In today’s episode of The DigitalMarketer, he’s sharing his personal journey from disgruntled and broke MC to satisfied and successful podcast launcher. His business offering is to help you go ‘from idea to iTunes in 100 days or less’ with your podcast. And the free food for thought is that along the way you’ll probably do some soul searching too, using your podcast as a vehicle not just for business growth, but personal development too. As Sebastian’s T-shirt proclaims, “Podcasts Suck! (Unless You Have One). Frankly, he might be onto something. Sebastian Rusk is the Podcast Launch Lab founder and owner, as well as being a keynote speaker, comedian, author, and host of the podcast ‘Podcasts Suck!’ Key Takeaways:05:15 Doing the work as a digital marketer — why that is all that matters 06:31 What does it take to be an MC?06:54 How did Sebastian discover podcasting?15:30 How you can make money doing the things you love16:46 How to link podcasting with making money as a business strategy20:45 How podcasting can open doors AND lead to personal growth 22:15 Can AI duplicate or replace human conversation in podcasting?Connect with Sebastian Rusk:Link Tree - https://linktr.ee/sebruskBe sure to subscribe to the podcast at: https://www.digitalmarketer.com/podcast/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/digitalmarketerInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/digitalmarketer/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/digital-marketer/This Month's Sponsors:Conversion Fanatics - Conversion Rate Optimization AgencyGet 50% Off Monthly Blog Writing Service - BKA Content More Resources from Scalable[Free Guide & Assessment] 7 Levels of ScaleFREE EPIC Challenge More Shows You'll LovePerpetual Traffic - The #1 podcast for learning paid traffic and improving your conversions!Business Lunch - Sit down every week some of the most successful people in the world.
