Customer Reviews
Couldn’t be more impressed!
First heard Kevin on another podcast, The Online Course Show. His knowledge of podcasting is absolutely unreal and his tactics are all easily digestible and rooted in great experiences. It’s almost unreal how much information he packs into one episode. I’m very intrigued by his offering and community and will be checking it out soon!
A must-listen for podcasters
If you’re someone who podcasts, or is thinking about starting one, you have to listen to the show. in fact, after listening to just the first few episodes, I was compelled to enroll in Kevin‘s Grow the Show course. besides being extremely knowledgeable about podcasts, Kevin also has the best in the podcasting industry. Come on as guests to go deep into podcasting topics. I listen to this show in it’s entirety every week
Dependable and Practical Insight and Coaching
i’ve been listening to Kevin for a couple years now, and also went through one of his programs. He is a great guy and provides real value in all of the ways in which you might interact with him. Definitely recommend him. My podcast and Business are better from soaking in his knowledge.
