In this episode, I'm sharing an insight from my recent "What Are You Creating?" podcast interview with Charlie Birney, founder of Podville, a successful podcast media production company. This conversation with Charlie was inspired by my work with two coaching clients interested in starting podcast production businesses. When helping people in the early stages of a business dream, I introduce role modeling—finding successful people already doing what you want to do and studying them closely. By learning about their business models, marketing strategies, and offerings, you gain priceless insights and inspiration for your own path.. During our conversation, Charlie shared a compelling story about a former employee who asked how long he planed to stay in contact with those who had declined his company's services. Charlie's response was simple but profound: he never removes people from his Rolodex because he believes in nurturing relationships for the long term. After listening to this episode, I encourage you to take a moment to reflect on your relationships. Think about those friends from school or past clients you've lost touch with over the years. Make a list of 10–15 names and reach out to 1–4 of them for a 30-minute catch-up call. Remember, the goal isn't to sell anything—it's simply to reconnect and keep those relationships alive. Additionally, consider implementing a system, like a CRM or relationship manager, to help you stay on top of your connections and schedule regular follow-ups. Maintaining relationships should be a core part of your personal and professional success strategy.
Author Charlie Birney, Chief Listening Officer at his company, Podville Media in Washington, DC, wrote his new book The Tao of Podcasting: An Interpretation of the Tao Te Ching, as a meditation on the purpose of podcasting. Charlie shares how the book serves as a guide to growth and transformation that can be directly applicable to podcasting. Written in lovely verse and illustrated by Charlie's own delightful sketches, The Tao of Podcasting shows how podcast production creates memorable stories by remembering the ancient art of listening, deepening the silence before the sound, combining stillness and fluidity, developing auditory wisdom, engaged listening, and talking forward, and reigniting your passion for podcastingIn addition to writing this creative gem, Charlie co-founded Podville Media and produces a wide range of audio and video for a diverse range of clients. He also shares what he calls "Internal Facing Podcasts" which are podcasts not so much looking for growth and monetization, but instead trying to increase communication inside an organization.And some big news. Charlie is preparing to start podcasting again! His new venture will be called "The Philosophy of Podcasting." Stay tuned!Thanks for listening to Speaking of Travel!

Podville Media began as Podcast Village, in a co-working office in Gaithersburg, Maryland. I had loved public speaking and acting in school and was tremendously excited about podcasting and what it could mean for communications and storytelling. As a result of my early experience, I am co-author of “Podcasting Made Simple” (on Amazon, but largely outdated due to software and hardware developments. However you can see my early podcast sketches in the book!).Prior to Podville Media, I spent over 25 years in the DC/MD/VA commercial real estate market, most notably as a team member for planning, permitting, building and managing the two courses at Queenstown Harbor Golf, on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Additionally, I served as president of both the Maryland Tourism Council and the National Golf Course Owner's Association. Podville has been up and sprinting now for over five years, and in 2023 we won three Tellys (the Tellys are in their 44th year) and have a show, Rap Stories, in the number one spot on Apple for podcasts in the music category.

Are you, your nonprofit, and the community you serve being seen and heard? What if you could communicate the story of your nonprofit, the inequitable conditions you tackle, the public policies you advocate and your solutions for uplifting people and communities? In this episode of Power Station, I am joined by Oscar Zeballos, CEO of Podville Media, a fellow podcasting evangelizer whose partnership with co-founder Charlie Birney provides a dynamic stage for diverse voices, from ESPN to the Leadership Conference on Civil and Human Rights to the White House Historical Association. Just before recording I participated on a panel session moderated by Oscar as part of Solutions for Housing Communications, a National Housing Conference event. Oscar conveyed the myriad ways that content generated by our audience of communications professionals can influence decision makers across an evolving media landscape. We carried our passion for purposeful communications into Podville Media's Studio C where I pressed nonprofit and foundation executives to support podcasting and other creative messaging tools. Oscar gave a glimpse into new technology that uncovers where podcasts are making an impact. What is the story you want to tell?

