I’ve produced more than fifty of my own shows and published over 5,000 episodes. As a podcast consultant, I’ve trained tens of thousands of people on how to successfully launch their show and build a profitable business around their expertise.Podcast Answer Man is where I share what actually works in podcasting after two decades of experience. It’s a place for thoughtful creators who use podcasting as a tool for building something meaningful with their voice.In each episode, I explore the decisions behind a podcast that grows trust, attracts the right audience, and supports a real business. I cover tools and workflows when they matter. More importantly, I focus on clarity, positioning, consistency, and the long-term thinking required to make a podcast worth creating.If you’re looking for quick hacks, this probably isn’t your show. If you want a clear signal in a noisy industry, you’re in the right place.
