Zig When They Zag | Josh Spector
Hello, everyone, and welcome to “The Jim Kroft Podcast”, where I seek to build bridges between the parallel worlds of the creative arts and solopreneur's path.
When I started this Podcast, one of the first names I wrote down as a dream guest was Josh Spector, so I’m just buzzing to introduce you to him today.
What I love about Josh is that he combines the innovative mindset of an entrepreneur with the non-conformism of creatives.
As he says - “you don’t stand out by trying to fit in”.
Josh is a prolific creator with 28 products on Gumroad, the mastermind behind the "For the Interested" newsletter, which has amassed 42,000 subscribers, and the host of the thought-provoking "I Want to Know" podcast.
However, what sets Josh apart is that few people are as concentrated on giving value per minute.
Today, Josh shares insights on:
- 📈 One-Person Business Strategies
- 🎨 Creative Process (Courses & Gumroad)
- 😊 Fostering a Positive Mindset
- 📣 Revolutionizing Newsletters
- 🎙️ Podcast Strategy Systematization
- 💡 Providing Value vs. Interest
On a personal note, inspired by Josh’s advice, I launched my first lead magnet over Christmas, leading to 170 new subscribers to my “Creative Insights” newsletter. It was my best week ever so far and another example of how all the ideas, insights and actionable tips I’m learning from the Podcast are having a real-life impact. You can see the link in the show notes if you'd like to subscribe.
I'm excited to continue sharing the journey ahead for all of you who are starting Podcasts, Newsletters or YouTube channels this year.
Okay, it’s time to meet Mr Josh Spector,
Are you ready? Then, let’s dive in!
Jim
