And in this episode of Podcasting Amplified, he breaks down the exact strategy he used to secure that interview.

Robin hosts The Fearless Business Podcast which he's been running for five years now so he has a ton of insight for podcasters looking to grow their show. He's also a business coach and speaker and in this episode he offers one of the most generous free giveaways that we've ever had on the podcast.

We cover in this episode -

We cover in this episode:

• Advice for podcasters dealing with a disability or other health issues.

• How Win has continued posting episodes for 10 years.
