In this Deep Dive, we unpack the truth behind why most podcasters struggle to monetize — and introduce a system built to fix it.

If you’ve ever felt stuck chasing sponsors, CPMs, or downloads that never seem to add up, this conversation will change how you think about podcasting as a business.

The Podcast Profit System™ flips the traditional model on its head by replacing ad dependency with influence-first thinking.

You’ll learn how real creators build sustainable, profitable podcast businesses by owning their message, serving their community directly, and creating assets that grow in value over time.

In this episode:

🔹 The hidden costs of the sponsorship model (and why it fails 99% of podcasters)

🔹 The mindset shift from audience as a commodity to audience as a community

🔹 How influence, not volume, becomes the new measure of profit

🔹 A first look at the Influence Matrix™ — the framework behind the entire Podcast Profit System™

🔹 The Five Tenets of Influence™ and why they anchor every profitable show

💡 Key Takeaway:

Real podcast profit isn’t about chasing numbers — it’s about building influence, trust, and ownership over your audience relationship.
