Mark Puls was an under-the-radar podcaster from Arizona, navigating the vast digital sea with over 100 episodes under his belt but not quite catching the wave of widespread listener engagement he hoped for. He co-hosted shows to avoid the spotlight of solo presentations, but even with a partner in dialogue, the traction he sought remained elusive.
Then came iSELF from The Passion Company, a beacon in the fog for Mark. This wasn't just another self-improvement gig; it promised a deep dive into Imagination Technology, a concept that intrigued Mark enough to give it a whirl. Skepticism in tow, he embarked on this 90-day journey, hoping to unearth the secret to revitalizing his podcast.
"Imagination Technology has opened up the floodgates of connection, communication, and energy from both sides coming and going.” - Mark Puls
Applying iSELF's principles led to a noticeable shift in Mark's approach. Suddenly, reaching out to potential podcast guests wasn't just a shot in the dark but a strategic move. This shift in tactic paid off when a tweet led to a sit-down with the U.S. Ambassador under Barack Obama, delving deep into the intricacies of the Israeli conflict, unpacking layers of diplomacy, tension, and the quest for peace.
But Mark's podcast wasn't about staying in one lane. He swerved into the fast lane of technology and sustainability, bringing on a visionary from Sweden at the forefront of electrification, wrestling with the colossal task of revamping infrastructure for electric cars. The conversation sparked discussions on innovation, sustainability, and the future of transportation.
And just when you thought Mark's show was veering into serious territory, he flipped the script, bringing on a popular band with over 2 million downloads on one of their songs. This episode was a vibe, blending tunes, tales, and the truth behind music that moves the masses.
Mark’s transformation didn't stop at successful guest acquisitions. He began to redefine his workspace, delineating his office from his podcasting area, and reached out to people with newfound vigor.
“Not only have I been able to garner people that I admire, find as good thinkers, or people I'd really be curious to talk with. But I have people actually asking me to speak with them.” - Mark Puls
The journey with iSELF propelled Mark into a realm of opportunities he hadn't anticipated. Invitations to other podcasts started rolling in, marking a significant departure from his earlier experiences. Technical hurdles and fluctuating social media metrics became mere stepping stones rather than roadblocks, as Mark navigated these challenges with renewed resilience and focus.
Mark's story with iSELF turned into a narrative of transformation and triumph. It wasn’t just about reinvigorating his podcast; it was a holistic shift in mindset that permeated every facet of his professional endeavors. His podcast, once a quiet corner of the internet, blossomed into a vibrant platform for meaningful discussions, showcasing the profound impact of embracing a new way of thinking and the power of action.
“It's basically doubled the flow." - Mark Puls
