We Are Podcast

Coming up with genius ideas and turning them into million-dollar businesses is a little bit of luck and a whole lot of hard work and dedication.

Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast where each week Ronsley Vaz, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest line-up, 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 finding a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you.

On this episode of Should I Start a Podcast we have Glen Carlson, podcaster and co-founder of Dent Global which is best known for their flagship 'Key Person of Influence' Accelerators. DENT are worldwide leaders in strategy and technology for entrepreneurial businesses. In the last six years they’ve built their global small business, with offices in the UK, USA, Singapore and Australia.

For Glen, he might say that turning ideas into profitable businesses is what drives his work everyday: helping people access their own best ideas and convert them into wealth-building assets.

For a little insight into Glen’s genius, tune into his presentation at 2017’s We Are Podcast, where he explains why we’re often terrible at realising how brilliant we already are.

In his talk, Glen covers:

• What assets are and why you need them
• His concept of “proximity bias” and how it can ruin your confidence
• The importance of valuing IP over physical assets
• Why podcasts can be great for generating wealth — even if they don’t make any money
• Why devoting energy to solving problems can be a waste of time
• How to create a product ecosystem
• What your job should really be as a company founder

In today’s world businesses can rise and fall off the back of a few well placed social media posts by only a handful of respected people on any given social media platform.

Welcome to Should I Start A Podcast where each week Ronsley Vaz, with the help of a star-studded entrepreneurial guest line-up, 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 finding a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you.

Influencer marketing is, as Danielle puts it, “the new word-of-mouth”. By hiring influencers and accessing their massive social media circles, your company can tap into new and relevant audiences and get more eyes on your product.

But how do we make things work in this Wild-West industry? At We Are Podcast, Danielle gave a talk on the benefits of influencers and how you can get some of the huge returns that people are seeing with this new form of marketing. It was a densely-packed and highly informative talk that no marketer should miss.

Danielle also talks about:

• Why some people are getting incredible results with influencers — while others aren’t
• How to transition influencer traffic to sales
• Why influencer marketing is the new “word-of-mouth”
• How some businesses are seeing 20-to-1 returns on influencer marketing
• The benefits of using a third-party software to access influencers
• Why a clear contract can save you from disaster
• How to avoid a PR nightmare by incorrectly using influencer content
• Why influencer marketing isn’t just for cool, young brands
