And, after doing this for seven years, we have found a way to connect dinosaurs to any conversation.” (19:03) (Sabrina)“It doesn’t take much research to find that a T-Rex was probably a predator. It doesn’t have the types of adaptations you’d expect to see in a scavenger. It has tons of adaptations you’d expect to see in a predator. Other times, you do have to dig a little bit deeper when you’re looking for a question that isn’t as popular as T-Rex.” (31:46) (Garret)“For sponsors, that one was a lightbulb moment when we were talking to a friend who knew much more about marketing than us at the time. And we were planning on going on a road trip where there’s a lot of dinosaur museums. And she said, ‘Why don’t you ask the museums if they want to sponsor you?’” (32:57) (Sabrina)“The community is definitely both of our favorite parts. It’s the most rewarding. Some days it feels harder to get the show out and then you login to Discord or you read some of the messages people have sent and you think, ‘Yes, this is why we’re doing it. I’m ready to go.’” (37:06) (Sabrina)“I think it’s a combination of things. You’ve got more people who want to be paleontologists because of movies like Jurassic Park. But also the technology has gotten better. It’s not that easy to find a fossil but we have better tools now to excavate and prepare it and study them.” (46:01) (Sabrina)Links Mentioned:FullCast Website – https://fullcast.co/Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook Group – https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Link to Podfest Expo Virtual Summit – https://podfestexpo.com/Link to The Podosphere - https://www.thepodosphere.com/Link to Society of Vertebrate Paleontology – https://vertpaleo.org/ I Know Dino Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/iknowdino/ I Know Dino Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/iknowdino/ I Know Dino Twitter – https://twitter.com/iknowdino I Know Dino Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/iknowdino I Know Dino Tumblr – https://iknowdino.tumblr.com/ I Know Dino Pinterest – https://www.pinterest.com/iknowdino/_created/ I Know Dino TikTok – https://www.tiktok.com/@iknowdino I Know Dino LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/company/i-know-dino/ I Know Dino Audible – https://www.audible.com/pd/I-Know-Dino-The-Big-Dinosaur-Podcast-Podcast/B08K56ZVZ6 I Know Dino YouTube Channel – https://www.youtube.com/c/iknowdino I Know Dino Podcast – https://iknowdino.com/ Podcasts Mentioned: Twit: This Week In Tech – https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-tech The Skeptics Guide to the Universe – https://www.theskepticsguide.org/ 🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

So, when I interviewed a sleep doctor, he talked about how there are these different chronotypes and we’re all a different chronotype and you can sleep based on your type of biorhythm. So, if I put that in a song, more people will hear about it and more people will study his book.” (19:55) (Jack)“Ignorance is the only crime on the Earth. And if we can solve this, all the other problems will be solved.” (34:55) (Jack)“It will have this trickle-down effect because most people listening to this will just roll their eyes, but because we’re in this reincarnation cycle where, along the other realms, the membership is much higher.

Podcast is more than an audio channel. It’s more than just putting up an audio file, an mp3 file. We view it a bit differently where it’s more of a communication platform where you get video content, audio and written content all from that same genuine conversation.” (14:23) (Tristan)“The podcast community is unique in that everyone is so collaborative. I came up in the video production industry and I would say that there’s a lot of similarities there because it takes a village to put a video together. If you’re not able to work with a lot of people, it’s very difficult to get to the finish line.” (21:18) (Tristan)“The beauty of podcasting is that you’re just never done. There’s always opportunities to test new things. There are always ways to ask different questions and different ways to assemble your podcast.” (24:36) (Tristan)“For me, as a podcast consumer, I jump around all over the place. I’ll binge a show that I haven’t listened to in a while. I’ll listen to eight or ten episodes if I’m going on a long road trip or what have you. But I’m also always looking for new stuff too, a new host or a new topic.” (47:51) (Tristan)Links Mentioned:FullCast Website – https://fullcast.co/Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook Group – https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Link to Podfest Expo Virtual Summit – https://podfestexpo.com/Link to The Podosphere - https://www.thepodosphere.com/Link to SquadCast - https://squadcast.fm/Link to On Deck No Code - https://www.beondeck.com/no-codeLink to Motion - https://motionagency.io/Tristan’s LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/tristanpelligrino/Tristan’s Twitter - https://twitter.com/tpelligrinoTristan’s Podcast:Recorded Content - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recorded-content-helping-b2b-marketers-use-a/id1555122649Books Mentioned:Make Noise - https://www.amazon.com/Make-Noise-Creators-Podcasting-Storytelling/dp/1523504552/ref=asc_df_1523504552?tag=bingshoppinga-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80401880071863&hvnetw=o&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584001425728657&psc=1🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

