- Solopreneur podcasts are NOT branded podcasts (NaPodPoMo Day 22)
What you’re creating is unique in the podcasting space. Your podcast is more business focused than a hobbyist independent podcast but it shares the heart of those projects. It also is not as salesy as the network or big corporate podcasts either, although it often shares a business topic and focuses. Neal and I dig into these differences some more in order to help figure out these nuances of what you’re creating.

15 min - How to encourage your guest to speak naturally (NaPodPoMo Day 17)
The English language has a very rhythmic up-down, up-down flow to it but when we get nervous that natural melody gets disrupted. If you have guests on your entrepreneurial podcast, you’ve no doubt seen the kind of “I’m being recorded” nervous I’m talking about. There are some quick and good humaning ways you can soothe your guest into focusing on the conversation with you without making them so relaxed that they go completely off task.

13 min - Some of your content needs to be deleted (NaPodPoMo Day 14)
Conversations are precious and intimate but when we start recording them we often are too careful not to change anything. Removing sections of an episode can make it more focused and in turn, make your brand look stronger and more trustworthy. We hate to be the ones to break it to you but spending time taking out parts of your episodes will help you branded podcast.

11 min - Naturally flowing conversations boost your brand (NaPodPoMo Day 13)
So far this week we’ve talked about how some crosstalk might be engaging while others can be off-putting for your potential clients who are listening. The most sound enticing thing you can do is create a naturally flowing conversation. Selected, intentional crosstalk can help this happen. But you’ll need some planning and probably some post-production help as well. Here’s why.

About Geopats Abroad : Chats with expats, immigrants, and locals
From the publisher's feed
Geopats Abroad is about what helps us feel grounded while in our life abroad.
For eight years of my serial expat life, I interviewed people about…
the things that helped them understand, adjust to, and feel more connected to the places they were living.
The original Geopats Abroad podcast ended in 2022, but the conversations still hold up.
Living Abroad, Culture, Identity, and Belonging
In these conversations, you’ll find stories from expats, immigrants, international students, long-term travelers, and people whose lives don’t fit neatly into one place.
The driving force of the podcast is my own curiosity and desire to connect with other internationals globally. This isn’t just an audio project, a podcast, a YouTube channel, an Instagram profile, a Stationary Store or a Substack. It’s a very personal project. It’s part of who I am and who I was while recording these conversations.
Some episodes are practical. Others are deeply personal. Most explore the small and big things that help us make sense of a new place and feel more at home in it.
What Geopats Abroad Explores
Each season of Geopats Abroad approaches getting comfortable in our new places from a different angle.
Season 1: Guests looked back at something they had written during an earlier period of living abroad, including emails, blog posts, and social media posts, and reflected on how they saw that experience differently later.
Seasons 2 and 3: Language learning. Season 2 focused on foreigners learning Mandarin Chinese, while Season 3 featured native Chinese speakers talking about learning English and other languages.
Seasons 4 and 5: Online communities that helped people feel more connected and at home in a new place.
Season 6: Books that helped people understand the places they were living in.
Season 7: Conversations about learning languages other than Chinese.
Season 8: Coffee and the role it can play in connecting to a place.
Season 9: Podcasting globally: how it’s similar and different. And of course, how it can connect us to each other in our new culture.
Season 10: A mixed season covering music, photography, returning home, and other parts of life abroad.
Season 11: Immigrant kids who later became expats, exploring how growing up between cultures shaped the way they experienced living abroad as adults.
About Stephanie Fuccio: Serial Expat Since 2003
I’m Stephanie Fuccio. I’ve mostly been living and working outside the U.S. since 2003 and have lived in Asia, Latin America, and Europe during this time.
My own experiences with culture shock, identity, belonging, language, and building a life abroad shaped many of the questions behind Geopats Abroad.
The podcast grew from my curiosity about what helps people feel grounded in a new place, how we build connection far from where we started, and how living abroad changes the way we understand home, culture, identity, and ourselves.
Geopats is my ongoing archive of those conversations
