We Are Podcast

Sometimes, we all just need a bit of guidance, whether it’s in your business, your home life or just finding your way to making better daily decisions.

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 finding a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you.

Our latest episode features Tripp Lanier, who is a highly successful entrepreneur and fellow podcaster.  As a veteran host of The New Man Podcast: Beyond the Macho Jerk and the New Age Wimp, Tripp has interviewed some of the most prevalent authors and experts from all walks of life. He strives to coach folks all around the world, the value of breaking away from their mundane lives, whilst guiding them towards more personally fulfilling careers and relationships.

His decade plus career chatting behind the mic isn’t his only interest – he’s also a life coach, author and musician. Whilst the initial intention of this episode was to talk about podcasting, the conversation took an interesting turn and evolved into a well-rounded discussion, surrounding unhealthy self-images, managing your expectations and knowing when to ask for help.

Other topics we cover include:

• The early days of podcasting
• How bargaining with ourselves stops your personal progression
• Our two inner voices, and knowing when to listen to the right one
• Combatting your mental resistance
• Why men tend not to reach out for help
• The liberation of experiencing challenges
• Breaking past your own ego
• Finding your own emotional recharge process
• Fear responses and their effects
• The skill of practicing new habits
• Taking the time to be honest with yourself
• Tripp’s take on receiving compliments
• Looking at what you truly appreciate in your life

Taking your audience from avid listeners to paying members can be a lucrative way of monetising your 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 finding a better way to get your message out to your audience, then this is the podcast for you

The membership model, on paper, is a great idea. You generate a community of loyal subscribers, they pay you every month and you have a consistent revenue stream. The problem is, it’s not as easy as it sounds. The churn rate, or the amount of people that quit using a subscription after only a few months, can be very high. And people, especially nowadays with so much content out in the world, demand a very high degree of quality if they’re going to pay monthly.

At We Are Podcast 2016, we had a panel of industry experts sit down and share how they’ve made their own subscription models work. The discussion was informative, interesting — and sometimes downright hilarious. You’ll definitely want to give it a watch.

The featured panel guests include:

• Sean D’Souza, Owner of PsychoTactics and Author
• Nathan Chan, CEO & Publisher of Foundr Magazine
• Carla Papas, Co-founder of The Merrymaker Sisters
• Karly Nimmo, Director of Killer Kopy and Host of two No.1 iTunes podcasts: Karlosophies & Keeping Good Company

They also discuss:

• Why memberships should be community driven
• How to create accountability in your members
• How to get members to share and participate more
• Using members to supplant recruitment for events
• Why membership models won’t work for everyone
• The importance of making members feel safe and comfortable
• Some ideas for keeping things fresh in your subscription service
• How to recruit quality members
