How Veteran Podcaster and Content Marketer Jerod Morris Writes

The Showrunner behind multiple top-ranking podcasts and Vice President of Marketing for the Rainmaker.FM podcast network, Jerod Morris, paid me a visit this week to talk about his beginnings as a writer, podcaster, and digital marketer.

Mr. Morris started out online as a sports blogger and became the editor of a high-traffic blog that was tapped by Fox Sports.

His blogging has led to quite a few opportunities for the writer, including:

• Co-founding a WordPress hosting company
• Leading the editorial team for Copyblogger.com
• Launching and co-hosting multiple top-ranked podcasts
• … and becoming the VP of Marketing for the Rainmaker.FM podcast network — to name only a few

On the eve of the launch of his new Showrunner Podcasting Course, we had a chance to talk shop.

In this file Jerod Morris and I discuss:

• How Sports Blogging Led to a Host of Opportunities
• A Simple Writing Hack for Email Marketers
• Why Writing Makes You a Better Podcaster
• How Scheduling Greatly Increases Your Productivity
• Why Writers Need to Embrace Their Imperfection
• How to Infuse Everything You Do with Creativity
