How Long Should Your Podcast Episodes Be? | Operation JRP 20

September 10, 2020 07:00 - 13 minutes - 12.8 MB

I've had more than my fair share of people reach out to me and tell me that they do not listen to my podcast episodes because they are too long.  An hour is too much to ask from people.  Heck, half an hour is too much to ask from a good handful of people.  What you need to understand is that if people aren't listening to your show when it's an hour long, they aren't going to listen to it when it is 20 minutes long.  They are either listeners or they are not.  That's not to say ...

The Craziest Month Yet | Operation JRP 19

July 12, 2020 16:42 - 26 minutes - 23.9 MB

It feels pretty good to be back.  Clearly, it has been a month since I've released an episode here on Operation JRP, and there are quite a few reasons for that.  Since this hiatus started, I went through (and just failed) Andy Frisella's #75Hard program.  This episode will explain exactly what the key lessons are from that endeavor, why I failed, and whether or not you can expect me to pick it back up in the future.

This Advice Has Changed My Life | Operation JRP 17

The internet is a great tool for digging up specific information on certain topics, and tutorials on specific tasks.    However there is advice out there that you won't find with a quick Google search.    This is the advice that you have to dig a little deeper for, and this is the advice that will pertain to every aspect of your life.    Everything presented in this episode is advice that I have used day in and day out in order to get to where I am today.    If you are looki...

The Truth About Interviews | Operation JRP 16

June 10, 2020 07:00 - 21 minutes - 20 MB

If I had a dollar for every podcast that was out there using interviews with "influencers" as their way to grow, then I could probably pay them all off enough to stop doing their podcast.  To me, it's kind of sad to see the direction that podcasting is already going, because we don't need anymore of the exact same shows.  If you want to start doing interviews on your podcast, videos, or even a blog... That's a great thing to do! But do it the right way.  This episode is going to ...

You Are In Control. | Operation JRP 15

June 06, 2020 11:36 - 31 minutes - 29.2 MB

If there is anything that I have learned in my journey from cashier to podcast producer, it's that you have to decide that you are going to make the switch.  You have to decide that you are going to pursue a new journey.  It can't be a dream.  It can't be a possibility.  It has to be a commitment.  And it has to be completely on you.  You are going to be the one that determines the rest of your life.  So act like it.

May 30, 2020 07:00 - 33 minutes - 30.3 MB

Create Better Interviews. | Operation JRP 08

May 13, 2020 07:00 - 20 minutes - 19 MB

If you are an avid podcast listener, then you are probably sick and tired of seeing the same 12 people getting interviewed over, and over, and over, and over again.  Believe it or not, just asking people with huge followings to be on your show, at best, is going to do one thing, and one thing only. It's going to make you look like you are onto something, when really you are just amping up the brands of the people that are already established.  If you want to actually become a big ...

More Content Equals Less Traction. Here's Why. | Operation JRP 07

May 09, 2020 07:00 - 20 minutes - 19.2 MB

The algorithm.  The algorithm is the reason that everyone trying to help you grow your social media says that you need to be posting a lot of content.  The more you post, the more engagement you'll get, and the more engagement you get, the more likely that it is that you'll be shown to other people. Social platforms will favor you because you keep people on their platform.  Here's the thing.  If you are looking to establish a powerful brand.  You don't want to play with the alg...

April 18, 2020 07:00 - 19 minutes - 17.5 MB

Trust me, I would love it if I could sit behind my microphone for 30-60 minutes once a week, or even twice a week, record myself talking, and then pay all of my bills.  That's not how it works.  Sure, you can make money from a podcast, but how much money you make depends on a lot of factors, and there are some important things you need to understand if you want to make the MOST money from your podcast.  Listen in. 

New Beginnings... with Justin Phillips | Operation JRP 01

April 15, 2020 07:00 - 6 minutes - 6.29 MB
