72. Why Mission Matters More Than Money in Podcasting with Roy Coughlan

In this episode, I speak with Roy Coughlan, a serial entrepreneur whose journey from childhood business ventures to podcasting success offers valuable insights for content creators. Roy founded his first company at age 9 and went on to establish over 20 businesses across five countries before experiencing significant financial setbacks in real estate. Rather than being deterred, he channeled this adversity into building a podcasting portfolio of six shows that now rank in the top 1.5% globally, with over 1,500 episodes produced. Roy shares his systematic approach to podcast quality, the importance of analytics-driven decision making, and his philosophy of prioritizing mission over monetization. He also discusses overcoming public speaking challenges and his commitment to using media platforms to expose fraud while providing constructive solutions. This conversation provides practical frameworks for anyone serious about building sustainable success in podcasting.☕ Ready to take your podcast from idea to impact?Book a Coffee Chat with me!

48. Are You Just Hosting a Show… or Building a Platform?

In this episode, I’m diving deep into a conversation I’ve been holding in my heart for a while — the real difference between having a podcast and owning a platform.

I’m sharing what I’ve learned about shifting from “just recording episodes” to intentionally building something that lasts — from your content strategy, to how you repurpose, to how your show connects with your greater mission.
