Hey, Alex here. Before we get into today's episode, I want to share some really exciting news with you. We just launched a podcast network. If you go to podmatch.com forward slash network, you can take a look at all the shows and categories that are involved. And if you'd like to have your show listed in the network, you can press the join network button at top. I look forward to seeing your application, and I hope you enjoy some of the shows there. And And now let's get into today's episode. You're listening to Podcasting Made Simple. Hey everyone, Alex San Felipe here, host of Podcasting Made Simple. And today I am really humbled and honored to have three friends with me today, people that I really look up to and admire in the podcasting space. I'm joined by Jemmy.

I'm joined by Glenn.

I'm joined by Rob.

And I'm going to say this real quick.

These three have been in podcasting longer than I have. I was thinking about it. Like being in a room with people that have been doing this longer than me is a gift. It's a really cool thing. And all three of these people have played very unique roles in helping me become the podcaster I am.

So by the way, I hold you three responsible for the monster that you all created, which is Alex San Belivo. So thank you for that, everybody. But I'm going to let each of you introduce yourself. And Jimmy, we'll just start with you. All right. I am producer, Jimmy. I am the owner and operator of Flintstone Media. It's a podcast production house consultancy firm that I've had since 2014.

And I want to say congratulations to you, Alex, because apparently both your company and my company share the same anniversary date of June 16th. So you just turned 11 years. You turned six

years. So that's awesome. So that's what I do. I help people launch shows and grow shows,

whether it's a single show or a whole entire network.

I'm also the owner of the Florida podcast network and the Power Mons Network. That's what I do. So cool. Love that. Glenn, before I have you introduced yourself, why do people call you Glenn the geek? Is that like a nice thing? Or? Yeah. Is it okay? I was always kind of the first to do things. Like we had like the second horse retail business online for the horse world.

We were kind of the first to do things. Like we had like the second horse retail business online for the horse world. We were kind of the first ones to sell on eBay. I just kind of like doing things first. So that's how the geek came about. Okay. So I wasn't sure if it was nice or mean, but Glenn, Glenn, the geek, tell us a little bit more about what you do real quick here. Well, I've been podcasting. First podcast was in 2006. I founded the Horse Radio Network, and we, you know, we've done

pretty well over the years. I've personally hosted over 5,000 episodes. And our daily show, Horses in

the Morning, is almost 16 years now. And that one's approaching 4,000 episodes. Same hosts, by the way,

that myself and my co-host, we started together, and we're still doing it all these years later.

And then I sold the network about three years ago to a company called Equine Network. It's a

media network in the Horseworld. And they've grown, and they own like 16 different

companies now. And so now I work as basically a consultant, still hosts my shows and don't have to pay the bills anymore. It's great. That's so cool. I love that. And who handles a lot of the Equine Network production? Yes. It is like. Yes. There you go. And Rob, by the way, I had this rumor because when I started becoming more known in podcasting, I told people that I was 6.5 because someone guessed that on like a Zoom call one time. So this is 2020. And then 2021 or 22, whenever we came back in person, turns out I'm actually 510. But Rob, you might be that tall, which I didn't know until we met in person.

Yeah, I think it's safe to say you can't really tell the height

by the Zoom call. You know, it's bad when you're the one that people thought was tall and then you end up being short, which 510 isn't short, but I was called short. Like, wow, you're short. I'm like, no, I'm not. Right. But anyway, Rob, tell us a little about yourself real quick here. Well, I'm 6'8 and I played college basketball.

So I put that height to use for 13 years.

I played competitive basketball.

So I don't need it now.
