Hosts Admit They Never Had Social Media Person Despite Massive Media Empire
My First Million
We hit record on our private strategy session
What was said
"6 years into having a podcast, we are basically a media company. We have never, we have never had a social media person. I didn't even know that we had like social media. You don't know how many times somebody from HubSpot has asked me like, hey, does anyone have the Twitter login?"
Sam and Sean revealed that despite running a successful podcast with 115 million downloads over 6 years, they never employed a social media manager and often didn't even know passwords to their own accounts. The admission highlights their unconventional approach to building a media business, prioritizing content over distribution. They acknowledged being "cartoonishly bad" at basic platform management like Instagram and LinkedIn.
