Podcasting and Podfading 

Jason starts the conversation with how his podcast Grumpy Old Geeks started. After asking his then co-worker Brian to be his co-host, Jason reveals that their original premise is to quit immediately if they don’t make money within the first 10 episodes. Interestingly enough, it was only after hundreds of episodes that they made their first dime.

On another note, Jason shares why he doesn’t like the word “podfade,” because, in their language, it means quitting. He explains that some podcasters are quitting after an average of 13 episodes because they ran out of things to talk about. 

“Generally,  a lot of people should quit because they didn’t think it out before they started. They didn’t have a plan for long term growth and what they were going to do. They just didn’t have the chops to do it and that’s fine. I bet it was a fun experiment. They had a great time. They learned something. I don’t begrudge anybody that starts a podcast and gives it up.  We do that.  You got to try.” – Jason DeFillippo

Love What You Are Doing 

Jason shares a few more stories when they started the podcast, such as a constant disagreement with his co-host. Coming from different fields and backgrounds, Jason described their discussions to be respectful. Ultimately their passion for their craft is the main reason why they are still podcasting.

You have to find the passion for what you’re doing with the podcast or it’s not gonna last. If you wake up and you don’t want to do a podcast, podcasting is not for you.” – Jason DeFillippo

Invest On Your Equipment

When asked about their first mistakes, Jason reveals that they had to start with crappy gears. He says that such gears were a hindrance to the development of their podcast.

Jason adds that they had to spend thousands of dollars to keep on stepping up with their new gears. He also says that they had to take time to learn how to use them properly to maximize its capabilities.

“If you’re gonna jump in, jump in hot and get the good stuff for two reasons. One, you’re gonna sound better. You have to have good quality audio on a podcast nowadays. It’s table stakes period. But also if you don’t like podcasting, the higher end equipment has great resale value. So you’re gonna lose less money if you quit podcasting.” – Jason DeFillippo

About Jaime Jay

Meet Jaime Jay – a man who wears many hats, and wears them all admirably. He's a master connector, an entrepreneur extraordinaire, and a published author who knows how to get things done.

Before he found his way to the business world, Jaime served his country as a brave paratrooper in the U.S. Army. But that's just the beginning of his many accomplishments.

He's the founder of the renowned Bottleneck Distant Assistant Services firm, and his book "Quit Repeating Yourself" has become a must-read for entrepreneurs everywhere.

When he's not busy building his empire, you can find him on his beloved Harley Davidson, cruising through the countryside and taking in the invigorating effects of Uitwaaien – a Dutch practice that involves facing the wind to boost health and relieve stress.

He enjoys spending his free time outside building stuff with his wife, Nikita the dog and their two kittens (for now at least) Tommy and Tater.

He is ‘over-the-moon’ happily married to his wonderful wife Sara, his amazing daughter, Jessica, who is serving our country as a United States Army soldier. Jaime and Sara are the proud grand parents of two beautiful little girls.

I started last March 24, 2021 as a Dedicated Distant Assistant and it was an awesome experience. In this new journey, as Security Administrator of Bottleneck Distant Assistants, I have been supported by the team, A LOT !!!! All help that I need, the whole team is there to support me. I know that there are a lot of room for improvements with my skills and what I know, but because of BNDA, I became equipped with all the weapons I need to conquer the daily challenges especially with my tasks. With BNDA, they will not just help you to aim high, but soar the skies!

What an awesome business! Finally, a way to hire the RIGHT person for my administrative tasks and they are remote! No office space to consider, W2's, 1099's or payroll. Jaime and his team of remote workers are top-notch! I hired my first assistant in May. I recently suffered a motorcycle accident and it left me unable to work for 2 weeks. But my assistant stepped right in to guide our CEO on all matters financial. It’s so nice to have that stress eliminated from my life!
