Your Podcast Coach

The EXTERNAL Stuff.

As entrepreneurs, we procrastinate. When it comes to starting a podcast, I see this A LOT. The first part (of this two-part series) is all about getting through the external stuff that is keeping you from starting your podcast. Equipment, editing, publishing...you have plenty of ways to help you with this!

Thanks for listening and joining me on this 30 Day Podcast Challenge!

This is episode is a FIRST...

I woke up, grabbed a cup of coffee, my Zoom portable recorder and one of my Shure mics and walked out to my front porch to record. The first words I spoke this morning to anyone...were into this microphone!

I wanted to do this episode because I've never done this before, but it serves to remind that no matter what your subject matter is, you can do anything YOU WANT with your podcast. It's YOUR PODCAST!

As I shared, my life shifted when in 2012 when I saw the future of audio storytelling start to take shape. Podcasts were native on all iPhones and the medium was growing. In 2014, I made the leap to be a podcast coach and begin my life as an entrepreneur.

And what I dreamed would be a life of non-corporate, easygoing, money-making riches, turned out to be hard, lonely and extremely humbling. And it was AMAZING!!!!!

Thanks for joining me on this journey!

Picking up where I left off yesterday, I told you that two HUGE events happened in 2012 for my career and podcasts.

This episode I reveal one of the biggest single events EVER in the history of podcasts, and how it changed the medium forever...and thus changed my career forever.

What's worse than being in a job you hate? Being in a job you love, that is approaching an end.

This was happening to me in 2008-2011 as radio was consolidating and firing thousands of talented people. This once great industry...was dying.

While radio was starting to shrink and become less compelling, two significant things happened in 2012, that shaped podcasting forever, and my career.

Yay! I made it a week on this 30 Day Podcast Challenge! I received a very special email from a woman about what it means to have your voice heard. And is inspired to find her voice even more.

 As well, I introduce you to a concept I use for many of my clients - the 7 minute episode. And how doing a 7-minute episode from time to time, can help keep you focused on editing your normal episodes.

Thanks for listening to these 7 minutes!

In the world of media, there are so many ways to share our story. Yes, I focus on the world of podcasts and creating compelling stories through audio, but for some it's YouTube, and others it might be blogging. Bottom line...it's all about PUBLISHING. 

Publishing a podcast every day for 30 days is a great way to get in the habit of sharing your story, breaking down barriers and finding your voice.

When I started out on my journey, to inspire, entertain and empower through spoken word (by being a radio DJ), it was an almost impossible task.

Because every radio station had a Gatekeeper.

This person's main job was putting the best people on the radio. And ONLY THE BEST. So everyone else never got a chance to share their story through audio.

But now...the Gatekeeper is gone. And EVERYONE CAN DO A PODCAST!
