🚀 In today’s fast-paced, content-driven world, traditional media is losing its grip, and a new force is taking over: Podcasting. You might be wondering why podcasting has become such a valuable medium in our current era. The answer lies in the way we consume content now. Think about it—how many people do you know still sit through commercials on TV? Almost none, right? We crave content that’s tailored specifically to our interests, delivered when and how we want it. This shift has paved the way for podcasting to become a powerful player in the media landscape.

The rise of podcasting is undeniable. We’re witnessing a surge in celebrities and thought leaders, many of whom wouldn’t have considered podcasting a few years ago, now scrambling to get in on the action. It’s an industry that’s on fire, and if you’re someone looking to boost your income, sell high-ticket products or services, or establish yourself as a thought leader, being a guest on podcasts is a game-changer. 🎙️

The Origin of Podcast Cola: From Serial Entrepreneur to Podcast Mogul

So, how did I get into this podcasting game? Let me take you back to the 1990s when I was busy creating multiple companies, one of which generated over a billion dollars in revenue. Fast forward to the COVID-19 pandemic—like many, I found myself with some extra time on my hands. I decided it was the perfect opportunity to write a book about my entrepreneurial journey. But once the book was finished, the challenge became: how do I get it out there? 📚

That’s when I noticed the rising popularity of podcasts. I thought, “This is perfect! I can do this from home, share my story for an hour, and reach an audience that might just lead to a major motion picture deal.” So, I dove in. I started reaching out to get booked on shows and quickly realized the potential of this platform. My wife, an amazing publicist with years of experience in New York, helped me build a team, and that’s how Podcast Cola was born.

Our approach paid off. I ended up doing over 300 shows, which eventually led to a major motion picture deal with an Academy Award-winning studio out of New York. This success story is a testament to the power of podcasting.

Podcasting: The Key to Personal and Business Growth

Podcasting isn’t just about sharing your story—it’s a tool for personal and business growth. When you start getting booked on podcasts, it does wonders for your communication skills. Even if you’re introverted or shy, podcasting can help you become a more effective communicator. The first time you do anything, you’re going to be terrible at it—let’s be real. But with practice, you’ll get better and better.

At Podcast Cola, we don’t just throw you into the deep end. We train you while you’re doing the shows. The first few episodes might be a bit rough, but after six months, you’ll see a massive improvement in your ability to communicate and engage with an audience. 🌟

One of our early clients, Fred Joy, is a perfect example. Fred wrote a book called “Superbold” and wanted to get the word out. We got him featured on over 75 podcasts in just one month, and the impact was incredible. His book became a bestseller, he started getting speaking gigs and consulting opportunities, and his business took off. That’s the kind of transformation podcasting can offer.

Training and Cost for Podcasting Services

Now, you might be wondering, “How much does all this cost?” Well, traditional PR services can range anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000 a month with no guarantees. At Podcast Cola, we offer full-service packages starting at $5,000 a month, but we recently introduced a more affordable option at just $4.97 a month for unlimited pitches. For most people, this means we can fill your calendar with as many podcast appearances as you can handle. 🎧

And if you have a specific budget or timeline in mind, we can customize a package that works for you. Don’t let budget constraints hold you back from tapping into the power of podcasting.

Final Thoughts: Embrace the Future of Media

As we move into this new era where traditional media is losing its influence, podcasting is only going to become more powerful. If you’re a speaker, writer, author, consultant, coach, or anyone selling a high-ticket product or service, now is the time to explore podcasting.