I’m so glad that I saw firsthand how professionals walk that line of understanding that these are humans making decisions, humans are flawed and make mistakes, but at the same time they need to be reminded of the power they have and to use it responsibly.” (18:24) (Eric) “I had to do a lot of learning on the job. It was a lot of trial and error to figure out what’s the right workflow for this show and what’s the right tone and what do we need to do for a live taping and what do we have to do to get the guests booked, all the moving pieces that go into making a podcast.” (37:05) (Eric) “The idea is A, I want to make a successful show, something that I can be really proud of. But B, it’s also important for me to be out in the trenches making a show, committing to a schedule, trying new things, experimenting, learning on the job so that I can go back and use what I learned from making Follow Friday to help my consulting clients.” (45:13) (Eric) “I think the biggest thing has been learning about the rhythm of the interview, learning about the pace of everything, not rushing the guest and not talking over them.” (51:23) (Eric) Links Mentioned:FullCast Website – https://fullcast.co/Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook Group – https://www.facebook.com/groups/podcastjunkiesjunkies/Link to Podfest Expo Virtual Summit – https://podfestexpo.com/Link to Linda Holmes’ NPR Essay – https://www.npr.org/2011/06/27/137451477/you-cant-possibly-read-it-all-so-stop-trying Link to Baggage Claim Podcast – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/baggage-claim/id1543624775 Link to LightningPod – https://lightningpod.fm/ Link to Follow Friday Patreon – https://www.patreon.com/followfriday Eric’s LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/heyheyesj/ Eric’s Twitter – https://twitter.com/HeyHeyESJ Eric’s Podcast: Follow Friday – https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/follow-friday/id1549333457 Tools Mentioned: Google Drive – https://apps.apple.com/us/app/google-drive/id507874739 Asana – https://asana.com/ Trello – https://trello.com/ Evernote – https://evernote.com/ 🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

And I think if you have an objective way to measure the goal that you want, then really the in-between doesn’t matter.” (15:14) (Rob) “The biggest thing that drove me into app developing was actually two things. One, I read an article on Life Hacker that said this is our perfect to do list app. So, in my young brain I’m thinking, ‘Right, if I build this app, that’s the million dollar idea.’ I started to kinda learn app development from there. I didn’t really make a dent, but what it taught me was that I could do some of it.” (25:09) (Rob)“I approached it [Coffee & Coding] pretty much the same way that I approach my apps, which is that I build stuff that I want. So I really wanted to listen to a show that was about app development but it wasn’t technical.” (30:39) (Rob)“You want to get the best conversation from them.

It’s based on the concept that if you’re authentic to yourself and you take an intentional journey as to who you are as a leader, then you’re also going to be successful.” (00:00) (Dino)“The idea of working until I had made enough money to just do the things that I wanted to do was not a feasible plan. So I made a decision to go and start out on my own as a marketing consultant with the idea that sixty percent of my time would be dedicated to that and the other forty percent would be dedicated to managing my wife’s career as a musician, spending more time with my kids and doing the things I love doing.” (18:51) (Dino)“There’s a very important balance when you’re building a service practice, whether it’s a consulting practice or an agency. And that is that you need to sell projects where on one hand you have the ability to execute and you’re good at, but there also needs to be something new that you haven’t done because that’s how you build the capabilities of the firm.” (24:39) (Dino)“I felt that a podcast was essentially the place where I could be my true self and just create the podcast and share the content to really express what I believe about how leadership works and operates.” (30:47) (Dino)“The Arts are a really difficult world from a success standpoint. And the people who end up staying for the duration are the people that are rewarded by the creative process.” (46:26) (Dino)“Somebody recently said, ‘People who invest money to save time have a longer career in business than people who invest time to save money.’” (53:12) (Dino)RESOURCES MENTIONEDFullCast WebsitePodcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupLink to Podfest Expo Virtual SummitDino’s LinkedInDino’s EmailDino’s InstagramDino’s TwitterLink to Susan Cattaneo’s WebsiteLink to Who, Not HowAuthentic Leadership for Everyday People Website🎙️🎙️🎙️Podcast Production and Marketing provided by FullCast

