    How to Get Brand Deals Before You Have 1,000 Downloads with Madelyn from The Healthy Hustler

    Most podcasters think they need thousands of downloads before a brand will take them seriously. Madelyn from The Healthy Hustlers monetised within her first six months.

    Building Australia’s First Podcast Community Space with Arielle Thomas

    Most podcasters don’t quit because they hate podcasting. They quit because they’re stuck in the middle and unsure if what they’re doing is working, having intrusive thoughts that ask if they should be further along by now and quietly questioning whether all the effort they put in is worth it. It’s not easy. So today I’m talking to Arielle Thomas, the incredible founder and creative behind Cinemas Thom, and host of the Process The Podcast which interviews the creatives behind some of the biggest campaigns and brands. It’s a conversation about what a podcast looks like while you’re juggling everything else in your life, whether that’s running a business, working in a career, studying or just managing a busy life.  We chat about:  🎙️ The resilience it takes to keep showing up when there’s no obvious way to tell if you’re on the right track 🎙️ Keeping a podcast running when some episodes hit and others don’t 🎙️ How podcasting can turn guests into adult friendships 🎙️ Building a team offshore to help with your production Want to hear more about the Clubhouse?
