“Boom shake the room Fire Nation listeners,” in this episode Mike and Eric review the podcast "Entrepreneurs On Fire" with John Lee Dumas. “EOFire” is an award-winning podcast where “JLD” interviews inspiring entrepreneurs looking for specific gems to share in episodes typically under 30 minutes.
If you're struggling with monetization and looking to see how one of the best in the business has developed a system that includes daily (that’s right daily) podcasts, affiliate marketing, sponsorship, short podcasting advice videos, books, and more, JLD is well worth checking out. Indeed 3,000 episodes and 10 years in the trenches does result in some valuable lessons.
Should you have a mantra for each podcast, like ensuring you deliver “3 Value Bombs” per episode? Can you be too over the top? Can being the hardest working guy in the industry pay off? Are entrepreneurship-focused podcasts the easiest ticket if profitability is your main goal? How important is relatability to your audience when it comes to podcasting? These questions and more are discussed in this podcast which is worth a listen just to understand what’s possible if you dedicate yourself to the craft and work your tail off!
For this review we will focus on JLD’s December 3, 2021 episode: Isolation is the Enemy of Excellence with Aaron Walker.

The Unspeakable Podcast with Meghan Daum
April 20, 2022
•28m
Many podcasters have decided that the road to success lies in the discussion of controversial and taboo topics. But does it?
Indeed, Meghan Daum is not afraid to talk about the “unspeakable”, including her own challenges with monetizing her podcast.
In this episode Mike and Eric review "The Unspeakable Podcast" where Meghan conducts candid, free-ranging interviews with artists, entertainers, journalists, scientists, scholars, and anyone else who’s willing to do the “unspeakable” and question prevailing cultural and moral assumptions.
If you choose to name your podcast “The Unspeakable” (or something similar), how controversial must your content be? Can you occasionally stray from this? Is the contentious element clearly obvious to the listener? If you decide to interview two guests at once, do you understand why and how these two guests will both add value to the discussion you’re trying to have? If you have a deeper and longer history with one of the guests, does this imbalance affect the interview? These questions and more are discussed in this podcast which is worth a listen particularly to see how engaged Meghan gets with her guests, and if this interaction could be improved upon.
For this review we will focus on Meghan’s November 1, 2021 episode: Bitter Homes and Gardens: Larry Clarke and Fielding Edlow on Staying Afloat, Staying in Love, and Staying Insured in Hollywood.

We also talk about Meghan’s struggles with monetization and how much we enjoyed her very candid self-reflection in this episode:
