Podcasting Icon

JLD is an icon in podcasting. He created his online empire starting with his daily podcast, now with over 3000 episodes. And anyone producing a podcast, or any online platform from blog to YouTube channel, will do well to emulate what he has done and what he shares with us each day on his show.

Most people are going to die in this world, having never identified their Big Idea. – John Lee Dumas

During our interview, he gave us a glimpse into his story and how it is reflected in the book. For example, 10 years ago, when he started out, he knew he wanted to produce a podcast. But he wanted to really stand out, so he did his research. He decided to focus on a topic in the business realm. But as he describes in the interview, he needed to niche down so he could dominate in his chosen subject. So he decided to focus on podcasts dealing with entrepreneurs. 

You are going to win by creating the best solution to a real problem. – John Lee Dumas

But there were 7 such podcasts already addressing the topic. So, he niched down further, becoming the one and only DAILY podcast dedicated to bringing stories about entrepreneurial topics to his listeners every single day – something nobody else was doing.

How to Create Uncommon Success

Here are some of the 17 steps to create uncommon success that he mentions during our interview:

  • Find your BIG IDEA and your Zone of Fire (Chapter #1)
  • Overcome existing competition by discovering your niche – a void not being filled by anyone else (Chapter #2)
  • JLD’s favorite chapter: creating a content production plan with Kate Erickson (Chapter #7)
  • The final chapter: keeping the money you make with Remit Sethi (Chapter #17)

This is the culmination of his 3,000 interviews, all boiled down. These are the tactics he has used to achieve success. And, according to JLD, the book outlines in detail how to implement the right tactics as you follow his 17 steps to create uncommon success.

Summary

I am so glad I was able to connect with JLD. He tossed out numerous value-bombs for us to consider. And I enjoyed getting a glimpse of what went into writing and publishing the book. 

I recommend you pre-order a copy now because there are many awesome bonuses that disappear after the 23rd of March. They include a copy of the Podcast Journal, Mastery Journal, and Freedom Journal, each one a bestseller itself.
