Podcast Junkies - Conversations with Fascinating Podcasters

📺 Watch & Subscribe on YouTube

Ever feel like the future of your job or business could be snatched away by AI before you’ve had a chance to adapt? I know I do—and in this episode, we’re diving headfirst into exactly what you need to watch out for.

This week on Podcast Junkies, host Harry Duran sits down with Matt Rouse, host of the Digital Marketing Masters podcast, AI futurist, author, and yes—AI Chicken Wrangler. Matt Rouse brings a unique blend of digital marketing expertise and real-world insight into what technology is doing to reshape small businesses and creative careers.

The main theme explores how AI is fragmenting social media, transforming local marketing, and pushing business owners to reevaluate where they invest their time and energy. Matt Rouse shares his track record for predicting tech trends (he got 13 out of 15 AI predictions right years before they happened) and offers practical advice for anyone running a local business, a niche startup, or even starting their own podcast.

But this episode isn’t just about doom-and-gloom predictions or runaway robots. Harry Duran and Matt Rouse get personal about parenting in a tech-driven world, universal basic income, and why understanding how to work with AI (rather than ignore it) is now an essential business skill. They also unpack how real relationships, local connections, and creativity might just be the human edge in a future dominated by algorithms.

Curious where your job, your marketing efforts, or even your family's future sits in this rapidly changing landscape? Hit play and future-proof your thinking—this is a conversation every business owner, marketer, and creative needs to hear.

Key Takeaways
Reevaluate Your Marketing Channels:

Matt Rouse stresses that social media has become highly fragmented, making it essential for business owners to reassess where they invest their marketing time and resources. Instead of sticking to traditional platforms, focus on niche-specific or local platforms where your target audience actually spends time.

Prioritize Local Marketing for Local Businesses:

If you run a local service business or have a physical location, shift your energy towards local marketing strategies (like optimizing Google Business pages and partnering with local influencers). Generic, broad social media marketing isn’t as effective anymore for localized businesses.

Use Automation Tools to Save Time and Increase Results:

Take advantage of solutions like SMB Autopilot (developed by Matt Rouse), which automates and optimizes local SEO. These kinds of autopilot tools deliver results and monthly reports without manual effort, freeing up business owners to focus on their actual work and families.

Learn to Work with AI (Don’t Ignore It):

The people who know how to leverage AI in their businesses and workflows will have a significant advantage. Matt Rouse advocates treating AI as a partner—explaining tasks to it and learning how to get the best results. Ignoring AI or underestimating its pace of growth can leave you behind.

Focus on Customer Language and Needs, Not Personal Preference:

Understand that you are not your customer. Your preferred platforms and lingo might not match your audience’s. Invest time in audience research, listen to your client base, and adapt your marketing language and channels to where your customers actually spend their time online.

Key Takeaways
Spice Up Your Relationship Routine

Harry shares a practical relationship tip: even if you have a routine that works in your intimate life, make it a point to try something new at least once a month. Whether it’s a new activity or revisiting something you used to enjoy, fresh experiences can revitalize connection and intimacy.

Treat Your Relationship Like a Business—Strategic Planning Works!

Harry applies his business coaching experience to relationships by encouraging regular “strategic planning” sessions with your partner. He suggests sitting down at least once a year to set rolling three-year goals, create a 12-month plan, and break them down into actionable projects. This keeps both partners aligned and allows you to course-correct regularly.

Understand the Real Issues Behind Business Struggles

Harry points out that business owners often struggle with focus and growth because of unresolved relationship issues at home. By addressing the root personal challenges—instead of just business strategy—you unlock better clarity and decision-making in your professional life.

Start Before You’re Ready and Just Keep Going

Both Ellen and Harry discuss the challenges of launching a podcast (or any creative project). Their advice: Don’t get stuck aiming for perfection. Work through technical hurdles step by step, use cohort or group support if possible, and remember that every episode won’t be perfect. Publishing regularly is more important than waiting until everything is flawless.

Edit Your Own Content—At Least at First

Harry and Ellen both recommend editing your own podcast episodes when starting out. Doing this helps you catch verbal habits (like rambling or...

Tweetable Quotes"Podcasting is the new networking. You create a connection with someone in a totally different way than at a networking event where you just get a business card.""When starting a podcast, catch people's attention right away. Start with a juicy question that will teach the audience something, rather than background information about the guest.""We've automated everything in our podcast studios. You press a button, it records all the cameras, and the footage is automatically sent to the client. We've streamlined the whole process."Connect with Jeremy

1. Have a clear goal and vision for your podcast. Successful podcasters know why they're starting their show and what they want to achieve with it, whether it's visibility, growth, or eventual monetization.

2. Choose a discoverable podcast name. Consider including relevant keywords in your show's title to improve searchability. You can add descriptive phrases to your main title in podcast directories.

3. Repurpose podcast content across multiple platforms. Turn episodes into blog articles, social media posts, and video clips to expand your reach. Being present on various channels increases discoverability.

4. Optimize your podcast for search. Include relevant keywords in episode titles, descriptions, and show notes. Encourage listeners to use keywords when leaving reviews to boost your ranking.

5. Continuously improve and test different strategies. Implement small, consistent improvements to your show. A/B test various approaches to see what resonates with your audience and focus your efforts on what works best.
Tweetable Quotes"I wanted an all-in-one solution. It's something that provides a little bit of future for the business because you can integrate AI tools, you can integrate all sorts of different creation tools. So it gives you not just an agency, but a SaaS business as well, which creates a bit of passive income.""If you have a podcast, why not turn that episode into a blog article? Make sure that it ranks on Google. You're going to get clicks on that article and obviously once you do that, you will be featured in AI as well, if you do it right.""Once Skyler came into the world, I was like, wow, this is something else. I changed my mind about being a father. I think this is one of the greatest things you can ever do in your life, and if you have the chance to do it that's good."Connect with Bogdan

5 Key Takeaways
1. Leverage your existing audience and ecosystem to grow your podcast. Without a built-in community or distribution channels, even great content can struggle to find listeners.

