Feisworld Podcast

In 2018, I bootstrapped the production of the first Feisworld Docuseries. It is the most challenging and rewarding project I’ve ever accomplished. Docuseries (aka episodic documentaries) share many elements in common with documentary. If you’ve been “cooking” some ideas, this series could help make it a reality.

From ideation, planning to budgeting, traveling on the road, post-production, marketing, festival submissions, working with distributors, I’m going to cover many topics throughout the entire lifecycle of docuseries filmmaking. What’s also quite exciting is that I’m producing many of these mini episode in near realtime. As of October 15th 2018, we’ll be done with production/shooting of the docuseries. Starting mid October we’ll be knee-deep into post-production with an expected launch date of our first docuseries in early 2019. 

Nonstop Dan started his YouTube channel at age of 12. Since then, he continued to produce engaging content on YouTube (226K subscribers as of October 2018) and travel around the world (often in first and business class) while earning a below-average income (i.e. based on US income average as of 2018). By the way, he’s only 20 years old!

Who is this guy? How does he do it?

Exactly. This is why I had to invite Nonstop Dan to the podcast.

This podcast is for you if you want to start traveling, or to travel more but haven’t been able to because of money, time, or a combination of both.

If you believe travel is only reserved for the rich, think agin.  

This podcast is also for you if you are a creator struggling to improve your content, engagement and grow your audience. On many levels, I find this part of the conversation even more compelling than world travel.

Jordan Harbinger (@JordanHarbinger), once referred to as “The Larry King of podcasting,” is a Wall Street lawyer turned talk show host, social dynamics expert, and entrepreneur.

He was the host of a Top 50 iTunes podcast called The Art of Charm, which I had been listening for years and resulted in this first interview with Jordan.

In early 2018, Jordan found himself in an unexpected situation where he had to leave the show and rebuild a new podcast from the ground up.

This interview isn’t about being at the top, but how to rebuild and go back to the top.

In this episode, Jordan relentlessly shared his insights on how he did this. Within months, he saw millions of downloads for his new podcast - The Jordan Harbinger Show, where he deconstructs the playbooks of the most successful people on earth and shares their strategies, perspectives, and insights with the rest of us.

Jordan’s beliefs:

Hi guys, I'm a day late in launching this episode!

I'm back in Boston for a few weeks from part one of the Feisworld Docuseries after spending two weeks traveling across America. (Part two will take place in Seattle, WA) during the second week of October. 

I want to thank YOU for all your support! This short episode is for you , which is a recap of what I've learned and how I've felt being on the road for 2 weeks producing the docuseries. 

xx,

Fei

Blogger and artist Kristin Huntley asked me 8 questions in preparation for her blog. I recorded an audio piece with my answers for these questions, which is the episode you are listening to.

When I started Feisworld Podcast in 2014, I knew very little about audio production, but I did know a thing or two about growing an audience (thanks to 12 years of working as a digital producer). 

In recent conversations with other podcasters, I casually unveiled a tactic I’ve been using since the inception of Feisworld to increase my podcast awareness and engagement. 

Most people have not heard of me, and I love interviewing unsung heroes, "getting the word out" isn't trivial. 

I hate gimmicks, and growing downloads alone didn't appeal to me. This approach below is for those who of you who want to grow your podcast in the long run. There's no quick fix. 

The one pre-requisite is that you need to have guests on the show to maximize impacts. 

Alternatively, if you are a one-man show but you discuss other people and topics, I can see some methods work in the same manner. Give them a shot and please let me know your feedback below in the comments area. 

What’s the one hidden gem? Simple:
