Mark sits down with John Taylor, founder of The ACT3 Agency, to unpack the business of podcasting. They discuss how storytelling builds trust, why video has become essential, and how to approach podcasting as a strategic marketing tool rather than just another content channel. John shares insights on optimizing discoverability through his Listener Discoverability Optimization (LDO) framework, balancing AI automation with authenticity, and why niche shows often convert better than chasing massive audiences. Whether you're looking to start a podcast or improve your existing one, this episode offers practical advice for building authority, connecting with the right audience, and leveraging AI without losing your voice!
