    1. Focus on building genuine relationships with podcast hosts by understanding their audience and delivering value to them, rather than just trying to promote yourself.

    2. Approach team building and employee development with a focus on understanding each person's current capabilities and potential, and systematically building their skills rather than expecting immediate high performance.

    3. Adopt a mindset of giving with love and serving others, without expectation of immediate return, as a key strategy for making your podcast and business profitable in the long run.

  • E657 - Jonathan Cronstedt - How to Make Anything as Big as You Want, as Fast as You Want
    Oct 15 2024

    In this episode, I get to speak with Jonathan Cronstedt.


    JCron is an investor, advisor, author and a Board Director at Kajabi, a knowledge commerce platform. Prior to Kajabi, JCron held executive leadership positions for SaaS, mortgage finance, digital publishing, and direct sales.


    While its President, Kajabi grew 2153%, achieving a $2B valuation within five years.


    After his 20-plus years in executive leadership, operations, and strategy, JCron developed the Bullseye Formula - his proven method for scaling to exit.


    Using the Bullseye Formula, JCron invests in and advises a diverse portfolio of companies through The Cronstedt Company, where he is Chairman and CEO.


    JCron is dedicated to supporting and equipping the next generation of entrepreneurs as the Executive Director of The Jonathan and Nicole Cronstedt Foundation. JCron believes entrepreneurship is the single greatest transformational force in our world, and it may just be the thing that saves it.


    You can read more about JCron, his entrepreneurial journey, and the Bullseye Formula in his book, The Billion Dollar Bullseye.


    When he’s not driving outcomes for industry-leading brands or scaling digital empires, JCron is lucky to be husband to Nicole, father to Morgan Taylor, servant to puppy Stella, and an avid enjoyer of sumptuous spirits and brilliant books.

  • E656 - Tom Schwab - How Introverts Can Leverage Podcasting and Public Speaking to Grow Their Business
    Oct 10 2024

    In this episode, I get to speak with Tom Schwab.


    Do you think introverts can't become public speakers? Let me introduce you to Tom Schwab. He's an engineer whose first job out of college was running nuclear power plants in the Navy. Now he's a leading voice on podcast interview marketing. Being an introvert, he'd never have thought he'd have been a top sales rep with a Fortune 100 company, Hubspots first eCommerce case study, the Founder of Interview Valet, or a public speaker. The world is changing and the digital world is empowering people in exciting new ways.
