Episode Description
#767 Want a “business development cheat code” that also builds your authority, content engine, and network at the same time? In this episode, host Brien Gearin welcomes back podcasting coach Travis Chappell for a super practical, “podcasters talking podcasting” deep dive into why entrepreneurs should consider starting a show. Travis breaks down the real benefits beyond chasing downloads — using podcasting to build competence and communication skills, generate cash through leads/sales (and eventually sponsorships), create a simple content engine, and — most importantly — build powerful connections that can unlock relationships you’d never get access to otherwise. They also dig into how to monetize early without huge audience numbers, how to avoid turning interviews into slimy sales calls, and how ridiculously easy (and affordable) it is to launch a podcast today with basic gear and AI-assisted production!
What we discuss with Travis:
+ Who should start a podcast
+ Podcasting’s “golden age”
+ The 5 C’s framework
+ Building competence through interviews
+ Sharpening communication skills
+ Podcasting as a content engine
+ Monetizing without massive downloads
+ Sponsorships vs. products/services
+ Podcasts as relationship “Trojan Horses”
+ Avoiding slimy sales tactics
