Phil's interest in Podcasting first began when he heard one of Kevin Smith's podcasts on the network Smodcast back in 2014. Since then, he has been listening to a varied genre of podcasts to stay up to date with the latest knowledge.

In November 2017, he took the plunge and started his first podcast, The Phil Better Show.

👉After 200 plus episodes

👉6000 downloads

👉200 Facebook followers

The show went on hiatus in 2020, but at the same time, Phil's drive to become a successful Entrepreneur kicked into high gear. After a few failed attempts, and some inner soul searching, he decided to start Investing In Himself by doing the one thing he's great at... Connecting with people.

Starting a new podcast called: Invest In Yourself: A Digital Entrepreneur Podcast, Phil’s goal was to connect with as many Entrepreneurs as possible to understand how to start his own journey, now 2 years later the show has accomplished:

👉 Over 200 interviews with successful Business Owners, Entrepreneurs and Influencers,

👉 Invitation to Media events like Startup SuperCup in Sarlat France and Talks at Slay Your Life in Las Vegas.

👉 Winner of Multiple awards for Best Business Podcast 2020 and best Podcast Producer.

👉 Over 100k downloads per year.

👉 A Global Rank of Top 10% per Listennotes.com

On the back of his Podcast’s success, Phil met his first Client, Lloyd Ross and launched the Money Grows on Trees: The Podcast. 18 months after launching the Podcast, the show:

👉 Ranks continually at number 24 all-time in Australia for the How-to category after only 4 weeks!

👉 #1 ranked podcast in Iceland, Australia in the How To category.

👉 50% increase in downloads a week to week

👉 Is the Number 1 How-to in the Personal Finances Podcast category

👉 Has Generated over 7 figures in revenue.

Spurred on by the success of his client, Phil launched his third Podcast, Stock Dirty To Me, along with the admins of the Facebook group "Stock Market for Beginners." This Podcast was focused on helping the members of the Facebook group increase their Stock Market knowledge but understanding the basics of Investing.

Phil launched his fourth podcast, Invest In Yourself: the Podcast Series, as a way to connect with Podcasters and learn what issues they face with their show so he can find the solutions to their problems.

👉 Top 100 How-to ranking on Goodpods

👉 Generates 5 figures a month

Phil’s goal is to help launch over 100 Million Podcasts that bring the hosts the ability to live their dream life. Check him out here: https://www.facebook.com/PhilBetter https://www.linkedin.com/in/phil-lemieux
