I first heard of John Lee Dumas at a podcast conference. John is the kind of guy you immediately like. He’s charming, witty and engaging. This is one of his keys to what has turned out to be an incredibly successful career in the world of podcasting. Anyone who’s been around the podcast campus for any length of time has likely heard of John.
Equally, anyone who has done research on influencers in the industry definitely knows who John Lee Dumas is.
I knew John was a definite rising star. I also knew I had to have him on my show. Within minutes of striking up a conversation, John said he would be thrilled to be on my show.
Since my interview with John just over six years ago, the growth of podcast shows is far beyond what most people would have every imagined. Since that time, I have launched another show. In addition to the Power Up for Profits Show, I now host a second show, Plant Based Eating for Health. Much more niched than Power Up for Profits, the response has been incredible.
Based on what I learned from my time with John Lee Dumas, I credit his enthusiasm with sparking my passion for this medium to reach the plant based/vegan market.
I’m thrilled to grab John’s interview out of the Power Up for Profits show vault.
