  • #171 - Having Guests Lined Up For The Next Months Means NOTHING
    Oct 3 2025

    Are you mistaking motion for progress in your podcast? In this episode, I share why having months of guest interviews lined up isn’t the flex it seems. After hosting over 1,000 episodes, I’ve learned that a full calendar doesn’t always mean growth. I’ll walk you through the mistakes I’ve made, the lessons I’ve learned, and the strategies that actually help you build authority, attract listeners, and create income from your show. Hit play and hear the truth most podcasters don’t talk about.

    In today’s episode of Podcast Growth University, after recording thousands of episodes, I’ve narrowed it down to three game-changing reads that have shaped how I run my show. These aren’t the typical books on microphones or editing. They’re about building true influence, treating your podcast like a business, and staying consistent when most people quit. If you want your podcast to last and actually generate real income, this episode is where you start. Pick up these books, grow your podcast, and transform your future.

  • #169 - Would Your Science Teacher Be Proud Of Your Podcast?
    Sep 19 2025

    Growth is measured, not imagined. In this week’s episode, I share why I believe the most successful shows don’t rely on chance. Instead, they follow a process of testing, tracking, and measuring, just like a science experiment. Over the years and thousands of episodes, I’ve learned that intuition comes from data and that real growth happens when you stop guessing and start applying systems. If you’ve ever wondered why your show isn’t growing the way you want, or how top podcasters keep winning. I’ve got some answers you won’t want to miss.
