"Here is how I would help MrBeast start a podcast" - Ben Wilson (PodRamp, HTTOTW, MyFirstMillion)

The Jennifer Kamara Podcast

Ben Wilson is the creator of How to Take Over the World Podcast, producer of My First Million Podcast, and founder and CEO of PodRamp. We discuss how to think about entertainment in content production and what exactly makes a great show. Ben tells me what he's learned about himself through podcasting, what's important to him in this season of life, and why PodRamp is so fulfilling. He walks me through how he would help MrBeast start a podcast, describes what shared impact Walt Disney and Sam Parr have had on him, and after much debate finally reveals who the better basketball player is between Shaan Puri and Sam Parr. Great moments with Ben!
