If you’re an entrepreneur, business owner, or industry leader, then you’ve more than likely heard the phrase, “cashflow is king” or “cash is king.” Just because you make millions of dollars a year doesn’t mean you pocket millions of dollars.

Quotes:

Mark Crandall

“Podcasting is all about having a platform to leverage to build relationships with other humans.”
“Newsflash: The higher level the guest is, the less likely they are to share out the episode that they do with you.”
“There are people who are looking to serve and those that are looking to use.”

Tom Schwab

“You pitch a baseball but you introduce a human being.”
“When people are pitching, it's dehumanizing. And it’s dehumanizing to the host. It basically says, hey, I want to use and abuse your podcast for my transaction, or have a one night stand.”
“If we start with the connection with a method of service and a heart of service, that will go a lot farther than doing as a transaction because podcasters can see that transaction from a mile away.”
“The whole goal is to build relationships, not only with the host but with the audience.”
“Instead of jab, jab, jab, right hook, I say serve, serve, serve, ask.”
“Make sure that you offer clear value and make sure it's clear that you're not there selling.”
“There are three types of people that podcast hosts want to have on their show: friends, friends of friends, and people they want to be their friends.”
“Relationships are the ultimate currency. That's where you get a richer life from. It's not from all these little transactions.”
‘People have no idea how much harm that they are doing to their brand by robo-pitching or by abusing their audience.”
“You aren't one funnel away, you are on conversation away.”
“You can only sell out your audience one time then you're exposed for who you are.”
