Boss Goddess

If you wonder about entrepreneurship or have some beliefs that you can’t lead from a place of joy and make a great living then my chat with this week’s guest Ever Gonzalez, the Founder of Outlier HQ is going to change your mind about that. And I say “my chat” because this conversation is like listening to two friends chatting over coffee. This is a really authentic insider look into how one thing leads to another when you’re coming from a place of core and letting that be the navigation point for how you create what you want to create. 

That said, Season five is the Begin Podcasting season and Ever’s company, Outlier HQ is a wonderful platform he’s created based on his podcast also called Outlier HQ, where he hosts podcasting events and has developed an amazing community of Podcasting Outliers.

Today's Question: What Would It Feel Like To Have Space & Abundance? 

Each week we’ll ask a question of our subconscious mind by saying it consciously…with some context.

What would it feel like to just ask yourself for the changes you’d like to see? To start to think differently about things in your life you would like to change simply by asking yourself…a small question.

How it works: you ask a question that does not need to be answered in the moment. 

Why it works: your brain does not know how to deny a question. It is designed to answer it. But by asking it in this way…it’s your subconscious mind that does the work for you. Ask and then just let it go. Your subconscious brain will do the work for you.

Since this week I had the expert of experts on sales and cpm’s and ad insertion and podcast monetization then I couldn’t let her go without breaking it all down for us. If you’ve ever needed the basics on how to work with brands, what they’re looking for, how to leverage your niche to monetize and all the definitions around CPM’s, dynamic ads and more then the conversation I have with Allyson Marino, the Founder of podcast ad agency Lipstick & Vinyl is for you.

Allyson’s bullet points of what you need to know:

• Brands are looking for their customer in your audience 
• Smaller listenership can garner ad sales if it is niche specific & has an engaged audience
• How to calculate CPM 
• Total impressions per month (total episode downloads for the whole month) is how you create the number to share with advertisers that represents your current listenership
• Dynamic Ad Insertion versus Native Reads

My guest today has been on this podcasting Industry journey with me practically since the beginning of my career as an entrepreneur but she shares with us just how invested she was in what podcasters have to say and helping them keep it all going through ad sales and creating monetization opportunities for them long before she ever started her company Lipstick and Vinyl. A female-forward podcast ad agency whose motto reads “We live to give voice to the underrepresented. We see a future of media that is a true reflection of people who live in our society. Through podcasting we amplify new voices. People like people who sound like them.” 

The authentic telling of her journey is riddled with lessons and takeaways if you’re interested in starting anything, are ready to be bold and take the leap or if you just want to know what it’s like to be a woman in the sales industry, how to venture out on your own and what it’s like to be a part of a new media.

Plus this episode is releasing the same date that I met Allyson in 2018 exactly three years ago. Happy Pod-iversary to us and cheers to our intuitive journeys (because this release date was not planned!)

One of the biggest hurdles for many of us when wanting to start our own podcast is the technical. The gear, the sound, the set-up, the audio proofing, the recording a session, all those wires and software and what the heck is a DAW? It sounds kinda overwhelming. But this week’s guest Scott Slaughter breaks it down for us in this episode practically. 

Scott's Checklist for Building Your OWN Home Studio:

1. Know what type of interviews you’ll be doing
2. Consider the sound quality that is important to you to have
3. Understand the space you’ll be recording in 
4. Decide if you want to sound treat your space naturally or with more audio-specific items
5. Hire a sound consultant like Daniel Tureck
6. Decide on gear purchases and set-up
7. Create a welcoming environment for your guests

If you’re considering podcasting but the tech and the equipment part feels a bit overwhelming and it’s getting in the way of your start, then my guest, Scott Slaughter, the co-host and a producer on the podcast The Only One In The Room shares how he conquered the technical that came with building his own studio quality at-home recording space last year when all went remote as well as his whole story around the hurdles and growth he had along the way. 

His decision to walk through those fears only to find more creative freedom and empowerment on the other side is what today’s episode is all about and quite frankly, it’s also what is at the core of what podcasting is all about. And it’s the reason the show stayed alive AND exponentially grew its listenership.

My guest wanted to write her own story on a bigger scale and share it by way of a memoir. But then reality struck and she was given the advice to find a way to become even more visible before that bigger step of writing a book. 

The decision she made to hold space for OTHERS stories by leveraging an experience she had in order to share the creative space and collaboration was how her podcast The Only One in The Room was born and is also where our stories intersect. This journey may help YOU make a decision for yourself about something that could grow to warm the hearts of thousands of people just like it did for my guest, Laura Cathcart Robbins, the host of the popular podcast The Only One In the Room.
