Show Summary:

“Health issues, whether non-communicable diseases like diabetes, cancer, or communicable diseases like the flu and bacterial infections, are often linked to gut dysbiosis – an imbalance in the digestive process within the gut. This imbalance can cause symptoms like bloating, IBS, and often, leaky gut.”

In our fast-paced entrepreneurial world, we can easily get caught up in prioritizing success over our health, unintentionally dismissing minor issues like bloating, constipation, and indigestion that could be signs of underlying gut problems.

Fortunately, my guest Kitty Martone, a gut-centric author and host of the podcast "Stuff Your Doctor Should Know," highlights the significance of gut health in this episode. Discover how your eating habits impact your gut, including the quality and quantity of the food you consume and the manner in which you eat it.

We also explore the importance of accessible healing resources and the transformative potential of podcasting for health and wellness educators and entrepreneurs.

Exceptional Highlights:

• Paying attention to how you eat is the first step to improving your gut health. Chew your food thoroughly, eat in a relaxed state, and ensure your body can efficiently digest, absorb nutrients, and eliminate waste.
• A balanced diet should have less than 30% healthy fats, including those in bone-in meats and dairy. Aim for 20-25% protein and allocate the remaining 50% for healthy carbohydrates. 
• As individuals age, their ability to produce stomach acid for digestion decreases. This is why older individuals slowly lose their appetite for solid foods and struggle with digestion.

I decided to rewatch this episode to help people who are either starting a podcast or looking to improve their podcast introduction. The goal is to help you convey your message effectively in your podcast intro without making it too lengthy. I hope you find this helpful and enjoyable!

Show Summary: “Having an intro makes your message clear right at the onset of the show when your audience presses the play button.”

In today’s episode, I talk about the value of having an introduction for your podcast. An effective intro and outro ensure that the message of your show is clear and gets across to your audience. While the background music sets the mood for the episode, the intro sets the tone. Ask yourself these questions: What do I want to promote? What do I want my audience to remember every time they listen to the show? 

There are five key elements that you must include when you create your intro. Start with the name of your show and then state your name. Third, present your promise to your audience through an elevator pitch. Fourth is your sponsor and their elevator pitch. And last and fifth element is your call-to-action (CTA). 

A compelling intro takes only one minute or less. It is concise, substantial, and engaging for the audience to listen. Don’t bore your listeners with a long and repetitive introduction since they will hear this repeatedly throughout your podcast. 

Hear the rest of the episode where I break down and analyze my intro for The PodCash Show to help guide you when you craft yours. I invite you to share this episode with your podcaster friends and family. Even if they already have an intro for their show, they are still welcome to listen and learn something new or two!

Exceptional Highlights:

• The message of your introduction must be strategic, highlighting only the essential details about you, your show, and your brand. 
• When getting a sponsor for your podcast, check that their messaging aligns with your content to have a smooth introduction flow.
• Your elevator pitch is your one-liner, impactful pitch that makes your audience remember you, your goals, and your promise for them.

Show Highlights:

 Is it okay not to have an introduction for my podcast show? Can I go straight to the episode?

2:59 

• Yes, it’s okay. It’s your choice whether to have an intro or not. However, having an intro allows you to express the message of your show right at the beginning of your episode.

What if I don’t have a sponsor yet?

5:03

• One of the reasons you’re into podcasting is to raise awareness about your business and what you do. When you’re just starting, you can make your business your initial sponsor since you’re the one producing your show anyway. 

What is the podcast introduction for The PodCash Show?
