You haven't made it in radio until you've been fired at least once."

In this episode Roger talks with Carl Richards who talks about his jump from his 25-year career in radio broadcasting to podcasting

Carl Richards dismantles the myth that the podcasting market is too saturated for new creators by pointing out a staggering statistic: while businesses compete against over 11 billion websites globally, there are only about 3.5 million podcasts, making audio a far less crowded channel for establishing authority and cutting through the noise.

For those ready to launch their own show, Carl advises against the "five-year plan" of procrastination, recommending instead that you set a hard launch date on the calendar (ideally 60 days out) to force accountability and proper planning.

This is a great conversation we had and so rich with information that this is yet another masterclass in thinking through podcasting and how to get started!

Get your notetaker out and get ready for another masterclass from one of the best in the biz!
