In this episode of Remarkable, I had the chance to talk with Jon Nastor, a successful entrepreneur turned podcaster who has made podcasting a full time job since stumbling into it less than two years ago.
Jon is host of the podcast, Hack the Entrepreneur, author of the best-selling book, Hack the Entrepreneur: How to Stop Procrastinating, Build a Business, and Do Work That Matters, co-host of the Showrunner podcast, and co-author of The Showrunner Podcasting Course.
In this episode, Jon and I discuss:
- One big thing you can do to create raving fans that tell others about you
- The most unusual thing he’s done that’s been the foundation of his podcasting success
- How to structure initial deals for sponsorships
- How to respond to the question ‘how many downloads do you have?’ when you don’t have big numbers
- What mistake he made that destroyed his listenership and download numbers (temporarily), and how to avoid the same mistake
- How to cold-email guests – what to write and what not to write
- How to genuinely connect with your audience
- The selfish reason he started a podcast in the first place
- Why he’s using a microphone that Pat Flynn gave his nine year old daughter
