Pod Mahal (the book!) is out on Amazon now

Published 4 days ago • 1 min read

Hi Reader,

After years of helping creators build their own table through podcasting, I've finally put everything I've learned into one place.

I’m excited to share that my book, "Pod Mahal: Build Your Own Table With Podcasting" is officially available on Amazon!

Why I Wrote This Book

In 2016, I was a curious fitness coach recording my first podcast from my childhood bedroom. No audience, no credibility, just a burning desire to connect and find my way in the industry.

Within one year, that podcast changed everything.

It connected me with industry leaders, got me my dream job coaching Fortune 1000 executives and professional athletes, and eventually led to co-hosting a show with over a million downloads.

But here's what still blows my mind: I wasn't special.

I didn't have fancy equipment, industry connections, or a massive following. What I had was a willingness to start before I felt ready, to learn in public, and to build my own table instead of waiting for an invitation to someone else's.

This Book Is For You If:

  • You're tired of the social media content treadmill
  • You want to leverage podcasting for professional and personal development
  • You're looking to build genuine relationships and connections
  • You have valuable knowledge to share but haven't found the right medium
  • You learn by doing and are willing to embrace imperfection in pursuit of growth

What You'll Discover Inside:

  • Why podcasting is so much more than just another content platform
  • The Passcode Theory for creating a uniquely powerful positioning
  • How to find your authentic voice using the Podcast Archetypes
  • Practical systems for never running out of ideas (Note Farming)
  • Blueprint to turn your podcast into a 24/7 conversion machine
  • How to survive "The Nobody Cares Phase" and overcome visibility fear
  • A complete 90-day launch strategy to get your show off the ground
  • And much more!

Beyond technical know-how, Pod Mahal is about using podcasting as a vehicle to build authority, attract aligned opportunities, and make your own luck.

Hey friend, Have you ever quit something too early only to watch someone else succeed exactly where you gave up? I've been there, and it's painful. But here's the thing: sometimes quitting is exactly what you should do. Contrary to popular belief, winners quit all the time. They just quit the right things at the right time. The trick is knowing the difference between a temporary setback and a permanent dead end. This is especially crucial when you're working on big projects or goals with...

Hi Reader, YouTube is no longer the only player in long-form video. In November 2024 on a podcast with Colin and Samir, Spotify CEO Daniel Ek revealed that Spotify now has a paying member base as large as Netflix's. This means that YouTube isn't the only option now for distributing video podcasts. The streaming giant has methodically positioned itself to become the Netflix of audio. And now, they're making their biggest move yet: a full-scale push into video podcasting. I wish they’d focus...

Hi Reader, In this email, I'm breaking down Justin Welsh's podcast strategy – one that doesn't require having your own podcast. First, some context... This isn't sponsored content. Justin doesn't know I'm analyzing his strategy, but I am a paying customer of his (LinkedIn OS, Content OS, and monthly templates for about 18 months now). I respect the way he's built his personal brand and think you'll appreciate some of these strategies even if you've never heard of Justin. The unfair advantages...
