The Top 10 Episodes of 2020

Congratulations are in order.

Since you’re reading this, you’ve made it to the other side of 2020. A year that taught us all so much (at times too much) about how quickly life shifts and how to reprioritize what matters most both personally and professionally. With that being said, 2020 was an incredible year of growth for Hustle & Flowchart, the business as a whole and for us as individuals.

Despite the quarantines, restrictions and limitations, Hustle & Flowchart thrived throughout 2020.  The podcast hosted dozens of amazing guests covering the most expansive topics we’ve had to date.

We hit more downloads than ever before, were on 71 different summits and podcasts throughout the year, spoke at three Podfest events, put on our own mastermind in Orlando, did a big live stream in March about how to thrive in uncertain times and we interviewed some of our dream podcast guests from our Top 100.

Our ultimate goal within each interview is to spark up a natural conversation where guests can passionately share their expertise. We’ve had the honor of hosting countless interviews with people we admire and have studied, true experts in their arenas.

Which brings us to the list, the 2020 Top 10 List.

In previous years our Top 10 Hustle & Flowcharts Episodes List was based on number of downloads per episode. We switched up our process this year by basing the episode rankings off surveys completed by you, the listeners. We wanted to gain a better understanding of what is resonating in these podcasts with our audience. This made our 2020 list more of a “listener’s choice” than we’ve ever had before.

So, without further ado, here are your favorite episodes of 2020.

Looking forward to 2021, our clarity is to connect the dots between businesses. Continuing with our trend from 2020, we want to refine what we’re doing day to day and prioritizing what’s most important, meaning make more while doing less. We have high expectations for podcast growth this year, as well. We’re planning to essentially double down on Hustle & Flowchart, our top funnel. This will allow us to focus on our guests and to get specific with the topics we share with you.

Along with the top 10 podcasts, we always like to throw in some of our favorites from the past year. So, in regard to our personal favorite Hustle & Flowchart episodes from 2020, Joe’s were the episodes we recorded while were traveling while Matt’s are Therapy Session episodes and episodes where we speak about affiliate marketing. The 300^th episode was a highlight for us both this year, too.

We want to wrap up with a few more of the epic experiences we had this past year. 2020 played out differently than planned but it wasn’t without it’s share of incredible moments.
