Episode notes

As business owners starting our own podcast means lots of spinning plates and moving parts. In the pursuit of keeping all those plates spinning, we might forget what it means to be a professional podcaster. This conversation is entirely focused on that. 

 

In this episode you will:

  • Learn what it means to be a ‘Professional Podcaster’
  • Understand how to avoid some of the basic sound quality mistakes business owners make unconsciously 
  • Learn to look at your podcast like a radio host
  • Take a deeper look at how to feel comfortable in your own skin as a podcaster. 
  • We answer a question about how to avoid interviews that have been prescripted.
  • Rethink your strategy about getting your guest to share your podcast episode.
  • Understand how your podcast can get you access to dream business relationships.
  • Hear us talk about how to prepare really well for a meaningful interview. 
  • Learn how you could use simple communication to make sure your guest always shows up.
  • Think differently about making sure your guest is prepared for the best interview.

Psst … make sure you listen to the end … I’ll break down this episode to give you 3 small steps you can execute right now to help you take this listening experience into execution experience. Enjoy the show. 

 

After you listen to this episode I would love you to do 3 small steps that will help you be more of a professional podcaster: 

  1. Be serious about your podcast. Keep trying to be better. Commit to that. 
  2. If you haven’t got your microphone situation sorted - that's what you do first.  
  3. Make your list of in-case Sh*t happens scenarios.

 

What you pick as your strategies to grow will depend on where you are at in your business. Pick the strategy that is right for where you are at and not for where you want to be. 

 

 

These are 3 small steps that if you execute, irrespective of where you are at in your business and podcasting journey will make a huge impact on your making your podcast more profitable & more impactful.
