Podcast to Cash: The Foundational Four, VIP Packages & Live Pods ft. Brendan Boyd
Joe sits down with Brendan Boyd, founder/CEO of Imperfect Action, to break down how entrepreneurs can turn a podcast into a profit center—without a giant audience. Brendan unpacks his Foundational Four (digital products, paid community, affiliate partners, VIP package), the Live Podcast model that converts on the spot, and how to build a podcast acquisition system (pod-closing) that brings in clients directly from the mic.You’ll learn how to package your show like a media business (LLC, EIN, business banking, funding), why a VIP package turns free guests into paid ones, how a paid community gives your audience access they actually want, and why most shows die in the “podcast graveyard” (no offers, no CTAs, no plan). If you’ve been publishing without monetizing, this episode gives you the playbook to flip the switch.

Schea breaks down today’s youth-sports machine (NIL, portals, vultures), the role parents play in building or breaking foundations, and the non-negotiables he coaches: discipline, humility, and accountability.Now through his Academy of Ideas and the Manchild movement, he’s turning his experience into a blueprint for the next generation—so gifted kids become grounded adults.
