Is this thing on?

Backstory… I met Sam at a live taping of MFM in Miami. I was compelled to swing by for the same reason that everyone else was. Great podcast. Compelling hosts. And great community of entrepreneurially minded folks.

I spoke to Sam for a minute. Nice guy, was met with a smile, and we spoke about podcasts and cars (shared interests). He was clearly focused on podcast growth. I thought, ‘maybe I can help here, given that I help run a podcast agency and run two podcast festivals.’

Needless to say, I got Sam to participate in one of those conferences in a conversation with Jordan Harbinger. The topic of that conversation… growth. Love the focus!

On a recent episode, I listened to Sam and Shaan brainstorm in real time about how to spend their marketing budget for MFM. Solutions they came up with were getting people to remix content for them and effectively make memes… the winner each month gets money. And, the other was to have listeners leave reviews and they pick a winner each month to give $1,000.

That’s what the MFM community is all about. Ideas, execution, test and learn and don’t be afraid to take alternative approaches.

And, so here I am, writing a review… less for the money and more for the love of the game. You need to listen to this podcast because like all the great podcasts, this is a community, not just two people speaking into a mic. And, this community is all about optimism, self improvement and making money. Can’t go wrong there!
