How to Build a Top 1.5% Globally Ranked Podcast
Over five years ago, I launched a podcast with zero production experience, a lot of curiosity, and one goal: to empower business leaders to scale and exit with confidence. What started as the Game Changers Experience evolved into The Business Strategist – now downloaded in over 50 countries, with 360+ episodes and counting.
In this candid conversation with my long-time friend and leadership powerhouse Chris Salem, I share exactly how I built a podcast that’s stood the test of time while others faded out.
We talk consistency, strategy, brand evolution, why I never miss an episode (even on holiday!), and where this platform is headed next—including the exciting leap toward becoming a full media company.
Whether you're a founder, leader, or future podcaster, this episode will show you how to build something that lasts and grows with you.
Here's what I covered
Real Talk on Podcasting Longevity

Why Niche Beats Noise
We unpack why I intentionally didn’t chase the Joe Rogan model and why staying in your niche (scaling + exiting) builds deeper loyalty and bigger opportunities.
