Podcasting changed my life and put my brand on the map. It’s why I love helping entrepreneurs and underdogs use podcasts to build their brand, build their audience, and dominate their industry. When I got out of prison after doing 5 years of time, no one wanted to hire me, no one took me seriously, and no one wanted to collaborate. Refusing to be locked down by my past as an “ex-con-turned-entrepreneur” afterthought, I decided to launch a podcast, Underdog Empowerment. I saw it as an opportunity to share my story and give raw advice of what I learn to other underdogs who also want to beat the odds stacked against them. Within 3 days of its launch in 2018, Underdog Empowerment became a top-rated podcast on Apple. The following week, I got Billy Gene (Billy Gene is Marketing) on the show. From there, I continued to get around the greatest minds in the entrepreneurship game (Grant Cardone, Andy Frisella, Neil Patel, David Meltzer, etc.). Fast forward to today, I’ve: ➤ Interviewed 200+ celebrities and alpha entrepreneurs ➤ Served as a featured guest on 200+ podcasts ➤ Obtained features in Entrepreneur, The Good Men Project, Thrive Global, and Kivo Daily, and earned recognition as a “Top 21 Growing Podcast” from Yahoo Finance ➤ Created a 6-figure business with passive income In my podcast, I share about entrepreneurship, online marketing, and mental toughness so you can win and gain the respect you desire. I am proof that anyone who doubts you is just another opportunity for you to raise the standard, defy the odds, and prove them wrong. In addition to hosting the Underdog Empowerment podcast, I’ve developed a world-class podcast marketing system, The Penthouse Experience, and I’ve established an elite group coaching program, The Alpha Podcasting Association. If you’re ready to create a dominant brand and explosive business results with a top-rated podcast, let’s talk.
