And, I’ve also never been great at following the lead of someone else that I don’t necessarily agree with.” (09:52) (Anna)“You have to take care of your people. Your people make it happen. Selling during Covid, there was nothing to sell. No one had a choice, right? But, the key part though is that you have to make sure that people know that they’re appreciated. You’ve gotta figure out how to scale to support the work. Yeah, you just gotta take care of your people.” (14:25) (Anna)“The three ‘E’s of E3 stand for Educate, Enlighten and Entertain.” (20:13) (Anna)“In so many ways, I do take on that responsibility of telling those stories and telling my story because there are families out here that are accepting and that will welcome you with open arms after coming out. And, I think that story isn’t told enough. And I also hold space for those who could never do that. And that’s why we do the work. That’s why visibility and representation matter, because people need to know that you can thrive.” (26:13) (Anna)“From Day One, [the mission] was always to amplify Black LGBTQ stories in Chicago and across the country. It was always meant to do that.” (30:10) (Anna)“Nothing will be right until that wrong is corrected. That’s just a fact. There’s just nothing you can do that’s going to make this country better without reconciling with indigineous people and their land and the way that it was coopted and stolen.” (40:04) (Anna)Resources MentionedAnna’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/annadeshawn/E3 Radio – https://e3radio.fm/queer-news/E3 Radio Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/E3RadioE3 Radio Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/E3Radio/E3 Radio Twitter – https://twitter.com/e3radioE3 Radio LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/e3radio/The Qube – https://theqube.app/The Qube Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/thequbeapp/The Qube Twitter – https://twitter.com/thequbeappAnna’s TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@annadeshawn?lang=enPodfest – https://podfestglobal.online/Podcast Movement – https://2022.podcastmovement.com/Podcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkiesPodcast Junkies Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast_junkiesPodcast Junkies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkiesThe Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Podcast Index, Value4Value & NewPodcastApps: https://podcastindex.org/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

Episode SummaryJeremy Enns is the Founder of Podcast Marketing Academy, where he helps scrappy brands and Creators hit their podcast growth milestones with a step-by-step playbook. Through his extensive experience in audio, Jeremy understands that podcasting is one of the best ways to consistently generate leads, make sales, and elevate your profile. Today, Harry and Jeremy discuss Jeremy’s passion for writing and creating content, what separates a consistent show with a growing, successful one and the value of pursuing a niche and narrow audience.Episode SponsorFullCast – https://fullcast.co/Key Takeaways06:25 – Founder of Podcast Marketing Academy, Jeremy Enns joins the show to share his plans for moving to Portugal as well as his passion for audio, music and photography13:13 – The ‘Wildman’23:01 – Content creation, Jeremy’s podcasting origin story and overcoming Imposter Syndrome as an entrepreneur34:14 – Jeremy reflects on returning to his love of writing41:04 – How Jeremy plans and maps out his content49:17 – The decision to begin curating courses54:16 – What separates a consistent show with a growing, successful show1:03:05 – The value of going narrower and pursuing niche audiences1:13:51 – Something Jeremy has changed his mind about recently1:19:07 – Harry thanks Jeremy for joining the show and lets listeners know where they can go to connect with him and learn more about Podcast Marketing AcademyTweetable Quotes“I think I read some stat recently that per capita more Canadians listen to podcasts than Americans do now.” (09:58) (Jeremy)“It’s interesting when I look back at especially my lack of a corporate career history, I’m very aware of both the pros and cons. A lot of people I’ve talked to get conditioned where it’s very hard to go off on your own path because you’ve just worked so long in a structure. I didn’t have any of that baggage, but one of the interesting things that I’ve always thought is that everyone has some sort of Imposter Syndrome. But I don’t know that you can get to this without going through it.” (27:31) (Jeremy)“You hear a lot of people who write regularly talk about how writing really clarifies your own thinking. That, for me, was the case where I thought, ‘At this point, I don’t even care if anybody ever reads anything I write. It’s so valuable to me personally just to keep writing because it was structuring my thoughts.’” (35:37) (Jeremy)“I tend to skew to the philosophical, higher-level strategy side of things than tactical side. But, I’ve also recognized that it’s a lot harder to market and sell vague, philosophical things even if there’s value to it and people like it.” (43:56) (Jeremy)“I think a lot of times it actually comes back to how specific you are about the person that you’re actually trying to reach. Everybody, I’m sure who’s listened to hundreds of episodes of your shows, has heard before that if you create a show for everybody, it’s for nobody. We don’t want to believe that, but it’s the truth.” (55:32) (Jeremy)“For many audiences and many niches, the narrower you go, the more you can potentially charge sponsors. And, people don’t really think of it that way.” (1:05:48) (Jeremy)Resources MentionedJeremy’s Website & Links – https://counterweightcreative.co/junkies/Podcast Marketing Academy – https://counterweightcreative.co/podcast-marketing-academy/Podcast Marketing Academy Twitter – https://twitter.com/PodGrowthSchoolJeremy’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeremy-enns/Jeremy’s Twitter – https://twitter.com/iamjeremyennsSeth Godin’s Blog – https://seths.blog/Tiago Forte’s PARA Method – https://fortelabs.co/blog/para/August Bradley’s YouTube Channel – https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCfqj2oq6LVmR3ybC2nfjqKgJay Clouse Newsletter – https://jayclouse.com/newsletter/The Reminiscent Podcast – https://www.reminiscentpodcast.com/Books Mentioned:Abundance – https://www.amazon.com/Abundance-Future-Better-Than-Think/dp/1451614217Make Noise – https://www.amazon.com/Make-NoisePodcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkiesPodcast Junkies Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast_junkiesPodcast Junkies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkiesThe Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Podcast Index, Value4Value & NewPodcastApps: https://podcastindex.org/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

You can’t see it, but it’s there. And you know it’s there. There’s such a depth to this human experience. And to just get caught up in the day-to-day news cycle is so superficial. And again, everyone is on their journey, and all the phases of the journey are good.” (18:37) (Chris)“Our bodies are what they are. Our soul is pure; it’s part of God. So, our soul is what it is. Our body is what it is. So, the mind is the only thing that we can change, or manipulate, or massage, or improve, or regulate.” (23:09) (Chris)“If you don’t regulate your mind, what happens is your mind runs rampant.

