Podcast appearances and mentions of cliff ravenscraft

In this quick episode, I share what has been going on with the podcast and why I haven't been uploading. The truth is, that I am taking a step back from the show. I explain why and what comes next. Part of the episode is me reading off a post that I wrote, which you can read below. ------ I think it's time to let go of my podcast. Episode 1 of the Hardcore Self Help Podcast aired on 3/16/2016. Nearly 450 episodes later, I think it might be time to let it go. When I began the show, podcasting wasn't cool. This was before Huberman Lab and Diary of a CEO. This is before every influencer had their own podcast. I certainly wasn't one of the first podcasts, but I was in the cohort of podcasters that were influenced by Pat Flynn, Cliff Ravenscraft, and Daniel J. Lewis. Podcasts were the up and coming way to generate an audience and scale your craft. For me, this was a way to bring mental health content to the masses. In 2014, I released my first book, Hardcore Self Help: F**k Anxiety. I wrote this during my pre-doctoral internship at Kaiser Permanente in San Diego. The book was written and published in a matter of a couple weeks, driven by my frustrations with the mental health field following my wife's hospitalization (more about that in my TedX talk). Since the market was not yet saturated with potty-mouth self-help books, it was a hit and quickly became my primary source of income. With the popularity of the book came emails and direct messages asking me questions. As someone who was working toward becoming licensed as a psychologist, it was important that I didn't give out direct advice to people in a private forum unless I had an established care relationship with the person. That's when I realized I could make my childhood dreams of having a newspaper advice column come true by starting a podcast. Truthfully, this was not my first foray into podcasting. I tried to start a podcast about the 90s with my friends called The Good Old Days, but that failed to launch. Then I had a podcast that ran for a good while called The Voices Among Us, in which I interviewed unhoused people on the street about their lives. Those experiences meant that I had the tools and knowledge necessary to launch the Hardcore Self Help Podcast. And man, has it been great. I have had the opportunity to answer questions about anxiety, relationships, sexuality, school, neuroscience, medications, abusive families, PTSD, depression, bipolar, autism, mushrooms, ketamine, queerness, blackness, multiculturalism, gender identity and so much more. I've been able have great conversations with Seth Godin, Dr. Andrea Letamendi, Kati Morton, Gary Bishop, Dr. Anna Yusim, Tiffany Jenkins, Jenn Harris, Dr. Patrick McGrath, Tony Weaver Jr., Dr. Judy Ho, Dr. David Burns, and many others. And yet, as the years of the podcast march on, the interest is waning. I will always have pride for being something of an O.G. in the mental health podcasting space, but as my wife said recently, it's important to make room for other voices and to not force something that isn't working. I wouldn't say the podcast isn't working, but it certainly isn't what it once was. At one point in time, I was getting enough listens to garner thousands per month in advertising revenue. These days, I'm lucky if an episode hits 5,000 listens in a month. To be clear, that is still a substantial amount, but for the hours that I put into the podcast, the decline in listenership over time becomes hard to justify at a certain point. Here's a graph from my podcast hosting platform so you can see what I mean:  I worry a bit about coming off as ungrateful or just chasing numbers. Hopefully it's clear that I am immensely proud of what I've been able to do with the podcast and so incredibly grateful for the opportunity to have a platform like this. I have a folder in my email with feedback from people that I have answered questions for, and trust me when I say there is no better pick-me-up on a rainy day than reading through some of them. However, ultimately, I need to figure out the best path forward for myself, for my career, and for my family. Unfortunately, a lot of that comes down to income right now. I need to make more money. While I get many benefits from continuing the podcast, it is no longer lucrative, and it takes up a great deal of time and mental space to maintain. As someone who always has my hands in many pies, I need to take a step back every so often to re-evaluate my priorities. To weigh the pros and cons of each facet of my career and life and determine where I should be increasing or decreasing my focus. Between my clinical work as a neuropsychologist and therapist, podcasting, writing books, giving professional talks, and being a presence for my family and loved ones, there isn't an obvious answer. But there is one that I am begrudgingly starting to admit to myself. I haven't even made an actual change yet, and I am already starting the grieving process. This project has been so incredibly important to me and central to my life. It's like letting go of a child. In fact, as I'm writing this, my 10-year-old just came in and told me that he doesn't want me to quit. Sigh… these choices are never easy. I should know – once upon a time, I wasn't known as Duff The Psych, I was known as the ASMRtist, Justawhisperingguy. And just like there are some OGs out there who have stuck around since my first ASMR videos, there will be OGs who are still with me a decade from now that started following me from my first podcast episodes. So, all of this begs the question: What now? I don't think I am going to be cutting off the podcast cold turkey. For one, I don't have any interest in getting rid of the entire back catalogue, so I'm not going to suddenly stop paying for my podcast host. I also may occasionally come back to post something on the podcast feed if I record an interview or have the bug to make some content. My Youtube channel will continue to be the primary platform where I release longform content. But it's time to take a big step back. It's time to find another avenue to continue building and engaging with my audience. It's time to put some effort into marketing my next book. It's time to stop stressing out because the kids are taking a long time to go to sleep or are being too loud so I can't record. It's time to take a deep breath and step off into the next stage of my life and career. Whatever the hell that may turn out to be.   Love, Robert

