REPLAY OF PODCAST THEORY LIVE 7.2.24

In podcasting, just like life, we often find ourselves focusing on too many things at once. When we do this, it spreads our bandwidth thin and we put less emphasis where it needs to be.

These overwhelming feelings are often the driving force behind those ugly words we hate to hear:

Depression.

Burnout.

Podfade.

Failure.

But let's take a moment to simplify things.

What if we just focused on ONE thing...the MAIN thing...and let everything else fall into place?

In this episode of Podcast Theory Live, I'm digging into the philosophy of focusing on one thing and making it the main thing...with a podcasting spin, of course!

Credit where credit's due: Alex Sanfilippo, Founder of PodMatch, spoke about this during his presentation at the Empowered Podcasting Conference and his point resonated very strongly with me.

No matter what your main thing is, make sure it's front and center with everything you do.

The first-ever Empowered Podcasting Conference went down June 28th thru June 30th with podcasters, creators, and livestreamers from around the world coming together in Charlotte, NC.

The event was a true testament of community and the knowledge and wisdom that was shared throughout the weekend has the podcast world buzzing.

I was part of the festivities, handling some emcee duties and moderating a panel discussion on how podcasting is becoming a better version of social media.

Now that the event is in the history books, it's time to reflect on the weekend that was.

In this installment of Podcast Theory Live, I'm sharing five of my big takeaways from the inaugural Empowered Podcasting Conference.

Discover what you may have missed if you weren't in attendance or, if you WERE in attendance, relive some of the great things that took place in Charlotte.

Ask any podcaster who's been at this for a while and, more than likely, they've experienced the story I'm telling today in some way, shape, or form.

In today's installment of Podcast Theory Live, I'm wrapping up my 5-part series of wild and crazy experiences I've had in the podcast space and this one...it's a doozy.

Well, maybe "doozy" is too strong a word...

Or a word I shouldn't be using at all because, well, it's stupid...

But I will say it's a fundamental step every podcaster needs to be aware of and, once you make the mistake once, you find a way to NEVER make it again.

Enjoy!

If you've ever been a guest on a podcast, you've more than likely been asked some questions that simply didn't jive with you.

Perhaps they made you completely uncomfortable...

Or maybe they were just plain out of bounds and the host didn't care.

Or...perhaps the host asked you THE WORST question you can get when you're a guest on a podcast because it reveals they did NO preparation for your collaboration.

In this installment of Podcast Theory Live, I'm telling the story about the time I was asked what is easily my least favorite question as a podcast guest.

If you're a host or aspire to be one, DON'T. DO. THIS.

There's an unwritten rule in podcasting that stands above the rest: Listener Experience is EVERYTHING.

If you aren't respecting the experience you provide for your listeners, chances are they won't be your listeners for long.

You only have one chance to make a good impression in this space and, as more podcasts become readily available for people to consume, that belief is even more prevalent.

In order to capture your listener's attention, you need to deliver a quality product...

A lesson I learned in a very painful way.

In this installment of Podcast Theory Live, I'm telling TWO stories where I completely neglected listener experience.

But when I went to edit the episodes, it hit me how important this aspect of podcasting truly is.

Ever had a podcast episode go viral?

Ever have that same episode piss off an entire country and start an all-out Twitter riot?

OK, maybe my viral episode didn't piss off ALL of Australia, but a certain contingent was not happy and they used Twitter to let me know...

All while the numbers behind my 5th EVER podcast recording shot through the roof! 😂

In this installment of Podcast Theory Live, it's Part 2 of 5 in my series of wild and crazy experiences I've had in my 10 years of podcasting.

Watch and listen as I share why an episode of my first-ever podcast caught fire "Down Under."

A podcast guest can add tremendous value to your show.

But if you don't set them up with the proper expectations for what you need from them...they may end up signing on to record with you while driving in rush hour traffic.

Yep, this happened to me once...and it immediately made me realize my mistake.

In this installment of Podcast Theory Live, I'm kicking off a 5-part series where I share some of the crazy stories that I've experienced in my near-decade in the podcast industry.

I'll also be sharing the lesson I learned from each of these stories.

Today's story is #1 of 5...

Starting a podcast is not an easy task, regardless of what that one "gooroo" on Instagram might have told you in some 30-second Reel.

Is it rewarding? Absolutely.

But does it also require the right mindset, a sound strategy, and an unwavering commitment to not only START a podcast, but keep things going with consistency? ABSOLUTELY.

In this episode of Podcast Theory Live, I'm breaking down my new Podcast Strategy VIP Day and sharing 10 reasons why you should consider joining me for this session if you're ready to launch a podcast OR knock the dust off and make improvements to an existing one.

One thing I wish someone would've told me when I first started podcasting: You don't know what you don't know.

And that's the guidance I want to bring to you.

Together, we will:

✅ Answer your burning questions about podcasting
✅ Dive deep into your podcast ideas
✅ Design your comprehensive podcasting strategy
✅ Build your production and marketing infrastructure
✅ Establish the proper branding for your podcast
✅ Lay out your podcast's first season and initial launch strategy
✅ Instill the right mindset to succeed at podcasting long-term

By time your VIP Day is over, you will be in a position where the only thing left to do will be to press record and bring your podcast to life!

Trying to start a podcast on your own, ESPECIALLY if you've never done it before, is a recipe for disaster.

Discover how a Podcast Strategy VIP Day will set you up for growth and success in the podcast space.
