This list should include a mix of prospects, individuals you admire, and those who have achieved greater success or possess more knowledge and experience than you. By creating a Dream 50 list, Sebastian explains that you are not only identifying potential podcast guests but also setting goals for yourself. He emphasizes the importance of continuously working on this list, crossing off guests as they are booked, and adding new names to ensure that the list never ends.QUOTES:“But first step in this process is identifying who these guests are. The best way to do that is put together a list. You put together a good mix on that list of prospects, people you look up to, and then people that really influence you that you don't know or don't have direct access to.”“You're going to keep that list handy because as you book people for your podcast, you're going to cross them, that person out and you're going to add another one. This list never ends.”“For now you got to get out there and hunt. You got to get out there and find exactly who you want to have conversations with. But be intentional about it right now. Intentional meaning, I'm gonna write them down, I'm gonna start pursuing them, I'm gonna get them on the show because I said so.”==========================Need help launching your podcast?Schedule a Free Podcast Strategy Call TODAY!PodcastLaunchLabNow.com==========================SOCIAL MEDIA LINKSInstagram: Instagram.com/PodcastsSUCKFacebook: Facebook.com/sruskLinkedIn: LinkedIn.com/in/sebastianrusk/==========================PAYING RENT?
