Dom Brightmon: How I Interviewed 1,000 Authors and Built a Podcasting Empire — Dominique Dom Brightmon | Ep 29

Hey friends, it’s Wisdom here! In this episode, I sat down with Dominic “Dom” Brightmon , the powerhouse behind the Going North Podcast. We dove into Dom’s journey from launching his show to promote his book, to becoming a global connector who’s interviewed nearly 1,000 authors. Dom opened up about the highs and humbling moments—like technical mishaps, the evolution of his workflow, and what consistency really looks like over eight years of podcasting. We talked about making money (or not quite enough to retire!), staying energized, and how storytelling can literally change your life and your network. My hope is that you come away inspired to keep showing up, take your own creative leaps, and remember: it’s not just about downloads, it’s about who you become and the impact you make. If you’re in the podcast grind, Dom’s story proves it’s a wild, worthwhile ride!Connect with Dominique Dom BrightmonIf you enjoyed hearing from Dominic "Dom" Brightmon and want to dive deeper into his insights on personal growth, leadership, and content creation, be sure to check out the Going North Podcast at goingnorthpodcast.com.
