Beyond Downloads: What It Really Takes to Succeed in Podcasting w/Alex Sanfillipo
Manage episode 486417032 series 3462552
It’s not about going viral. It’s about going deeper.
In this powerful episode, I’m joined by my new business bestie, Alex Sanfilippo, founder of PodMatch - a platform that connects podcast hosts and guests, to talk about what it really takes to build a podcast that grows your business and your influence - without burning out or giving up.
Alex shares the truth that so many of us have learned the hard way - the best podcasts aren’t always the ones with the most downloads. They’re the ones that create real connection with the right people.
We also discuss:
- The most important questions to ask before starting a podcast
- The truth about vanity metrics - and how to grow without "going viral"
- How podcast hosts can create unique, one-on-one relationships with listeners that feel surprisingly personal despite being one-sided.
- How to simplify your workflow using the "automate, delegate, eliminate" rule
Whether you’re just starting out or feeling overwhelmed by all the “shoulds,” this conversation will help you simplify your approach and stay focused on what actually matters.
