Jo & Vicky are joined by Kane Baron who runs Disruptive Media (formerly Progressive Media), the UK’s largest podcast agency. They specialise in branding and monetising content for commercial purposes, particularly podcasts and long form content. Kane learned his trade when Rob Moore, a serial entrepreneur who has clocked up billions of views across multiple media channels and has millions of followers, made him his business partner.
To say Kane knows a thing or two about branding, marketing and building a business is an understatement. You can be sure that the advice he shares in this episode will be invaluable for you and your business.

KEY TAKEAWAYS
Business opportunities are everywhere. As a 5-year-old, Kane made £30 to £40 fetching drinks for guests at his parents´ wedding and being allowed to keep the change.
Be curious, ask people about their businesses. When you do, you will see new opportunities for your own business.
When you experience bad times, which you will, just keep going.
Finding a good mentor is your shortcut to success.
Because of their experience, your mentor will see potential in ideas you would otherwise dismiss.
Listen to your customers’ moans, they tell you what they desperately need from you. Your USP, unique selling point.
Productise yourself and your offering. When you do, making sales is far easier.
Sell outcomes – tell the customer what they will get out of your product.
If you don´t sell packages of lessons your customer won´t be with you long enough to see results.
Don´t undervalue your product, it´s better to start high and maybe bring your price down a bit, than it is to start low.
If you don´t reinvest you will stop growing.
