What you're about to hear in this episode is an in-depth conversation between myself and Brian O'Leary, host of the O'Leary Review podcast. Brian published this interview in early 2023, and gave me permission to publish on my own show!
In this episode, Brian and I discuss the significance of finding one's voice in the podcasting world, or any realm regarding content creation, and core principles of publishing, which remain surprisingly consistent even with radically changing publishing modalities.
We share insights into the impact of word-of-mouth advertising over traditional SEO strategies, our own journeys into podcasting, and the value of principled work.
We also touch upon my background in the military and conscientious objection, lessons learned working with influencers like Ben Greenfield, and the core idea that passion and integrity attract audiences.
