In this episode, I speak about the enduring power and benefits of audio-first content creation, specifically podcasting. Even as the media landscape continues to evolve, I firmly believe that audio podcasting remains a highly valuable and underutilized strategy for building your message, business, and influence.

I share my own extensive experience in the podcasting world, having launched over 50 of my own shows and published more than 4,800 episodes over the past 19 years. I also reflect on my role as the "Podcast Answer Man," helping over 40,000 people successfully launch their own audio podcasts.

Throughout the episode, I highlight the 6 key benefits that audio podcasting offers, which include:

A smaller "haystack" for content discovery compared to other platforms
The ubiquity of smartphones and the convenience of audio consumption
The captive audience that audio content can command
The ease of connecting with experts and mentors
The ability to build rapport and trust over time, even while you sleep
The greater influence that comes from dedicated, binge-listening audiences

I also address the impact of platforms like Clubhouse and short-form video, acknowledging the shifts in attention, but emphasizing the enduring value of consistent, high-quality audio content.

Ultimately, I make a strong case for the power of audio-first content creation and encourage listeners to consider implementing this strategy as a means of elevating their message and business.
