Construction Junkie’s annual Best Construction Podcast of 2020 Competition is underway and the voting booth is officially open. As part of the competition, I will be individually highlighting each of the 12 nominees throughout until the booth closes on July 1. Next up is the Contracting Coachcast.
Hosted by Tony Booth, the Contracting Coachcast is not only one of the longest tenured podcasts in the competition this year, it easily has the largest collection of episodes. The Coachcast was previously nominated for Best Podcast in our inaugural competition in 2015 and also in 2017 and 2018. What makes the show so unique is the fact that a new episode is released every business day – that’s some serious commitment.
“Producing daily short form content helps me connect with listeners daily and provide them with useful information every day to help them,” Booth explained to me, “the 20 minute shows are perfect for the commute to work and being able to complete the podcast in a single session.”
Coming up with that much content can be pretty difficult, so Booth typically follows a daily schedule for subjects to discuss:
Mondays – Ask the Coach, in which Booth will answer listener questions
Tuesdays – Sales, Marketing, or Estimating
Wednesdays – Project Management
Thursdays – General Business or Leadership
Fridays – Personal Development
Booth doesn’t just podcast about these topics, either, it helps him support his contractor coaching and speaking business. He told me that the podcast helps to connect him to potential clients.
“The most rewarding thing for me has been hearing stories from listeners and clients that share how the podcast has impacted their business and life,” Booth said, “Those times when someone sends a note that’s says ‘you saved my business’ or ‘do you know how much money you have made me.’ It’s awesome to know that I was able to have an impact on someone I didn’t even know.”
