Before You Start
Choose the idea, format and purpose before buying equipment.
A complete 13-seminar programme
We started with no experience, no mentor, no agency and nobody showing us what to do. This is everything we wish we had known at the beginning—what we did, why we did it, what happened and what we would recommend now.
Why we made it
Most beginners are about to make the same mistakes we made: buying the wrong kit, building a format that does not work, chasing the wrong guests, posting content without a system and looking at analytics without knowing what to change.
We are not claiming to be the world’s biggest podcast experts. We have simply spent 3 years doing the work, getting things wrong and learning what actually mattered. You can borrow that experience instead of paying for every lesson yourself.
Does this sound familiar?
Do you know what equipment you actually need—and what is a waste of money?
Do you have a strong idea, format and brand that people will remember?
Do you know how to approach guests and get them to say yes?
Can you turn one recording into consistent content across every platform?
Do you know which analytics matter and what to change when growth stalls?
Have you worked out how the podcast will eventually make money?
If any of those answers are “no”, this course gives you the system we had to build through 3 years of trial and error.See the full programme ↓Inside the programme
