In this episode of Podcast Gurus, we’re diving into the power of podcasting as a strategic content engine for niche B2B industries with Tony Mormino, host of HVAC TV and Director of Marketing at Air Control Concepts. Tony breaks down how podcasts can be used not just for brand visibility, but also to educate technical audiences, build industry trust, and create long-term engagement in traditional sectors like commercial HVAC. He shares how his show went from internal Teams meetings during COVID to a full-scale video-first podcast reaching thousands of engineers and contractors.

Tony has helped position his company as a leader in the HVAC space by consistently showing up with high-value educational, engaging, and approachable content. He walks us through how to get started even without fancy equipment, why showing up scared is still better than waiting, and how creating authentic, useful content can turn your brand into the go-to expert in your field.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode:

• Why every niche, even HVAC, has room for a great podcast.
• How to use video and audio content to educate your buyers at scale.
• Why don’t you need perfect equipment to get started? Just your phone.
• The role of PDH credits and webinars in growing a B2B audience.
• Why being the “face” of a brand podcast matters, even if you’re not the CEO.
• How to get podcast guests (even in traditional industries).
• The mindset shift: do it scared, do it scrappy, and focus on value.
