How do I start a podcast? How do I grow my podcast? How do I find and pitch great guests? And how, do I myself, get on amazing shows and leverage them better?

If any of these questions have crossed your mind lately, this is THE episode for you!

I had the pleasure to interview Daniel Gefen, an expert when it comes to all things podcasting. He is the founder of Podbooker, a podcast booking platform and host of the popular podcast show “Can I pick your brain?”, which has grown to over 250,000+ downloads.

What we cover:

• How Daniel started with podcasting and when he experienced that it took off
• How to NOT pitch to podcast hosts
• How letting go, intentions and responsibility play a key role in long-term success and creative development
• Why hopping on the podcast train is a golden opportunity, now more than ever before
• The future of podcasting

As we are recording this, there are about 1 million podcast shows in the world. It’s still the early days, so do check this episode out so you can discover the magnificent world of podcasting as well!

About Daniel Gefen:

Daniel went from jumping on classroom tables and getting detention for wanting attention to impacting millions of people in his underwear.

He went from being completely invisible with no online following to growing his top-rated podcast to over 250,000 downloads, interviewing billionaires and world class leaders and becoming an international bestselling author in less than 2 years.

After being pitched hundreds of times by lazy PR agencies he launched Gefen Media Group - one of the first podcast booking agencies and helped influential authors sell hundreds of thousands of books by getting them on top rated podcasts.

Seeing a gap in the market for people who couldn't afford to hire a booking agency, he launched Podbooker - a platform for guests and hosts to easily connect.

Daniel lives in Israel with his wife of 13 years and 5 little rascals.
