REPLAY OF PODCAST THEORY LIVE 6.25.24

Ever had a podcast episode go viral?

Ever have that same episode piss off an entire country and start an all-out Twitter riot?

OK, maybe my viral episode didn't piss off ALL of Australia, but a certain contingent was not happy and they used Twitter to let me know...

All while the numbers behind my 5th EVER podcast recording shot through the roof! 😂

In this installment of Podcast Theory Live, it's Part 2 of 5 in my series of wild and crazy experiences I've had in my 10 years of podcasting.

Watch and listen as I share why an episode of my first-ever podcast caught fire "Down Under."

A podcast guest can add tremendous value to your show.

But if you don't set them up with the proper expectations for what you need from them...they may end up signing on to record with you while driving in rush hour traffic.

Yep, this happened to me once...and it immediately made me realize my mistake.

In this installment of Podcast Theory Live, I'm kicking off a 5-part series where I share some of the crazy stories that I've experienced in my near-decade in the podcast industry.

I'll also be sharing the lesson I learned from each of these stories.

Today's story is #1 of 5...

Starting a podcast is not an easy task, regardless of what that one "gooroo" on Instagram might have told you in some 30-second Reel.

Is it rewarding? Absolutely.

But does it also require the right mindset, a sound strategy, and an unwavering commitment to not only START a podcast, but keep things going with consistency? ABSOLUTELY.

In this episode of Podcast Theory Live, I'm breaking down my new Podcast Strategy VIP Day and sharing 10 reasons why you should consider joining me for this session if you're ready to launch a podcast OR knock the dust off and make improvements to an existing one.

One thing I wish someone would've told me when I first started podcasting: You don't know what you don't know.

And that's the guidance I want to bring to you.

Together, we will:

✅ Answer your burning questions about podcasting
✅ Dive deep into your podcast ideas
✅ Design your comprehensive podcasting strategy
✅ Build your production and marketing infrastructure
✅ Establish the proper branding for your podcast
✅ Lay out your podcast's first season and initial launch strategy
✅ Instill the right mindset to succeed at podcasting long-term

By time your VIP Day is over, you will be in a position where the only thing left to do will be to press record and bring your podcast to life!

Trying to start a podcast on your own, ESPECIALLY if you've never done it before, is a recipe for disaster.

Discover how a Podcast Strategy VIP Day will set you up for growth and success in the podcast space.

Guess what? Not everyone needs your shit.

Guess what else? Not everyone needs MY shit.

As hard as it may be to accept, the whole world did not wake up this morning needing exactly what you have to offer.

Nor does any podcaster need to bring you on their show as a guest because you explain to them how much success you've achieved.

One of the biggest issues plaguing the digital world is connection and outreach. There are too many people "pitch slapping" others from jump, taking no time to get to know an individual, discovering what's working for them and what isn't, and seeing if they truly have a solution that can help solve their specific problem.

Likewise, many aspiring podcast guests are focusing too much on their own accomplishments and accolades instead of letting podcasters know why they believe their show aligns with their mission and message.

I firmly believe the best way to cut through the noise in today's world is to be a genuine human. It's less stressful and will lead to far better results at the end of the day.

In this installment of Podcast Theory Live, I'm sharing what I've been experiencing in this arena lately and why it's important to bring a humanistic approach to connection, outreach, and overall communication.

When you hear the term 'podcasting,' what comes to mind?

For many, it's the act of creating audio content that's shared through apps like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, iHeart, and more.

While that answer is indeed accurate, podcasts have evolved and offer so much more that often gets overlooked by creators AND those who leverage the medium to make guest appearances.

In Episode 3 of Podcast Theory Live, I'm diving into how you can maximize the time you put into your podcast and get the most from your efforts, whether you're producing your own podcast or bringing your knowledge and expertise to the mic as a guest.

REPLAY OF PODCAST THEORY LIVE FROM 6.11.24

I came into 2024 knowing I wanted to make livestreaming a part of my production process...I just wasn't sure where it would fit and how I should proceed.

Where I landed was doing a weekly livestream called Let's Blow This Up Live, an extension of my new podcast, aptly named Let's Blow This Up.

I immediately fell in love with the process of livestreaming and knew I needed more!

Hence, Podcast Theory Live, the very livestream you're consuming as we speak, was born.

Now, admittedly, I'm still new at this. Yes, I've been podcasting for nearly a decade, but going live on a consistent basis is still a new venture (Let's Blow This Up Live started May 8th, 2024, just a tad over a month removed from the production of today's daily livestream).

In no way, shape, or form am I an expert...but I've definitely learned a few things to this point that I'd like to share.

Perhaps it's JUST the piece of advice you need to hear to get your own livestream up and running.

REPLAY OF PODCAST THEORY LIVE FROM 6.10.24

It's no secret the face of "social" media has changed.

Today, networks like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and others have become ad and algorithm-driven, making it increasingly difficult to maintain social standards once championed and rewarded by these platforms. Oftentimes, it's hard to even tell if you're connecting with a real person or a bot dead set on scamming you.

With podcasting, you always know you're connecting with a real person and, when value is front of mind with all parties involved, the opportunities for relationships to spark and big ideas to unfold is elevated in spades.

If you ask me, podcasting has become the new SOCIAL media of our world and brands, businesses, entrepreneurs, and professionals at all levels need to make it part of their communication structure.

This is the debut installment of Podcast Theory Live and I couldn't think of a better topic to tackle as I get this new series off the ground.
