Will I make money with my podcast?

Can I become famous as podcaster?

Will my wildest dreams come true?

Those might be questions you’re asking yourself right now.

When I was starting the Engaging Missions Show about 5 years ago, I had some ideas of what I hoped would happen because of my podcast but what actually happened surprised me more than I can say.

Listen to discover how mistaken ideas, missed chances, and unexpected opportunities might lead you to something better than you could have expected.

Are you thinking of starting something new? Maybe a podcast?

If you are, you might be looking for a path to follow or you might be looking for patterns in the lives of successful people and wondering if you can get it all done in time. But here’s the think: those paths are almost never linear (and seldom as clear as we remember them).

Even if you do all the research you possibly can, you'll find things you didn't prepare for. I had that experience when I started my podcast. And I’ve had that experience since I started editing as well.

If you're not careful, those things can derail you.

Listen to discover the difference key people can make in your life – even if you’ve never met them in person.

If you want to become a better podcaster, you need to learn and grow. You need to accept feedback. And you need to accept challenges.

Full Show Notes: https://toptieraudio.com/54

Do you want to become stagnant as a podcaster?

Of course you don’t.

As a podcaster and a podcast editor, I always want to be getting better. I always want to be better tomorrow than I was today. And to do that, I do a few things.

* I do the work.
* I seek feedback.
* I take courses.
* I participate in communities.

But there’s something else that I do and it’s more uncomfortable than the other things: I accept challenges.

Listen to this episode as I share with you a recent challenge that I accepted and how I hope that it will help me. And if you want to join me in this challenge, go to http://bigpodcast.com/subscribe for your daily challenge over the next 30 days and email me ([email protected]) to let me know you joined the challenge.

There’s a lot of confusion about what podcast editors do - and rightly so. Listen or watch to discover what the best podcast editors do - and it’s more than just cutting dialog.

What do the best podcast editors do?

That's a good question. Podcasting is young and editing is both an art and a science. There are many different views and approaches, but if you're looking for a podcast editor, "it depends" probably isn't a good enough answer, so I'll share with you my perspective on this.

Today we’re talking about what podcast editors do. It seems like there’s a lot of confusion about this, so I want to shed a little light on it. But just be aware that you'll need to have a detailed and specific conversation with any editor you're considering to ensure that you know exactly what they plan to do, what their approach is, and how you can best work with them.

Listen to discover:

• 3 different kinds of dialog editing
• The 4 additional things that great podcast editors do
• How your editor might become your trusted advisor
• The one stage that many editors miss (hint: it's more important than you might think)

If you’re editing your podcast or production in Hindenburg, you might have noticed that it can take quite some time to export or publish - especially if it’s a complex production with a lot of effects where you need to match a loudness standard.

Listen or watch to discover why it might be taking twice as long as it could and a three step workaround that might cut that time in half (or more).

1. Export the mix to your hard drive without any loudness normalization.
2. Import that file into your mix and solo it so that’s the only track to be processed (disable any effects you might have on a Master Track).
3. Export or publish that file to its final destination

Sometimes I hear things in podcasts that make me want to go off on a rant. Stuff that's not hard to fix before hitting "record" but difficult (if not impossible) to fix during the editing process.

Today I'm going to share a quick checklist of ONLY 8 items that will set up up for success and make your podcast editor (even if it's you) want to give you a hug. This isn't a long, exhaustive list of EVERYTHING that could go wrong. It's a list of things to check to fix what seems to pop up most commonly in podcasts. 

If you just check these 8 things before you record EVERY TIME, you'll consistently get a better recording, be able to focus better, and be able to produce your show faster. And you won't get overwhelmed by a LONG list that'll make you feel like a failure.

If you’ve ever made a mistake with your podcast you’ve probably done step one of fixing it - fix it. But have you also moved on to step two?

Mistakes are a fact of life - even for podcasters.

When you make a mistake, you might want to bury your head and hide. You might want to fix it and move on. But there might be something missing.

Let’s assume for a minute that you want to fix your mistake and keep going. you have the perspective to fix the issue, take it as a learning, and keep creating.

That’s admirable.

But it’s incomplete.

Unless you move on to step two of fixing your problem, you’re almost certainly destined to keep fixing the same kinds of mistakes over and over.

Those mistakes add up over time and cost you more than you might think in time, attention, confidence, rest, and even money.

So…make sure that you do one more thing when you fix your mistake to ensure you don’t make the same mistake again.

Listen to find out more.

Thinking about starting a podcast?

Maybe you've heard that EVERYBODY should have a podcast. And, while I love that podcasting makes it possible for nearly everyone to have a voice, there are some questions you might want to ask yourself before you start planning and spending.

The easy questions are things like "are you comfortable sharing your thoughts verbally?" But there are harder, deeper questions that you should ask yourself before you get started.

Listen to six key questions to ask yourself before you start planning your podcast launch, creating artwork, and buying equipment.

If you have a podcast, what did I miss?

I was recently asked this question: "Should I use my Apple AirPods to record a podcast?"

There are some good reasons you might want to record with them but also some reasons why they might not get you the best recording. Listen to discover what I shared.

• ART Dual Pre (interface that works well with iPhone, when connected with the Apple Lightning to USB Camera Adapter)
• Shure MV88 (the microphone I used to record this, while sitting in my car.
