An inside look at a Top 10 Apple Podcast

I've published an episode of Creative Elements every week since March 2020. I feel pretty great about that – it feels like an accomplishment!
...but this week's guest on the show puts me to absolute shame.
Omar Zenhom is the host of the $100 MBA and he has published a DAILY podcast for more than EIGHT YEARS.
We're talking about more than 2000 total episodes and more than 200 MILLION downloads all time. Currently, that puts him around 125K downloads per month.
I hope you can feel my excitement from these ALL CAPS statements.
We get super tactical in this episode – we talk about his production process to handle a daily show (he's usually about 4 weeks ahead of production) and everything he's learned for growing a podcast into a Top 10 show on Apple Podcasts.

But as creators, we often think of our businesses differently. We focus on constantly creating new things – new content, new products, and new sales campaigns.
What if we thought of our businesses as machines??
