Ep: 375 - Why Your Podcast Is Stuck: Real Growth, AI, and What to Fix First

from The Decision Hour · host Heroes Media Group

On this episode of The Decision Hour, I sat down with Joe Rubin, CMO and co-founder of Mowpod, to talk about what it actually takes to grow a podcast audience today. Joe shares his journey from venture capital to building Mowpod, a marketing agency that charges on performance and turns down clients who are not ready to advertise. We break down why organic podcast growth is so tough, how AI is changing podcast marketing, and the pitfalls podcasters often face, from podfade to common tech mistakes. Joe gives real advice on when to invest in advertising, optimizing SEO, and using tools like charts.mowpod.com. Plus, he reveals his must-have AI tools and encourages creators to embrace new technology, no matter their experience level. If you are tired of posting into the void and hoping something sticks, Joe gives you the real playbook for what actually works. This is the conversation you need to hear.
