Josh Muccio~ Founder of The Pitch Podcast ~ Current Series ~ 100 Interviews with 100 Major Influencers   Hey listeners, I got the exciting opportunity to hop on the mic with the founder and host of The Pitch Podcast, Josh Muccio.  The Pitch is one of the top podcasts out there today on business and entrepreneurship. The Pitch features entrepreneurs in need of funding and they get to “pitch” a panel of investors. Very much like Sharktank but, it is a real show where entrepreneurs pitch real investors for real money.    We got to talk with Josh for well over an hour about how he started The Pitch and kept growing it even after having fifty-five shows with zero investments. Finally, he got the first investment on the show and everything changed from that moment on. Not too long after, Gimlet Media acquired Josh's podcast, which then eventually led to Spotify purchasing Gimlet for over $200 million. This has changed everything for Josh as a professional podcaster and creative entrepreneur.  Now, The Pitch has been named the best business podcast on startup life by Fortune magazine and it is one of the top rated business podcasts in the world!   On the show today we chat with Josh about how he got his start as an entrepreneur and podcaster, his first failing podcast and the idea to create The Pitch. We talk a lot about what is making podcasts successful today, we share some methods of what works when building a successful podcast, and where we think the podcast world is headed in the next few years. We also touch a bit on influence and how Josh manages his influence as a top podcaster.        2:19: Who is Josh Muccio?     8:47: The Humble Beginnings of The Pitch    15:01: The Trials & Errors of Podcasting    22:54: How Josh Landed Sponsorship for The Pitch    27:44: Josh on Landing A $350,000 Investment    30:26: Gimlet Media Acquisition    33:36: Josh On Staying True To Yourself as a Creator    40:24: The Pitch in 5 Years    43:45: The Current State of The Podcast Industry    47:41: Josh On Achieving Balance As A Podcaster    54:17: Podcast Technology Trends on Apple, Spotify and Google 1:00:10: Josh On Managing His Influence 1:07:36: Josh on Personal & Professional Growth 1:14:30: Where to Find Josh Muccio   Contact Info:   The Pitch Podcast: https://gimletmedia.com/shows/the-pitch The Pitch on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0L04op9D76TOfmzm7yOf9T Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/joshmuccio/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/joshmuccio

Your opportunity to make it big with your creative endeavors is no longer something others are in control of. You can influence your own success tremendously – primarily through doing great work and networking at the same time. Josh Muccio is a great example of a person who did make it big by being picked up by a big company in his industry, but it s not because they gave him permission – it s because they noticed the great work he was already doing. Dane invited Josh on the show a second time because his story illustrates how creatives can open the door to their own opportunities. It s a lesson we all need to learn and Josh shares a wealth of insight for those who are ready to hear it and take action. Before you reach out to the star makers in your niche, do great work Back in season two of Converge, Dane took a shot in the dark and predicted that Josh s podcast The Pitch would be picked up by a big podcasting company like Gimlet and it was. Dane wanted to hear the story of how that happened, so he invited Josh back for this conversation. The way the story unfolds is not what you might expect. Nobody came knocking on Josh s door. Nobody sent a talent scout to find the next big podcast hit and suddenly discovered him. Josh kept producing his independent podcast to a high standard, found people to help him, and reached out to people in the podcasting space who he wanted to meet. Things happened because he did great work and took action. You can hear Josh explain how it happened – how he facilitated his own opportunity, on this episode. People are your biggest resource, but they are not a commodity to be used Even if you are a solopreneur or solo founder, people are the best resource you have. Josh Muccio realized that early on in his podcasting journey, so he started reaching out to influential people in his space WHILE he continued to do great work. He wasn t looking for a handout or to be discovered, he was making his own opportunity. That is exactly how creatives in the digital age have to approach success: Do good work, make your opportunity. Jay shares why he sends cold emails to people he wants to meet every day, how he crafts those emails to be personal and appealing, and why he thinks it s an important discipline that will work for anyone seeking to build good relationships with others in their space. If you can t create a brain-trust, at least get some smart friends alongside One of the greatest benefits of becoming a part of the Gimlet media family is that a team of audio and storytelling professionals are available to help Josh make his already-great show even better. He refers to them as a brain-trust: experts who are able to look at his work, give feedback, and refine it to greater effect. Dane asked Josh if he thinks it s possible for the average, independent artist to form their own brain-trust. While he s not sure independents can pull together a team with the same level of expertise he’s blessed with at Gimlet, he s confident that having other trusted, smart individuals look at your work and give honest feedback is always going to make it better. There is always another opportunity to shoot for. Keep reaching Near the end of this conversation, Dane asked Josh to share his perspective for those at the beginning of their creative journey now that he s at the top of his industry. His podcast is a staple on the Gimlet media lineup, continues to get great reviews and is growing its listener base monthly. What advice does he have now that he s made it. Interestingly enough, Josh points out that even those he works for at Gimlet don t feel they ve made it. There s always another level to reach for, always another way to grow and become better at what you do. His advice: Your opportunity to become the best is always before you. Be aware that success doesn t change the need to do your best work, no matter what level of success you ve already attained.

Today we are covering The Pitch hosted by Josh Muccio from Gimlet Media. This show covers real entrepreneurs pitching to real investors. It’s like an audio version of Shark Tank. It delivers on the high-stakes promise of a live pitch without shying away from nitty gritty details of what happens after everyone shakes hands and walks out of the room. I’ll be running through the highlights of the first episode so you can see what it’s all about. The episode is 36 minutes long, so I’ll give you the 30,000 foot version. Feel free to reach out with questions or comments at chrisbello.com and remember, less dreaming, more doing.

