Cliff Ravenscraft – Business Mentor, Strategist, and Podcasting Pioneer

Cliff Ravenscraft started podcasting as a hobby in 2005 and it changed his life forever.

In January 2008, he embarked on a life-altering journey, walking away from a lucrative career as an independent insurance agent in his family’s agency, founded by his grandfather in 1937.

Though he was next in line to take over the business from his father, Cliff chose a different direction. He transformed what began as a two-year hobby into an online business built around the content he had been creating. That content was already reaching hundreds of thousands of people across the globe and making a meaningful difference in their lives.

His first year as a self-employed business owner pushed him to his limits. With round-the-clock work, a modest $11,000 in personal net income, and a health scare that landed him in the hospital, the experience was grueling. Yet it sparked in Cliff a deep commitment to personal growth and development, allowing him to serve others at the highest level.

Over the following decade, Cliff built a thriving online business and became recognized as the world’s leading authority on podcasting. Through his coaching, courses, and live events, he personally helped more than 40,000 people launch successful podcasts.

As his business grew, Cliff generated millions of dollars through online courses, physical products, live events, mastermind groups, keynote speaking, and one-on-one coaching. But as more podcasters and creators began asking, “Cliff, how did you achieve this? I’m struggling to build a business around my podcast,” he began to notice a common pattern.

Many aspiring entrepreneurs assumed that launching a podcast was the best first step toward building a profitable business. In reality, they often skipped the foundational principles needed before creating content and cultivating an audience. These individuals had invested substantial time, effort, and money into attracting and serving an audience, only to discover they hadn’t attracted the right audience to generate the income that would fulfill their business dreams.

This realization led Cliff to develop his 11-Step Formula for Building an Online Business. He discovered that most people were starting at Step 8 (content creation and audience building), missing the crucial first seven steps that make a business sustainable. In 2017, he stopped teaching podcasting altogether to dedicate himself to guiding clients step-by-step from the foundational stages to the ultimate success of running a profitable online business.

Today, Cliff offers programs and coaching that embody the most vital mindset shifts, principles, tools, and strategies for building an online business that generates profitable, predictable, and sustainable income. Those who work with him learn to sidestep common pitfalls and create the focus, clarity, and momentum needed to realize the business of their dreams.
