JEFF DAULER: IF THIS DOESN'T WORK, IT'S MY FAULT

Decades in radio, countless lessons—this chat is long overdue. Jeff Dauler and I have been circling the same industry for years—same markets, same radio world, even the same host at different times. Now, we finally sit down to unpack everything we’ve learned about podcasting, branding, and making content that actually pays off.

Jeff Dauler, a former major market radio producer turned podcast consultant, joins me to break down everything from finding your niche to landing big local sponsors—and trust me, I’m still trying to process all the ideas he threw at me. If you’ve ever wondered how to package what you do in a way that actually makes money (or why your podcast isn’t getting the traction you want), this episode is for you.

🔹 How to leverage radio sales skills in the podcast world

🔹 Why packaging your content right changes everything

🔹 How to make big sponsors take you seriously

🔹 The mindset shift that puts success (or failure) on you

This one’s packed with insight, strategy, and a little bit of tough love. Hit play, take notes, and let’s level up together.
