Episode Description
No business is an island and no influencer is either. This week on Finding Certainty, we have the extraordinary pleasure of hearing from two icons in the world of business and professional podcasting, with Jason Miller and Phillip Lanos, co-hosts of the top 1.5% podcast worldwide, Strategic Advisor Board - War Room Round Table podcast. During the show, Finding Certainty host, Patrick Laing, discusses with Jason and Phillip their unique history and insights into podcasting in general and what makes for a successful show, and more. We discuss Jason's 25+ years in the U.S. military, Phillip's background with the Entrepreneur and Inc. podcast team/s, and their work with Strategic Advisor Board. Jason and Phillip share how business owners (and, all of us, really) are usually unable to grow beyond our own self-development capacity, willingness to evolve, and ability to "leave our ego at the door." They discuss what makes a good podcast and a good business in general, breaking down several of the elements that have made their podcast a leader in the industry and how they have individually and collectively garnered impressive attention with appearances on everything from Good Morning America to Forbes Magazine to Entrepreneur Magazine, and more. If you've ever thought about starting your own podcast or would like to make your current effort stronger, if you'd like to learn how to promote your own business better, join us and enjoy this unique opportunity of learning from two of the best in the business. Welcome to Certainty.
