How 350 Episodes Built My Network And Career

The first thing that happened, the real reason I got started was pretty selfish.

It was that I wanted to learn from others.

Think about it at that time.

It was February, March, going into COVID.

People are all working from home.

They're not doing a whole lot.

The world's kind of shutting down.

And I really just wanted to connect with people.

I wanted to hear their stories.

I wanted to see what I can, the people I can meet.

Because in the beginning, one of my biggest assets that I think I had Instead of the podcast being all about the viewers, how many downloads, all that kind of stuff, I focused specifically on meeting high-level people, meeting people that I thought could really impact me on the journey I was on.

Because for me, the entire journey was learning from people what success looked like so that I can start to have that success myself and defining it in different ways because I knew – In the beginning, I knew that there were people that were super well-off, super wealthy, but they had terrible family lives, terrible fitness, terrible all these things.

And I thought to myself, how could I create something to learn from different people to see who are the most holistically really winning at a high level that maybe not all of us have heard of? And that's what it came to be.

It was free access from very, very smart individuals, which gave me such an insight to realize that people are willing to share if you give them the platform.

So that's what I did.

It was like a graduate degree and I had to pay $0 to attend.

It was a very exciting thing for me to realize that instead of asking people, hey, can you do 30 minutes or can we do a coffee or can we do a lunch, a meetup, whatever it was, this was such an easier way to do it.

And then it started to attract people.

Like I remember in the very beginning, there was a mastermind that was like $25,000 and It's one of these groups where high level people and one of the guys that I had on the podcast, he proceeded to introduce me to like all the players in the mastermind because they wanted to be on podcast.

And what that made me realize was I didn't even have to be in the mastermind to get to know these people at a deeper level, but I could actually get to know them and then connect with them and see where this all can land.

And that's what I did.

And that's kind of where the journey started.

It started with really wanting to learn from others.

So when you're going through this and you're going through deciding something, you don't say, hey, I want to do this for 350 episodes.

You say, hey, I want to do 10.
