We Are Podcast

Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast where each week Ronsley Vaz, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest lineup, explores why you should start a podcast; build an audience, and how to keep them hungry for more. 

If you’re thinking about starting a podcast or simply looking for a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you.

People starting their own business often become wrapped up in the details. How many staff should I employ at the beginning? How many computers should I buy? Where should my office be? Oftentimes, however, the success of a business comes down to a larger sense of who you are and how you treat people. 

Tyson Franklin — a business coach, podiatrist and host of the “It’s No Secret” podcast — has plenty to say about how up-and-coming entrepreneurs need to focus on several key elements: connections, delegation and attitude, among other things. On the latest episode of “Should I Start a Podcast”, Tyson and I chat about these topics and more, all framed within the idea of how podcasts can help business owners get ahead. 

We also chat about: 

• How to be a “legend in your own lunchbox”
• How podcasting helped Tyson refine other parts of his career
• Why there is always room to improve, no matter how old you are
• How to work smart, not hard
• Why you need to prioritise certain clients over others
• The importance of a disaster plan
• How being kind to his landscaper helped Tyson land new business
• Why it’s sometimes important to cut negative people out of your life

The old business proverb “fake it till you make it” in today's world of business and marketing is not always the best path to take without your own company.

Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast where each week Ronsley Vaz, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest lineup, explores why you should start a podcast; build an audience, and how to keep them hungry for more. 

If you’re thinking about starting a podcast or simply looking for a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you.

When you meet a 25-year-old, you might not be interested in their advice on business and life. But what if that 25-year-old had already built a thriving business and established themselves as a thought leader in the marketing space?

Kyree Oliver has done exactly that as the owner of Influkz Interactive, a social marketing and consulting company based in the US. On the latest episode of Should I Start a Podcast, Kyree and I had an enlightening talk about his unconventional journey into marketing, why the industry is awash in fake social media “experts”, and why up-and-coming business owners probably shouldn’t even focus on marketing. 

Despite his age, Kyree is incredibly insightful and an absolute pleasure to talk to. No matter who you are, he has a perspective that will make you think. 

During the episode, we cover: 

• Why Kyree doesn’t read marketing books or go to conferences
• Kyree’s hesitation to work with new business owners
• How fake social media “experts” are good for his business
• The best way to build trust in your brand
• Why marketing should be the last thing you think about for your company
• Why Kyree doesn’t personally think about numbers and metrics
• What he learned from interviewing more than 800 people
• Kyree’s tricks to working with small ad budgets

There are big changes advancing on the horizon, and if you haven’t stocked your business bunker with the right survival kit, you could be in for a bumpy ride. 

Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast where each week Ronsley Vaz, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest lineup, explores why you should start a podcast; build an audience, and how to keep them hungry for more. 

If you’re thinking about starting a podcast, or simply looking for a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you.

In this episode, we take a look back at the hugely informative conversation between Ronsley and progressive entrepreneur Chris Krimitsos. Chris is one of those people that can’t sit still for long, he always has something in the mix. His boundless energy has allowed him to mastermind some incredible business ventures. 

From becoming Executive Producer CK Productions, a film production company that produced his own critically acclaimed film project “The Messengers: A Podcast Documentary,” to his multiple podcasts and TV shows, as well as keynote speeches and seminars.

Chris strives to empower audiences towards better opportunities for succeeding in business in the technologically complex 21st century, and in this conversation, that’s exactly what he provides. We discuss the inevitable onset of AI, why podcasting can set you up for the future and the hidden entrepreneurial opportunities in everything.
