Additional topics covered include the challenges of measuring podcast success, the potential of AI tools in streamlining podcast production, and Jullian's journey from Madagascar to becoming a podcast strategist. He also shares his experiences working on various shows and his current project, the Podcaster's Toolkit.

FullCast – https://fullcast.co/

1. Leverage your existing audience and ecosystem to grow your podcast. Without a built-in community or distribution channels, even great content can struggle to find listeners.

2. Focus on engagement metrics beyond just downloads, like email list growth or audience interactions. These can be more meaningful indicators of success, especially for business-oriented shows.

3. Explore AI tools and automation to streamline your podcasting workflow. Simple scripts or browser extensions can save significant time on repetitive tasks.

4. Consider a niche focus for your podcast to attract targeted sponsors and generate revenue, even with a smaller audience. Vertical-specific shows can be very appealing to marketers.

5. Develop a range of skills as a "jack of all trades" in podcasting. Being versatile in areas like audio editing, video production, and AI tools can make you more adaptable in the evolving podcast landscape.

3. Use AI tools thoughtfully in podcasting, while being mindful of maintaining the human element. Look for ethical and culturally sensitive applications that enhance rather than replace human creativity.

4. Explore co-production opportunities across countries and languages to expand your podcast's reach. Organizations like Wepod facilitate international podcast collaborations on shared topics.

3. Develop a "dream 100" list of potential guests whose stories of surviving and thriving you'd love to feature. Use this as motivation and a guide for growing your show.

4. Improve your guest follow-up process. After publishing an episode, send your guest a package with links to the episode, social media copy, and graphics they can use to promote their appearance.

5. Focus on creating a safe space for guests to share vulnerable stories. Practice active listening, allow for pauses and silence, and remember there are three people in each conversation - you, your guest, and the listener.
