On this episode, Max talks with Michael Paretzky, co-founder and CEO of Podstock, an analytics and operations platform used by some of the biggest names in podcasting. Michael left M&A consulting after testing the podcast industry for 20 hours a week on the side, then built Podstock after stints at Odyssey, Cadence13, and Stanford GSB. They get into how to actually test a career pivot before quitting, what makes a good cofounder, and why podcasting is still dramatically undermonetized despite its reach. 0:00 Trailer 1:44 Meet Michael Paretzky 2:39 Life In M&A Consulting 9:48 Testing Podcasting On The Side 10:40 Joining Odyssey 14:02 Making A Big Leap 19:04 Path To Stanford GSB 22:10 Finding A Cofounder 26:04 Business Of Podcasting 32:00 A Podcast Superfan 34:50 Going International 38:03 Breaking Into Media 39:11 Recap ✉️ Connect with me Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/3dv9ff3b LinkedIn: https://tinyurl.com/mrxd9fvu Book a call ☎️ https://tinyurl.com/2rvxtjmn Website https://tinyurl.com/c3advtcv If you have any questions, feel free to comment below ⬇️ #WallStreetDiaries #WallStreetMastermind #PodcastBusiness #CareerPivot #StartupFounder #StanfordGSB #MandAConsulting #Entrepreneurship #PodcastIndustry #CareerAdvice
