Episode notes

You never know unless you ask. What's the worst they're going to say is no, you know, I've never heard anybody get mad being asked. So there's two ways you can go with this. Be a great reader and I am a fast reader. And I love getting free books all the time in the mail. Sometimes they show up and I haven't even asked for it. There's nothing bad about that. You get to study them, listen to a podcast episode. They've already been on. It's kind of a cheat. But one, build in reading time, whether it's in the morning or it's throughout the day or if it's inthe evening

This week I'm excited to share an episode of Social Media News Live in which my friend Jeff Seih interviewed yours truly about the process and productivity mindset for podcasting. I guess you could say these topics fall within the perfect venn diagram of two of my biggest interests. In this episode Jeff and I discuss a wide array of topics and hurdles that face anyone looking to start a podcast either for their professional career or simply as a hobby.

Topics include recruiting and working with guests, how much time per week you should spend on your podcast, how to set up and manage scheduling, and the importance of working with an editor. In addition to laying out many of the things I’ve learned in my ten years of hosting Beyond the To-Do List, Jeff and I also discuss some of the advice I would have given myself when I was just getting started!

Jeff Sieh is an international speaker and visual marketing consultant, specializing in Pinterest, visual marketing, and video. He hosts the Social Media News Live show and podcast and is also “Head Beard” at Manly Pinterest Tips. Jeff has worked with and produced visual content for various companies, including Guy Kawasaki, Kim Garst, Social Media Examiner, and Tailwind.
