SHOW NOTES: http://ryanrhoten.com/jaredeasley
Today we welcome to the show Jared Easley from starvethedoubts.com
A self-proclaimed “everyday guy” Jared also happens to be an podcaster, speaker, author, and a master networker.
His podcast Starve the Doubts, has been featured on Entrepreneur.com and the Huffington Post as the #1 emerging entrepreneurial podcast.
Jared is a co-founder of the Podcast Movement conference - A conference by podcasters for podcasters. This event was held for the first time last year and was such as overwhelming success that the second annual Podcast Movement conference will be held later this year (2015) in Ft Worth Texas.
As an author Jared’s book: Podcasting good to great; How to build your audience through collaboration is an Amazon #1 best seller.
But don’t let the title fool you. At it’s core, Podcasting good to great provides you with a proven roadmap that will help you become a great connector and influencer.
PODCASTING GOOD TO GREAT
Launched on the opening day of the Podcast Movement conference, Jared’s book, Podcasting Good to Great quickly rose to number one status on Amazon. Having practiced what he preaches in the book, Jared had already built an amazing audience through collaboration.
This same audience propelled his book to the number one spot in three categories.
Jared is the original Noticer and is big on being the noticer vs chasing influencers. Chasing influencers, Jared explains, is what many of us try to do in the hopes of propelling our brands, which rarely works out.
Jared challenges that rather than spending your time chasing influencers, being the noticer is much better way and much more rewarding use of your time.
Being the noticer starts with the realization that no one really cares about what you’re doing or working on, unless you take the time to care about others first. By noticing others first, we generate rapport which will eventually lead to reciprocity.
Being the noticer is very much like planting the garden and then watching it grow. It takes time but will yield you benefits down the road.
Frankly, if you’re looking for instant gratification, this formula will not work for you. The formula of being the noticer takes time and does not scale but it is a great long-term strategy.
We even discuss how to apply the “being the noticer” formula to the job search and the importance of being in the 3%.
Hint: As a podcast listener you might just be in the 3% already.
PODCAST MOVEMENT CONFERENCE
Jared is a co-founder of the Podcast Movement Conference. We discuss how the conference came about and the steps necessary to make the conference happen.

Don’t let the name of the conference fool you into not attending. Whether you have a podcast or not this conference is top notch and I highly recommend it.
