How do I grow my podcast? How do I grow my business? 

They seem like good questions, but in reality, they’re a bit open-ended… hard to define. What does “grow” even mean? 

I’m doing something totally different in this bonus episode!

This month is all about COLLABORATION on the Content with Character podcast and in the name of collaboration, I wanted to share this powerful takeaway from a fellow podcaster and collaborator, Dave Campbell. 

Dave is here to bring insights that will help you focus on who's already engaged, already listening, and already cheering you on to GROW. 

Key Takeaways:

  • How to define what growth actually means for your business or podcast
  • Embracing the power of one listener and the ripple effect they can create
  • Shifting your mindset from building an audience to building a community
  • Engaging with current listeners to increase loyalty and retention
  • Measuring success through depth of connection, not just downloads.

About Dave and his link: 

Empty nest Dad, musician, podcaster, and collector of people - I love having conversations with creative people and building bridges with others via podcasting. In a world that seems to value our differences over what we have in common, I am hoping that we can leverage the power of our words and a life well lived and well loved.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
