<p>If you want a real look at how a seasoned podcaster builds a show that lasts, this episode is for you. I sat down with Anthony Weaver, host of About That Wallet, and pulled back the curtain on his five-year journey helping the sandwich generation talk about—and enjoy—their money. You’ll hear how Anthony went from recording with a phone at his kitchen table to juggling video, live shows, and multiple income streams, all while staying close to his listeners’ needs.</p><p>Key takeaways you’ll walk away with: how to thoughtfully monetize your podcast with sponsored episodes, business cards, and merch; and how the right workflow (from AI tools to editing systems) can help you publish consistently without burning out or overspending. Plus, you’ll discover Anthony’s approach to networking and using conferences to connect with both guests and listeners. If you’ve ever wondered how to grow your podcast without losing the personal touch, you’ll find practical steps here. Enjoy the story—and some ideas you’ll want to try right away.</p><p><strong>Connect With Anthony Weaver</strong><br>Website: <a href="https://aboutthatwallet.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://aboutthatwallet.com</a><br>Newsletter: <a href="https://aboutthatwallet.com/newsletter" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://aboutthatwallet.com/newsletter</a><br>Merch Store: <a href="https://aboutthatwallet.com/store" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">https://aboutthatwallet.com/store</a></p><p></p><p>If <em>My Podcast Story</em> speaks to you, consider subscribing so you never miss an episode.
