Welcome to our usual Q&A on Friday on The Solopreneur Hour, we're glad to have you here! On today's show I give you a quick update on The Outlier Conference, Creative Live with John Lee Dumas, Planecast, iTunes reviews, and of course, we answer a bunch of your questions!
Thank you for joining us on this 171st episode of The Solopreneur Hour. Let's get to it!
More About This Show
We have a few housekeeping items to cover before I give you the A's to your Q's. First off the Outlier Conference has been cancelled, they had a major logistics issue and it's off. While I'm disappointed not to be their keynote speaker, I'm excited that I can go to Pittsburgh and watch my Steelers that weekend for my birthday.
That's the weekend of October 25th and 26th. The game is on Sunday (the 26th, which happens to be my birthday) but if you're in the area let's arrange a one-day mastermind on the 25th. If I get 5 or more of you who want to gather we'll make it happen. Tweet me and let me know asap if that's you!
On to our next housekeeping item, I'll be on Creative Live on October 15th in San Francisco. It's all about podcasting as seen through the eyes of someone brand new to the podcasting world. None other than Alex Blumberg of NPR is putting it on. It's a big, big deal and I'm stoked to be a part of the presentation! Check out the Resources section to find out what Creative Live is as well as Alex's podcast. I'll also be doing a one-day mastermind in San Francisco around that time, IF I get enough listeners' interest. Again Tweet me if you want in and we'll hang out!
Speaking of podcasting, Monday's show is going to be a special one. My friend and 3-time co-host of the show, Mr. John Lee Dumas, will be our co-host again for our next episode. Why is that special? Because John and I will be recording the show while we're in the air flying to Greg Hickman's wedding in Denver, CO. Come back on Monday to have a listen, it's our first planecast and it'll be awesome!
Finally, I give a shout out to a few people for leaving reviews. Listen in and find out if you were one of them. And if you want to be mentioned in a future show, leave a review here! And if you have questions you want to ask me for upcoming Friday Q & A's, join us on Facebook and submit your question on Thursday when I post asking for 'em. On that note, let's get to your questions...

Wade Sarver
So, when starting a podcast from ground 0, how should we gauge our expectation for listeners? What I mean is, if we have 1000 people following our blog, should we expect all 1000 people to listen to the podcast within the first month? I hope that makes sense.
