So before we get into that first
Jeremy Weisz 2:05
I’ve been at dinners and they’re like, pull your pants down. I’m like, What do you mean? And they’re like, let me I didn’t know what they’re referring to. Let me see if it’s true. I’m like, all right. Like rooms of masterminds. Like, there could be 30 people. Brian Kershaw’s Brian Kurtz, he’ll be like, in front of them. Like there was a table of maybe 30 entrepreneurs. He’s showing us. I’m like, really right now. It was like a nice restaurant. I’m like, okay, like, you’re right, you’re not lying.
John Corcoran 2:35

Alright, so Jeremy, the subject matter of this quick interview is do downloads matter, especially in today’s day and age, do downloads matter? Take it over my friend. Yeah,
Jeremy Weisz 3:25
it is the hip thing to do. Um, you know, I want to say yes, they matter a lot, if you don’t want to focus 100% on the best, most efficient ROI. But um, you know, we get that question a lot, it’s the most common question we get. How do we get downloads and subscribers and, and here’s the thing that will come that will come later, it’s a secondary benefit, a tertiary benefit of what you do when, you know, ultimately, what we’re a big proponent of is really the strategy and focusing on who are the best people relationships in your universe that you want to give to write with, and we take people through a dream 100 process? What is the answer to that question, and it’s highly targeted on giving to your best relationships? That doesn’t mean, you know, down subscribers won’t be beneficial later on. But if you focus on your dream 10 5100 then those people in that industry will be interested in that topic. And so the downloads and subscribers will come from that as an as a tertiary benefit. Yeah. So, but that’s not the best thing we find is that it’s not easily replicable. Right. It’s not easily done. And focusing on the most important thing is the top level relationships in the industry.
John Corcoran 4:53
Let me ask you a question in a different way. Because this is a lot of times, kind of the way that people get at it is so you There’s a lot of famous podcasters out there the mark Marin’s the world, the Joe Rogan’s of the world, and people are starting podcasts every day and they want to be Joe Rogan. They want to be at the top of the heap. What do you say to those people?