What if I told you that you have access to a power so profound that mastering it could transform your life? In this episode, I dive deep into the concept of focus and explore how it shapes our reality. You may have heard the phrase, “Where focus goes, energy flows,” but have you ever taken the time to truly understand its deeper meaning? That's exactly what I aim to uncover with you. Whether you're here because you're navigating your next big goal, searching for alignment in your life, or seeking inspiration to create a meaningful shift, this episode is packed with practical exercises, personal stories, and insights to help you take your focus—and your life—to the next level. Key Takeaways from This Episode: The Power of Focus: The energy of your life flows wherever your attention goes. When you learn to focus intentionally and consistently, you have the power to create anything. I guide you through a simple sensory-awareness exercise that demonstrates this concept in real time. You'll begin to see how even the smallest shift in focus can change your perception of reality. Authentic Goal-Setting: Are your goals truly yours, or are they influenced by others' standards of success? I share my own journey of chasing and achieving massive goals—some that felt deeply aligned, and others that, in hindsight, weren't what I authentically wanted. I challenge you to reflect: “What do I truly desire? What makes me come alive?” Sustaining Progress with Systems: I reveal how habits, systems, and reviews have been the cornerstone of my biggest successes. From my fitness journey to business breakthroughs, sustained focus paired with systems created life-changing results. Learn how to set up systems to track your goals and ensure your focus remains aligned with your priorities. Learning from Setbacks: I get real about the times I've lost focus, faced challenges, and allowed some goals to slip away. These experiences have taught me the importance of reflection and regular course corrections. Hear how I rebounded from the pandemic's disruption and reconnected with my core priorities. The Role of Effortless Action: There's a big difference between grinding through life and experiencing the joy of aligned effort. When your goals are authentic, the work often feels more like play. Reflective Prompts: After listening, take some time to journal or think through these questions: What areas of my life are currently receiving most of my focus? Are they aligned with my true desires? Am I setting goals based on what others define as success, or do they resonate deeply with me? Do I have systems in place to track and review my progress? If not, what can I implement today? How can I create habits that eventually run on autopilot, freeing my focus for new goals? Highlights You Don't Want to Miss: My personal story of generating $750,000 in a single year and why I intentionally shifted focus afterward. The incredible six-year journey that transformed my health and fitness—and what caused me to lose that momentum temporarily. A sensory exercise that helps you immediately experience how focus brings unseen things into your awareness. The importance of asking, “At what cost?” before pursuing a goal—and how this question has saved me from misaligned decisions. Why effortless action (not grinding) leads to sustainable success. A Personal Invitation: If this episode resonates with you, I'd love to hear about your takeaways. Email me at cliff@cliffravenscraft.com. Share what inspired you, what you're reflecting on, or what you plan to do next. I'm always blown away by what you, my listeners, share with me—it's often something I didn't even realize I said! If you're craving deeper connection and support, I invite you to consider joining one of my mastermind groups. Whether you're a full-time self-employed business owner or someone aspiring to take that leap, I've created communities designed to help you stay focused, inspired, and aligned on your journey. Email me if you're interested in having a conversation about this. Until next time, let's take everything we do to the next level! – Cliff Ravenscraft

I share my history with live streaming, from early audio live shows via SkypeCast to video streaming on Ustream, and the transition back to audio-only content, until just recently. I discuss the technical hurdles and time demands that came with producing high-quality video content, and how these challenges led me to reconsider my approach. After recounting my recent explorations and the lessons I've learned, I offer recommendations for those considering adding a video version to their audio-first podcast. Join me on this evolving journey as I deliver valuable insights to help you weigh the pros and cons of creating a video version while preserving the essence of your audio-first podcasting approach.

