This One Thing Makes Podcasters Quit (and It's Not What You Think) with Alex Sanfilippo (#31)

If you've experienced past episodes of Let's Blow This Up, you've learned many reasons why podcasters throw in the towel on their production after only few episodes...Lack of strategy. No buy-in. Unrealistic expectations. Starting for all the wrong reasons.And in today's episode, we're going to talk about a reason you've probably never pondered. And considering where things are headed with AI and technology in the podcast industry, it's a big one.For the second-to-last episode of Season 2 of Let's Blow This Up, I'm pleased to be joined by my friend Alex Sanfilippo, Co-Founder of PodMatch and the man behind Podcasting Made Simple Live. Alex, his wife Alicia, and the entire team at PodMatch have built one of the strongest communities in the podcast space and place major emphasis on giving back to podcasters across the globe.In addition to tackling this not-talked-about-enough factor of why creators throw in towel on their shows, Alex and I will also dive into many important aspects you need to keep front of mind as we embark on a new year in podcasting, including but not limited to:The PodValue Initiative that's helped put over $500k back into podcaster's pocketsWhy the fundamentals of podcasting will never lose relevance (regardless of the new shiny objects that enter the game)How to effectively navigate your way around new technology and platforms (and not burn yourself out in the process)Will AI-hosted podcasts ever be en vogue? The importance of your message being an inch wide and a mile deep (and how to set yourself up to make an impact with said message)📆 Schedule a Free Strategy Call with Jason Cercone📲 Or Contact Me Directly: [email protected] | 412.965.8428👉 Got a question you'd like featured on Monday's 5-Minute Questions Series?
