Veteran Blogger Jane Maynard from This Week for Dinner is a mom, a mompreneur, a podcaster and blogger. I knew immediately I wanted to talk with her on my own podcast and she didn’t disappoint. Several things from our conversation stood out for me. She talked about how her blog was her base or resume for getting her work in other areas. How podcasting is at the ground floor of entry and why it’s got such huge potential. Imagine what will happen when cars easily access podcasts? Then, I loved, how she talked about Scruffy Hospitality, and where and how she prioritizes things for her family. Jane helped frame how the blogging world was shaped. I have no doubt she’s “in” on how podcasting will be framed out too.
We talked about many things:
- The power of networking
- How and why she started her podcast
- How Storytelling Podcasting is "where it's at"
- What will happen when technology and podcasting catch up with one
another
- Bloggers vs Podcasters - what the difference in followers means
- Building good content on the ground floor
- How she's a little more strategic with her podcast than she was with her blog
- How she manages the different relationships
- Where and how she spends her focus in terms of time spent
- How she manages her time, projects and family
- Scuffy Hospitality