FOCUS ON THE CHALLENGE What is your biggest challenge right now? When coaches come to me for help, they aren't looking for coaching. They are looking for solutions to their biggest challenge. If you want to succeed, don't try to solve all of your problems. Focus on your next most important challenge. Stay focused until you reach success. Distraction is the enemy of our success. How many courses and books have your started but never finished? At that time, you had a challenge you were trying to overcome. Did the challenge just go away? Or, did you get distracted by the next big thing. LOSING CLIENTS A year ago, my business hit a plateau. I wasn't gaining clients as fast as I wanted. Things really slowed. My business expenses hadn't slowed down. And my revenue wasn't growing. One day I was on a call with a long time client. She was my most tenured client at the time. We had been together for quite some time. It was time to renew our agreement, and she dropped the bomb on me. On that call, she let me know she was doubling down on her business coach and did not want to renew with me. She said she appreciated all we've accomplished, but it was time to try something new. Now, most all business relationships come to an end at some point. In sports, players get traded, cut or retire. In business, leaders leave for other opportunities, get fired for sub-par performance, or leave due to life changes. Things come to an end and this was no different. But it felt different. I was getting comfortable with our relationship, but she needed more focus. Suddenly, I lost an important stream of revenue. And my business wasn't growing. More importantly, I wasn't growing. I wasn't doing anything to intentionally grow my business. GETTING CLIENTS It suddenly hit me that my clients was trimming back to gain focus. She had an important challenge she needed to solve, and focus would help her get there. When I evaluated my situation, I realized I too was following (and paying) three different experts. They each had a different strategy to achieve a different result. That's when I decided landing more clients was my number one priority. So, I decided to not renew one of my coaches. The second mentor was trimmed back tremendously. I remained involved in the group, but not to the level I had been. And, I doubled down on the one coach that had the clearest path to helping me land more clients. That was a year ago. In Q4 of 2022, I had my best quarter ever. More clients. Increased revenue. Incredible momentum. That is the power of focus on your most important challenge. Are you ready to overcome your challenge? First, identify your most important challenge that needs to be solved today. Next, find the one person or resource that can help you overcome that challenge. Finally, focus on that one challenge until you overcome it. Don't waiver. Eliminate all other distractions. Be diligent until you succeed. Coaches recently shared with me their most pressing challenge. Let's give you a few examples of how to overcome your challenge. LONG CONTENT My biggest challenge is setting time to prepare long term content, which I am working on, but not efficiently. Janie Take time to create a process. Each quarter, I create a content calendar. This calendar maps out the topics over the next 13 weeks. By laying out the topics, I have a roadmap to see how each topic connects to the next and supports the long-term strategy. Next, I create a rough outline for each of the 13 topics. This process takes a few hours. Block out the time once a quarter and your content creation will be much easier. Now that I have the outlines, I just need to create the episodes. And I repurpose the content. Define all of the steps that need to be completed to create your episode each week. You already have the outline. Now you simply need to perform. These steps will include equipment set up, recording, editing, exporting and publishing. Finally, schedule it. What gets scheduled gets done. You don't have to do all of the steps at the same time. In fact, it's wise to split them up. Recording and performing require a different part of the brain than editing and posting. There are times of the day when you are better at performing with high energy. And there are other times of the day when you are more focused for the detailed work of editing and posting. Do the work when you're in your zone of genius for each. The most important part is scheduling. Put it on your calendar and honor it. GETTING SALES My biggest challenge in my author business right now is getting sales for my already published books and also launching myself as a Speaker. Regards, Creg Which is most important? I would think being a speaker would lead to more book sales. Many coaches spread themselves too thin. My radio general manager once gave me a great piece of advice. We were planning our television advertising. Part of that process was deciding which shows to advertise on. He told me, "It's more important to go deep rather than wide." He wanted us to get in front of a focused audience many times rather than a broad audience once or twice. Instead of buying every show, we purchased ads on a few shows that we knew our audience was watching. Then, we were on that show multiple times to ensure our audience saw the commercial. When you are working to grow your podcast audience or grow your business, find three marketing vehicles that can help you get there and go all in. Don't try to do every strategy. It will take too long to build an audience. Instead, pick the three that you enjoy most, you can do well, and you can do consistently. That might include speaking at events, daily email, and podcast appearances. It might include social media groups, YouTube advertising, and webinars with JV partners. Pick your favorite three. Focus on those three only. Don't get distracted by the shiny new strategy. Stick to your three. REBRANDING I'm rebranding my podcast to unify my business. My challenge is should I start a new podcast, or just rename the one I have? Is there a traffic/audience size tipping-point that it makes more sense to do one over the other? -Ryan There isn't really a tipping point. It all depends on the audience. Will the new show have the same audience as the previous show? If so, just change the name and keep going. When the new show has a different audience, start a new show. Cliff Ravenscraft was the Podcast Answer Man. That was also the name of his show. Podcast Answer Man launched in December 2006 to help podcasters with everything podcasting. Cliff pivoted to become a life coach rather than simply a podcast coach. After 438 episodes, he rebranded the show to The Cliff Ravenscraft Show. The new podcast is devoted to helping people take their message, business and life to the next level. The Podcast Answer Man audience could also be the Cliff Ravenscraft audience. The target just expanded a bit. However, Cliff has now released a new version of Podcast Answer Man. He launched it in August 2021. Every episode of the new Podcast Answer Man will be evergreen content on the topic of Podcasting. Unfortunately, he has only posted 14 episodes in 2 years. Many podcasts have changed the name. It's not the name that matters. It comes down to the audience. Who are you trying to attract. Does your current audience fit that description? If so, just change the name and keep going.   If you don't have a mentor who can take your hand and walk you every step of the way, go to www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/apply, click the button and apply to have a chat with me.

