. It’s decentralized and there is no government or institution like a bank or any other authority that controls it. So, it’s really all up to the users of the network and how this network evolves.” (11:00) (Moritz)“If you compare gold to Bitcoin, then you have a lot of the same properties. Both have a limited supply. But the downside of gold is it’s very hard to transport. It’s very hard to validate if it’s real gold. When it comes to Bitcoin, it’s super simple to store. It’s super simple to transport and it’s very easy also to validate.” (13:54) (Moritz)“So, we started off as a Bitcoin Lightning wallet because of the reason that you said that there is no native monetization of information on the web; it’s still separated. There is Paypal on the one side and then there is the exchange of information on the other side. But they don’t go together. It’s too expensive to make these payments through the web. And that’s why we started Alby where our mission is to make these payments accessible for everyone.” (22:17) (Moritz)“We are taking big steps in terms of user experience here [at Alby] and making it easier and easier and easier for podcasters to get started.” (35:07) (Moritz)“You have to put some effort in it, but it’s very rewarding when you see the first payments come through and when you see people paying you on a permanent basis.” (45:23) (Moritz)Resources MentionedAlby – https://getalby.com/Alby Twitter – https://twitter.com/getalbyAlby Telegram – https://t.me/getAlbyAlby Github – https://github.com/getAlbyMoritz’s Twitter – https://twitter.com/moritzkaminski?lang=enMoritz’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/moritz-kaminski-63bb2826/Podcasting2.0 – https://podcastindex.org/Podcast Movement – https://2022.podcastmovement.com/Bitcoin Website – https://bitcoin.org/en/Alby Podcaster Wallet – https://getalby.com/podcast-walletThe Lightning Network – https://lightning.network/Podcaster Wallet – https://podcasterwallet.com/Podcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkiesPodcast Junkies Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast_junkiesPodcast Junkies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkiesThe Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Podcast Index, Value4Value & NewPodcastApps: https://podcastindex.org/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCastDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/

It just means receiving information from the non-physical realm.” (19:06) (Laura)“It’s important not to judge. I don’t expect people to have the beliefs that I have because they don’t see the world the way that I do. They literally don’t see ghosts and spirits. They don’t see angels. And that’s ok. You believe what you believe and as long as you don’t attack me, we’re good.” (26:14) (Laura)“I remember when I shifted from my 3D awareness into more expansion and I literally felt like I was dying inside; it’s like having this ego death. It’s often very intense for people. So, if you’re going through that just know you’re not alone and you will be ok.” (35:21) (Laura)“I also saw very quickly that podcasting was being recognized as major media. When I first started it wasn’t, but it grew and it shifted.” (46:34) (Laura)“I also am a big believer in entertainment as an education tool.

Today, Harry and Jeremy discuss Jeremy’s passion for writing and creating content, what separates a consistent show with a growing, successful one and the value of pursuing a niche and narrow audience.Episode SponsorFullCast – https://fullcast.co/Key Takeaways06:25 – Founder of Podcast Marketing Academy, Jeremy Enns joins the show to share his plans for moving to Portugal as well as his passion for audio, music and photography13:13 – The ‘Wildman’23:01 – Content creation, Jeremy’s podcasting origin story and overcoming Imposter Syndrome as an entrepreneur34:14 – Jeremy reflects on returning to his love of writing41:04 – How Jeremy plans and maps out his content49:17 – The decision to begin curating courses54:16 – What separates a consistent show with a growing, successful show1:03:05 – The value of going narrower and pursuing niche audiences1:13:51 – Something Jeremy has changed his mind about recently1:19:07 – Harry thanks Jeremy for joining the show and lets listeners know where they can go to connect with him and learn more about Podcast Marketing AcademyTweetable Quotes“I think I read some stat recently that per capita more Canadians listen to podcasts than Americans do now.” (09:58) (Jeremy)“It’s interesting when I look back at especially my lack of a corporate career history, I’m very aware of both the pros and cons. A lot of people I’ve talked to get conditioned where it’s very hard to go off on your own path because you’ve just worked so long in a structure. I didn’t have any of that baggage, but one of the interesting things that I’ve always thought is that everyone has some sort of Imposter Syndrome. But I don’t know that you can get to this without going through it.” (27:31) (Jeremy)“You hear a lot of people who write regularly talk about how writing really clarifies your own thinking. That, for me, was the case where I thought, ‘At this point, I don’t even care if anybody ever reads anything I write. It’s so valuable to me personally just to keep writing because it was structuring my thoughts.’” (35:37) (Jeremy)“I tend to skew to the philosophical, higher-level strategy side of things than tactical side. But, I’ve also recognized that it’s a lot harder to market and sell vague, philosophical things even if there’s value to it and people like it.” (43:56) (Jeremy)“I think a lot of times it actually comes back to how specific you are about the person that you’re actually trying to reach. Everybody, I’m sure who’s listened to hundreds of episodes of your shows, has heard before that if you create a show for everybody, it’s for nobody. We don’t want to believe that, but it’s the truth.” (55:32) (Jeremy)“For many audiences and many niches, the narrower you go, the more you can potentially charge sponsors. And, people don’t really think of it that way.” (1:05:48) (Jeremy)Resources MentionedJeremy’s Website & Links – https://counterweightcreative.co/junkies/Podcast Marketing Academy – https://counterweightcreative.co/podcast-marketing-academy/Podcast Marketing Academy Twitter – https://twitter.com/PodGrowthSchoolJeremy’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-enns/Jeremy’s Twitter – https://twitter.com/iamjeremyennsSeth Godin’s Blog – https://seths.blog/Tiago Forte’s PARA Method – https://fortelabs.co/blog/para/August Bradley’s YouTube Channel – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfqj2oq6LVmR3ybC2nfjqKgJay Clouse Newsletter – https://jayclouse.com/newsletter/The Reminiscent Podcast – https://www.reminiscentpodcast.com/Books Mentioned:Abundance – https://www.amazon.com/Abundance-Future-Better-Than-Think/dp/1451614217Make Noise – https://www.amazon.com/Make-NoisePodcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkiesPodcast Junkies Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast_junkiesPodcast Junkies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkiesThe Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Podcast Index, Value4Value & NewPodcastApps: https://podcastindex.org/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCastDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/

