I first met Jay Wong in person in Toronto Canada, very soon after I moved there after leaving Australia.
At the time his podcast, The Inner Changemaker, was still new, but I could tell Jay was going places. He had a real fire to succeed and was one of the most focused action takers I’d seen in a while.
It’s not surprising that just a few short years later his podcast led to the creation of a $20,000 a month online business, which has enabled Jay and his girlfriend Francesca to travel between Canada and Italy as digital nomads.
Jay however, wasn’t always in the world of podcasting.
He previously rubbed shoulders with millionaires and even a few billionaires when he worked for Dan Sullivan at his company Strategic Coach, and before that got his first taste of entrepreneurship running a painting company in Ottawa.
How Does Jay Profit From His Podcast?
Towards the end of this interview with Jay we dive into how he launched his podcast, including the steps he took to increase his ranking in the iTunes podcasting directory.
I was also very curious to hear Jay explain how his podcast lead to money making opportunities.
Unlike most successful podcasts, Jay doesn’t sell advertising to earn revenue, instead he’s built a business behind his podcast.
It was interesting to hear how his podcast was the catalyst to become a speaker, which in turn was the catalyst to launch a podcasting group coaching program and later a podcasting agency.
Podcasting can change your life, as it did for Jay. If you’re currently thinking of starting a podcast or you already podcast, make sure you listen to this interview.

Awesome! My big takeaway was well several things:
– we don’t need a big subscriber list to start.
– the podcast is a continuous cycle of putting yourself out there, listening to what your audience want then serving them.
– it is not about have a precise road map so much as having a general idea of what works and giving things a shot. Jay turned an initial speaking gig into a course, more speaking engagements and an agency, not by design but because he knew they worked.
– whatever works, keep doing it and making it better.
