On the show today is Matt Johnson. Matt is the author of MicroFamous and founder of Pursuing Results, a podcasting agency.
I wanted to bring him on because Matt is all about building expertise and authority in order to build an audience that you can monetize. He's started multiple successful podcasts and has a unique view about what it takes to build a business on the audience you've built.
You'll hear about how to do marketing as an introvert, staying true to who you are, and how to be influential without a huge audience.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
