Description



Silicon Valley tech executive Chris Christensen reveals how he built a six-figure podcasting business while working 60+ hour weeks at companies like Apple and eBay. Learn how his "stupid idea" for a travel show launched in 2005 grew to 4 million annual downloads and unlocked adventures to 75 countries, including press credentials alongside the Pope. Chris shares his counter-intuitive interview approach that radio consultants hated but listeners loved, his ruthless content standards that protect audience trust, and the exact revenue breakdown of his $100K business. Discover why consistency trumps talent, how 47 episodes per year created a retirement dream job, and why Chris believes podcasting is a marathon, not a sprint - with 97% of shows never reaching his download numbers.
