KEY TAKEAWAYS
- The Disruptive Entrepreneur (now rebranded to Disruptors) was the first of Progressive Media’s to launch 8 years ago and now has almost 1000 episodes.
- Build a "specific but vague" niche to maximise reach - business, money, and entrepreneurship is broad but still clear.
- Create in your authentic format e.g. long-form interviews for Rob. Short-form doesn't always suit creators. Repurpose one piece of content into 50.
- View podcasting as a commercial business. Reinvest revenue into better guests and production. You need to invest to grow.
- Avoid overcomplicating tech and production as a beginner. iPhone + consistency beats fancy gear!
- Interview skills are critical. Research helps but stay present and let conversations flow. Interviewing takes practice and you will get better with time.
- Go broader once you've built an audience and identity. Rob went from Disruptive Entrepreneur which was more specific to then Disruptors which interviews a wider range of guests.
- Handwritten letters stand out to get guests attention. Wax seals also help, you can outsource the writing.
- Controversial guests like Andrew Tate bring huge but fleeting blows up. Lasting impact depends on authenticity.
- Don't overcomplicate funnels, CRMs etc when starting out. Bang out content and drive people to simple sales funnels.
BEST MOMENTS
“Really, all I should think about is the impact I have on people."
"So many people right now are overwhelmed. It's just a massive confusion. There's so much opportunity but so much confusion."
"This morning...I felt grey and fuzzy and bleh. But I got in the garden and I did a pretty hard workout. And then I got in the ice bath... And I thought, fucking hell, my brain is not really on it."
"Go live for three minutes, five minutes, ten minutes and then fairly easy...you can chuck that content there and they can do four or five clips from that."
"Sometimes I think if I'd have stayed Disruptive Entrepreneur and just interviewed millionaires and billionaires, you know, maybe I might be more successful."
"People way overcomplicate everything. Get a good agency...be more prolific with your content...and the money will start to go up."
"I know for a fact he pays guests big money. I know this for a fact...He and others have made it harder to get guests because they're chucking big money down."
"I like the fact that you call it a commercial business because I don't think a lot of creators do."
