506: BYN Breakdown | Credibilty Comes First

On this BYN Breakdown me and Eric are going to be continuing our conversation around building and scaling your podcast. Last time we took a look at Blue Ocean Strategy and broke the myth behind needing expensive equipment and software. Today, we’re going to look at the importance of credibility and how to build it. A lot of people want to look at the heavy hitters of the podcasting world and copy their formula, but this is a different time, and you have unique qualities that you can bring to the table without having to stake your whole identity on what has already been done. 

Let’s dive into the conversation and let me breakdown my Credibility First Method and clue you in on ways you can drive capital that can lead you to build a bigger audience!
