We're joined by Jeff Sanders, host and creator of "The 5 AM Miracle Podcast" to talk all things growth in the podcast industry, or as Adams called, from "zero to hero". the Apple podcast issues and losing his show on the platform, and how podcasting helps his business in various ways. We're talking ad reads, and if organic or pre recorded work best, how to get ads on your show, and choosing the right ones to fit your brand.
