We caught up with the brilliant and insightful Emilio Pastor a few weeks ago and have shared our conversation below.

Alright, Emilio thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. So, let’s start with trends – what are some of the largest or more impactful trends you are seeing in the industry?

I believe there is a significant shift underway in the media landscape towards independent sources. Surveys indicate that younger generations increasingly turn to podcasts, blogs, and social media for news, seeking authenticity and diverse viewpoints. While mainstream media will likely remain, the digital age has empowered alternative platforms like EP Podcast to thrive. As we continue to provide engaging conversations with entrepreneurs and public figures, we aim to be a trusted source for those seeking independent perspectives in today’s media environment.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers.

My name is Emilio Pastor, and I am the host of the EP Podcast, where we engage in passionate conversations with inspiring entrepreneurs, business owners, and public figures. My journey into the podcasting industry began from a deep-seated passion for learning from others’ experiences and sharing their stories with the world. Through EP Podcast, I provide a platform for thought-provoking discussions that delve into the realms of entrepreneurship, business strategies, personal development, and societal issues.

Any stories or insights that might help us understand how you’ve built such a strong reputation?

I attribute my reputation within the market to two fundamental principles: consistency and clarity. In business, taking the first step is often the hardest, but what sets successful ventures apart is their unwavering commitment to consistency. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the failure rate of businesses increases over time, with 20% failing within the first year, 30% by the end of the second year, 50% by the fifth year, and 70% by the tenth year. Similarly, in the podcasting realm, the majority of creators upload only one episode, with a steep decline in engagement after the first few episodes. By prioritizing consistency and continually showing up for our audience, we’ve managed to outlast many competitors.

Moreover, clarity has been instrumental in shaping our brand identity and attracting a loyal following. By clearly defining our mission, values, and commitment to our clients, we’ve created a compelling narrative that resonates with our audience. This clarity not only guides our decision-making but also allows us to effectively communicate our vision to others, fostering a sense of trust and credibility within our market.

In summary, consistency and clarity have been the cornerstones of our success, enabling us to establish a strong reputation and make a meaningful impact in our industry.

Are there any books, videos or other content that you feel have meaningfully impacted your thinking?

Two key concepts have significantly shaped my entrepreneurial thinking and philosophy. Firstly, the idea of ‘learn, earn, return’ resonated with me after hearing it from a member at the country club where I worked. This concept emphasizes the importance of continuous learning, financial success, and giving back to others. Inspired by this philosophy, I’ve structured my life around these principles, ensuring that each year I dedicate time to learning, earning, and giving back.

Secondly, Tai Lopez’s concept of ‘The Four Pillars of The Good Life’ has been instrumental in guiding my personal and professional growth. Lopez highlights health, wealth, love, and happiness as the foundational pillars of a fulfilling life and suggests that balancing these aspects is key to living well. I’ve adopted this framework as a tool for self-assessment, regularly evaluating my progress in each pillar and making adjustments to achieve greater balance and fulfillment. These concepts have not only shaped my entrepreneurial journey but also helped me navigate life’s challenges with clarity and purpose.
