Since 2015, we've worked behind the scenes with hundreds of podcasters from solo creators to global companies. I've seen what works, what doesn't, and I'm here to dispel the myths that make podcasting feel harder than it needs to be. I'm stepping ou... more

This is episode 8. And honestly? 8 is the only number I've been focused on and had circled on my calendar since I started this podcast. Not downloads. Not rankings. Not reviews. Just getting to episode 8.
In this episode, I'm sharing why I specific... more
Have you heard the saying that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago, and the second best time is now? I've been hearing "there are too many podcasts" since we started working with podcasters back in 2015, when there were only a fraction of ... more

You're probably hearing that if you have a podcast you NEED to be on video right now, that YouTube is king, and if you're not showing your face, you're missing out. But what if the data tells a completely different story?

I’m really enjoying this steady, practical, and encouraging podcast. I also appreciate the shorter format. It’s very easy to digest and take something actionable away from. Great job!
This podcast was just what I needed to give me the inspiration to go for it! Matt’s grounded and reassuring tips really took my analysis paralysis away so that I could move forward. I really appreciate it and I will continue to listen. Thanks for the tips 🙂
Great tips and advice. Keep them coming! Cheers, Steve.
Full disclosure: I’m Matt’s brother, but I’m not being biased when I say that he knows what he’s talking about since he’s been in the podcasting space for over a decade (and has produced so many shows over the years). The episodes have no fluff - he says in 15 minutes what others might take 60 minutes to say, and every episode has actionable steps to move you along in your podcasting journey. My show has almost 1,000 episodes released as of today, and I wish this resource was around when I got s... more
This was exceptional! This is the Podcast equivalent of a fully balanced meal! Matt hit all of the essential food groups. Matt floats the idea that creating your own Podcast is not just accessible … but dare I even say … easy? He pulls back the curtain on every excuse that you might have for why podcasting is not for you! Matt offers practical examples that helps dispel every speed bump or roadblock you might have given yourself from trying something new. Better yet, he has over a decade o... more
What a great time to launch! As a fellow podcaster I can agree that one of the hardest things to do with podcasting is starting or coming back. I can tell this show will be new go-to for motivation to continue podcasting. The show sounds great and you can tell from episode 1 that Matt knows what he’s talking about. Looking forward to seeing where this goes! - Dan from The 41 and Done Podcast.
Matt knows best when it comes to podcasting, as someone who’s been involved in the production of podcasts for over 10 years. You’ll get some great actionable advice from someone who’s been in the trenches and is backed by real experience. Thanks Matt!
