If you’re looking for the keys to your viral rocket launcher podcast content, chances are Ryan can help you find them.

In this sonic installment, Luis cross-pollinates traditional thinking on long-form podcasting with a shake-up from a man with a video production empire that is hellbent on outsmarting the algorithm for TikTok, YouTube Shorts, and Instagram Reels (short-form content).
