In this teaser episode, podcaster Luis shares his podcasting origin story – that defining conversation with a stranger that led to him consistently growing podcast audiences of over 100K a month for the shows he was to go on and manage.

Luis’ story of his first marketing convention at age 25 and how he scraped together the $5K attendance fee to get a foot in the door is packed full of pearls of wisdom that illuminate an audacious insight into podcasting that involves approaching complete strangers and turning them into business partners.

Whether you are looking to get started with that first conversation or looking for ways to get over one hundred thousand listeners a month tuning into what you have to say, this show is for you. It’s all about creating content that will pay, stay, and refer.

This episode is part of a series called ‘How to get your first 100K podcast listeners’ and features exciting excerpts from interviews with podcast sage Colin Gray and short-form content wizard Ryan Magin. Let’s go!

“Podcast content – when it’s done right – has the ability to take a stranger from ‘I don’t know you or trust you’ to ‘I trust you and I possibly want to go deeper into a relationship with you.’”

– Luis Diaz
