#56: The Podcasting Business with John Lee Dumas

Today on the show we’re chatting with John Lee Dumas, host and founder of Entrepreneur On Fire! Completely taking over the entrepreneurship podcasting space in the early 2010’s, getting millions of downloads each month, helping people learn about being an entrepreneur. This episode we go over why you have to learn to not quit in order to be successful in the podcasting space, why having passion for what you do is not enough in today’s world, and how the higher the barrier is set, the lower the competition will be. When John started his podcast, he was the only one putting out as much content as he was. People gravitated towards his podcast, because there was such little competition.   Links:    Follow True Underdog on IG: www.instagram.com/true_underdog Reach out to Jayson directly at [email protected] Follow Jayson on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jayson-waller-/ Follow Jayson on Instagram: www.instagram.com/jaysonwallerbam Check out our website to meet the team, view show notes and transcripts: www.trueunderdog.com Apply for a chance to receive a $10,000 business grant: https://trueunderdog.com/underdog-achievers-program/   Mentioned in the Episode:   JLD’s Podcast: https://www.eofire.com/podcast/ JLD’s Website: https://www.eofire.com/ JLD’s Book: https://uncommonsuccessbook.com JLD’s Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/johnleedumas/   Timestamps:   1:53 - How JLD Got Into Podcasting 4:23 - Why JLD Chose Entrepreneurs on Fire 6:23 - First Years of EOF 8:04 - Learning to Not Quit 11:13 - Having Passion For Your Business 12:37 - Transition to Puerto Rico 14:40 - Overcoming Covid-19 as a Business 17:09 - Capitalizing on the Pandemic 18:08 - Tips for Starting a Podcast 20:38 - Generating Revenue for Your Podcast 21:26 - Biggie or Tupac 23:11 - Goals for 2021 Learn more about your ad choices.
