I sat down with Vince Quinn, co-founder of SBX Productions and host of “It’s Not Just Talking,” to dig into the nuts and bolts of running a show that not only sounds good but serves your bigger picture.You’ll hear how Vince thinks about podcast strategy beyond just getting downloads—he shares why being consistent and intentional is more important than chasing vanity metrics. We also talk about practical ways podcasters can stand out, like refining your show’s format, experimenting with episode length, and using your podcast as a way to build real relationships, not just broadcast to an empty room. You’ll pick up tips on focusing your podcast strategy so it actually fits your life and business, and hear why Vince believes nurturing smaller, more meaningful audiences can be more effective than chasing big numbers. Tune in for down-to-earth advice that can help you get clear on your own goals, make your workflow manageable, and grow your show in a way that feels authentic.Connect with Vince QuinnWebsite: https://freepodcasthelp.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vince-quinnIf My Podcast Story speaks to you, consider subscribing so you never miss an episode.
