PodPopuli, America’s only full-service retail podcast experience with a location in Scottsdale, announced the addition of Daniel Barnard as chief strategy officer.

Barnard, presently the CEO of CapitalFit and a renowned wealth manager, financial advisor and business consultant, will oversee PodPopuli’s brand development, expansion opportunities and strategic partnerships nationwide, according to a press release.

“We are thrilled to add Dan’s experience and perspective to our team.” Brian Howie, PodPopuli founder, said in the release. “His unique ability to network, recognize growth opportunities and build a brand are invaluable assets to our expanding national footprint.”

PodPopuli recently celebrated the release of its 10,000th recorded episode, the most in America over the last three years. The company also leads the nation in the total number of podcasts produced on a weekly basis, with an industry-topping 64% of those shows hosted by women, the release stated.

“I was immediately attracted to PodPopuli’s vision and passion for the medium,” Barnard said in the release. “They are already a dominant player in podcasting production and services, I’m excited to help take their business to a new level across America and around the world.”

Barnard has over 30 years of business experience working in real estate, securities, retail investment, life insurance, estate planning, start-ups and small business, while collaborating with accountants, insurance agents, tax strategists, asset managers, innovators, entrepreneurs and industry leaders.

The PodPopuli team has more than two decades of experience helping thousands of people — the famous and the not-so-famous — share their stories and passion projects, developing shows hosted by entrepreneurs, executives, celebrities, coaches, business owners, dreamers, moms, dads, hobbyists, students, therapists, best friends, social clubs and community leaders.