I loved how impactful it could be right away. I loved how messy it could be and I loved what marketing meant at a startup.” (12:42) (Anna)“Being strategic, being more focused, I knew that I wanted to do that right away. So, for me, for my business it was figuring out who is my target buyer, what do they care about, what problems do they have? And I’m kind of close to that already because I am a Marketer at a startup.” (18:27) (Anna)“The most important thing for content creation and creating awareness around your business or product is finding out what your target audience cares about, what is the actual content your gonna give them and what channels.” (24:18) (Anna)“I wish I had access to a network of people that work in startups and are in marketing soI could ask them questions.

My department became the poster child for the entire company. And it was right around the time when I was on top that I thought I want to share with other folks outside of the fitness industry what it is that I learned inside these clubs.” (26:44) (Todd)“I think that, as always, in every market different gets attention. Better doesn’t always get attention. Different gets attention.” (31:25) (Todd)“The heart and soul of marketing is ultimately when you turn a prospect’s desire for a result, for an outcome, for a change, for a transformation, into demand for your product or service before you even talk about your product or service.” (36:40) (Todd)“When I teach, when I coach, when I guide I always tell people, ‘I’m gonna treat your business like it’s my own.

The performer’s nightmare - one of them. And so I was sort of casting around for a new idea for a podcast and these videos of Mat’s kind of tipped me over to this notion of creativity.” (23:50) (Bill)“I’m a performer. I’m a maker. I’m a writer. But at heart, all of this is based around the fact that I am a circus act. I am a variety performer. I do tricks. My hands can do things. So, it’s easy to therefore think that that’s the one thing that I’m good at, doing tricks.” (27:07) (Mat)“It’s been such a weird eighteen months. It really has in all sorts of ways. And one of the things we talk about is the ways in which a species level event affects everything, by definition. One of the new relationships that I formed during this period has been with Mat who, I’ll say again, I have never met face-to-face.” (32:23) (Bill)“The time when the Arts are interesting and are moving to people is when you can be honest, you can be authentic and you can be presenting as close to the real you as you can.

I’m a people person.” (26:08)“I’m talking about just being able to do this as a show, have advertisers and make it a stable show. Will it ever be that way? I don’t know. But, what drives me is just the collaboration with other podcasters. I want to be involved in the podcasting community as much as I can.” (31:51)“I love talking to people. It’s literally a creative outlet for me and I just love doing it. I love talking to all these people. It’s so much more than just getting somebody famous on.

But I think the pandemic, like for all of us, changed everybody’s values. So, I want to spend the next half of my career teaching people the lessons that I’ve learned.” (11:27)“All that matters is our relationships and helping each other. That’s all that matters.” (19:51)“Instead of net fishing, you should be spear fishing. How do you create the most successful podcast with the fewest number of listeners?” (31:59)“Leadership is a broad category. Leadership is culture. Leadership is sales. Leadership is profit. Leadership is customers. Leadership is marketing. Leadership is brand.” (34:27)“I also just think there’s two types of mindsets, a scarce mindset and an abundance mindset. I just do not believe that the podcast I host is smaller because you host your podcast.” (37:57)“I do not like to kick people when they’re down. If someone deserves to be kicked, I’ll call them up and kick them. And I won’t tell you that I kicked them. Or I won’t vote for them. But I generally believe that if someone is coming on my podcast, my job is to give them a platform where they can share what it is they’re talking about. I’m not a journalist, I’m a podcast host.” (47:10)“You learn, as a podcast host, bruise hard, heal fast. You cannot serve all people all the time.” (50:41)“Storytelling is such a valuable skill for CEOs, for CFOs. What is our story? Where are we going? How are you part of that? What is the antagonist? How can you be part of the solution? What does success look like? What does it feel like?

