No Mercy / No Malice: All Ears

Pursuit of Excellence

Scott Galloway's relentless pursuit of greatness spans across teaching, writing, and podcasting. He reflects on his journey from founding successful firms to joining NYU's faculty, where he taught over 6,000 students, yet still feels true greatness eludes him. Despite publishing books and achieving significant podcast success, Scott humorously describes his TV ventures as disastrous, likening himself to the "Covid-19 of the idiot box."

I am not a historian. We now get more than 2 million downloads each month, and every episode has more listeners than any CNBC show has viewers.

His podcasting journey began with an invitation from Kara Swisher, leading to a thriving platform that allows him to explore both market-focused topics and personal growth 1.

   

Podcasting's Edge

Podcasting offers a unique advantage over visual media, according to Scott Galloway. He highlights its convenience, allowing listeners to engage without needing full attention, unlike the cumbersome process of selecting TV content. Scott notes that while big players attempt to monopolize the podcasting space, the medium remains accessible, fostering diverse voices and innovation.

Podcasting is also a more convenient medium than any visual format. It doesn't require our full attention, so more of our day is available to podcasters.

--- Scott Galloway

He sees podcasting as a rewarding medium with a high return on investment, contrasting it with the labor-intensive nature of television production 2.
