  • Zero to Sixty Podcast
    2026/08/15

    Send us feedback/questions via Text

    Everyone wants the 10,000-download podcast, but almost nobody wants to talk about how you actually get there. In this episode of Ask the Podcast Coach, Dave Jackson and Jim Collison dig into a listener's question that stops most podcasters cold: can you really study a podcast's rise from zero to sixty the way a business school studies a company? The answer gets messy fast. Copying what worked for someone else, chasing burger-chain nostalgia, and mistaking a microphone for a financial plan all come up before Dave and Jim land on what actually separates the podcasts that make it from the ones that quietly disappear around episode eight. If you've ever wondered whether there's a real playbook for podcast growth, or just a lot of hustle dressed up as one, this conversation is the honest version nobody's selling you.