And that was when it started clicking with me the connection you could still feel with a podcast audience if you are listening. Then when the opportunity came up for a podcasting company I thought this is something that would be really interesting.” (11:54)“There was a period where we [Buzzsprout] outranked Spotify for how to get a podcast on Spotify.” (18:17)“Almost everything we’ve ever done is we want to make it easier for people who are starting because the bet we were putting on podcasting was that it was gonna grow.” (20:46)“That’s what the Podcasting Index is trying to do now is help bring multiple hosts together, multiple apps together, listeners, everybody in the ecosystem.” (41:09)“Podcasts are much, much, much harder to grow than any other media type that I’ve ever engaged with.” (46:51)“Over the past seven years of being involved in this space, I’m becoming more and more optimistic that the content creators will prevail.” (54:49)THANK YOU SPONSORS!FocusriteFullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupLink to Podfest Expo Virtual SummitAlban’s LinkedInBuzzsprout WebsiteLink to PodclockAlban’s Twitter🎧Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

What I mean by that is every country I go to, I’m able to just sit on a bus, on a train, in a coffee shop, and the words around me aren’t words that I’m used to hearing. And, to me, to be able to disappear into that strangeness is great.” (07:56)“I have always tried to be cognizant of the fact that I may have the knowledge and the skills, but I don’t have the only way to do things. So I always like to learn from a generation or two or three below me. The way you’re doing things is the way things will be done. What I’m doing now is going to fade away and I get that. So, I’ve always tried to be open to doing things the new generation’s way.” (22:23)“For all the new podcast listeners out there, my ten minute long episode takes me three and a half hours to produce.” (35:12)“Comedians, their delivery is the greatest thing. It’s all about timing and building anticipation. So, when I am in presentation mode, you get a very different Evo than you’re getting right here. When I’m performing, I role back onto those people who are true performers.” (44:58)“Being able to generate content that is specific to you, where you are, or things important in your life that comes in different than things that are important to me, that’s pretty cool.” (52:30)THANK YOU SPONSORS!FocusriteFullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupEvo’s LinkedInEvo’s WebsiteSimpler Media WebsitePodcast Pontifications WebsiteEvo’s PodcastEvo’s TwitterEvo’s First Visit to Podcast JunkiesPodcast Index NewPodcastApps Spotify’s Release Radar Playlist🎧Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

To some extent, we’re all influencers to somebody else and people are listening to us. And if people are listening to what we have to say and if you’re spouting this stuff that’s garbage and not realistic, you can influence somebody to make a poor decision in their life.” (07:42)“We want to be thought of and associated as a premier content creator.” (18:57)“We believe very heavily that private podcasting is the future of where our company is going and, I think, a big part of the industry is expanding to.” (24:05)“If you know the value of yourself and the show and the people that you’re approaching about sponsorship, you’ll have a much easier job of selling sponsorship.” (32:01)“With the background at Podcast Motor, we’ve been working with content creators a lot. One of the simple things we’ve done is brought on a producer in-house. We’ve become a small professional services arm that does editing and production. And now we have a creative person that works with customers and that’s the person who’s creating the show for us.” (32:55)“That’s one of the coolest things about this space is that so many people are willing to hop on a call just to chat and help you with things.” (42:33)THANK YOU SPONSORS!FocusriteFullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupLink to Podfest Expo Virtual SummitCraig’s LinkedInCraig’s EmailCraig’s Website Castos’ WebsiteCraig’s PodcastLink to The Nomadic EntrepreneurLink to Steve Pratt’s LinkedInLink to 3 Clips PodcastLink to Audience PodcastLink to Zapier🎧Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

I just enjoyed the act of doing that, learning something new, always being challenged.” (07:24)“That’s what made me decide to start a podcast. It was the side hustle to kind of scratch that itch of doing something that I felt that I was actually creating in real-time and could leave an impact with.” (14:19)“I look back now and I think what I love the most about it was the process of finding the guest, recording, editing, finding out the business side of it. I can even remember registering for an LLC and thoroughly enjoying it. Sure I was just starting a podcast, but I was starting a business. That was a practice for what my future was gonna look like.” (18:00)“I’m surprised how many people still don’t understand podcasting. One out of three people I tell don’t know what a podcast is or have never listened to one.” (30:50)“For me it all stems back to my faith. I’m really driven by that and it’s the most important thing in my life.” (35:07)“I take everyone really seriously because it’s the way I’d want to be treated.

