  • Realness and brilliance delivered beautifully

    I have been in the podcast biz for literal decades, and Jay’s is one of the few thought-leadership shows I’ve developed a habit of listening to every week. He’s a natural on the mic, eschews podcast host performativeness, and brings realness to his solo episodes and interviews alike. An absolute must-follow for anyone working in the business of creation.

  • The Real Creator Deal

    Jay Clouse really knows his stuff; but more importantly, he absolutely walks his talk. He goes deeper than just how to make a buck by being a content creator. He digs into how to run an ethical and authentic business that makes a difference. For me, he’s become, over many years, a creator worth listening to, and this weekly podcast exemplifies the kind of quality that he’s committed to bringing. I whole heartedly recommend his podcast.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#302: Coaching Session: Overcoming My Delegation Problems with Michael Bungay Stanier
Q: How can you test your fears about delegating without risking the business?
By running small, time-bound experiments that test specific delegations (e.g., leading sponsorship conversations, calendar management) with clear metrics, so you can gather data and adjust before making bigger changes.
#302: Coaching Session: Overcoming My Delegation Problems with Michael Bungay Stanier
Q: What is the key framework you're using to understand the change you want to make?
They discuss Immunity to Change, distinguishing easy vs hard change, and mapping commitments and competing commitments to reveal why progress stalls, followed by a five-step process to define the goal and test it through small experiments.
#302: Coaching Session: Overcoming My Delegation Problems with Michael Bungay Stanier
Q: What's the challenge you want to work on besides just creating more tactics?
The challenge is to have more time and space to work on the business rather than in it, and to actually empower others to take over operational responsibilities, which would free him to focus on higher-level, strategic work.
#299: What Nobody Tells You About Publishing a Book—with Award-Winning Podcaster Eric Zimmer
Q: How did you know that it was time to write a book?
He was invited by a major publisher, recognized for the podcast, and realized he already had a coherent framework—the spiritual habits—that could be transformed into a book, making it feasible to pursue a long-held goal with enough space and support to do it well.
#295: Community Building Trends for 2026 with Becky Pierson Davidson
Q: How should memberships handle expectations and communications around changes?
Communicate changes proactively and co-create with members, so transitions (like changing who leads a call) are not a surprise and members feel involved in the evolution of the space.
