A night flight to a far off shore. The sound of the airplane soaring through the skies, all asleep in a moment of bliss.

Jesse James Arrigo is a baby that shouldn't be. Before he was even born, his mother had surgery while fighting cervical cancer and was told she could never have children. A year later, Jessie was born.

But this was just the start of his incredible story.

Imagine being behind a waterfall, as the water pours down and the froth collects at the bottom of the falls. The peaceful noise of the flow.

Imagine if people and businesses made a slightly different choice, and how that could improve the world.

Today, it's my pleasure to welcome Jeff Umbro to the show. Jeff is the CEO of The Podglomerate, and helps brands and independent podcasters foster their ideas through conception, development, production, and distribution. This includes monetization through ad sales, premium content, and live events. 

Jeff's most recent project saw him as the Executive Producer of Missing Pages, a Podglomerate original that used a host of marketing tactics and initiatives to take it from launch to a hugely successful project. 

We'll be chatting about that and more in this episode, including:

• how his background at a book company prepared him for the podcasting space
• why the best podcast ideas can come from secondary topics
• how holistic marketing remains key
• the recent pushback on buying downloads on mobile games

Our minds are so free as kids. We imagine everything and anything. Our creativity knows no limits, and our imagination is boundless.

When do we lose that?

For many of us, long term vision can be a scary concept. This is understandable, because it usually means that we have to put our faith in something we're doing now even though it's not showing a return until much later.

But here's the thing - big successes all failed to start with, in one way or another.

In May 2020, Spotify shook the podcasting world when it announced it had signed the hugely popular YouTube show, The Joe Rogan Experience, to an exclusive deal on Spotify.

The deal meant Rogan’s show would only be available on Spotify, and his back catalogue of videos on YouTube would be removed.

It was part of a huge acquisition journey by Spotify, in their goal to be the number one audio-on-demand platform. But with news that several exclusive podcasts are leaving, and listener numbers down dramatically for some exclusive shows, is the sheen coming off the exclusive approach?