What I wanted to learn from a mentor twenty odd years ago is quite different from what I want to learn today. It’s the nuanced, it’s the subtly of the behavior or the skill that you want to practice and learn from.” (09:23)“Failure isn’t about disaster. Failure is about learning and picking yourself up and making sure you don’t make the same mistake twice.” (16:19)“I quite like to not necessarily give my sole attention to the podcast when I’m having that experience. But I think there’s something really important about movement. Listening and movement is a really potent combination, I find.” (22:28)“Neuro being your brain, your mind, linguistic being the language you’re speaking, and the programming is how are you programming the language you’re using. I also then think about this idea of modeling excellence. So, if I see somebody that’s really great at a particular skill or behaving in a particular way, there’s a whole series of questions that help to uncover what it is they’re doing, often unconsciously.” (24:50)“I think that’s what podcast hosts can also do is to be able to help the guest get out of their own way and uncover some new insight and thinking. And that’s where those value-added moments will appear in the podcast.” (32:03)“The boundary gives you focus and it gives you intention to say, ‘in these episodes, this is the attention we’re trying to achieve here.’ And that’s how coaching works.” (37:48)THANK YOU SPONSORS!FocusriteFullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupLink to Podfest Expo Virtual SummitSue’s LinkedInSue’s WebsiteAccess to Inspiration WebsiteSue’s TwitterSue’s Facebook Sue’s PodcastLink to The Famous Five Book SeriesLink to The Secret Seven Book SeriesLink to Desert Island Discs PodcastLink to Access to Inspiration Podcast Episode featuring Astronaut John David BartoeClubhouseLink to Bunches🎧Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

There’s so many interesting and exciting ways to tell a story in the first place.” (09:50)“I spent a long time in the world of creating movements, which led me down this road of kinda seeing firsthand how the world has lost empathy through the lens of online movements. That’s really become obvious in the world in the last year or two.” (23:16)“Conversations is the only tool we have, short of killing each other, to be perfectly blunt. And if we don’t. And our toolset for conversation has expanded. I would venture to guess that there’s an exponential six month over six month increase in the amount of nuance that has to go into a particular public conversation.” (27:50)“I think there’s something really powerful about making external the internal experience.” (33:17)“I’m obsessed with that moment of people experiencing what you put into the world.” (40:27)“Most stories that people have about travel come from this idea of ‘went somewhere, found myself in a bad position and somebody saved my ass.’ That’s generally the through line.

There’s such a strong bond and shield that people put around their family members which I find to be very interesting.” (16:57)“I love the banter between two people. I love two people having a discussion because I feel like someone can bring something out of you that you might not necessarily say on the microphone if you’re by yourself.” (21:56)“For me, having a travel podcast I made it a point that this is not going to discourage me. I’m gonna find a way to keep putting out content. I’m gonna keep making episodes. I don’t want to beat the COVID thing to death. I have just been trying to think about traveling in different ways.” (32:20)“When I listen to a podcast where two people are talking, I want to feel like I’m in the same room as them and I want to feel like I’m a part of the conversation.” (43:10)THANK YOU SPONSORS!FocusriteFullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupLink to Podfest Expo Virtual SummitJarika’s LinkedInJarika’s PodcastBlackpacking InstagramBlackpacking YouTube Channel Blackpacking Twitter🎧Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

I want to be informed. But I also don’t want to spend hours upon hours, because everything you put out there you have a responsibility for the energy you put out into the world. And so if you put something into the world that fuels fear, anxiety, hate, that impacts people. So, I have become more intentional, more selective of curating my own feeds.” (24:58)“I think there’s value in the intimacy of being with someone in their ears on a long drive or walk.” (26:39)“What I learned at Oprah is before you pitch any interview, before you begin any interview, before you have an idea, you stop and you ask yourself, ‘What is my intention?’” (35:41)“We tell very high-stakes stories with really strong beginnings, middles and ends. And, most importantly, is that there is wisdom extracted on the other end. People often go through incredibly messy things and find a new meaning or perspective on the other end.” (43:24)“Our guests are categorically brave because they share hard truths. They talk about things that are hard with the right intention, which is to be of service to others.” (52:25)“Some of us have truths that we hide.

You have to make them yourself.” (10:00)“I don’t form relationships with people because of their resume of because of the chair that they’re sitting in because I know all of that can change. I really look to connect with people.” (12:45)“Television? That’s not the stakes. Making these deadlines? That’s not the stakes. The stakes are real relationships, who you choose to spend your life with and how you choose to spend it. And the fact that with a podcast that I make right here from my house I can change people’s lives like that? Why wouldn’t everyone be podcasting?” (20:19)“When you’re making content, you’re part of something bigger. And it’s not just about being on the mic or being the face of whatever the production is. It’s about being a part of the whole and making something together.” (23:15)“If you are interested in growth, it sure as hell matters what Apple Podcasts thinks of your show.” (36:19)“That is honestly one of the biggest gifts that podcasting has given me is improving my listening ability.” (44:54)“That’s the other amazing thing about podcasting.

