Brett had been podcasting for 160+ episodes and he knew something had to change. Specific guests weren't landing with his audience. He was feeling the burnout. He then decided to PIVOT with his podcast and now he's interviewing celebrities and reaching over 8,000 listeners an episode. He's releasing 3 to 5 episodes a week and not only is he enjoying himself but he's hoping to leave a legacy for his son through podcasting.  Also we discuss what is a good "starter" microphone and whether Joe Rogan is a famous podcaster or a podcaster who is famous!   ..read more

Since then he has gone on to start his own Podcast Convention in the UK called Pods Up North. He's an inspiration to podcasters and he ..read more
