S3 Ep18: A difference of opinion...

The Goodbye Poor Hello Rich Show

Welcome back to the Goodbye Poor Hello Rich Show with me, Des Hamilton! Big news - we’re now twice a week! Every Tuesday, I’ll be sharing my thoughts, journey, and what’s piquing my interest. Thursdays will stay focused on interviews with inspiring guests. It’s a fresh new format.
In this episode I reflect on the advice given from Simon Squibb to Hayden Davidson on Hayden’s Make it Big podcast. I cover:
Episode Highlights:

• Simon Squibb’s Surprising Take on Podcasts
  My reaction to Simon Squibb’s advice that podcasts are overdone, too expensive and hard to commercialise. Why I respectfully disagree and how I’ve built a podcast that charts weekly (peaking at #11!) without spending a fortune.
• Why I’m doubling down on the podcast with two episodes a week—despite being told podcasts are “overdone.”
• The Power of Persistence
  Why most podcasts don’t make it past episode three, and how I’ve grown mine with nothing but determination, authenticity, and value-driven content.
• Why Giving Value for Free Works
  The journey from £200 to a six-stream income business, built on giving value for free, and why it’s still my #1 strategy.
• Practical Steps to Build Your Platform
  How I’ve used tools like podcasts, Facebook groups, and YouTube to create an engaged community that supports my entrepreneurial growth—and how you can too.
  

This is your reminder that you can start where you are, with what you have, and still succeed. Whether it’s a podcast, a side hustle, or a full-blown business, the barriers to entry are often lower than you think—especially if you’re willing to put in the work and show up consistently.
💡 What do you think?
I’d love to hear your thoughts on Simon’s take, my response, and how you’re using podcasts or other platforms to grow.
So grab a cuppa, tune in, and open up your earholes.
