This might actually be the best podcast interview I’ve ever done. I talked with John Lee Dumas, the host of the award winning podcast, EOFire.
John interviews entrepreneurs 7-days a week and has grown a podcast that generates over 1 million monthly listens. Wow!
He just finished running a successful Kickstarter campaign for The Freedom Journal, which helps you accomplish your #1 goal in 100 days.
Not only did he raise nearly half a million dollars on Kickstarter, but he also made it into the Kickstarter hall of fame, with the 6th most funded publishing campaign.
In our interview, he shares the exact system he used to smash his goal, which you can copy and apply to your own project.
