Is podcasting worth your investment of time, money, and energy? One of the best people I know to answer that question is Jamie Irvine, National Sales Director at Parts for Trucks and seasoned podcast host. Jamie has produced over 150 episodes of the Build a Better Business podcast and 350 episodes of The Heavy Duty Parts Report, giving him rare insight into how podcasting can power business growth.
Jamie shares how he turned podcasting into a career amplifier. What started as a solo side project with a poor webcam and free editing tools became a strategic marketing channel that helped him land consulting gigs, attract high-value clients, and close six-figure sponsorship deals. He stresses the importance of niching down. “The subject was too broad,” Jamie says about his first podcast. “It never really broke into a position where I could monetize it.”
You'll learn why choosing a narrow topic creates stronger audience engagement and business alignment. Jamie explains that a niche podcast allows you to go “an inch wide and a mile deep,” unlocking repeatable content ideas and positioning the host — not the guest — as the trusted expert.
