“I think that there’s a lot of value in his [Tim Ferriss’] content and I think he’s done a lot for the podcasting space. It’s easy for people to dismiss him sometimes, but I’m thankful for what I’ve learned from him.” (31:44)
“And it was really cool to take this technology that I was obsessed with and make it a career and look at ways to help people monetize that didn’t destroy their creativity. I would always push for other ways to go about it. Don’t just throw a banner there. Really be aware of your customer and make sure you aren’t alienating them. It was a natural fit into podcasting.” (41:50)
“The niche is the really interesting part. I don’t want to hear anybody else’s opinions about something that’s broad that I can get from places that are respected and well developed. I do want to hear about topics that are very specific.” (53:37)
