Today Noah Chats with Chris Hutchins, host of "All the Hacks", about the growth of his podcast and the art of making bold asks. In this conversation you’ll hear Chris’s masterclass in ‘The Power of Asking for What you Want’. Remember my coffee challenge, imagine that but on whatever those big bodybuilders take. This is huge advice. 

Follow his intentionality and laser focus in asking his way to becoming one of the biggest podcasters out there. Together, we explore podcast growth strategies, effective monetization tactics, and the importance of taking small, consistent steps towards progress. 

 

In this conversation, you’ll enjoy 3 BIG things:

  • Making an ask easy to say yes to by doing the leg work for the person you’re asking

  • Strategies how to monetize any podcast, content or project you’re working on

  • Getting to no faster, how not to waste time on someone sitting on the fence, and moving on to the next option quicker.

 

Enjoy these 3 things plus a bunch more ear nuggets along the way.
