Episode 147 – Alex Sanfilippo

Welcome to another episode of The HERO Show. I am your host Richard Matthews, (@AKATheAlchemist) and you are listening to Episode 147 with Alex Sanfilippo – Growing Your Brand Through Community Collaboration.

Alex Sanfilippo is the host of Creating a Brand – a top-20 entrepreneurship podcast that releases weekly masterclass interviews. The show is all about actionable content from successful leaders and subject matter experts on topics that help entrepreneurs make their first or next step in business the right one.

Alex is also the founder of PodMatch, a free service that automatically matches podcast guests and hosts together for great interviews.

Here’s just a taste of what we talked about today:

  • Alex joins us all the way from Jacksonville, Florida. Where he enjoys living close to the ocean. We also talk about alligators in Florida.
  • Next, we take a look at how Alex discovered a need for branding type of content in podcasts. And specifically through podcasting as a masterclass style where Alex may bring guests on for their subject-matter expertise.
  • We also chat about how Alex created PodMatch—a platform that automatically connects guests and hosts together.
  • Then, we talk a little bit about some features of PodMatch and our very own Push Button Podcasts. As well as the increasing listenership of the podcasting industry.
  • Similar to my entrepreneurial story, Alex started his first business at the age of twelve. He sold used golf balls and that was where he discovered his passion for entrepreneurship.
  • Alex had the entrepreneurial spirit at a young age but lost his way when he went into the corporate world. We talk about how he made his way back to entrepreneurship many years later.
  • Being good at responding to other people’s needs and seeing their ideas are Alex’s superpowers.
  • We have also talked about the importance of testing the market and recognizing what is already out there.
  • Perfectionism and addiction to productivity are Alex’s fatal flaws in his business. He consistently overcomes this type of flaw by letting his superpower drive him instead of his biggest downfalls.
  • Alex’s arch nemesis in his business, specifically at PodMatch, is finding and knowing the right people to join the platform.
  • Making sure that great interviews happen is Alex’s driving force at PodMatch.

The HERO Challenge

Today on the show, Alex Sanfilippo challenged Jared Graybeal to be a guest on The HERO Show. Alex thinks that Jared is a fantastic person to interview because he has just come up through a lot of opposition throughout his life and in his entrepreneurial journey. He is now very successful and doing extremely well. His journey is fascinating and a lot of people can relate to his story.
