Episode notes
Start Podcasting Like A Hobby
- Treat a new show as a hobby unless you accept it's unlikely to become a big business immediately.
- Focus on making great content rather than assuming fame or fast monetization will follow.
Narrowcasting Beats Broad Broadcasting
- Successful long-running shows combine narrow focus with evolving formats that serve their audience.
- Broad, unfocused content worked in past broadcast-era scarcity but fails in today's niche-rich landscape.
Rebuilding By Calling 100 People
- After losing his old show, Jordan made a list of 100 people to call and appeared on ~140 podcasts to rebuild momentum.
- Those pre-built relationships and favors repaid quickly and helped him recover faster than expected.
