One line from a recent conversation between Tony Robbins and Alex Hormozi stayed with me:
“I don’t have all the answers. But I have access.”
That single sentence explains why interviews and podcasts are such an unfair advantage.
Tony shared how frustration with a broken system pushed him to interview 50 of the smartest people on the planet—people who started with nothing, not privilege.
Different industries. Different personalities.
One common thread:
Access.
* Not theory.
* Not opinions.
* But patterns revealed through real conversations.
Here’s the part most people miss though 👇
You don’t need to start with massive access.
You create access.
When you ask high-level people for their time, there are usually only three options:
1. Pay their consulting fee
2. Join their paid mastermind
3. Or… invite them onto your podcast
Most people can’t afford option 1 or 2.
But almost no one is talking about option 3.
An interview podcast lets you:
✔️ Learn directly from people you’d never otherwise reach
✔️ Build proximity without paying thousands
✔️ Create value first instead of asking for favors
✔️ Turn conversations into long-term relationships
✔️ This is why interview podcasts are modern-day apprenticeships.
- You’re not just recording content.
- You’re collapsing decades of learning into hours.
- You’re building a platform that attracts wisdom instead of chasing it.
And the beautiful part?
👉🏻 You don’t need to be famous.
👉🏻 You don’t need a massive audience.
You need:
- A mic
- Curiosity mindset
- And the willingness to do the work most people avoid
If you’re still thinking about starting a podcast in 2026, I’ll ask you honestly:
What’s stopping you?
Because if you’re serious about growth, authority, and access, this is the leverage move.
