KEY TAKEAWAYS
- Niche down your podcast topic to become the go-to resource in your field and attract a highly engaged audience
- Don't be afraid of cold outreach when seeking guests; many will be flattered to be asked and happy to share their expertise
- Create a process with checklists to stay organised and avoid content decline
- Focus on putting out quality content consistently rather than obsessing over download numbers
- Subtly showcase your expertise and offerings through client stories and examples rather than overt self-promotion
- Consider repurposing content from guest appearances on other shows to highlight your own background and credibility
BEST MOMENTS
"What's the worst that could happen? You put a podcast out and nobody listens. So what? There's no biggie."
"As long as it's trending in the right direction, I think that's the key learning is, you know, you can't guarantee the numbers you're going to get based just on the guest. It's to do with the content, it's to do with people sharing it."
"I've still got people, I can look at stats, and I've got people downloading the first ever episode still."
"If I'm at a networking event and I'm talking about being a business sounding board, I go, 'Oh, I know you, I've listened to your podcast,' etc. etc. So I think it's a common issue with people that are interview podcasts where you're always talking about the guest is you don't get time to talk about yourself, but there's also nothing worse than an interviewer that only wants to talk about himself."
