On a few episodes of Corporate Warrior, we’ve touched on the business of podcasting – how to get started, how to land high-profile guests, and how to grow your podcast, among other things.
Recently, I was interviewed on the Life As… show on 101.3 Flirt FM by the charming Tom Murphy, where we talked about what everyday life is like for a podcaster like myself, and we also touched on the importance of networking, how to create meaningful connections and relationships with people in order to grow your podcast, and a few other interesting tidbits you’ll want to hear if you’re at all interested in – or at the very least curious about – how to start and grow your own podcast.

This episode is brought to you by ARXFit.com, ARX are the most innovative, efficient and effective all-in-one exercise machines I have ever seen. I was really impressed with my ARX workout. The intensity and adaptive resistance were unlike anything I’ve ever experienced. I love how the machine enables you to increase the negative load to fatigue target muscles more quickly and I love how the workouts are effortlessly quantified. The software tracks maximum force output, rate of work, total amount of work done and more in front of you on-screen, allowing you to compete with your pervious performance, to give you and your clients real-time motivation.
