  • Rebuild From Zero: Growth Hacking After Losing Everything | Peter Murphy Lewis

    Rebuild From Zero: Growth Hacking After Losing Everything | Peter Murphy Lewis
    Jan 20 2026
    When political turmoil in Chile pushed his adopted home “into disarray,” growth hacker and documentary filmmaker Peter Murphy Lewis lost his company, his community, and the life he’d spent 14 years building. In less than two weeks, he and his wife left everything behind and moved back to the U.S. with their three‑year‑old—starting again from his parents’ basement in Kansas.​ In this conversation with host Kandas Rodarte, Peter shares how he used a “do a lot with a little” growth‑hacking mindset to rebuild from zero, and what that looks like for solopreneurs—especially women over 40—who don’t have a big team or a big ad budget. From handwritten direct‑mail campaigns and simple cold calls to testing offers with TikTok and short‑form video, Peter breaks down practical, experiment‑driven marketing that doesn’t feel like bro culture.​ You’ll also hear the human side of disruption: PTSD, identity loss when your job title disappears, cultural shock moving from Santiago to small‑town Kansas, and how niche filmmaking about CNAs and nursing homes helped Peter find new purpose and impact. If you’re navigating a major life or business pivot, this episode offers both strategy and solidarity.​ Chapters: 00:00 Rebuild from zero: Peter’s 10‑day collapse00:53 Life disruptions, PTSD, and starting over​01:34 What growth hacking really means (without bro marketing)08:01 Experiment‑driven marketing for solopreneurs over 4013:37 Direct mail, cold calls, and why “old school” still works​19:06 Facing disruption: therapy, fear, and asking for help19:59 Identity beyond job titles and losing “entrepreneur”22:43 Hyper‑niche documentaries for CNAs and nursing homes28:00 Bicultural parenting and raising resilient kids33:18 Gratitude, legacy, and rebuilding a meaningful life Learn more about your ad choices.

    305: How to Actually Make Money as a Podcast Guest (Without a Huge Audience) | Jessica Rhodes
    Jan 6 2026
    She’s booked 30,000 podcast interviews, and the guests who actually made money all did one thing differently. In this episode of Gratitude Geek, Kandas Rodarte and Interview Connections founder Jessica Rhodes break down how to turn podcast guesting into real revenue instead of chasing vanity metrics.​ You’ll learn why building real relationships with hosts beats obsessing over audience size, how niche shows often convert better than “big name” podcasts, and what realistic download numbers look like even for established brands. Kandas and Jessica also unpack guesting strategies, audience–message fit, and why consistency matters more than any single “big break.”​ They share practical tactics like collaborating on YouTube, repurposing interviews across platforms, using email and playlists to warm up your own audience, and applying gratitude as a business strategy to stay top of mind for referrals. If you’re a Gen X woman solopreneur who wants podcast guesting to actually lead to clients, this conversation is your playbook.​ Link to the full show notes and resources: https://kandasrodarte.com/305​ Timestamps00:00 The Evolution of Podcasting02:23 Guesting Strategies for Success04:30 The Importance of Engagement07:02 Visibility and Audience Growth09:46 The Value of Niche Targeting12:34 Building Relationships with Hosts15:31 Leveraging Social Proof18:28 The Role of Consistency in Podcasting20:08 Metrics and Engagement Strategies24:25 Evaluating Podcast Metrics26:28 The Importance of Relationships in Podcast Guesting28:11 The Role of Authenticity in Podcast Pitches29:27 Value in Storytelling and Lessons Learned31:52 The Longevity of Podcasts33:12 The Power of Collaboration in Podcasting35:06 Ethics of Content Sharing and Credit38:03 Gratitude as a Business Strategy Learn more about your ad choices.
