    409: What I've Learned from Podcasting for 10 Years

    409: What I've Learned from Podcasting for 10 Years

    Today I celebrate a special milestone — 10 years of podcasting. Yep, I started this thing back in February 2014. I've never had a viral episode. Ever. But I kept going. When I started, I thought I was late to the game. I've realized that it doesn't matter if you outlast everyone who quits or never starts.

Inspirational, sincere and refreshing podcast on marketing and branding

I remember downloading this podcast on iTunes ages ago, and it just sat there until January 2019, when (call it new year resolution, goals setting, etc...) I decided it was high time I started thinking of growing my business. So I decided to do what other great inspirational leaders said they did: read inspirational books and and listen to other inspirational authors. I remembered I had Mike’s podcasts about marketing, and thought that was a good place to start. Mike’s sincere and refreshing approach just hooked me in! He speaks in such simple terms, with such clarity, that made me want to follow him! I enrolled in some of his courses, and now I can’t wait to dig into his book “You are the Brand”! Thanks Mike!

This podcast is incredible!

I am immensely passionate about personal branding and content creation as It has changed my life. When I found this podcast I could not get over how Mike was speaking the same language as me🙌🙏

This podcast gave me the push I needed to set up my own consultancy business. I now listen to this podcast every day and have started from the beginning and working my way through them all!

I have signed my first few clients in the last two weeks and if it wasn’t for this podcast I would’ve never made that leap into the personal branding consultancy space.

Thank you so much Mike
