Podcast 45:54 | Download | Stitcher | iTunes | Comment

This week’s episode is the final instalment of our three-part series about people who have turned their passions (which just happen to be some of Dan and Ian‘s personal obsessions) into successful businesses.

Today’s guest is the podcaster that Dan has listened to the most in 2016: Nate Duncan, founder and host of the Dunc’d On Basketball Podcast. Nate has only been podcasting for a little over a year but has already turned it into his full-time job.

On the show, you’ll hear Nate share how he started his podcast, grew his audience, and made the decision to leave his job as a lawyer to concentrate on developing ‘Dunc’d On Basketball’.

Stay tuned after the credits for some hardcore hoop talk as well.
