In this episode Ash Shukla sits down with Adam Torres — a former wealth advisor turned accidental entrepreneur and podcaster with 1.5M+ followers and downloads — to decode how podcasting becomes a real business and a vehicle for generational wealth.

Why you should watch:
This conversation strips away the fluff. Adam walks through his nine-year journey (6,000+ interviews), the mindset shifts that made podcasting sustainable, and the tactical moves that turned scattershot episodes into repeatable revenue. Whether you’re launching a side-hustle podcast, building a legacy show, or scaling content into predictable cash flow, this episode gives blunt, practical playbook items you can act on.

Highlights:
• From accidental start to mission-driven platform — how Adam leveraged people skills from advising to create Mission Matters.
• Reality check on commitment — most creators quit before 30 episodes; success requires grit + long-term thinking.
• Monetization without magic — how to pitch sponsors early, create ad inventory (pre/mid/post-roll), and build predictable income even with a small audience.
• Imperfection wins — Adam’s first 300 interviews were raw and recorded on a phone. Start where you are, iterate, ship.
• Industry lens — podcasting is early-stage with huge upside (AI + global access = massive expansion). Think long-term, not quick wins.
• Interview technique — ask guests for 2–3 questions they want asked to create authentic, differentiated conversations.
• Mindset + mission — build to serve; reinvest profits into infrastructure that helps other creators scale.
• Bonus segment: Setting Boundaries with Kindness — how compassionate boundaries protect your energy, focus, and creative capacity (short practical tips included in the episode).

Practical takeaways you can implement today:

Pick a clear outcome: hobby, income, or legacy. Design every episode to move that metric.

Launch cheap and consistent: phone + headset is fine. Publishing rhythm beats perfection.

Start asking for sponsor support now — small sponsorships create predictable cash flow.

Serve first: prioritize guest stories and listener value; monetization follows value.
