“Don’t chase the money. It’s all about connecting back to why you started. Tell your story.” [00:13:30]

“I changed a little bit… I am not the person to carry that torch anymore. I love it, but I have a different voice now. When I did, I lost my numbers. That is what I did not want to happen. But what are you going to do? Now, I am slowly building up and I am ok with that.” [00:25:40]

Quotes:

Well with a podcast, I can be out working in the garage, I can be mowing the yard, walking the dog, all of the things. It just gives your audience a different way to consume that content. (9:49)

Whenever you are listening to a podcast, it is a very, honestly, a very intimate moment because you're in their ears. And so it's just like music. I mean you know when I was a kid, like headphones listening to the music, it seemed more intense and it seemed like you were kind of in this other world. And so it's kind of the same with, with spoken word like, that kind of brings you into a moment if you're a good storyteller as well, that you can obviously create a very strong connection with the person listening. (11:39)

I'd imagine that connection and loyalty and trust that's already built in. If they are consistently every single week, hearing you every single week, seeing you, they see your social posts or see your blogs, they see all your stuff. When you reach out, a lot of times they already feel that connection with you. (15:04)

Quotes

“Create content that's going to get a viewer. Not only click on my video, but want to comment on it, want to like it, and want to share it.” [00:11:50]

“Getting in the comments and truly having genuine conversation that’s not: emoji, emoji emoji, and then bouncing out of there. It's treating the other person like they're a person and interacting with each viewer of the content or with creators themselves.” [00:17:04]

“To try and reach new audiences and not really have a catalog of ways to serve them, there's not going to be a lot of value for them sticking around. You have to have your community in place first… In order for new people to be reached and then come to your page window, shop your channel and say, you know what? Yes, this is, this is why I'm here.” [00:24:23]

Show Quotes:

“Once somebody goes one time, they see that people are not judging you, but they're trying to figure out how to be helpful, particularly in NWA. There's something in the DNA here. A lot of people really want to help you and figure out how to help you succeed, and they're not looking for any kind of reciprocity. They just love to see people do well.” [00:13:07]

“Figure out how to help people without any expectation that they might ultimately be customers. Establish that thought leadership. Don't do it in a superficial way because people can smell that and see right through it. But, if you do it in a genuine way, you begin to be viewed as somebody they can trust.” [00:19:08]

Show Quotes:

“As social creatures, we're hardwired to worry about our reputation and how others perceive us. The decision our brain makes to determine whether or not a situation is stressful is made by sensory input and processing. And for most people, the danger of blowing their lines when they're going live is enough to trigger a fight or flight response.” [00:15:58]

“People don't want to see a professional, they don't want to see a news anchor. They want to see you.” [00:20:55]

“It takes time to build that community, that audience that really cares and that they would even trust you with their time.” [00:25:23]
