He identified podcasts as a platform for performers to excel and achieve success.
In this episode Spencer Carpenter dives deep into the world of podcasting and the process of choosing guests. As an expert in the field, Spencer evaluates potential guests based on their profile and social media presence, placing a priority on those with a large audience on platforms like TikTok, Instagram, or LinkedIn. However, he questions the engagement on LinkedIn. Spencer shares that he looks for guests who are doing something interesting or have a unique story to tell, rather than those who focus on generic topics like coaching coaches. He emphasizes the importance of guests who can add value or be interesting to the audience. One interesting aspect Spencer discusses is his ability to spot fake followers and misleading claims, particularly in the author space. Lastly, Spencer provides practical advice for finding the right podcasts to appear on, stressing the importance of looking for hosts with experience in giving interviews.
