“I had always been interested in networking in real life. So, I would be the guy working the room and meeting as many people as I possibly could. Not just grabbing the business cards, but making meaningful connections and then following up.” (21:02)

“I think we’re all capable of speaking, we’re all capable of having a conversation. And, that’s all you have to do. You have to write how you’re having a conversation with the reader. If you can do that – if you can pull that off – then your work is done.” (28:09)

“The expression, ‘If you want to go somewhere fast, go alone and if you want to go further, go together,’ is so true.” (34:17)

“I love the agility, the dynamic aspect of it [podcasting].” (48:36)

“The headline is all about the slogan. The headline, I think, should be doing a lot of work for you. It should be not only saying what you do, but also saying what you like to do or saying why you do it.” (55:06)

“There’s a ton of spiritual podcasts out there, right? There’s a ton of religious podcasts out there. And even a couple very Christian-centric gay podcasts out there, actually. But none that were doing it in the way that the web series was doing it, which was taking a more comedic approach to the subject matter.” (16:53)

“I do think coming from a theatre and acting background – being able to access emotions like that and really call upon that empathy tool that you so develop working as an actor – has been really helpful.” (20:18)

“Everyone is so different when it comes to religion and spirituality, especially with the guests that I’ve had. They completely range all over the map. And so, each episode is so different because each of the people is so different and their backgrounds completely vary from one another. And I think that’s really neat.” (27:24)

“A major thing has just been – and I don’t think this is revolutionary – it has meant a lot for people to hear that there is a difference between religion and spirituality.” (32:06)

“Since I could really conceive that I thought the church thought it was wrong, which would have been around nine or ten, I started research at that age trying to figure out if homosexuality was a sin or not. And no ten year old should be doing that. That is just so awful to me but that was the environment I was in.” (38:41)

“If we are part of the universe and if we are created by something – whatever you believer in – then I think one of the highest forms of worship is to be good to ourselves because we are a part of that. You wouldn’t scoff at a Creator’s creation if you wanted to worship that Creator. And so, treat yourself well because in treating yourself well you’re gonna be treating whatever you believe in well.” (46:06)

“I’m really just holding onto the ethos of, ‘my life is more than the sum of my work’ which is really important to me.” (12:16)

“I’m very pro this push for people to take control of their publishing infrastructure. However, I’m very skeptical of this conversation about this being the ‘future of media drones’ and that this is the trend that everybody is going to be an independent, discreet writer.” (28:25)

“The price of independence is that everything hurts all the time and my head is spinning.” (31:35)

“The thing about Hot Pod is that I try to really focus it on the story of podcasting specifically, of business specifically. I think over the past five years it’s very clearly been the story about capitalism and there are different political ways that you can approach that.” (35:37)

“As a creator, getting to a point where you can make yourself create stuff that you yourself can be happy with as a consumer, that is, I think, an extremely hard thing.” (39:55)

“I’ve also just found conversational podcasts to be so much more interesting to me right now as opposed to interview podcasts.” (41:19)

“Two weeks ago I interviewed Elizabeth Smart. She’s not a CEO or a business titan. But she’s an influential person when it comes to forgiveness and compassion and moving forward which is part of the competency of being a leader.” (14:14)

“When I get someone in the podcast – Carly Fiorina, Doris Kearns Goodwin, General McChrystal, whoever it is – I make sure that I have researched them, listened to them, followed their career, and tried to bring out their wisdom as much as possible.” (23:38)

“Thought Leadership is the new public relations. Period. It is the mouthpiece of the firm.” (27:07)

“You just described the essence of great leadership and that is really self-awareness. We all think we are more self-aware than we are.” (35:22)

“I think my job is to make them [podcast interviewees] look good because a lot of these people have spent their entire lives either helping other people or building a platform for other people to benefit from. And if I can give something back to them too then I think that is deserved.” (40:47)

“Where do you leave and go to after FranklinCovey, the White House? Honestly, this is an amazing brand; it’s an iconic brand. And it’s a collection of really fine people. So culture has kept me here.” (44:14)

“Bad leaders aren’t bad people. They’re good people with bad training.” (49:43)

“It was like a rabbit hole. Once I started going in I was like, ‘Man, this is such a deep and complex market. There’s so much creativity, so much crazy history and the tech that underlies it is weirdly open in a way that’s unusual.’ So, there’s so many things that are fascinating about podcasting.” (15:24)

“The compounding effect of building your audience – of adding subscribers – is an amazing thing.” (29:30)

“Raising from outside investors is really hard and it puts a ton of pressure on you. And to willingly choose that takes a certain mindset, either ignorance or acceptance of those challenges that you’re placing on yourself.” (34:17)

“We’re really trying to do good work here. We’re not trying to do anything weird. We’re not trying to scam people. We’re not trying to collect data that we shouldn’t be or anything like that. We’re trying to help podcasters.” (40:40)

“It really does resonate with some part of me. It just feels like something I should be doing and something I enjoy doing. And so it’s fun to be able to mix that creative side with that technical side. As much as I like behind the mic, I’m generally better behind the computer keyboard.” (50:59)