Today we are talking with Charlie Birney of Podcast Village. Charlie isn’t a member of Select, but if you heard the last episode, which was our anniversary episode, I mentioned Charlie and how we connected. Through podcasting, we have built a great friendship and support each other’s businesses.I bring my business and marketing skills to the mix and he brings the technical pieces of recording and editing to the table. If I never had to research equipment or edit another episode, I’d be extremely happy, yet that’s at the core of his business, so we compliment each other from a business perspective. If you follow me on FB you’ll see several pictures of me recording in his studio. In episode 12 with Adam Solomon and episode 23 with Becky Briggs, we were recording in the studios of podcast Village. Recently I was in his studio doing a video recording of how to use a piece of podcast recording equipment. So in addition to recording podcasts, Podcast Village is also offering video production and they are knocking it out of the park. Check out their video’s on youtube which I’ve linked to in the show notes. Check out their youtube channel here. In my conversation with Charlie, we talk about the business of having a podcast studio, how the idea evolved and then turning an opportunity into a business. This is music to my ears because I love talking about business and I’m all about podcasting these days. If you are a salesperson, sales manager, business owner or someone responsible for business development in your organization, I’ve put together something unique for you that I’ll discuss at the end of this show, so be sure to stick around after our conversation ends. Charlie is going through the school of hard knocks. He took an idea, started a business and is learning how to run the business along the way. It’s not always easy, but if you love what you do and you surround yourself with knowledgeable people, you will make it work! I love Charlie’s enthusiasm and like me, he’s an idea person! Our conversation goes in many directions, but three important areas we discuss are The importance of setting up procedures from the beginning Not working for free And paying attention to your time management This conversation isn’t just about running a business, but about podcasts and the value they bring. At one point we start talking about a conference that we both attended in early 2017 where I mention some statistics about podcasting. I’m attaching a few of the slides in the shownotes, so if you would like to see them go to selectbizteam.com/podcastvillage. Definitely good information particularly for someone that might be thinking about adding a podcast as a sales tool! Before we get started, I’d like to ask that you go to iTunes and leave us a review.

BUSINESS AND MARKETING 1st ANNIVERSARY EPISODE Thank you for joining us today for episode 25 of the Select Business Team podcast. I’m so exicted about this episode because it marks the 1st year of creating this podcast. Select Business Team brings business professionals together to discuss options for growing and expanding business with a focus on marketing, leadership and revenue and our podcast provides conversations with business owners on similar topics. Since today is our 1st anniversary, we are celebrating and this episode is packed full of information to help you, the business professional. The overall theme is lessons I’ve learned from this first year of production, but there are several valuable ideas that I share as I’m talking. The first few minutes you’ll hear me thank a few people that stepped up to the plate to really help this podcast get started, then the real nuggets begin. In addition to thanking a few people, I also share with your my personal insights about this journey. If you are looking for marketing ideas, keep listening, because you'll hear several. Here’s a little bit of what you can expect: Challenges people have being interviewed on an podcast Time management issues of creating a podcast What’s in the analytics - can you guess what country gets more listens than my own state? The bigger vision for podcasts At the very end I'll mention a new program I'm launching called Next Level Referrals. If you want to build a solid referral business, it's worth listening to the end and getting the details! Lets get this 1st anniversary episode started. It’s hard to believe that it has been 12 months since we launched the podcast for Select Business Team. Today I want to share my appreciation for those that have made this journey possible and talk about a few lessons learned along the way. It has been such an interesting experience, but in reality, this might not have ever started if it wasn’t for two very special people. You see, I had been thinking about a podcast for a long time. I tried to recruit my son to help me but he wasn’t interested. Then one day I was talking to Ben Piper, who is the owner of Commonwealth Consulting Group and an SBT member. Somehow we got on the subject of podcasts and he said he had one. Truly I was in awe and he could see my excitement. He volunteered to show me how to get started. Otherwise, I might still be talking about it and not taken action! Initially, I was intimidated, but after hours of research, it wasn’t as hard as I thought. The hardest part is making time, which I’ll talk about shortly. Shortly after showing me the equipment, Ben told me about a meetup group for podcasters and encouraged me to attend. That’s where I met Charlie Birney of Podcast Village who has been a true inspiration for me. He’s got a heart of gold and is always sharing his knowledge and offers his studio at a discount to members of meetup. I’ve done a lot of recordings at his studio and we share ideas regularly. You’ll hear him on an upcoming episode. Again, a big thanks to Ben and Charlie for helping me get started and bringing this podcast vision to life. THANK YOU One other person that I’d like to thank is Rick Becker. He’s someone I went to high school with and while we didn’t really know each other then, we reconnected through a mutual friend and he’s become my running partner. He’s got a great voice and after a lot of convincing, he agreed to do the intro for my podcast. When we recorded the intro, I truly didn’t have any idea what I was doing. I didn’t know about voice levels and how to set the microphone on the recording software. We did several ‘takes’ and thanks to my amazing editor Evan, we have an intro that I love! So thanks Rick, and to his wife Susie for putting up with me and Evan for all of your hard work. When I first launched the podcast, the plan was to interview members of Select Business Team and use the podcast as a mem...