I recently published episode 705 of The Cliff Ravenscraft Show where I invited my great friend, Megan Porta, to have a conversation about our experiences with manifesting success and turning our dreams into reality. We included "The Law of Attraction" in the title. The feedback that has come in from that episode has been incredible. Most of the feedback was along the lines of surprise that I, Cliff Ravenscraft, am a strong believer in "The Law of Attraction." One person wrote that she was blown away when she heard that I enjoy the teachings of Abraham Hicks, telling me that she, herself, has been "a closet Abraham Hicks fan" for many years. I've received so many questions, requesting more insight about how the Law of Attraction works. I have also received a large number of emails from people who have grown up from a similar faith tradition, where they have felt drawn to learn more about the Law of Attraction, but fear how they would be perceived by others if anyone found out that they were studying it. They wanted to know how I, given how far I was into the Protestant, Evangelical, Fundamentalist worldview, was introduced to the Law of Attraction and how I overcame the warnings that this community has given against such study. I decided to take all my years of notes on the Law of Attraction and everyone's questions that I have received, and I created an evergreen resource in the form of a full Law of Attraction Workshop. This podcast is the full audio recording of that workshop. In this episode, I mentioned the link http://awakening.cliffravenscraft.com and I also told you that I'd include my email address, cliff@cliffravenscraft.com. I'd love for you to email me and let me know your thoughts on this episode.

I was recently interviewed on The Cliff Ravenscraft Show about my new book, Read This or Die. Since this book is, by necessity, so deeply personal, this interview was equally personal and somewhat challenging to get through. However, I felt that it encapsulated the message of the book so well, I asked for Cliff's permission to use the audio on my own show. My sincere thanks to Cliff Ravenscraft (a.k.a. The Mindset Answer Man) for making this episode possible. If you're not familiar with Cliff's work, I recommend you take a look at the links below.

Cliff is a business mentor, coach, and public speaker. He can help you take your message, business, and life to the next level so that you can live your dream life and do the things you feel most called to do in the world.In this episode, Cliff discusses the "50 Things I Want" exercise he has designed, which entails writing down 50 things you would like to have in your life or something you already have but would like to see more frequently.Cliff advises that from the 50 items, you should create a new list of the top 10 things you desire or dream about, with the first three items being your top three goals. Once you have that, you have granted yourself the liberty to begin dreaming, yearning, and seeking.Through this activity, Cliff assists individuals in reconnecting with their ability to visualize what they wish to create and gaining clarity as to why they desire this. He is also directing people to come to a place of making a decision. A decision is an incredibly powerful thing; it's cutting yourself off from any other outcome other than seeing that dream become a reality.Cliff also tells us about a client she had dealt with who underwent a remarkable shift and found fulfillment in it. Her client started listening to their podcast when she was a teenager, according to Cliff. As a child, she endured some physical abuse.

And at the time, it had approximately 40,000 to 50,000 subscribers; this client was one of them. She began socializing with people outside of her household for the first time. She developed relationships with other individuals. They developed such friendships with people from all over the globe that she began to meet with them outside of her house.She is currently cultivating these significant partnerships and beginning to emerge from her depression. She dreams to become a world traveler.Now, she has become widely recognized in the online community. Through social media, she has established a small community and a following.Later on, her client completed Cliff's A-Z course and launched a podcast titled Fighting Anorexia. Then, a documentary was made about her life. She has appeared in numerous magazines, television show,s and radio, and she has begun a body image coaching career. That is the day she becomes an inspiration to women around the globe.Cliff Ravenscraft discusses with Dr. Brad how we can eliminate limiting ideas that are preventing us from living the life we desire.Cliff Ravenscraft's story is a motivational, inspiring, and influential of a person who continually finds the best path in his life, and follows the mission of his life, which is to be of service to other people.

The entrepreneurial journey is full of highs and lows…and yes, I acknowledge that the same could be said of any job - BUT, it's somehow different when you're running the show.

This week's entire episode is devoted to an incredible tool for copywriters (although, I'm quite certain it was not built exclusively for us) - Notion. Notion is one of those things I was "sort of" familiar with... I knew it was some sort of workspace management system, but I had no idea how much it could be tailored to copywriting and content creation until I got a look at how Cliff Ravenscraft was using it. I'm not easily impressed these days, and I certainly don't feel the need to learn a new app just because it's popular. This app, however, is worth some effort. I invited Cliff to share with us how he's using Notion to quickly create and manage incredible content that serves his listeners and clients.
