In this week’s episode, I’m joined by Kane and Ashley from Progressive Media, the UK's largest podcast agency and hosts of the Podcaster's Podcast.

We dive into their personal journeys - from building a successful podcast agency in their 20s to the unexpected way Kane met one of the UK’s top entrepreneurs, who later became his boss. Plus, hear how Ashley skipped university to start a dropshipping business.

Kane and Ashley share practical advice on making yourself invaluable to your boss, why Gen Z may be both the smartest and laziest generation, and why owning a business is essential for building wealth.

This episode sheds light on the power of alternative career paths and how leveraging social media and podcasting can fast-track your career and drive business growth, providing tips and advice for podcasters starting out and looking to monetise their shows today.
