When a kid pulling golf balls out of ponds grows up to build one of the most influential platforms in podcasting, you know there’s a story worth hearing.In this episode, I’m joined by Alex Sanfilippo, founder of PodMatch and host of Podcasting Made Simple. We talk about his journey from the aerospace world to faith-based blogging and podcasting, to launching PodMatch in 2020 and watching it explode just as the world went into lockdown. Alex shares how a simple idea – “like a dating app, but for podcast interviews” – became a global tool that helps hosts find the right guests and guests find the right stages.We also dig into why Alex gives half of PodMatch’s profit back to podcasters through the PodValue initiative, what most hosts get wrong about sharing links to their shows, and how he’s building features like a built-in Workflow and review swaps to help podcasters grow sustainably.If you host a podcast, dream of starting one, or just love a good entrepreneurship story rooted in service and integrity, this conversation will encourage you to keep creating, keep connecting, and keep the conversations going.Send us a textFreedom Federal Credit UnionHELPING YOU REACH YOUR FINANCIAL DREAMSDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.
