Chase Chewning joins Travis on this episode of the Travis Makes Money podcast. Chase is an Army veteran, wellness influencer, entrepreneur, and the host of Ever Forward Radio, a podcast he launched in 2017. He’s also the founder of Operation Podcast, a Los Angeles-based podcast studio and production company that’s grown into a multiple six-figure business. Known for his resilience after a serious military injury and his innovative approach to podcast monetization, Chase brings a unique perspective on building businesses that blend passion, expertise, and adaptability.
On this episode we talk about:
Chase’s journey from Army service and injury to entrepreneurship and wellness coaching
The founding and growth of Ever Forward Radio, including its mission and legacy
How Chase monetized his podcast beyond traditional advertising models
The evolution of Operation Podcast from online courses to full-service production and physical studios
Practical advice for podcasters on sponsorships, affiliate deals, and building local partnerships
The business model and economics of running a podcast studio in a major city
Lessons learned about customer service, self-promotion, and adapting to industry trends
Top 3 Takeaways
Monetize Creatively: Don’t rely solely on industry-standard podcast advertising. Combine sponsorships, affiliate deals, and your own products or services to maximize revenue-even with modest download numbers.
Know Your Audience: Understanding your listeners’ demographics and geography lets you pitch relevant sponsors and create valuable, targeted partnerships.
Build for Demand: Pay attention to what your audience and clients ask for. Chase’s pivot from online courses to done-for-you production and then to physical studios was driven by client demand and market trends.
