You're listening to the 38th episode of the Humans 2.0 podcast, solo-series, FLOW! Today's episode is on what I've learned over the past months that led me to host a top charts podcast.


1. Unless you are talented and have mentors, don’t expect anyone to listen for the next 6-18 months.



2. Embrace intellectual humility and admit when you are wrong / don’t know what you’re talking about.


3. Don’t equate your self-worth with the number of downloads your podcast has.


4.  If somebody asks to be on your show, connect with them via a call first and make sure it’s a right fit. Don't be afraid to say NO!


5. Video interviews are much better for human to human contact and putting up on YouTube and promoting after.


6. Listen from the perspective of your audience.


7. Before the Interview, tell the guest this is not live and can be edited after.


8. After the interview ask your guest who would be a good fit for this podcast.


9. Heavily research your guest and establish a chronological timeline.


10.  Success is ALWAYS in the Follow-up (99% of people don’t do)


11. Treat your guests like normal human beings (high-profile guests)


12.  Don’t invite a guest just to get them on your show for the name (cross-name ranking)


13.  It takes time and effort to build the podcast of your dreams….that’s why most people quit.


I get messages every day from individuals and companies asking me for advice and to consult their podcasting ventures! Hope this helps :)
