Most podcast growth advice sounds exciting, but the strategies that actually work in 2026 are surprisingly boring–and far more effective. In this episode, I break down a growth strategy that isn’t flashy, but it works. If you’re serious about growing your podcast in 2026, you need a system, not random tactics. I walk through how to properly set up your YouTube channel before running ads, including what most people overlook that ends up killing conversions. Then, I show you how to run YouTube ads the right way—focusing on attracting the right subscribers, not just more views. I also discuss the hidden metrics inside Google Ads that tell you if your content is working, and how to validate if you’re bringing in the right audience. Finally, I go over one of the most underrated growth plays right now—podcast feed swaps—and how to use them to grow your downloads without relying on algorithms. If you want consistent, predictable growth, this is the playbook.

In this episode, I break down the exact media strategy big brands are using to control the conversation in their industries, and the good news is, you can copy it. First, I clarify the difference between market share and mindshare. And if you win mindshare, you start influencing buying criteria long before anyone talks to sales. Then I walk you through examples (like a16z and HubSpot) and why their content isn’t “viral”—it’s consistent. I also reveal the real secret sauce to becoming successful. I’ll give you my practical framework, plus why you need an owner for guest booking if you want to scale. In This Episode: 01:22 Mindshare vs. market share explained 04:02 Example: a16z and “owning” tech conversations 06:32 Example: HubSpot’s podcast ecosystem 07:20 The real secret sauce is infrastructure 09:01 Systems and tools to build your media machine 12:20 Why guest booking needs an owner 13:38 Winning the “silent” research phase in B2B ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📱 RESOURCES📱 ► Grab our in-depth 12-Month Podcast Road Map: From Set Up to Scale - https://top10podcasts.com/roadmap-guide ► The a16z Show - https://a16z.com/podcasts/ Episode “owning” tech conversation: AI Hardware, Explained (July 2023) ► Inside HubSpot Podcast - https://www.hubspot.com/podcasts/inside-hubspot ► Poppy AI (to help you make viral content & ads) - https://getpoppy.ai/ ► 80% Of B2B Buyers Initiate First Contact, Once They’re 70% Through Their Buying Journey - https://www.demandgenreport.com/industry-news/80-of-b2b-buyers-initiate-first-contact-once-theyre-70-through-their-buying-journey/48394/ ► Resources to Grow Your Podcast - https://www.notion.so/Your-episode-is-submitted-here-are-some-other-ways-to-grow-295001cc69278078867adec380e1163a ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📱 CONNECT with me on Instagram 📱 ► https://www.instagram.com/luisryandiaz/ Need help launching, growing, or ranking your podcast? ► https://top10podcasts.com/start ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

In this episode, I’m diving into how successful brands use a unique strategy to completely dominate their markets, not through viral hits or chasing trends, but by building something more powerful: media infrastructure. These companies aren’t competing for market share in the traditional sense; they’re creating mindshare—owning the conversation and shaping what people think. I’ll walk you through why long-form content is crucial for building this "moat" and why brands like a16z, Shopify, and HubSpot have used media to cement their authority. I also explain how you can replicate this strategy, even if you’re not a giant corporation. The goal is not just to play the game, but to control the rules. Ready to learn how to build authority and dominate your market with content? Listen now, and let’s dive into the strategies that the most successful companies use. In This Episode: 02:21 Media infrastructure, and why it matters 03:24 The difference between market share and mindshare 07:28 How a16z, Shopify Masters, and HubSpot use media to build authority 17:50 The role of mindshare in business growth and strategy 19:37 The system for creating a media strategy for your brand 28:59 Examples of podcasts with a proven content creation system 31:29 How brands control their market with long-form content 34:18 How to use long-form content to build your own brand moat ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📱 RESOURCES📱 ► Grab our in-depth 12-Month Podcast Road Map: From Set Up to Scale - https://top10podcasts.com/roadmap-guide ► The a16z Show - https://a16z.com/podcasts/ Crypto/Web3 Episodes That Moved Markets: All About NFTs (March 2021) NFT Use Cases, Today and Tomorrow (May 2021) From the Internet's Past to the Future of Crypto (August 2019) Guest Episodes with Outsized Impact: Balaji Srinivasan Episodes AI Hardware, Explained (July 2023) ► Shopify Masters Podcast - https://shopify-masters.simplecast.com/ ► Inside HubSpot Podcast - https://www.hubspot.com/podcasts/inside-hubspot ► Poppy AI (to help you make viral content & ads) - https://getpoppy.ai/ ► 80% Of B2B Buyers Initiate First Contact, Once They’re 70% Through Their Buying Journey - https://www.demandgenreport.com/industry-news/80-of-b2b-buyers-initiate-first-contact-once-theyre-70-through-their-buying-journey/48394/?utm_source=chatgpt.com ► Resources to Grow Your Podcast - https://www.notion.so/Your-episode-is-submitted-here-are-some-other-ways-to-grow-295001cc69278078867adec380e1163a ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬ 📱 CONNECT with me on Instagram 📱 ► https://www.instagram.com/luisryandiaz/ Need help launching, growing, or ranking your podcast? ► https://top10podcasts.com/start ▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Your videos aren’t getting ignored because they’re bad–they’re getting ignored because they’re missing three psychological triggers every top creator uses.
