JJ Virgin has been podcasting since 2014, evolving from the Virgin Diet Lifestyle Show to Well Beyond 40, which focuses on powerful aging. High-quality production costs money, so she's launching a $4.99-per-month VIP tier for ad-free listening, with a 7-day free trial.
It's been over 10 years now that I've been podcasting, and it's been quite a journey. If you've been along for any part of this wild ride, you know what I mean. And if you're new to the community, welcome, and let me take you back in time for a moment. I launched this podcast back in 2014. I actually had to convince my team that this was a great idea because pods weren't really a thing back then. It started as the Virgin Diet Lifestyle Show, then it moved to the JJ Virgin Lifestyle Show, and then even for a brief time, I did a daily short show called Ask the expert. I missed the ability to go deep into subjects that you and I were interested in, and most of all, connecting with the amazing guests that you meet on the show. And it turns out you did too. So I went back to our current format, and then last year we rebranded to Well Beyond 40 to go all in in everything that supports powerful aging. We also started bringing in some advertisers last year as well. Producing a podcast is a lot, and it takes a village to do well, and I wanted to make sure that I could turn out a high-quality show that serves you well and that you'll love so much you'll want to rate and share. And of course, that's an investment to produce. The revenue from ads helps cover the costs of creating powerful new episodes, bringing on renowned experts, and keeping the show going strong. But I also know ads aren't for everyone, which is why I'm thrilled to announce our new VIP podcast model. For just $4.99 a month, the cost of a latte, you can listen to this podcast completely ad-free. And the best part, you can try that for free for 7 days. That's right, no ads, just the podcast you love uninterrupted.
