How I Built A $100M Podcast
Jay Shetty explains how he built his OnPurpose podcast into a $100M business through a Netflix and Spotify partnership, despite early warnings that no market existed for mental health content.
The gist
-
Shetty records just 5 days a month with two interviews each day, keeping production sustainable while maintaining a high output.
-
His team researches every guest's prior interviews so he can ask questions they have never been asked before, attracting guests like Kobe Bryant and Michelle Obama.
-
OnPurpose steers away from guest biographies and focuses on practical advice listeners can use straight away, which Shetty says drives engagement.
-
Shetty argues that holding back on self-promotion is actually the more self-centered choice, because worrying about perception stops good work from reaching people.