You can’t see it, but it’s there. And you know it’s there. There’s such a depth to this human experience. And to just get caught up in the day-to-day news cycle is so superficial. And again, everyone is on their journey, and all the phases of the journey are good.” (18:37) (Chris)“Our bodies are what they are. Our soul is pure; it’s part of God. So, our soul is what it is. Our body is what it is. So, the mind is the only thing that we can change, or manipulate, or massage, or improve, or regulate.” (23:09) (Chris)“If you don’t regulate your mind, what happens is your mind runs rampant. You should be the master of your mind. Your mind should not be the master of you.” (27:34) (Chris)“Here’s part of the problem. I’m a professional in the audio and recording industry.

And that’s what I’ve been doing ever since.” (10:55) (Majeed)“I think it’s a testament to the power of the individual’s voice and the platforms we have available to us to broadcast that one man [Joe Rogan] can be more powerful than I’m assuming many of the major networks combined.” (22:15) (Majeed)“Really what I am certain of is the fact that each person that I’ve interviewed has a deeper relationship. I’m gonna interview someone or speak to someone’s group, that’s the beginning of a lifelong partnership, ideally.

You’re the Divine. You are in the seat of the Creator. What are you gonna do with it? And, because you are the Creator, who you are is intrinsically evolution. So you are the whole and you are separate.” (16:39) (Cate)“If we actually look at the habits of modern culture - or what I call conventional culture - the habits of conventional culture leads to chronic inflammation which leads to chronic disease which is the number one killer worldwide.” (24:48) (Cate)“The people who are already turned on got more turned on. There are a few people who are getting turned on who got more turned on. The problem was that the narrative in the media globally was the message that you’re the victim of a virus, which is largely known as Germ Theory.” (30:39) (Cate)“These habits that re-wild us are the ones that really turn on our physiology and our neuroplasticity. They’re called positive stressor habits. Not all stress is the same. Some stress is when you do the hard thing and that hard thing makes you smarter and more able to do hard things in your life, which really changes the outlook of your future.” (44:39) (Cate)“Urine therapy goes way back. The Buddha talked about it. It’s in the three main ancient Ayurvedic texts from about 2,000 years ago.

We are self-deprecating, sarcastic and we drink like a fish.” (12:10) (Sam)“The businesses I did after came about by chance. I sold a business to Topshop, which is a female clothing retailer aimed at teenagers in the UK. It came out of my daughter's need to find cheap clothing from her budget that we gave her. She was trying to maximize her budget and I thought, ‘I can write a real-time pricing tracker for her.’ So, I did. And out of that came another business.” (32:39) (Sam)“We’re not a music radio station. We’re more of a talk radio station. We have shows on wine, parenting, books. So, we don’t expect someone to listen seven to seven. They dip in and dip out. It means we can build communities and tribes within each show.” (39:05) (Sam)“I get bored quickly.

