The Writer Files: Writing, Productivity, Creativity, and Neuroscience

How Veteran Podcaster and Content Marketer Jerod Morris Writes

Listen Later

The Showrunner behind multiple top-ranking podcasts and Vice President of Marketing for the Rainmaker.FM podcast network, Jerod Morris, paid me a visit this week to talk about his beginnings as a writer, podcaster, and digital marketer.

Mr. Morris started out online as a sports blogger and became the editor of a high-traffic blog that was tapped by Fox Sports.

His blogging has led to quite a few opportunities for the writer, including:

  • Co-founding a WordPress hosting company
  • Leading the editorial team for Copyblogger.com
  • Launching and co-hosting multiple top-ranked podcasts
  • … and becoming the VP of Marketing for the Rainmaker.FM podcast network — to name only a few

    • On the eve of the launch of his new Showrunner Podcasting Course, we had a chance to talk shop.

    In this file Jerod Morris and I discuss:

    • How Sports Blogging Led to a Host of Opportunities
    • A Simple Writing Hack for Email Marketers
    • Why Writing Makes You a Better Podcaster
    • How Scheduling Greatly Increases Your Productivity
    • Why Writers Need to Embrace Their Imperfection
    • How to Infuse Everything You Do with Creativity
    • Some Very Wise Words from Teddy Roosevelt
