BIOGRAPHY

Hey all, my name is Harry and I’d like to tell you a little bit about myself.

I’ve been aspiring to kick off this entrepreneurial thing for years now. After several false starts I was able to get my first mobile app built in late 2012  (which you can check out here). But needless to say, it was no ‘Flappy Bird’. Which is OK, because electronic music is one of my passions, having been a DJ for 20+ years. One important takeaway is to work on things you’re passionate about, because it will definitely get you through the highs and lows.

Fast forward to early 2014, and via an ah-ha moment I experienced at New Media Expo, I had the desire to start up a podcast. Although it seemed a bit meta, and straight out of Being John Malkovich, I thought, “Hey, how about a podcast about my love of podcasts and people who are on the same page as me?” It seemed like an inspiring enough idea so I moved forward.

It’s been a whirlwind of activity and I’ve learned a ton. I continue to line up interviews and am putting together some great processes that are saving me a ton of time during the production stage. It’s the part that’s eating up the most time, so I’ve got to put my OCD hat on and see where I can work smarter.

Thanks for visiting and if there’s any questions you have about my journey or this page, or my process, feel free to comment below!

Some of the common questions Corey and Jessica get asked a lot are about podcast statistics and metrics. Do download statistics really matter? This is what our hosts touch on for this episode. They interview a wide range of guests to talk about their personal experiences with statistics and if it really matters at the end of the day what those numbers say.

This week on The Podcast Producers, Jessica Rhodes speaks with host of Beyond The To-Do List, Erik Fisher. Erik is a Productivity Author,Podcaster, Speaker and Coach

Beyond The To-Do List on Noodle.mx is the show where Erik talks with people on all aspects of productivity, getting good work done, and living a good life. He talks with real people who practically implement productivity strategies in their professional and personal lives. You’ll be refreshed and inspired after hearing how others fail and succeed at daily productivity and continue to lead successful and meaningful lives.

This week on The Podcast Producers, RAW AND UNCUT, I speak with Jeff Brown of the Read to Lead Podcast.

Jeff is a 26-year radio industry veteran. In 2013 he launched the Read to Lead Podcast which quickly became a Top 3 Career and Top 10 Business podcast. RTLP has also been nominated Best Business Podcast twice. You can subscribe via iTunes or Stitcher. In December 2013 Jeff began training and personally coaching new and up-and-coming podcasters in the techniques and tips he leveraged to become an award-winning broadcaster. In August 2014 he co-founded PodServe, a done-for-you podcasting service, that helps content creators focus on creating great content while leaving the busy work of maintaining a podcast to someone else.

Be sure to leave us a quick review on iTunes!

This week, Jessica Rhodes and I give you a quick and dirty conversation about whether podcasters are narcissistic, impostor syndrome, and finding comfort in instant authority.
