In this episode of Remarkable, I have a conversation with Jared Easley, a navy veteran, experienced podcaster, author, and co-founder of the world’s largest international podcasting conference.
Jared is an entrepreneur, salesman, and networker, or rather, a connector, who is known for his generosity and willingness to go out of his way to help others.
He’s the author of “Podcasting Good to Great” and co-author of “Stop Chasing Influencers”. He’s co-founder of the Academy of Podcasters Awards and the Podcast Movement Conference, and he’s the host of Starve the Doubts and one of the most generous people I know.
In this episode, Jared and I discuss:
- Why going after big names might not be the best idea
- The downside of a great launch
- One big reason you shouldn’t worry about your download numbers
- Creative ways to get more people to discover you
- How to use live events to grow your show
- Methods you can use to monetize your podcast
- Why you’ll build a bigger audience by being genuine
- Why lesser known people make better guests
- How podcasting has been an incubator for other projects
- The history of the Podcast Movement
- How to get sponsors through partnerships
- The impact of podcasting on business success
