What you are about to learn today are 3 reason's why you should start a podcast and I am going to tell you what a podcast can do to bring you more exposure and audience growth.

3 Reason's Why You Should Start a Podcast 

Let me just start out by saying that if you have any fears about putting your voice out there on the internet, podcasting can and will make you face your fears like a man, critical lesson from my Hardcover Book. 

And honestly, if there is one thing I want you all to learn about podcasting, that is you are public speaking. It takes a shit ton of guts for me to post podcasts such as Tease Girl's to Want to Kiss You (X Rated Podcast) for example.

With that said, something I want to get off my chest really fast is I don’t expect any of you to start a podcast on dirty talking.

Put simply, I want you learn How to Conquer Your Fears. And I also want you to consistently push your limits if podcasting genuinely makes you nervous. 

In this article, I intend to give you reasons you should start a podcast, so keep reading. Starting a podcast involves more than just launching episodes; it requires strategic planning and a thorough understanding of your target audience.

You Can Promote What You Love Doing

Part of what I love doing is Bio-Hacking. In fact I use Brain.FM when I write my blog articles.

The focus tracks turns on your thinking cap. The relaxation tracks helps you relax prior to flirting with girls. Because let's face it, you need relaxed confidence. 

Any of you that have heard my intense episodes, I do not predict when I lose my shooter marble.

But to be honest with you all, how I stay centered, grounded, complete calm, cool and comfortable at all times is daily meditation.

And I use Brain.FM. I promote this for good reason on my podcast. Most people watch Hulu, NetFlix, or fucking Amazon Prime. That is literally designed to suck you in and you start binge watching pointless crap. 

You see why I promote Brain.FM? It is FREE for one week. You can unsubscribe if you truly don't want to use it after the week is up.

You Can Speak About What You Coach

You hear me on the introduction of my fitness & masculinity podcasts say the following statement...

"You are listening to the Masculine Mindset Show... A podcast for men to develop a backbone, a masculine purpose if you will, and get more physically attractive, and even become more mentally healthy. I turn nice introverts in to fit, self-entitled savages."

Here's what I coach above all... I coach men to get their healthy habits right. I coach men to eliminate all vices. And I coach men to harden the fuck up to become a better man and women are secondary.

That means I am a personal trainer at heart brothers. I speak about this in many of my podcasts, for example, HOW TO CHANGE YOUR LIFE Featuring Mike.

Yes, I will always talk about dating as that is a significant factor in having healthy relationships. I also love talking about flirting. But men must prioritize themselves. That right there is what I coach. People often call that self-entitlement, but you know what? 

Women are self-entitled to have unrealistic standards of wanting a man who makes 100K+ a year. Don't believe me? I am acquainted with Jared Laurence (Author of the Book, The Psychology of Modern Flirting), he has interviewed girls who make that extremely clear. But you really shouldn't listen to girls for dating advice, except the creator of The F Formula, also Kristen Carney.

Networking is Why You Must Start a Podcast

Have you seen Michael Sartian's YouTube Channel? He speaks about networking in this podcast. And he is a pretty damn cool guy. 

To be clear with all of you, regardless of my article on Manosphere, I believe what Michael does is positive. 

What podcasting can do for you is you can network with people you have interviewed.

For example, I interviewed and networked with Zack Zeller, he used to be CEO of Team Capital, I am of course referring to Jason Capital. 

And yes, I am in Jason's community brothers. What Zack helped me with is he proofread and formatted 77 Ways to Develop a Masculine Mindset.

So anyone you interview on your podcast, you can partner with them and start projects together. Big thanks to Zack!!

It's Free to Start a Podcast

I remember starting out my podcast as a dirty talk session with one of my previous partners.

And people do get jealous, funny enough. Listen you guys, my podcast is hands down for adults only. Quick side note.

I remember she showed me how to start a podcast in Spotify for Podcasters, read more in this article on this story.

I found out quickly that it is free to start a podcast. And it’s easy to do it. However, I should add that Mike Rags reached out to me from PodkastPlus.

So now, I am paying for that platform, but it’s cheap. Either way if you want to interview big name guests, that’s the right platform to use.

But if you are starting out, it is free. And you don’t need a massive following to make money either. Plus, many platforms offer unlimited podcasts, which can greatly benefit your podcasting strategy. Speaking from experience.

You Can Grow Your Target Audience
