For the past few years I’ve been a huge fan of PodPage. I even had the Founder, Brenden Mulligan on Episode 291:

Brenden recently brought the one and only Dave Jackson on to the team and I was grateful to have Dave back on for a deep and thorough dive of ALL the PodPage features, screen by screen.

If you’ve been struggling to build a page for your show, this will show you the power of this all-inclusive this tool. Forget Wordpress, SquareSpace, WIX, those are great for general websites, but not ideal for podcasting.

PodPage is built from the ground up for podcasters who are serious about their show!

In 2020 I launched a brand new podcast in an industry with ZERO visibility.

Since then it has generated over $100,000 in sponsorship revenue and my sponsors have flown me to conferences in Dubai and Germany.

I was invited to speak on stage at the world’s largest podcast conference, where I shared the EXACT strategy I used to successfully launch and grow this show to #1 in its industry.

I’m sharing the presentation, slides and key takeaways, so that more aspiring podcasters understand the importance of niching down and not being dependent on CPM (aka downloads) as the only source of revenue.

There is another path.

In 30 minutes you’ll learn EXACTLY how to:

👉 Identify Your Niche & Target Audience
👉 Position Your Podcast Strategically
👉 Research & Build a Database of Potential Sponsors
👉 Create a Sponsorship Media Kit
👉 Leverage SEO & Visibility
👉 Build Relationships Before Launching
👉 Pitch Sponsors Confidently
👉 Overdeliver for Sponsors

I’ve shared these strategies with my paid clients, but this needs to be seen by a bigger audience.

01/10/2024

I overthink way too much when it comes to socials.

9 out of 10 times I’m COMPLETELY in my head and overthink what to say.

Yes, I’m practicing becoming more vulnerable.

Yes, that s**t ain’t easy.

Yes, my fear is coming across as performative.

All these thoughts (and many more) are continuously rattling around in my head.

That’s the first problem. I’m in my brain, when I SHOULD be in my heart. I'm overthinking 'authenticl'.

I was re-watching a James Kemp coaching session from earlier this year. In it, he shared that years ago, he fell into the trap of posting what he thought people WANTED to hear.

Since moving to this new, more authentic style, he’s had tremendous success and built an offer that has generated $1M in revenue (probably much more by now).

Mind you, his business is just him and an assistant. Very impressive. (yes, 🤯)

In the training, one of the attendees asked whether he should tone down his self-deprecating humor in his posts.

James provided a wonderful response:

𝐼𝑓 𝑦𝑜𝑢’𝑟𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑦𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡𝑜 𝑚𝑎𝑛𝑖𝑝𝑢𝑙𝑎𝑡𝑒 𝑝𝑒𝑜𝑝𝑙𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒𝑙𝑖𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢’𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑠𝑒𝑙𝑓-𝑑𝑒𝑝𝑟𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑛𝑔, 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑝𝑖𝑐𝑘 𝑢𝑝 𝑜𝑛 𝑖𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑓𝑎𝑐𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑦𝑜𝑢’𝑟𝑒 𝑛𝑜𝑡 𝑡𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑡𝑟𝑢𝑡ℎ.

𝐵𝑒𝑐𝑎𝑢𝑠𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑦 𝑑𝑜𝑛’𝑡 𝑠𝑒𝑒 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑟𝑒𝑎𝑙 𝑦𝑜𝑢.

🤯 Dayummm.

He went on to say:

𝐴𝑢𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑐𝑖𝑡𝑦 𝐼𝑆.

𝐼𝑡’𝑠 𝑏𝑖𝑛𝑎𝑟𝑦. 𝐼𝑡 𝑒𝑖𝑡ℎ𝑒𝑟 𝑖𝑠 𝑜𝑟 𝑖𝑡 𝑖𝑠𝑛’𝑡.

🤯 Ooooffff.

I’m telling you, this training was bonkers good.

This made me immediately think of how I present myself on my 2 shows.

When I started Podcast Junkies in 2014 I was pretty intimidated by my early guests and I’m sure if I listen back, the cringe factor is high. After 10 years and 350+ episodes, I now feel like I'm more myself with these conversations.

With my 2nd show, Vertical Farming Podcast, even though I interview CEOs and Founders, all that interview experience with Podcast Junkies has made me much more comfortable 1:1.

My goal with these shows is always to make the conversation engaging for both my guest AND the listener. It’s a fine balance for sure.

Current and aspiring podcast hosts, please don’t forget this.

There nothing more authentic than you being the same way, whether you’re home with family and friends, online, or interviewing a guest on your show.

It’s SO much less work to just be who you are, rather than trying to be someone you’re not. You know EXACTLY what authentic sounds like.

Comment below if you’ve ever heard a host share a personal story and thought ‘I can totally relate to that.’

That’s magical.

When hosts are honest, we don’t just listen, we connect.

Authenticity builds trust.

Trust builds a community.

Coming back full circle to James’ response:

AUTHENTICITY IS.

Keep that in mind next time you hit record.

Tammy turned the tables on me!

From my early days as a bank teller to becoming a leading voice in the podcasting industry, my journey has been far from linear. In my chatting with Tammy Gooler Loeb on her wonderful show 'Work from the Inside Out', I opened up about the twists and turns that led me here.

📈 I’ve worn many hats—bank teller, mobile app creator, construction GM, customer service reporting manager, entrepreneur, and yes DJ—but the common thread through it all was my passion for technology and storytelling.

When I launched Podcast Junkies in 2014, little did I know that moment would be the spark that would eventually lead to founding FullCast, launching over 120 podcasts for our clients, and diving into the world of vertical farming with my second show, Vertical Farming Podcast.

As Tammy and I discussed, it’s easy to get lost following paths set by others.

True fulfillment comes when we start working from the 'inside out'—trusting our instincts, embracing our passions, and taking ownership of our own story. That's not to say it hasn't been without it's challenges, but it has been tremendously fulfilling.

🎧 Tune in to this episode where we dive deep into the power of resilience, entrepreneurship, and finding your authentic voice. I hope my story can inspire you to embrace your unique journey, no matter how unconventional it may seem.

In this episode, I speak with Dana Goodyear, a staff writer at The New Yorker and the host of the podcast Lost Hills. Dana shares her journey from being an English major to landing her first job at The New Yorker, where she started as an assistant to two nonfiction editors. She recounts her early days of learning the ropes, reading extensively, and eventually working directly with David Remnick, the editor-in-chief. Dana's career path is fascinating, as she transitioned from writing profiles and investigative pieces to diving into the world of podcasting. Her passion for storytelling and her love for true crime led her to create Lost Hills, a podcast that delves into the dark and mysterious crimes of Malibu.

Dana's insights into the making of Lost Hills are truly captivating. She talks about the challenges and rewards of investigative reporting, the importance of collaboration, and the unique storytelling potential of podcasts. Dana also shares some behind-the-scenes stories about the production process, including the intense research, door-knocking, and the occasional threats she faced. Her dedication to uncovering the truth and bringing these stories to life is inspiring.
