GROWTH: Podcasting Reinvented: Guang Jin's YouTube Secret to Explosive Growth

 ”Once it's animated or once it has a video component, it's no longer cheap. And the reason is because I think cheap television has certain characteristics which a narrative podcast doesn't.” - Guang Jin

Talking to Guang Jin absolutely blew my mind. He didn’t just share his journey—he redefined how we should think about podcasting in the modern age. His insights into transitioning from audio-only to video were like a wake-up call for me. 

Video isn’t just an add-on to podcasting; it’s a rocket booster for growth, engagement, and reaching new audiences. The numbers he’s achieved on YouTube are incredible, and his strategies prove that video is no longer optional—it’s essential. 

If you’re not thinking about integrating YouTube into your podcasting game yet, you’re already behind the curve.
