REPLAY OF PODCAST THEORY LIVE 7.15.24

Did you know when you create a podcast episode, you give yourself access to a plethora of content that can be utilized throughout your digital brand presence?

It's true! Not only do you have the ability to impact your audience clamoring for dynamic audio content, you can repurpose said content and utilize it for:

✅ Short and long-form videos
✅ Blog posts
✅ Social media posts
✅ Email newsletters
✅ Website content
✅ Webinars
✅ The framework of a book

And the list goes on.

On this installment of Podcast Theory Live, I'm sharing why repurposing your podcast content is such a vital piece of the podcasting puzzle, as well as why it gives you the ability to work smarter not harder.

This approach doesn't just apply to hosts and creators...it also applies to guests as well. If you're utilizing podcast guesting as a means of building your brand presence, there are ways to use that content for your own benefits, as well as the podcast you're appearing on.

Today's installment kicks off a small series of episodes dedicated to the power of repurposing and how to maximize your content creation initiatives.

It's the return of Podcast Therapy!

In Season 3, I started doing these sessions once a week and I'm happy to report this series is making a comeback.

In today's installment, I'm going to talk about why it's important to show up to your podcast for all the right reasons.

If you haven't heard my story, I got into podcasting out of spite. I had a troll confront me on Twitter who happened to be a podcaster and I wanted to prove I could do it better than him.

I have no idea what I thought I was going to accomplish with that mindset, but I was incredibly fortunate to discover my calling...partially by accident.

Almost 10 years later and I'm still going strong, leaning into podcasting and livestreaming pretty much every day of the week.

With many things in life, the pursuit of perfection will derail us early in the game or, because perfection seems unattainable, prevents us from taking the initial steps to getting started.

I've got news for you: perfection IS unattainable. And thinking you can produce a perfect podcast is a fool's errand.

Today on Podcast Theory Live, I'm sharing my thoughts on perfection in the podcast space and why we need to do our part to make it go away.

I'll also share how livestreaming has helped me lean into this belief even more - leading me to embrace some of the flaws and work harder to communicate a clear message to my audience.

I've been part of the podcasting world in one way, shape, or form since 2015 and, without question, I've seen a lot of things change, evolve, even go away completely.

Yesterday, I was building out a new video series and reflecting on how far I've come over the past decade in regards to confidence, delivery, speaking ability, and sharing my message in a clear, concise fashion.

It got me wondering: if I was coming into podcasting right now, for the very first time, what would I do differently today that I didn't do 10 years ago?

On this episode of Podcast Theory Live, I'm going to share my thoughts. If you're in the position of getting a new podcast launched or just broke into the podcasting scene, come learn from my mistakes so you can do things better than me!

One of the biggest epidemics in the podcast space is podfade (when a show's creator stops releasing new content out of the blue with no announcement).

A recent statistic that was shared in one of my communities is that a whopping 90% of podcasters don't get beyond their THIRD episode.

That's a total shame. Especially when you consider the creators of these shows most likely had a ton of energy and a ton of passion for bringing their podcast to the world.

But once the work began and a million listeners didn't flood in, the passion waned.

Of course, you and I both realize those are unrealistic expectations. But often times, podcasters and creators can get too fixated on the wrong metrics, losing sight of why they started their podcast in the first place.

Today on Podcast Theory Live, I'm going to dive into the subject of podfade and share three ways it can be avoided like the plague.

If you want to succeed in podcasting, a commitment to building your show and your skills over time is imperative.

Click that play button and discover how to make it happen!

In podcasting, just like life, we often find ourselves focusing on too many things at once. When we do this, it spreads our bandwidth thin and we put less emphasis where it needs to be.

These overwhelming feelings are often the driving force behind those ugly words we hate to hear:

Depression.

Burnout.

Podfade.

Failure.

But let's take a moment to simplify things.

What if we just focused on ONE thing...the MAIN thing...and let everything else fall into place?

In this episode of Podcast Theory Live, I'm digging into the philosophy of focusing on one thing and making it the main thing...with a podcasting spin, of course!

Credit where credit's due: Alex Sanfilippo, Founder of PodMatch, spoke about this during his presentation at the Empowered Podcasting Conference and his point resonated very strongly with me.

No matter what your main thing is, make sure it's front and center with everything you do.

The first-ever Empowered Podcasting Conference went down June 28th thru June 30th with podcasters, creators, and livestreamers from around the world coming together in Charlotte, NC.

The event was a true testament of community and the knowledge and wisdom that was shared throughout the weekend has the podcast world buzzing.

I was part of the festivities, handling some emcee duties and moderating a panel discussion on how podcasting is becoming a better version of social media.

Now that the event is in the history books, it's time to reflect on the weekend that was.

In this installment of Podcast Theory Live, I'm sharing five of my big takeaways from the inaugural Empowered Podcasting Conference.

Discover what you may have missed if you weren't in attendance or, if you WERE in attendance, relive some of the great things that took place in Charlotte.

Ask any podcaster who's been at this for a while and, more than likely, they've experienced the story I'm telling today in some way, shape, or form.

In today's installment of Podcast Theory Live, I'm wrapping up my 5-part series of wild and crazy experiences I've had in the podcast space and this one...it's a doozy.

Well, maybe "doozy" is too strong a word...

Or a word I shouldn't be using at all because, well, it's stupid...

But I will say it's a fundamental step every podcaster needs to be aware of and, once you make the mistake once, you find a way to NEVER make it again.

Enjoy!

If you've ever been a guest on a podcast, you've more than likely been asked some questions that simply didn't jive with you.

Perhaps they made you completely uncomfortable...

Or maybe they were just plain out of bounds and the host didn't care.

Or...perhaps the host asked you THE WORST question you can get when you're a guest on a podcast because it reveals they did NO preparation for your collaboration.

In this installment of Podcast Theory Live, I'm telling the story about the time I was asked what is easily my least favorite question as a podcast guest.

If you're a host or aspire to be one, DON'T. DO. THIS.

There's an unwritten rule in podcasting that stands above the rest: Listener Experience is EVERYTHING.

If you aren't respecting the experience you provide for your listeners, chances are they won't be your listeners for long.

You only have one chance to make a good impression in this space and, as more podcasts become readily available for people to consume, that belief is even more prevalent.

In order to capture your listener's attention, you need to deliver a quality product...

A lesson I learned in a very painful way.

In this installment of Podcast Theory Live, I'm telling TWO stories where I completely neglected listener experience.

But when I went to edit the episodes, it hit me how important this aspect of podcasting truly is.
