The Podcasting Party

Today I had the please of chatting with my Business Coach, Amber Housley.

Amber Housley is a creative business owner and sweet life cultivator (don't you just love that title?) who founded her first business in 2007.

Today, she's a Marketing Strategist for top creatives and influencers, producing hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue with her sales and launch strategies.

Amber has a big heart for helping women build thriving creative businesses and joy-filled lives. Balancing family and business is always going to be hard, but, she says, the trick is to get out of your own way and trust that there are smart strategies to run your business, so you can spend more time creating and being with the people that mean the most to you.

In addition to her business activities, she combines her love of business, creating, gardening, faith and family into one ‘sweet life’ with her husband and two little ones outside Nashville, Tennessee.

I am part of Amber's Blooming Business Inner Circle which you can find more out abouthere. As well as her podcast, The Bloom & Grow Show.

In this episode we chat about:

• Why a Podcast is great addition to any business
• How Amber produces a show without any editing (yes!)
• And how to repurpose and reuse your podcast content for maximum impact
• How you can think outside the box and shake things up with your podcast

This show was sponsored by ME! That's right, this episode is brought to you by my upcoming course, The Podcasting Party Podcast Course. The course is launching Monday, October 21st, but you can be the first to be notified by getting on the waitlist.

In the last few episodes we’ve discussed:

• everything you need to know to start a podcast
• the equipment you’ll need
• how to know if now is the right time to start a podcast

Today I want to jump in and discuss how to create a clear vision and firm foundation for your podcast.  We are going to do that with what I like to call the Podcasting Party Invitation. Now, just stay with me here. I know it sounds a little quirky but it will all make sense.The Podcasting Party Invitation is comprised of six categories, or building blocks if you will, that will help you  create the vision and firm foundation you need to create a successful podcast.

It's so easy to forget what those early days of podcasting were like. Slugging through articles, blog posts, and You Tube videos. Googling literally everything. Feeling equal parts elation and trepidation.

In this episode of The Podcasting Party, I'm chatting with newbie podcaster, Stephanie Bagley, and y'all if you're just starting out you won't want to miss this episode.

Stephanie and I talk about the importance of valuing your time as well as the importance of investing in your podcast.

We chat microphones, you won't believe how Stephanie found hers!

And Stephanie teaches me something new about a recording software I've been using for awhile. I guess an old dog, can learn new tricks. :)

Have you been thinking about starting a podcast? Are you wondering if NOW is the right time to start a podcast?

It’s an important question. Today I have four questions that will help you answer the ultimate question “How do I know if NOW is the right time to start a podcast?” Get ready because, we’re going to dive into all that and more in todays episode.

Sometimes in life, you're lucky enough to find that one person that gets you, that you completely click with, and when you're together pure magic happens. I'm not talking about a soulmate or even a romantic partner. Nope, I'm talking about a podcast co-host! Today, I have the pleasure of chatting with co-hosts, Meghan Splawn and Stacie Billis of the podcast, Didn't I Just Feed You? A weekly podcast about feeding their families. We chat about taking ownership of your podcast and how to gain sponsors.

Have you ever wonder what equipment you need to start a podcast, and how much it will cost? Have you been holding off starting a podcast because you’re pretty sure it’s not in the budget? Well then today’s episode is for you! Today I’m explaining the equipment you’ll need in order to start your podcast, and why you need it! Spoiler alert, my recommendations won’t break the bank.

Today I'm chatting with fellow podcaster, Libby John, Libby hosts the podcast Art & Faith Conversations. My favorite part of our conversation was the way Libby gives fresh eyes to the editing process. I love the way she describes it as a curated experience for the listener. If you feel bogged down by the editing process this one's for you!

What better way to kick off the first episode of The Podcasting Party than to dive into to a full overview of podcasting, an A to Z, if you will. When I began podcasting I had no idea where to start or what to do. I would have given anything for someone to break it down for me. We’ve got a lot to cover in todays episode, Everything You Need to Know to Start a Podcast so let’s not delay, let’s jump in!

Welcome to The Podcasting Party! I’m so glad you’re here.  Typically Introduction episodes are all about what you can expect from the podcast, and host. It’s the place to give you a little taste of what’s to come. It often outlines who the host is, why they are qualified to talk about the subject and what the show will be about including the format you can expect. But I’m going to break the norm and do something different. I am going to start by telling you a quick story...
