Tech Almighty: Insights from the Listen Notes Exclusive Podcaster Interview

Tell us about you and your podcast

My background is in integrating Christian faith with modern technology and business. In my podcast, Tech Almighty, I explain how Christian principles can be applied in the world of technology and business, focusing not just on profit but on faith-driven values. My listeners are typically entrepreneurs, business professionals, and tech enthusiasts who share a Christian perspective. They seek guidance on integrating their faith with their professional and technological pursuits, striving for more than just financial success.

Why & how did you start this podcast? 

The idea came from the desire to serve God and assist others in building successful, faith-driven businesses. My podcast is a business guide where faith, technology, and entrepreneurship combine, providing a unique perspective in the world of business.

I find inspiration in Alex Hormozi's work. My primary aim is to help guide the next generation of entrepreneurs. Entering this new digital age, I wanted to equip them with the knowledge to run tech-savvy, self-sufficient businesses, all while staying rooted in Christian values and teachings.

I launched it on January 1st, 2024. It took me seven months of preparation, learning, and fine-tuning my vision. The actual process of releasing the first episode, once I decided to go ahead, just took a day. But those seven months were crucial in shaping the podcast's direction and ensuring that the content I deliver is both meaningful and impactful.

How'd you find the time and funding to do this podcast?

I've released my first episode on Jan 1st, 2024, and each episode will be on a weekly basis, with each one taking around three days to produce. Balancing this with my role as CEO & Co-Founder of VoxBox, a leading digital solutions provider for the government sector, is a challenge. My company, known for creating immersive virtual environments for top-tier clients, demands a lot of my time. However, I've mastered the art of time management, focusing on the minutiae of daily tasks to maximize efficiency and effectiveness.

In terms of podcast expenses, I've invested just over $400 so far. This venture is entirely self-funded, reflecting my commitment to sharing my insights on faith, technology, and business. It's a passion project where I blend my professional expertise with my Christian values, aiming to inspire and guide others in navigating the complexities of the modern entrepreneurial landscape.

What do you gain from podcasting?

I'm open to sponsorship but I haven't opened that door to accept sponsorship yet.

How does your podcasting process look like? 

For my podcast, I use a combination of tools and services that ensure high-quality production. My domain is hosted on GoDaddy, which provides a reliable and user-friendly platform for my podcast's online presence. For audio editing, I rely on Adobe Audition, a powerful tool that allows me to enhance and refine the sound quality of each episode. My go-to microphone is the Samson Q2U Dynamic Mic, known for its excellent sound reproduction, making it ideal for podcast recording.

Currently, my focus is on delivering content that teaches and guides my audience, so I haven't started interviewing guests yet. This initial phase is crucial for establishing the podcast's foundation and voice. When I do start inviting guests, my approach will be to seek out individuals whose expertise and experiences align with the podcast's themes of faith, technology, and entrepreneurship. Preparation for each episode involves thorough research and scripting to ensure that the content is informative, engaging, and aligned with the podcast's mission.

How do you market your show?

My podcast is accessible on various platforms including Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Podcast Index, Overcast, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, and several others. I also feature it on my websites, techalmighty and alwaree. From my initial episode, I noticed a diverse listener distribution: 31% came from techalmighty, 27% from alwaree, followed by 13% Apple, 9% Spotify, and 9% Listen Notes. I also have a substantial community of over 1300 members, primarily built through my newsletter "Futr3preneuer". This community forms a significant part of my marketing strategy, leveraging the network I've cultivated over time.

What advice would you share with aspiring (new) podcasters?

To aspiring podcasters, I'd emphasize the importance of building personal credibility and a like-minded community before launching a podcast. This foundation is important not just for the content's integrity, but also for practical aspects like marketing and audience building. By establishing yourself as a knowledgeable and reliable source in your chosen field, you naturally attract listeners who trust and value your insights. Similarly, creating a community of individuals who share your interests and values creates a ready audience that can grow organically, significantly reducing the stress and cost of marketing and listener acquisition.
