The 808 Podcast and How It Can Help You – Bob Clark pt 1

808 Podcast and How It Can Help You – BOB CLARK

I’ve done several interviews on various podcast over the last few years. I’ve been on some good ones and thoroughly enjoyed the conversations. I’ve also been on some where I was watching the clock and waiting for it to end!  I’ve interviewed several hundred people over the last couple of years as well.

But I was on a podcast a few weeks ago that was so enjoyable, far far exceeding what I had anticipated. I just had to reciprocate and ask BOB CLARK to be on my podcast. I laughed and had a great time on his podcast, the “808 Podcast.” Why “808” you ask? Because it “looks like BOB!

Anyway, my guest today IS “THE BOB CLARK” of the 808 podcast – where everything revolves around BOB (which I could truly relate to)!

Bob Clark is an Internet marketing professional with extensive experience in Social Media Marketing (SMM) and Search Engine Optimization (SEO) in both the political and private sectors. In 2008, Bob got his start in politics running petition crews for various causes. After the 2008 election season, Bob started training politicians on the use of Social Media Marketing and SEO. During this time, he also worked with various local businesses of all sizes, aiding them with marketing their brands via Social Media Marketing and SEO.

Now, help me welcome to the program, THE BOB CLARK!

Bob – thank you for coming on MY program today!

Now, I always start with this question first. Other than that brief bio I just read, tell us in your own words, “Who is Bob Clark?”

Before we get into podcasting as a business, I want to talk for just a minute about you and helping politicians. Was that something you desired to become active in or did they seek out your help?

Were any of these nationally known politicians or state and local politicians?

You were also involved in getting several ballot initiatives in front of the voters, correct?

Ok, let’s shift gears a little bit…

How did you get started in podcasting and why?

I know, when we talked, the “808” podcast was not your first podcast. Why did you start the “808” podcast?

Is your podcast part of that coaching program?

Tell us how you are able to monetize your podcast?

When we talked before, you said that being a “strong willed business owner and a Christian is tough.” I know what you are talking about and agree…But can you explain what you mean to our listeners?

I know that one of the things we both agree is agitating concerns businesses who try to “market” their business through Christian meme’s and postings.  I’m guessing it is an effort to “market” their Christianity and get customers to a non-Christian related business.  What are your thoughts on that marketing tactic?

I agree. I have no problem sharing my Faith, but as Marlon Brando said in the “God Father” – “Business is business.”

In my opinion, IF you have a Christian Business – it’s proper to use Christian meme’s, etc. to market that business. That would be the reason people would be searching you out. But if your business is, I don’t know, selling car tires or something – I’m more interested in the type, quality and price of the tires I’m getting. Your Faith, in my mind, does not really matter at that point.  IF I find out that the price, quality and type of tires meet my needs and then we establish a relationship and I find out about your Faith, I am more likely to be a returning customer. But I’m not looking for a tire dealer based upon Faith.  Does that make sense?  Is that kind of where you are at on this?

About your host

Profile picture for Robert Thibodeau

Robert Thibodeau

I am a 12 year Army veteran as both enlisted and as a commissioned Cavalry Officer.
I am now a retired law enforcement supervisor...

I had my own business for seven years before I entered law enforcement.

As a cop, I was injured on the job on May 12, 2007 and after several surgeries over a couple of years, forced to retire in 2011.

As I was looking down the road to “what am I going to do next?” I started what is now known as a podcast (I had no clue at the time).

Within six months of starting (what I called) “My online radio program” I was offered an opportunity to be on nationwide AM radio. I learned A LOT in one year of doing that!

I then started the online Christian radio platform "Evangelism Radio" in the fall of 2010. It has had listeners in 160+ nations and all 50 states. We host 50+ Christian broadcasters on a weekly basis. We have been operating 24/7 for almost 14 years now. We have been rated #1 in the world by Shoutcast. com on several occasions in our genre. We recently transferred ownership of Evangelism Radio to another ministry so I could concentrate full time on podcasting, preaching and writing.

In 2018, I started the Kingdom Cross Roads Podcast to conduct interviews with Christian influencers from all walks of life and to play their interviews on the radio station. (The KCR Podcast has its own time slot on Evangelism Radio)!
We now have over 1600 episodes and almost 1100 interviews (in just over 6 years).

Looking out at the future of online Christian media, I noticed there was no viable platforms that catered only to the Christian podcast market.

In 2023, we launched a networking platform called, "FaithCasters" which connects "Great Christian podcasters with Great Christian Guests!" This helps to promote the work you do through podcast interviews! Check it out at https://FaithCaster.org

We recently launched "FaithCaster Academy" which serves as a training hub for ALL of our trainings (podcast training / speaker training / interview training, etc.). Members receive access to ALL of our training programs for one low, monthly membership fee. Members also receive FREE access to ALL of the LIVE trainings I conduct (1 or 2 per month) - while non-members have to pay to access the live trainings.

Between my podcast training program, conducting podcast interviews, appearing on other podcasts as guests, speaking at conferences (in person and virtually) and the podcast networking platform, I guess you could say “I’m all in” when it comes to podcasting and online media!

My total focus is to do all we can to assist you to “Get The Word Out” about your mission, services, products, ministry, books, business, etc.
