Entrepreneurial Odyssey — “Podcasting That Actually Grows Your Business” with Robert Plank
If you’ve thought, “I want a podcast, but I’m overwhelmed by 50 tools and 60 places to post,” this episode is for you. Rob sits down with Robert Plank—computer-programmer-turned-podcasting-pro and founder of DFY Podcast—to unpack how founders, professionals, and creators can use a podcast as a strategic growth engine.

The 6 core benefits of hosting (authority, relationships, relevance, content flow, and more)
How introverts can thrive on-mic (practice, structure, and energy management)
The “one recording → many assets” repurposing play (clips, quotes, show notes, blogs, posts)
Consistency frameworks that prevent podfade—and what tasks you should never do yourself
Smart guesting: using interviews to build a list, book clients, and spark referrals
