100TH EPISODE! 5 Lessons Learned Creating The Charged Life
After 100 episodes, we've learned a lot. This episode features my thanks and my advice to anyone wanting to start their own show.
When we started the show on YouTube, I had just a random number of viewers. 44 MILLION views later... wow.
Since then, my Facebook fans went from around 1 million to 4.6 million. When we put the show here on iTunes, it debuted at #1 across ALL categories. Amazingly, despite the fact I don't really promote the podcast to my email list that often, it's been a fixture in the Top 10 of Self-Help for 100 weeks. I'm so happy and honored people keep finding us here and spreading the word.
As you know, I've never had a sponsor or ad on the show - I'm able to self-fund the entire endeavor because enough people buy my books and courses that I don't have to resort to that nonsense. I don't have any issues with other people having sponsors on their podcasts - it's necessary for a lot of people. I just personally don't like it and have turned down multiple 7-figure sponsorship deals so that I can keep your listening ad-free. Yes, the podcast could be "bigger" if I went with the money, but I just don't need to. I like that you can come here and hear positive messages unattached to ads. If you feel the same, please share the show!
