Chapter Summaries:
[00:00:00] John Lee Dumas of Entrepreneur on fire nation on the podcast today. We are talking about the key to success. If you want to know how to grow your podcast, this episode is for you. [00:01:45] We're talking all things podcasting. Not just in the sense of strategy of how to launch, grow and monetize your show. We're going deep into how podcasting can actually help you build your community, and build your confidence. And as we know, success starts from within. [00:02:40] Jenn Lydon: I feel like you're the king of value content. If you can solve real problems for people on a massive scale, you'll get yours. When you can find a way to be the only one, you will win. [00:07:21] Most podcast interviews are just regurgitating what everybody's saying. When those individuals can honestly look in the mirror and say, I am the number one solution to this real problem, those are people that are winning. It all goes back to that same thing. It's providing the content. [00:09:01] Jenn: I wrote a book called the common path to uncommon success. She says the book lays out 17 steps to financial freedom and fulfillment. The most common step is discovering your niche within your big idea, she says. Jenn: It's an individual journey that everybody must go on. [00:11:26] If you were starting over again in 2023, would you start with podcasting? It wouldn't be a podcast that interviews entrepreneurs because it's just too saturated of a market. I would identify a topic that I'm incredibly passionate about, excited about, enthusiastic about. And then create the best solution. [00:12:32] If you could just do any podcast for fun, what would it be? It would probably be a podcast only focused on sleep. Sleep is the most critical factor to people's health, and this world gets terrible quantity and quality of sleep. [00:15:18] Without consistent quality sleep, there's no way you're going to be able to keep up with the rigors of being an entrepreneur. Stop trying to be a pale, weak imitation of other podcasts and instead find a topic that you are strongly, passionate for. I really hope that people focus on getting some good sleep in 2023.