I don’t have a thousand business ideas. I have lived experience. And I lived as a B2B marketer for fifteen years. I’ve seen it from every angle. I’ve seen things go well and things not go well. I’ve seen the shiny new objects, the new platforms and the new channels. The one thing that’s always been true to me is human connection. So it was that that innately told me that podcasting and video are good.” (14:17) (Lindsay) “We integrate with different CRMs, different CMS, with different marketing automation platforms with the B2B marketer in mind. Where are they working now? Where are their teams working? What are they already using that we need to flow into, pull from, push to to make their lives easier and help them get maximum value out of the creative work they’re doing?” (26:30) (Lindsay) “You need to slow down in order to generate better results. You need to focus on creating really great content, which is probably going to come at the cost of quantity. Better quality, even if it comes at the cost of quantity, can make it really good. But then that’s where this approach of amplification comes into play. Take the time to get really intentional about creating something meaningful.” (28:41) (Lindsay) “It’s not just about the show, it’s about what was said. It’s about everything in it. It’s about the content that’s there. And then, that’s where you get to get really creative as a marketer around what else am I gonna do with it. How am I gonna use it in lots of different ways to build those connections?” (36:09) (Lindsay) “One thing that I’ve been advocating for and that we at Casted have been advocating for is that podcasting should be the center [of your marketing strategy]. Your podcast should be the middle and your audio and video content should be the nucleus of everything else you’re doing and we’re starting to see that.” (51:56) (Lindsay)Resources MentionedPodfest Expo Virtual Summit – https://podfestexpo.com/Podcast Index Social Mastodon – https://podcastindex.social/about Podcasting 2.0 Podcast – https://podnews.net/podcast/i4ji5 PodNews – https://podnews.net/ Podtrac – http://analytics.podtrac.com/ Chartable – https://chartable.com/ Lindsay’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsaytjepkema/ Casted on Twitter - https://twitter.com/gocastedLindsay’s Website – https://www.casted.us/?hsLang=enCasted – https://www.casted.us/?hsLang=enLindsay’s Podcasts:The Casted Podcast – https://podcast.casted.us/public/5/The-Casted-Podcast-52134 Casting A Vision Podcast – https://www.audible.com/pd/Podcast/B08K56YYJ4 Podcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkiesPodcast Junkies Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast_junkiesPodcast Junkies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkiesThe Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Podcast Index, Value4Value & NewPodcastApps: https://podcastindex.org/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCastDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/

Episode SummaryMathew Passy is a professional podcast consultant. Actually, he’s The Podcast Consultant who helps brands, small businesses and individuals use podcasts and podcast advertising to connect with smart and engaged audiences. Today, Mathew and Harry engage in a dialogue about Mathew’s background in audio and why there’s still a major competition between the radio and podcasting industries.

You just have to be smart, savvy, committed and confident.” (18:06) (Mathew)“I always found podcasting interesting because it’s basically the same thing [as radio] but without the restrictions of Broadcasting, and the FCC, and time limits, and all that nonsense.” (26:43) (Mathew)“The problem is people in radio think that radio is the end all be all, the same way that people in broadcast television think that broadcast television is the end all be all. And what they don’t understand is that it’s not about the technology or the delivery system.” (35:06) (Mathew)“I’m a big fan of the idea of localized content.

Episode SummaryBrenden Mulligan is an entrepreneur who cut his teeth in the music industry before going on to become co-founder of startups such as Onesheet, Cluster Labs, LaunchKit, Elevate, and PodPage, to name a few. Brenden shares these experiences on today’s episode and speaks to his passion for problem-solving and building products that customers love. Brenden and Harry discuss Brenden’s time at Google, what he has learned from multiple startup exits, and the current trajectory and state of the podcast industry.Episode SponsorFullCast – https://fullcast.co/Key Takeaways06:32 – Brenden Mulligan shares his experience in the ‘traditional’ music industry and what inspired him to make a career shift to tech13:37 – Building the dashboard, Artist Data20:01 – An entrepreneurial mindset and launching multiple products24:38 – Life at Google, Frontline Foods and Elevate29:24 – The origin of PodPage and the most interesting thing Brenden has learned from the podcast industry38:58 – The importance of SEO (Search Optimization Engine)46:01 – Value for value49:10 – Brenden speaks to the results of ramping up his marketing efforts55:29 – Something Brenden has changed his mind about recently and the most misunderstood thing about him57:12 – Harry thanks Brenden for joining the show and let’s listeners know where they can connect with him and learn more about PodPageTweetable Quotes“What I started hearing and seeing and experiencing was, as the digital music world was growing, how hard it was for musicians to interact with it. And so, I ended up leaving the traditional music industry to build software tools for musicians.” (08:07) (Brenden)“I would be speaking at these music conferences and the drum that we would beat was, ‘Direct connection with your listeners. Do not go through platforms as your only way of reaching them.’ Okay, what’s the best way to do direct connection? Email us, put it on your website. How do I build a website? And so I ended up building OneSheet, which was a turnkey website builder for musicians.” (21:19) (Brenden)“I launched, I think, twelve companies, and all of them failed, except PodPage. Most of them didn’t even have a shot to succeed. I just gave myself the total flexibility to just have fun building again and get that muscle back. And I also helped other startups just as a fun way of networking and getting back in the startup world.” (29:03) (Brenden)“In my opinion, Spotify is the only player in the entire podcasting space that are trying to break what’s special about podcasts. Spotify is actively trying to get you to not allow other people to listen unless you listen on Spotify.” (44:05) (Brenden)“The way that we typically work is we try as hard as possible to use third-party tools that are solving a problem really well. I really want to focus on just building the best website. That’s it.” (47:31) (Brenden)“Organic growth and podcasters selling podcasters is by far our best source of new customers.” (53:12) (Brenden)Resources MentionedPodcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkiesPodcast Junkies Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast_junkiesPodcast Junkies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkiesThe Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Podcast Index, Value4Value & NewPodcastApps: https://podcastindex.org/Brenden’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/mulligan/Brenden’s Website – https://brendenmulligan.com/Link to Cluster Labs – https://clusterlabs.org/Link to PodPage – https://www.podpage.com/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCastDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/

