I interviewed over 70 people for my podcast in the last 4 months.

That’s an average of 4 interviews per week.

One episode takes on average 2 hours of my time.

From handling invitations to recording, editing, and posting.

The results?

One of the greatest professional experiences of my life.

More self-confidence.
Now I know I can hold a conversation with people much smarter than me for 40 minutes. 😅
My interviewing & conversation skills have improved so much.
Created amazing connections with people I would have never met otherwise.
I also learned so much more about marketing. It’s a podcast for marketers & founders. So every time it feels like a private tutoring session.
A few hundred listens per week without any promotion so far. (Apart from just posting the episode on Linkedin).

I also realized how much work it takes to manage a podcast AND acquire listeners.

By end of April, I'll start doing less recording and more promoting.

The hardest part at the beginning was getting the first few guests to agree.

But it wasn’t that hard either.

Now that I have over 30 episodes published, it’s much easier to get people to say yes.

I also started to get more “prestigious” guests.

Usually, you deal with their PR office.

It’s stressful to have a guest used to going on the Joe Rogan podcast, or one of the cofounders of some humongous brand.

I’ve had a few of those recordings where I feel like an impostor and totally unqualified to run the interview.

But at the end of the day what matters is that it stays fun for me.

When I have fun, the guest has fun and it shows.

If you ever toyed with the idea of starting your own podcast.

Here is some advice:

DO IT!!

It’s an absolutely amazing journey.