And I think that Austin is hot on everybody’s list.” (07:53) “I think that podcasting can help a lot of that. I think that can be the neat aspect of it where we’re gonna be able to see different ways that these business owners recovered or even just tell their story.” (11:49) “I think that kids are ultimately resilient, but I think that we’re gonna see a big impact. I think these kids are going to grow up differently from how we grew up and I think it’s on us to make sure that we make space to help them.” (14:29) “I think that there’s a lot of value in his [Tim Ferriss’] content and I think he’s done a lot for the podcasting space.

I would always push for other ways to go about it. Don’t just throw a banner there. Really be aware of your customer and make sure you aren’t alienating them. It was a natural fit into podcasting.” (41:50) “The niche is the really interesting part. I don’t want to hear anybody else’s opinions about something that’s broad that I can get from places that are respected and well developed.

And that’s a huge innovation that was now made available to everyone whereas before that you’d have to ask your guest to record it on their side. Now it’s much more seamless.” (37:14) “I think of it [Clubhouse] as a podcaster’s playground. We already know we love audio. So to be able to connect to people through audio, there’s really an authenticity to that.” (45:51) “I love the social impact space.

It’s just the interview, which was my favorite part of journalism and the part I think I excelled at the best.” (22:03) “I’m more methodical now about how I make my decisions. I say, ‘No’ more. I say ‘Yes’ to things that matter and, ‘No’ to everything else.” (24:39) “Interviewing was easy; getting guests was no problem. I think just the technical part of launching and all the little things you have to do I was a little blown away by. And then also letting go. You were really good at coaching me to just put it out there even if it isn’t perfect.” (25:28) “We’ve lost our collective sense of humor as a country. Laughter is really important medicine along with nutrition and sleep which is what I’m exploring in this new show.” (33:59) “For my health show, I’ve identified what do I eat, what do I drink, what do I wear, what do I like, what brings me joy?

The traditional textbook definition is someone who has learned and is interested in many different areas. And that means a deep level of knowledge.” (11:49)“When I find people to interview, the thing I look for is if they’re multidisciplinary. So, if they have a main specialty and they’re a specialist – even a hyper specialist – they’re bound to have some sort of hobby or maybe they’re a podcaster like us.” (18:09)“One of my main endeavors right now is trying to get this idea of a multidisciplinary spectrum out there.” (22:22)“I would honestly say I have often gotten a lot of existential crises. And it’s hard to deal with those, especially when they hit you hard.” (33:59)“First and foremost, I love learning. And since I couldn’t find a college that I wanted to go to, I pursued my own education and self-development.” (38:03)“Being a polymath individually is gonna have a lot of different topics.

I thought to myself, this the direction I should go now.” (12:31) “I very much want to make sure that, when I create a piece of content, you do the hard work once and then you repurpose it and make it work hard for you.” (14:27) “Facilitating introductions is a huge part of what I have found to be great networking.” (20:06) “There is a consequence for working eighty hours a week, grinding it out, living in your car, never seeing your family, never working out, only eating junk food and never really taking care of your mental, physical or emotional health.” (27:11) “Self-care is about managing my nervous system. I’ve got to manage my nervous system because if I don’t my brain cannot function.” (31:38) “Right now, with all that’s going on with the world, we need to take the pressure off. And if you can afford to hire some help, it’s totally worth it.” (41:55) “The research shows COVID-19 disproportionately has affected women – working moms in particular.” (43:44) “I figure if Guy Raz can republish episodes of How I Built This then I can too.” (1:00:17)THANK YOU SPONSORS!Focusrite FullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupPodfest Expo Virtual SummitLunch ClubVoxerClubhouseShe Podcasts LiveRacheal’s Plan Your Best Year Ever ChallengeThe CEO CollectiveRacheal’s PodcastFired Up & Focused WebsiteRacheal’s WebsiteRacheal’s Books: Your Business Sweet SpotFired Up & FocusedRacheal’s LinkedInRacheal’s InstagramRacheal’s TwitterRacheal’s FacebookRacheal’s Pinterest🎧Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

