What do you Need to Know from Our Interview with John?

The Secret Sauce…

If you planning to start a podcast, make it a goal to get past nine episodes.

90% of podcasts don’t make it past the ninth episode, so you be in that 10% and be unstoppable.

On another note, do you remember trying to apply for an internship or entry-level job, but it requires experience?

If so, we live in the best time to create your own experiences to leverage.

That is what John did; he leveraged both his coaching career at his local high school and his podcast, Gen Z Hoops, to be able to work for the NBA.

Now he can do what he loves and expand his network!

Have a great day, and see you next week :)
