    5 Key Takeaways

    1. Leverage podcasting for business development. David found success using a podcast to connect with high-level prospects, leading to millions in sales. Consider starting a show focused on your target market to build relationships.

    2. Explore fractional sales solutions. For B2B service companies struggling with sales, a fractional revenue team like Add 1 0 can provide the full sales function without the overhead of hiring internally.

    3. Streamline content production. Look into tools like Rig that enable real-time video production and multi-format content creation from a single recording session to maximize efficiency.

    4. Use AI strategically. Rather than relying on AI to generate content, use it to analyze existing content, sales calls, and customer interactions to derive strategic insights for your business.

    5. Prioritize ruthlessly. As an entrepreneur juggling multiple ventures, focus relentlessly on revenue-generating activities and build strong partnerships to divide responsibilities effectively.

    Tweetable Quotes"Experience is what allows you to recognize a mistake when you make it again. You had to screw up a lot. I don't know that I couldn't have done that at the beginning, but I am able to leverage it now.""I'm a revenue first guy. If we're going to do a company, everything's about revenue. The second thing is doing that in a high integrity way. The third is approaching it with calm confidence.""Wisdom is the accumulation of error. Why do you know that? Because I did it wrong so many times."Connect with David

    5 Key Takeaways

    1. Focus podcast marketing efforts on reaching existing podcast listeners rather than trying to convert non-listeners. Target places where podcast fans already congregate, like podcast newsletters and cross-promotions with other shows.

    2. Consider niche sponsorship opportunities for podcasts, even before launch. Approach companies in your podcast's industry about sponsoring a season, positioning it as an alternative to expensive conference booths.

    3. Use AI tools thoughtfully in podcasting, while being mindful of maintaining the human element. Look for ethical and culturally sensitive applications that enhance rather than replace human creativity.

    4. Explore co-production opportunities across countries and languages to expand your podcast's reach. Organizations like Wepod facilitate international podcast collaborations on shared topics.

    5. When interviewing high-profile guests like CEOs, approach the conversation with genuine curiosity. Ask open-ended questions and treat it like a natural conversation to put guests at ease.

    Tweetable Quotes"It's really so hard to convert someone from a non-listener to a listener and to a podcast lover. I try to do it with my friends all the time. Whatever conversation we're having, I tell them, I have a podcast for you. But they rarely listen, or if they do, they're not going to listen to a second one and get into the habit of it.""The best way to market your podcast is to go where podcast lovers already are. That's why we focus so much on cross promos and features in podcasting newsletters.""My main goal in whatever I do now is finding those clients and teams that I align with based on values and their passion for what they do. That's what really drives me at the end of the day."Connect with Andreea

    5 Key Takeaways

    1. Cultivate awareness through movement. Somatic practices can help uncover subconscious patterns and increase intuition. Try incorporating mindful movement or body-based practices into your routine.

    2. Seek balance between catharsis and integration. While intense experiences can be transformative, sustainable growth requires ongoing integration. Look for ways to process and apply insights from peak experiences in daily life.

    3. Explore elderhood as a journey, not just an age. Regardless of your years, consider how you can cultivate wisdom and take on mentorship roles. Reflect on what you have to offer younger generations.

    4. Practice attunement to natural rhythms. Notice how aligning with cycles like sunrise and sunset affects your energy and awareness. Experiment with adjusting your schedule to sync with nature's patterns.

    5. Embrace the "Third Way" in relationships and decision-making. When faced with polarities, look for emergent solutions that honor multiple perspectives. Cultivate both personal sovereignty and collective responsibility.

    Tweetable Quotes"The body keeps the story. Even the brain - there's no hard drive in the head. They keep looking for the memories there. They're not going to find them. Because they're in the soft tissues. And they're actually in the space around us.""The Third Way speaks to what's emergent. We always want to honor tradition, but tradition has also failed. We have to be real about that. These new traditions that will be born will be a third way between the human being suspended between the cosmos and land.""I've changed my mind about aging. I used to fear it, pulling out gray hairs and worrying about wrinkles. Now I'm savoring the age I'm at and have a beautiful curiosity about where it's going. I don't want to get old - I want to get elder."Connect with Hunter