I started Diabetes Connections in the summer of 2015 because – like a lot of people who listen to podcasts – I realized that the one I wanted didn’t exist and I had to create it myself.” (13:28) “When you’re in radio and television, crazy funny things happen, and you just go with it.” (20:10) “One of the philosophies I brought over from radio was put your listeners first. Just put your listeners first in any decision you’re trying to make and the decisions will be extremely easy. And that helps me along the way.” (26:36) “I had about 125 listeners per episode after four weeks. But I knew that those were very valuable listeners because they’re older, they have a lot of money and they want to spend it.” (38:28) “I would like to do a talk or be on a panel about selling your show without selling your soul. I think above board ethics help you, help your show and help your listeners.” (45:11) “One place that I’ve grown is in really letting my interviewees breath. I’m less afraid of silence than I was in the beginning.” (49:51) “It’s one of the wonderful things about podcasting in that you really can be less than perfect if you’re trying and you’re genuine and you’re open.” (54:38) THANK YOU SPONSORS!Focusrite FullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupPodfest Expo Virtual SummitStacey’s PodcastDiabetes Connections WebsiteStacey’s Books: The World’s Worst Diabetes MomI Can’t Cook, But I Know Someone Who CanStacey’s InstagramDiabetes Connections TwitterDiabetes Connections FacebookDiabetes Connections YouTube ChannelChris Snider’s Mark All That Apply PodcastShe Podcasts Live WebsiteDexcom Website🎧Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast

You either have that in you or you do not.” (25:03)“I have fans in South Korea and all over Africa. I have fans from Story Worthy so this is exciting in a way. To take something away from the pandemic is our ability to stay in touch and how small the world really is.” (30:09)“People that have ingenuity are able to rise up.” (32:30)“I would say the most important thing is to focus. You should already be focused when you’re podcasting anyway. And since they see you, clear up your background. Be normal, be professional.

You can build a business on the Internet by using your own skills. And, this pandemic has made a lot of people think that way and start wondering, ‘How can I take advantage of it?’” (08:19)“And that’s fun. It’s fun to be with people who are constantly saying, ‘Well, what if tried this?’ We’ll give anything a shot once and I think that, in this space, it’s a really fun place to be in for sure.” (10:58)“One of the things that we always preach is, ‘You have to maximize your content. You need to be smart about how you use your content because there’s only one of you – there’s only twenty-four hours in the day – so you can’t be constantly creating.” (14:16)“I think if you’re a content creator of any type, if you’re a podcaster, you should always listen to what your audience wants. They are the commodity. They’re the ones who are gonna help you be better.” (22:08)“If you build that community, and you listen to them and you give them content they want, they will follow you through all different iterations of your career.” (24:35)“People are busy. People are trying to cut back on their social media. Everyone’s on a different time schedule. If you’re only sharing something one time – whether it’s your newest podcast episode or a sale that you’re having – you’re really doing yourself a disservice.” (32:30)“My advice to everyone is use ten to twenty minutes to go into social media and actually engage with your audience.” (37:08)“I just think audio as a medium is becoming more mainstream.

And sometimes you don’t really want your problems to be simplified.” (14:20)“I would call myself a fairly early podcast junkie.

I think it’s just one of those things where you don’t really know you have a voice until you’re already there.” (17:04)“I love to talk to anyone who’s making a living in podcasting. Ya know what I mean? It can be hard out there, as they say.” (33:49)“There’s also that insecurity of, ‘Will people subscribe to another newsletter or will people be interested in whatever work I produce next?’ I still don’t know the answer to that question, but I’d feel pretty lame if I didn’t at least try.” (43:47)“This is what podcasts do. They let you be a fly on the wall on some conversation that maybe you could never have and learn something.” (53:34)“I keep thinking that I am alive exactly when I want to be alive. This is an incredible time. Lots of it is tumultuous and sorrowful and painful, but it is fascinating and I’m glad to be here. I’m glad to be part of the generation that is experiencing this because hopefully good will come.” (56:56)THANK YOU SPONSORS!Focusrite FullCastLINKS MENTIONED*FullCast Website *Podcast Junkies Junkies Facebook GroupSkye’s LinkedInSkye’s TwitterSkye’s Website Skye’s Podcasts: Inside PodcastingHeavyweight PodcastPodcast Business JournalFuture Thinkers PodcastThe Bulwark PodcastLink to the book AbundanceLink to Podcast Newsletters:Hot PodBello CollectivePodcast The Newsletter🎧Podcast Production & Marketing by FullCast
