Working Without Pants - Creative Entrepreneurship

Any great podcast is backed by a full podcast production team. From conceptualizing your strategy all the way through publishing and promoting a finished product, there are many moving parts that need to be organized.

Typically, you either outsource this work to a full service podcast production agency, or you can choose to hire individuals to build an in-house team.

Though it may be more cost effective to try and tackle this in-house, it takes a tremendous amount of time and project management skills.

In this episode of the Working Without Pants Podcast, I outline all the moving parts and people you'll need to successfully launch and maintain a podcast.

I walk through the processes, the talent, and time commitments that go into each episode and highlight why in most cases you'll be better off working with an outsourced team of podcast production experts.

As a leader, you only have so much time. And this time is best spent focussing on hosting great interviews instead of worrying about all the details that go into consistently delivering valuable content to your audience.

The biggest myth around starting a podcast is that you need to build a large following in order to be successful. Building an audience is part of the equation, but it is far from the greatest value driver of starting a podcast.

In this episode of the Working Without Pants Podcast, I describe why the number one value driver from podcasting is how it amplifies your ability to network with strategic partners, prospects, and influencers.

I discuss why it's easier than you think to get high level guests on your podcast, and how these engagements lead to lasting relationships built on trust.

I also walk through the other reasons why starting a podcast is valuable, including how it positions you as an authority, leads to speaking opportunities, allows you to repurpose your material into other social content, and generates inbound leads.

On this week's episode, I have a chat with performance-based Amazon expert Adam Weiler of Sunken Stone.

Sunken Stone is an Amazon consulting partner doing brand management services that help companies selling Amazon products to optimize their business and gain more presence.

What's interesting about Adam's business is that it runs on a performance model, which means they charge on increased new revenue. This model is quite different from cash paying marketing services, which you can hear more about in the episode 'Why selling marketing services is stupid'.
