“I will never forget this moment. Candace Owens's podcast hits number one worldwide. Best part, without promotion, which means we have not spent since we started this podcast a year and a half ago a single dollar on advertising.”

The podcast's high ranking on YouTube is entirely due to the support of the audience.

“It seems like the main way that podcast work today is you have the loyal listeners and then you have the samplers and the samplers are basically clips that you put in places where people already are that give somebody a bite-size taste of what the real podcast is like.”

He believes the strategy for podcast growth involves selecting viral topics, interviewing diverse guests, and leveraging data from his performance to optimize future content.

“I'm a numbers guy, so I interview a bunch of different topics and perspectives and I see what hits and then I'll double down on it.”
