17:53

Spoiler alert… the real key to growing a podcast isn’t consistency. Think about it: if consistency were the key to long-term podcasting growth, then everyone who’s been releasing an episode every week for the past year or more would have a Top 100 podcast — and that’s not the case.

Most experts who preach about podcast growth won’t tell you this: but if you’ve been podcasting for six months or more and fewer than ten listeners have converted to clients, the first step isn’t “grow your audience”...

20:13

The biggest reason most hosts give up after Episode 6? They aren’t seeing an ROI on the time and effort they’re putting into their podcast.

The biggest complaint I hear from experts who are using their podcast as a lead-gen tool is this: "No matter how much valuable content I give away for free in every episode, I still can't get listeners to convert to leads!"