And that’s what I’ve been doing ever since.” (10:55) (Majeed)“I think it’s a testament to the power of the individual’s voice and the platforms we have available to us to broadcast that one man [Joe Rogan] can be more powerful than I’m assuming many of the major networks combined.” (22:15) (Majeed)“Really what I am certain of is the fact that each person that I’ve interviewed has a deeper relationship. I’m gonna interview someone or speak to someone’s group, that’s the beginning of a lifelong partnership, ideally. I’m connecting to their world and their community forever, from this point forward.” (31:58) (Majeed)“When I wanted to be a motivational speaker, I thought, ‘How do I figure out how to get paid speaking engagements?

Can I hire you to train my team? Can I hire you to be my coach?

You’re the Divine. You are in the seat of the Creator. What are you gonna do with it? And, because you are the Creator, who you are is intrinsically evolution. So you are the whole and you are separate.” (16:39) (Cate)“If we actually look at the habits of modern culture - or what I call conventional culture - the habits of conventional culture leads to chronic inflammation which leads to chronic disease which is the number one killer worldwide.” (24:48) (Cate)“The people who are already turned on got more turned on. There are a few people who are getting turned on who got more turned on. The problem was that the narrative in the media globally was the message that you’re the victim of a virus, which is largely known as Germ Theory.” (30:39) (Cate)“These habits that re-wild us are the ones that really turn on our physiology and our neuroplasticity. They’re called positive stressor habits. Not all stress is the same. Some stress is when you do the hard thing and that hard thing makes you smarter and more able to do hard things in your life, which really changes the outlook of your future.” (44:39) (Cate)“Urine therapy goes way back. The Buddha talked about it. It’s in the three main ancient Ayurvedic texts from about 2,000 years ago.

That’s one thing the Americans can quite get from us unless they’ve been in the company of Brits for a while. So, we have three traits. We are self-deprecating, sarcastic and we drink like a fish.” (12:10) (Sam)“The businesses I did after came about by chance. I sold a business to Topshop, which is a female clothing retailer aimed at teenagers in the UK. It came out of my daughter's need to find cheap clothing from her budget that we gave her. She was trying to maximize her budget and I thought, ‘I can write a real-time pricing tracker for her.’ So, I did. And out of that came another business.” (32:39) (Sam)“We’re not a music radio station. We’re more of a talk radio station. We have shows on wine, parenting, books. So, we don’t expect someone to listen seven to seven. They dip in and dip out. It means we can build communities and tribes within each show.” (39:05) (Sam)“I get bored quickly. Three years is probably the limit of my interest in something.

I don’t have a thousand business ideas. I have lived experience. And I lived as a B2B marketer for fifteen years. I’ve seen it from every angle. I’ve seen things go well and things not go well. I’ve seen the shiny new objects, the new platforms and the new channels. The one thing that’s always been true to me is human connection. So it was that that innately told me that podcasting and video are good.” (14:17) (Lindsay) “We integrate with different CRMs, different CMS, with different marketing automation platforms with the B2B marketer in mind. Where are they working now? Where are their teams working? What are they already using that we need to flow into, pull from, push to to make their lives easier and help them get maximum value out of the creative work they’re doing?” (26:30) (Lindsay) “You need to slow down in order to generate better results. You need to focus on creating really great content, which is probably going to come at the cost of quantity. Better quality, even if it comes at the cost of quantity, can make it really good. But then that’s where this approach of amplification comes into play. Take the time to get really intentional about creating something meaningful.” (28:41) (Lindsay) “It’s not just about the show, it’s about what was said. It’s about everything in it. It’s about the content that’s there. And then, that’s where you get to get really creative as a marketer around what else am I gonna do with it. How am I gonna use it in lots of different ways to build those connections?” (36:09) (Lindsay) “One thing that I’ve been advocating for and that we at Casted have been advocating for is that podcasting should be the center [of your marketing strategy]. Your podcast should be the middle and your audio and video content should be the nucleus of everything else you’re doing and we’re starting to see that.” (51:56) (Lindsay)Resources MentionedPodfest Expo Virtual Summit – https://podfestexpo.com/Podcast Index Social Mastodon – https://podcastindex.social/about Podcasting 2.0 Podcast – https://podnews.net/podcast/i4ji5 PodNews – https://podnews.net/ Podtrac – http://analytics.podtrac.com/ Chartable – https://chartable.com/ Lindsay’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/lindsaytjepkema/ Casted on Twitter - https://twitter.com/gocastedLindsay’s Website – https://www.casted.us/?hsLang=enCasted – https://www.casted.us/?hsLang=enLindsay’s Podcasts:The Casted Podcast – https://podcast.casted.us/public/5/The-Casted-Podcast-52134 Casting A Vision Podcast – https://www.audible.com/pd/Podcast/B08K56YYJ4 Podcast Junkies Website: podcastjunkies.comPodcast Junkies YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/Podcastjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Podcast Junkies Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/podcastjunkiesPodcast Junkies Twitter: https://twitter.com/podcast_junkiesPodcast Junkies LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/podcastjunkiesThe Podosphere: https://www.thepodosphere.com/Podcast Index, Value4Value & NewPodcastApps: https://podcastindex.org/🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast
