#018: One Chat Saved Millions—Plus a Podcast Hack You’ll Want to Steal

One Convo, Endless Possibilities
What if one chat could rewrite your future—or your business? This week, I dug into a convo that turned an intern into a powerhouse and a podcast trick that’s pure cash-flow magic.

Two game-changing stories from Conversations That Grow and Podjunction Podcast - one about seizing the moment, the other about a podcasting power move that skyrockets authority and revenue!

Spotlight #1: Conversations That Grow
“The Intern Who Changed the Game”

Meet Dr. Ken Gembel—engineer, founder of Luck Unlimited, and proof that “laboring under complete knowledge” beats luck any day. As a 21-year-old intern, he dropped a truth bomb on his CEO: a big project was failing. Instead of a meltdown, the boss listened, pivoted, and saved millions. That moment rewired Ken’s thinking—titles mean nothing, value means everything.

• Mic-Drop Quote: “I don’t want you to be frustrated—I want you to be focused.”

• Why He’d Crush a Podcast: Ken’s got grit, stories, and a knack for turning chaos into wins—he’d have listeners hooked in seconds.

Spotlight #2: Podjunction
“The Podcast King with a Million-Dollar Move”

Then there’s DJ Sprague, CMO of Shopper Approved and co-host of Cash Flow Kings. He’s not just talking eCommerce—he’s sending guests a 291-page Reputation King book in a fancy kit (gold million-dollar bill included!). It’s his hook to snag big names, build authority, and grow his business. Genius, right?

• Steal This Hack: DJ’s “Dream 100” list—targeting ideal guests—turns his podcast into a growth rocket.

• Pro Tip: Mail something tangible. It’s not a gift—it’s a game-changer.

Sadaf’s Playbook: Your Growth Nugget
Here’s my take: Ken proved one conversation can shift everything; DJ showed how to make every episode count. Want your podcast to drive real results? Pick guests who matter, make every episode a magnet for growth, and give them a reason to spread the word.
