Anthony Perl tackles the single biggest objection he hears from business owners: “Should I really be podcasting?” His answer is unequivocal — yes, and here’s why.
With 1.5 billion monthly podcast listeners and only 225,000 active business podcasts globally, the playing field is remarkably uncrowded. Anthony breaks down the real numbers, debunks the “too many podcasts” myth, and explains why your website — no matter how polished — can never do what a podcast does: put the real, unedited you in front of your audience.
You’ll hear why podcasting is the only marketing tool that feeds every other platform, why referrals are far less controllable than you think, and why there is no “next thing” around the corner that will replace the power of your authentic voice.
If you’re a business owner, a consultant, an author, or anyone with expertise to share, this episode is your wake-up call. Podcasting is not optional. It’s compulsory.
