For Kevin, It All Started On The Subway

Kevin Chemidlin is a podcaster and podcast coach. His first podcast, Philly Who?, was launched in 2018 as a side hustle while he was a corporate software developer. Just months after launching the show, Kevin decided to leave his 9-to-5 and go all-in on the podcast. Within 18 months, Philly Who? surpassed 100,000 downloads and more than $140k in monetized revenue. In 2020, Kevin began helping other podcasters grow and monetize their shows as well. He launched Grow The Show, a podcast, and the Grow The Show Accelerator, an intensive podcast accelerator program. In just 2 years, the Grow The Show Podcast has amassed an audience of 30,000, and the Grow The Show Accelerator has served over 350 podcasters, generating multi-7 figures in revenue. Kevin’s mission now is to help as many independent podcasters turn their shows into a profitable business as he possibly can.

About the Author
Seth is a former journalist turned digital marketer. He started his own agency in 2008 at the start of the banking crisis. Great timing, right? In 2010, after being a consumer of podcasts since 2005-ish, Seth ventured into doing his own podcasts. He started with Addicted to social media that eventually morphed into Social Media Addicts. Both of these shows have been of the web for a few years now. Currently, in addition to Goldstein Media, Seth's agency, he hosts two podcasts: Digital Marketing Dive and this one. He also has a weekly newsletter called Marketing Junto. To say he's busy is an understatement, but he enjoys every minute (well for the most part).
