You’re Not a Real Podcast Until You Buy a Billboard to Land a Guest | with Zak Kuhn (Host, The Zak Kuhn Show) | Ep 77

It’s rare… like REALLY rare… that I’m BLOWN AWAY by someone’s podcast content – but The Zak Kuhn Show immediately stopped me in my tracks. Everything about Zak’s show is top-notch: his cover art, his audio quality, his writing skills, his intentionality behind the content, his marketing strategy, the caliber of guests – but most impressive of all is Zak's thoughtfulness in the prep he does before each interview, resulting in honest and vulnerable conversations you won’t hear anywhere else. In this conversation, Zak shares: how he was able to get 5k+ subscribers for his newsletter in just 2 years, the tips and techniques he recommends for getting the best and most unique interview from each podcast guest, why he once spent roughly THIRTY HOURS prepping for a SINGLE podcast interview, the INCREDIBLE series of strategic events (including, you guessed it… buying a billboard) that leaded to landing Bobby Bones as the guest on his 100th podcast episode, and so much more!

Zak Kuhn is an entertainment entrepreneur and media personality, always at the intersection of music and culture through his various ventures. Most notably, he is the Founder & CEO of The Nashville Briefing – a newsletter covering the confluence of country music and the global music business – that in just two years amassed thousands of subscribers. On his podcast The Zak Kuhn Show, Zak interviews leaders, legends and icons in the world of entertainment, including Bobby Bones, Matt Stell, Ingrid Andress, Kelleigh Bannen, Tenille Townes, Seaforth, Kristian Bush of Sugarland, Brian Kelley of Florida Georgia Line, BRELAND, Mitchell Tenpenny, Lindsay Ell, Dan Smyers of Dan + Shay, and many more.