2. Focus on engagement metrics beyond just downloads, like email list growth or audience interactions. These can be more meaningful indicators of success, especially for business-oriented shows.

3. Explore AI tools and automation to streamline your podcasting workflow. Simple scripts or browser extensions can save significant time on repetitive tasks.

4. Consider a niche focus for your podcast to attract targeted sponsors and generate revenue, even with a smaller audience. Vertical-specific shows can be very appealing to marketers.

5. Develop a range of skills as a "jack of all trades" in podcasting. Being versatile in areas like audio editing, video production, and AI tools can make you more adaptable in the evolving podcast landscape.
Tweetable Quotes"If you just put out a podcast into the world, not much is going to happen with it, no matter how good it is. Without an ecosystem, a lot of podcasts in this era really struggle.""I think that writers are actually the best prompt engineers and context engineers to think about how AI tools work and give them the best instructions possible.""I've always been all over the place in terms of what I like to do. There's always been this idea that you become a jack of all trades. But now everyone is almost asked to become a jack of all trades in the podcasting industry."Connect with Jullian

1. Embrace your healing journey. As Beth Jones emphasizes, healing is an ongoing process. Take active steps to address past traumas and work through difficult emotions, even if it feels challenging.

5. Focus on the healing, not just the trauma. When discussing difficult experiences, emphasize the growth and positive changes that came from overcoming challenges rather than dwelling solely on painful details.
Tweetable Quotes"I'm all about healing. That's why the show's called Let's Heal with Beth Jones. We focus on the healing. Although I give every guest an opportunity to say whatever they want about how they arrived at a place where they needed to heal, the purpose is to talk about getting to the good place.""I didn't know until I was 50 that I had something I needed to deal with. It kept building for 45 years, and suddenly I was confronted with it. We've all suffered trauma and abuse, and every one of us is at a varying degree of healing.""The most misunderstood thing about me is being a radically different person today than the one people knew me as. Inside, I was not that person at all. I wore a bunch of masks that everybody else gave to me, and they became my Achilles heel in many instances."﻿﻿Connect with Beth

1. When starting a podcast, clearly define your goals first. This will inform everything from show format to marketing strategy.

2. Consider a six-tier marketing approach: publicity, owned marketing, cross-promotion, pitching podcast apps, paid acquisition, and data management.

4. Track key metrics like total listeners, consumption data, and platform share to inform both editorial decisions and marketing efforts.

5. For podcast monetization, aim for at least 50,000 downloads per month before pursuing direct response advertising deals. Smaller shows can explore programmatic ads or alternative revenue streams.
Tweetable Quotes"Podcasting makes people's dreams come true. And you see it so frequently. And it's so funny because frankly, it's almost never in the way that people imagine.""I view AI as a tool the same way I would view Muckrack or Podchaser or Megaphone as a tool. It allows you to do things easier, hopefully better, and hopefully quicker. But it still requires a lot of strategic thinking where you need to actually come up with a plan and set goals.""When we approach a podcast marketing campaign, we first go back to the goals question, because I'm going to tweak this campaign based on what you tell me, like if you're looking for scale or niche or anything in between."﻿Connect with Jeff

1. Focus podcast marketing efforts on reaching existing podcast listeners rather than trying to convert non-listeners. Target places where podcast fans already congregate, like podcast newsletters and cross-promotions with other shows.

2. Consider niche sponsorship opportunities for podcasts, even before launch. Approach companies in your podcast's industry about sponsoring a season, positioning it as an alternative to expensive conference booths.

3. Use AI tools thoughtfully in podcasting, while being mindful of maintaining the human element. Look for ethical and culturally sensitive applications that enhance rather than replace human creativity.

4. Explore co-production opportunities across countries and languages to expand your podcast's reach. Organizations like Wepod facilitate international podcast collaborations on shared topics.

5 Key Takeaways
1. Cultivate awareness through movement. Somatic practices can help uncover subconscious patterns and increase intuition. Try incorporating mindful movement or body-based practices into your routine.

2. Seek balance between catharsis and integration. While intense experiences can be transformative, sustainable growth requires ongoing integration. Look for ways to process and apply insights from peak experiences in daily life.

3. Explore elderhood as a journey, not just an age. Regardless of your years, consider how you can cultivate wisdom and take on mentorship roles. Reflect on what you have to offer younger generations.

4. Practice attunement to natural rhythms. Notice how aligning with cycles like sunrise and sunset affects your energy and awareness. Experiment with adjusting your schedule to sync with nature's patterns.

5. Embrace the "Third Way" in relationships and decision-making. When faced with polarities, look for emergent solutions that honor multiple perspectives. Cultivate both personal sovereignty and collective responsibility.
Tweetable Quotes"The body keeps the story. Even the brain - there's no hard drive in the head. They keep looking for the memories there. They're not going to find them. Because they're in the soft tissues. And they're actually in the space around us.""The Third Way speaks to what's emergent. We always want to honor tradition, but tradition has also failed. We have to be real about that. These new traditions that will be born will be a third way between the human being suspended between the cosmos and land.""I've changed my mind about aging. I used to fear it, pulling out gray hairs and worrying about wrinkles. Now I'm savoring the age I'm at and have a beautiful curiosity about where it's going. I don't want to get old - I want to get elder."Connect with Hunter
