In today’s episode we are discussing monetization, growth and systems around podcasting as we nerd out talking to Charley Valher. Charley has a podcast as well called the Business of Podcasting (we highly recommend you listen to episode #1) as well as his business Valher Media where he helps people grow and monetize their podcast. 

Even if you don't have a podcast, you’re definitely going to want to listen in as you may change your mind.  We talk about what industries the podcast space is disrupting, where podcasting is headed, and why it’s so important. There’s so much going on in the podcast world right now and we are extremely bullish on the medium. We also have some great insights on what’s happening down the road and we know that in five years, it’s going to be off the charts.

After you’ve taken this all in, be sure to check out our episodes with Jonathan Rivera and Tom Schwab for even more podcasting strategies for growth, guest appearances and raising your awareness with your intended audience.
