Marc Aflalo has produced more than 100 podcasts across 30 years in radio, TV, live events, and digital media. He has been doing it since before the word \"podcast\" existed. And his single biggest lesson is this: interviews get answers, but conversations create moments that move people to act. Marc Aflalo is the CEO of Aflalo Communications and has spent three decades in broadcast, producing shows, engineering live events, and helping creators develop their voice and brand across borders. In this episode of Podcasting Secrets with host Nathan Gwilliam, Marc reveals how one unscripted conversation generated $38,000 in overnight product sales, why throwing out the question list is the most underrated podcasting strategy, how broadcasting live from events with real crowd noise creates authenticity studio recordings cannot match, and how technology lets podcasters build audiences across borders without a single flight.
