187. Work in Progress: Growing a Podcast with 60,000 Listeners On Top of a Career & Fatherhood (Jeremy Au)

How does someone create a podcast show that’s #1 in the tech category within Southeast Asia’s tech (and top 10% globally) and garners 60,000+ listeners... On top of multiple other roles and identities (such as being the COO at Lucence, a father of two, and an avid science fiction nerd)?

That is a glimpse into the conversation we had with Jeremy Au about on episode 187 of The Thought Leader Club Podcast as part of the “Work in Progress” series.

Topics we touch on include:

• The craft of podcasting and Jeremy’s thought process behind his podcast episodes
• Self-awareness is critical for both podcasting and building thought leadership
• Don’t podcast just because you want to podcast... Podcast because you want to be a nerd in a subject matter

Enjoy :)
