Today we are talking to Joe Sanok, a TEDx and keynote speaker who happens to have  #1 podcast for private practices, The Practice of the Practice Podcast. We actually met Joe at a mastermind event and we were blown away by what’s he’s doing in the podcasting space, so we invited him on the show to share, and we promise you will not be disappointed. He’s got a lot of listeners and has niched it down to people who have private practices. 

Joe’s podcast gets 100,000 downloads per month and today’s episode is full of rich content.  We talk about what to do if you are just starting out, the best way to get super fans quick, how to reach out to influencers as well what questions to ask before you put together your first product for your listeners. 

He’s also got smart ways on how to monetize and grow the podcast to turn listeners into customers. When you’re done listening, be sure to check out our other shows with Nicole Holland and Esther Kiss, for more podcast tips, strategies and how to get on those shows you want most.
