Most people would kill to get Gary Vee on their podcast. Omar Zenhom did… and still barely scraped 400 downloads. His words?  “That podcast was shit.” But instead of quitting, he pivoted. Leaned into his strength as a teacher. And built The $100 MBA Show—130 million downloads later, he’s still showing up three times a week, every week. In this episode, Omar breaks down: - Why his first show flopped (even with big-name guests) - The soda-on-the-boardwalk trick that jumpstarted his growth - What creators get wrong when trying to monetize - His no-BS strategy for building real momentum - How he bootstrapped a SaaS company and sold it (as a non-tech founder) If you’ve ever felt stuck with your content, burnt out on “expert advice,” or tempted to copy someone else’s style—this one’s a wake-up call wrapped in humor and honesty. 🔥 Warning: May cause uncontrollable urges to start (or restart) your show the right way. 📌 Drop “20X” in the comments if you’re done playing small. 📌 Subscribe for more content that doesn’t suck. #contentcapitalist #100mba #podcastfail #businesspodcast #saasfounder #kenokazaki #omarzenhom Follow Omar Zenhom at: https://www.youtube.com/@100mba    https://www.instagram.com/omarzenhom/   https://www.facebook.com/ozenhom   https://www.tiktok.com/@theomarz   https://www.linkedin.com/in/omarzenhom/   https://x.com/TheOmarZenhom  — Time Stamps: 00:00 Quitting His Job—No Plan B 00:15 What a Failed Podcast Taught Him 03:18 How He Hit 130M+ Downloads 05:27 The Overlooked Skill That Drives Growth 11:05 How He Got Listeners Without Ads 23:08 Simple Tools That Actually Work 24:01 Building SaaS with Zero Coding Skills 24:50 Finding Tech Talent on a Budget 26:46 How He Pre-Sold a Product from Scratch 32:13 Avoiding Burnout as a Creator 36:23 A Smarter Way to Plan Your Year 37:57 How Free Content Builds Trust 40:22 The One Thing That Makes You Stand Out 42:55 The Question That Fixes Bad Content 43:46 Omar’s Final Challenge to You —  About Ken Okazaki Ken Okazaki is the CEO of 20x Agency, a full-service video marketing agency that specializes in A-Z content creation for platforms like YouTube, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok.

This episode is for: Podcasters ready to make the jump to video Entrepreneurs wanting to grow their brand with video Content creators struggling to build a sustainable system Creators tired of YouTube “hacks” that don’t work long-term Anyone serious about building a brand  This episode is a little different. Instead of a regular interview, this is a case study, a real behind-the-scenes experience when Omar Zenhom decided to take the “$100 MBA Show”—his audio-only podcast—to YouTube. He knew one thing: video is a different beast. For over 10 years, Omar built a wildly successful podcast with millions of downloads. And if that sounds like an exaggeration, go ahead and Google "top business podcasts" and see where his show ranks. That’s where my team at 20X Agency stepped in and took Omar from podcast-only to a full-fledged YouTube brand with a proud 11K subscribers (and counting), and scale his content on all major social media platforms without burning out! Key takeaways from this case study: The YouTube shift: Why podcast and video audiences behave differently Content strategy upgrades: How Omar refined his delivery for video How to grow your audience while keeping your workload manageable Omar didn’t rely on viral gimmicks.

This episode is best for: Coaches drowning in inconsistency People who dream of running a business from anywhere  Moms rebuilding after burnout Those who hate vague marketing advice Anyone sick of trading time for money --- This week, I sat down with Sarah Greener—a New Zealand-born, Thailand-based business coach who helps mompreneurs claw back their time and profits. We dug into her wild journey from running 9 businesses (and failing at most!) to scaling a coaching empire that lets her work less while earning more. Sarah’s “boring” systems let her work 3 days a week while her business earns cash. If you’re still “hoping” your content works, her $42K ad ROI story will hurt (in the best way). –- Key takeaways: Effective Content Marketing: How Sarah 40X’d her Instagram DMs. ROI or GTFO: The investment that turned $2k in ads into $42k in sales by using a simple system Trust ≠ AI Avatars: Sarah’s techniques in filming content that 5X’d her engagement.
