--
There was a question asked in the free grow the show Facebook group earlier this year that got me thinking, and the question was this: What are the core competencies that a podcast or needs to grow a show from?
After growing two shows myself interviewing dozens of other successful podcasters and helping thousands more via this podcast, we here at grow have a theory about the three baseline skills that you need to develop to have a successful podcast.
Today on Grow The Show, we are joined by Eric O’Keeffe, another full-time podcaster who has developed those three skills himself and who is here to share how he did it.
Eric is the creator and host of What If World, which is is a storytime show that’s regularly ranked among the top podcasts for kids. Today, Eric makes the leap from listener to guest to share with you how he built the three core skills needed to be a successful podcaster, what those skills exactly are, and how you will soon have them, too.