Episode SummaryDave Jones is the co-host of Podcasting 2.0 and co-founder (along with Adam Curry) of PodcastIndex.org, a podcast indexing service that empowers podcasters, app creators, developers and listeners to engage in value for value exchanges.Dave has an extensive background in systems administration and building software. Today, Dave and Harry discuss the origin story of PodcastIndex.org, the role that cryptocurrency plays, and the reason he and Adam Curry designed it as a decentralized service. Dave expounds on the importance of podcasters requesting a value exchange from their listeners and explains why the progression of technology has come at a major price.  Episode SponsorFullCast – https://fullcast.co/Key Takeaways04:19 – Dave Jones joins the podcast to discuss his background as a developer and podcaster 18:28 – Dave recalls where his fascination with technology came from 22:35 – Understanding Programming 29:40 – Assembly language, explained  35:45 – The origin story of PodcastIndex.org 45:31 – Designing a decentralized service 57:16 – Value for Value exchanges 59:06 – Harry takes a moment to ask any listeners who have gotten value out of this show to return some value 1:00:01 – What excites Dave most about the future 1:05:55 – Something Dave has changed his mind about recently and the most misunderstood thing about him 1:12:52 – Harry thanks Dave for joining the show and let’s listeners know where they can connect with him and learn more about Podcast Index  Tweetable Quotes“I think, as a general rule, people typically know if they love Programming by the time they’re about twenty, at the most.” (23:04) (Dave) “The biggest hurdle to overcome with podcast apps, and writing one, is that you have to potentially monitor and request data from millions of feeds. So, you have to be constantly tracking what is going on with these millions of feeds and it’s not an easy process.” (37:23) (Dave) “We need to have a hand in creating an alternative so that podcast app developers don’t have to spend so much time and hundreds of dollars to get up and running.” (42:47) (Dave) “That’s a real concern in the world today. There’s real free flow of information being cut off from despot regimes. So, it’s not just about, ‘Can Dave get his latest episode of Podcast Junkies?’ It’s about, ‘Can somebody who is living under a terrible regime somewhere in the world get access to truthful news that they may not otherwise be able to get to.” (49:44) (Dave) “If the host doesn’t tell the listener at the end, ‘Hey, if you got any value out of this, can you please return me some value?’ If you don’t take that extra step, it doesn’t matter what your payment platform is, you’re not gonna be successful.” (58:26) (Dave) “I think the power to change our mind is one of the things that makes us human. It may be one of the most defining characteristics of being human, is the ability to change your mind about something. And if you don’t, I feel like you’re not living up to full human potential.” (1:06:07) (Dave) “The progression of technology is not really progress. In a lot of ways, that progress also brings a drawback. For every benefit, there has been a resultant negative. I think that we’re in a Catch-22 as a society where we are having to actively sacrifice things on the altar of technological advancement. And I don’t think that it’s a net positive.” (1:12:17) (Dave) Resources MentionedLink to Podfest – https://podfestexpo.com/Link to The Podosphere – https://www.thepodosphere.com/Link to Podcast Index Social Mastodon – https://podcastindex.social/about Podcasting 2.0 Podcast – https://podnews.net/podcast/i4ji5 Link to Podcast Index – https://podcastindex.org/ Podcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkiesPodcast Junkies Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast_junkiesPodcast Junkies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkiesThe Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Podcast Index, Value4Value & NewPodcastApps: https://podcastindex.org/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCastDiscover the best podcast services in the world at The Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/
