Well before it was cool to grow your online reputation using podcasting Ash Roy was curating content, gaining a huge listenership and positioning himself as the expert in podcasting. Explore the Productive Insights Podcast which has been running since Feb 2015 with over 150 podcasts for business, and you’ll discover an excellent range of guests and subject matter on developing this medium as a tool.

But more than this, when you listen and are lucky enough to meet Ash, you’ll discover a passionate yet kindly spoken business leader who is proud of his “slow burn” accomplishment. He might be in sales and marketing but the “rah rah” approach isn’t part of his DNA but podcasting is his legacy.

Very excited to be welcoming Ash Roy live on the radio to talk all things podcasting.

Topics we’ll be covering:

  • What were you in a former life? What led you down this path & instigated your leap of faith into starting your own business
  • Looking at your website, podcast content and guest list you look hugely successful, an overnight success in your broadcasting. Has it really been a slow burn for you?
