Life, Mastered with Molly Claire Starting a Podcast: An interview with Daniel Abendroth
As coaches, it is our desire to reach and help as many people as possible. Having your own podcast is absolutely one of the best and most economical ways to accomplish that. But getting started and maintaining a podcast can be daunting. How exactly does one edit and produce their own show? What kind of equipment should you use? What about editing software? Should you have written show notes?... Frankly, some of us might relish the technical stuff but others of us have absolutely no desire to deal with it. Regardless, we all want to share our expertise and release more hope and love into the world.
That’s where people like my podcast guy, Daniel Abendroth, come in. He and his wife, Michelle, own Roth Media, LLC, a podcast production company. I wanted to have him on for this episode to help guide anyone who is considering starting their own podcast or possibly looking to do less work to produce their current podcast. Among other points, Daniel and I discuss the benefits of starting a podcast, when it might be the right time to start, how you can lean into your gifts, and how consistency is key.
“For coaches, [podcasting is] an amazing tool to grow your business and connect with your audience in a whole different way… From a listener standpoint, there’s this weird intimacy. You feel like you’re sitting with a friend, chit-chatting or, like, just listening to them talk about something that they’re passionate about… It also gets them to know you… whether or not you’re the right coach for them.” – Daniel Abendroth

Daniel Abendroth is a podcaster (and along with his wife, Michelle), the owner of Roth Media, LLC, a podcast production company. Roth Media offers podcast editing, production and consultation to make their clients’ shows sound smooth and professional, while saving them time and money.
When Daniel began his podcasting journey, he wanted his ideas to reach more people. Then while creating his own show, he fell in love with podcast production and wanted to use the skills he’d developed to help others share their ideas.
Before long, Daniel discovered how very needed his expertise is. An unfortunate truth became apparent: Most new podcasters simply don’t make it. The low barrier to entry allows anybody to start a podcast but very few have the drive to keep going, and even fewer have the ability to handle everything on their own. Thus, Daniel’s passion to help coaches and solopreneurs positively impact the world through podcasts was born.
As Daniel’s journey to improve his own podcast editing skills continued, he also launched Reaper For Podcasting. The editing software, REAPER, is what Daniel uses but he discovered that the learning curve to use it for podcasting, as opposed to music editing, was pretty steep. So he created a channel to share what he’s learned so other podcasters can use REAPER more efficiently and effectively.
