In this episode of The Revenue Career Ladder, host Jamie Pagan speaks with Tom Hunt, the founder of Fame, a B2B podcast agency that helps businesses leverage podcasts for growth. Tom takes us through his unconventional career journey—from working in a family-run takeaway to launching multiple entrepreneurial ventures, before settling on creating one of the most successful podcast agencies in the industry.

Tom reflects on his time at Ernst & Young and Accenture, where he honed his people management and consulting skills, before deciding that being employed wasn’t for him. His entrepreneurial journey began with a small leggings business, then evolved into running podcasts and building Fame, which focuses on creating and promoting podcasts for B2B companies. 

Tom shares how he managed to combine his experience in consulting with his passion for marketing and how this led to the creation of Fame, which now helps clients grow their audiences and generate leads through strategic podcasting.

Expect to learn:

• How Tom’s early work in a family takeaway taught him valuable lessons about responsibility and attention to detail
• The benefits of working in large consulting firms like Ernst & Young and Accenture and how they shaped his approach to managing people and running meetings
• The power of leveraging personal brand and audience-building strategies for B2B marketing
• How creating podcasts for sales and marketing teams can significantly boost visibility and generate new business
• Key lessons from Tom’s entrepreneurial ventures, including the importance of sticking with a successful business idea rather than jumping to the next project
• How to use freelancing as a stepping stone to create a scalable business
• The value of focusing on freedom and personal growth in your career, and why it’s essential to do what aligns with your core values
