If you live anywhere around Western Connecticut, you probably don’t check the weather app anymore… you check Jack Drake.

In this episode, Matt sits down with the “Danbury Weather Guy” to talk about how he built a massive local following just by consistently showing up, explaining the weather in a way people actually understand, and not overhyping every storm.

They get into:

How it all started (with no real plan)

Why avoiding sensationalism has actually built more trust

What goes into creating his daily forecasts and contentAnd how he’s beginning to monetize it with sponsors and new ideas

It’s also a really interesting look at how local media is evolving, this isn’t a TV station, it’s one person with the right information, delivering value every single day.

If you’ve ever thought about building an audience, this episode is a great reminder that consistency and trust still win.