When Mike Slagh left the military, he wanted to find a job in tech, but he couldn't get his foot in the door. And then he found out that he was one of approximately 300,000 service members who every year struggle to make the transition back into the workforce. So Mike decided to do something about it and started Shift.  Today's investors are Phil Nadel, Jillian Manus, Daniel Gulati and James Altucher.

My guest today is the founder, host, and executive producer of The Pitch podcast. Earlier this year, The Pitch podcast was acquired by Gimlet Media and is currently publishing its second season. Back in 2011, when my guest was still in college, he started an online iPad and iPhone repair company called iHeart Repair. After growing it rapidly for three years, my guest sold the business to MTechRepair. In this conversation, we discuss the value of cold emailing, why follow-up is essential, and deciding whether to push ahead or quit. Now, let’s hack… Josh Muccio.

Josh is the creator of The Pitch podcast. A Shark Tank like show where entrepreneurs pitch for investment. He built his first business right out of college and sold it 3 years later. He's a husband and father of 2 (soon to be 3!) – He loves to Ski, travel, taste many wines and considers himself a coffee snob.

Josh Muccio is an entrepreneur with a few notches in his belt. Including a couple previous podcasts. When an angel investor and business founder approached him to team up… He couldn't say NO. The project? A podcast version of “Shark Tank” With one season in the bag and the second just released… It's “all in” […] The post Episode #143 – Josh Muccio On Pitching Secrets From The Podcast “Shark Tank” appeared first on Drop Dead Copy.

The Pitch is an amazing podcast where investors and creatives come together via audio in a Shark Tank type atmosphere to explore possible funding and joint venture opportunities. But it s even better than that. There s a reality to the show that you don t get from its television counterpart and a lot of that happens because of the way the host – and Dane s guest on this episode of Converge, Josh Muccio – handles the show. On this episode of Converge, Dane and Josh chat about ways creatives like you can use the principles of a good pitch to set yourself apart from the crowd and build lasting customer and client relationships to fuel your livelihood and business long term. The pitch is not about sales, it s about who you are and what you bring to the table. The idea of a pitch has been misused and mischaracterized for so long that it s hard to think of it without negative connotations. But Dane s guest today says a good pitch is an extension of the person making it. It s a communication of personality, experience, confidence, and uniqueness that causes a product or service to stand out from the crowd, and ultimately leads to the trust that fuels business relationships. On this episode you can hear how Josh Muccio came to be a part of the wildly successful podcast, The Pitch and what he s learning about good pitches, bad pitches, and the role the pitch plays in the life of everyday creatives and inventors like you. Before you even get to your pitch you ve got to shut up and listen. If you ve not read the modern literature about the art and craft of salesmanship then you may not know that there s been a shift over the past few years in the understanding of how effective sales are made. There s a lot more emphasis on the listening phase of the sales conversation these days, and rightly so. You don t know what to offer a potential client or customer if you don t know what they truly need. And you won t know if you have what they need unless you ve learned to shut your mouth and listen. Dane s guest today has a great way of emphasizing the benefits that come from listening and how it can help you close more deals and build a broader client base. He s also got some ideas how listening skills can help you maintain and grow your business over time, so be sure you take the time to listen. Do you have the confidence needed to make an effective pitch? If not, how do you get it? If you are a creative trying to make a living from your work you know the difficult, uncomfortable feeling of putting yourself out there, making yourself and what you offer the center of a conversation. There s a certain level of confidence that has to be inherent to the conversation in order to give your potential client the confidence in you to seal the deal. If you don t already have the confidence from your past experience or upbringing, how do you get it? Dane s guest today, Josh Muccio says that it comes from repetition and intentional confidence building that you can do yourself. You can hear his explanation and how he applies it practically in his own life, on this episode. What does it really take to succeed as a creative entrepreneur these days? The internet has made it simpler to build a thriving business but it s not necessarily easier. The same things it s always required – hard work, hustle, creativity, diligent thinking – are still in high demand. It s the entrepreneurs who are willing to apply themselves to those things who will stand out from the crowd in the end, who will become the leaders in their fields and the ones whose companies last and satisfy customers for years. On this episode, Josh Muccio tells why those qualities are so important and what you can do to make sure you re doing the right kind of work to set yourself up for lasting success, so be sure you listen.

In today's episode, we talk with Josh Muccio for part two of our interview about The Pitch. Make sure you catch part one!

In today's episode, I interview Josh Muccio, the creator of The Pitch (thepitch.fm).

Telling your own story can be hard. Making a good podcast about that story is even harder. I get some great advice from some friendly folks as I look at the tech and podcast communities and learn what makes them special. Our podcast journey began in a Slack community called Maker Hunt where people from the http://producthunt.com community gather to chat, network, and help each other out. I talk to the creator of this cool corner of the internet Eric Willis. He tells me how he first got connected with Product Hunt and became the community manager there. I then talk to Josh Muccio who is the host and producer of the podcast version of Shark Tank called The Pitch http://thepitch.fm. He gives me a reality check and gets me to take this whole podcasting thing a lot more seriously. He introduces me to The Intern podcast http://theintern.fm which tells the personal tale of Allison Behringer as she begins a new tech job in New York city. Once again I get hit with the realities of telling a story in this medium. The tech community turns out to be very unique and people are surprisingly giving of their time. We also get an interesting email from our developer, Anthony.
