Drew Ackerman, aka “Dearest Scooter," is the host of the incredibly popular podcast, Sleep With Me, where 3 times a week he tells “a lulling, droning, boring bedtime story to distract your racing mind” and put you to sleep. He has over 3,000 5-star reviews on iTunes from people with insomnia and sleep trouble who rave how Drew’s stories knock them out and how they can only get through 15 min of a 1-hour episode before dozing off. Today, we’re going to explore how Drew built such a successful podcast, what inspired him to start it, and what kept him going early on when he didn’t have an audience.
