“I appreciate Tim, he was pivotal in my experience growing into my profession. His interviews were ground breaking for the time, he truly shaped the podcast industry. We have some podcasters who have become more extreme, but I’m afraid tim was afraid to become ‘too extreme’ so he tried to double down what he was doing. I think Tim should diversify his brand and be ‘different’ shows within the brand. For example think: Armchair expert … then they launched “armchair anonymous”. I love Tim’s podcasts but I think the content has become bland because of the lack of diversity. Tim became a popular podcast because it was a result of the underdog status. At the summit you instead became a plateau. Don’t force every podcast to meet the same standard, but rather dive into what makes you unique. Allow your podcast, to reflect your books, different episodes reflect different experiences. Tim Ferris - startups Tim Ferris - personal finance Tim Ferris - health Etc. Keep your brand, but differentiate. I’d love to subscribe to specific parts of Tim Ferris, instead I find myself halfway through you podcast asking… what is the point of the story other than the fact that you successfully booked someone to interview. Example: the latest Seth Godin podcast sounds like a has-been story of someone who is trying to spin old stories into new reflections. “Going for a walk with him” is not fresh. But if Seth godin “non-startup entrepreneurs” I’d love to listen to that”
