Description
How does growing up in a bubble prepare you for life outside of it?
Having spent his entire childhood in a church campus, it took Travis Chappell long years to realize that the path he was in at that time was not the life that he wanted to lead.
Travis, the man behind the Build Your Network podcast, looks back at how a ministry degree holder like him went from making door-to-door sales to starting a podcast and to building his own business.
Despite having to start from scratch, he persevered and used his experience making door-to-door until he finally launched his first-ever podcast in 2017. He later built his business, Guestio, where he teaches entrepreneurs how to build, grow, and monetize podcasts through interviewing.
In this episode, Travis gets real about growing up in a Christian bubble and discovering his passion for podcasting. He and Darius also talk about the key strategies to build an audience, how to achieve success in the industry, and how to leverage podcasts to establish brand authority.
Topics include:
Travis looks back on growing up in a Fundamentalist Christian bubble
How Travis started his podcast show and podcast coaching
Why Travis decided to do door-to-door sales after college instead of going into ministry
Podcasters that inspired Travis to get into the industry
The secret formula for podcast success
